ASPIDOSCELIS AT SITE CL­13

(COVE CAMPGROUND)

Aspidoscelis neomexicana was abundant at Cove Campground (tables 1, 2), the source of specimen AMNH R­151740 used in our karyotypic and electrophoretic analyses. Site CL­13 consisted of a relatively open­structured assemblage of grasses, weeds, and scattered mesquites ( fig. 2). Flat topography, periodic mowing, and use by humans constituted the primary nonclimatic modifiers of habitat structure at CL­13. In three visits to the site, GJM collected 12 A. neomexicana and five A. tesselata C (appendix 2). This enclave of Aspidoscelis habitat, like most that we sampled north of the Canadian River, was temporally inhabited only by parthenogenetic species to the exclusion of A. sexlineata viridis .
