Reproductive behavior in Liolaemus manueli (Reptilia, Liolaemidae) and its relevance in an ex situ conservation program

In this note we report the first case of courtship, mating and birth of Liolaemus manueli in captivity. Specimens were captured near their Terra typica, as a product of human intervention in the area, and were deposited in a terrarium for later release. However, in the following days we observed cou...
