Abstract

Abstract Blood-squirting from ocular sinuses is a unique defensive behavior widespread in horned lizards. During an ecological study in the state of Mexico, Mexico, we captured 24 males and 23 females of Phrynosoma orbiculare, of which three males squirted blood during gentle handling. Two individuals were of juvenile size, suggesting, with data from large adults, that P. orbiculare defensive strategy may be employed throughout life.

墨西哥高原角蜥的血喷现象

摘要血从眼窦喷出是一种独特的防御行为，广泛存在于角蜥蜴身上。在墨西哥墨西哥州的一项生态研究中，我们捕获了24只雄性和23只雌性轮藻，其中三只雄性在轻轻处理时喷出鲜血。有两个个体是幼年个体，根据成年大鼠的数据表明，轮匝肌的防御策略可能会贯穿一生。

期刊介绍： The Southwestern Naturalist (a publication of the Southwestern Association of Naturalists since 1953) is an international journal (published quarterly) that reports original and significant research in any field of natural history. This journal promotes the study of plants and animals (living and fossil) in the multinational region that includes the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America. Appropriate submission of manuscripts may come from studies conducted in the countries of focus or in regions outside this area that report significant findings relating to biota occurring in the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America. Publication is in English, and manuscripts may be feature articles or notes. Feature articles communicate results of completed scientific investigations, while notes are reserved for short communications (e.g., behavioral observations, range extensions, and other important findings that do not in themselves constitute a comprehensive study). All manuscripts (feature articles and notes) require an abstract in both English and Spanish.
