Peek, R. (2015) - Sound as part of courtship behavior in Balkan Green Lizards (Lacerta trilineata) - L@CERTIDAE, 2015 [1]: 1–5.
Male courtship behavior in lizard species of the genus Lacerta usually begins by gentle biting in the female’s flanks, hind legs and tail. Eventually, the male will clamp onto the female by biting her flank followed by copulation. In Balkan Green Lizards (Lacerta trilineata) from the Peloponnese (Greece) the author observed an additional and very remarkable aspect of courtship behavior. Males repeatedly produced a clearly audible hissing sound during courtship which lasted up to 40 seconds. This suggests that sound is part of mating behavior in Balkan Green Lizards, a phenomenon that has not been described for any of the other species in the genus Lacerta.
