“…For example, some species of solitary lizards exhibit social attraction to fruit resources (e.g., Podarcis lilfordi and Ameiva corax; Eifler & Eifler, 2014;Pérez-Cembranos & Pérez-Mellado, 2015) in which the presence of conspecifics at a resource may be a cue of patch richness (Pérez-Cembranos & Pérez-Mellado, 2015). Because aggressive behaviour among foraging lizards at fruit resources has been documented when the resources are moderately limited (Eifler & Eifler, 2014) and larger individuals are more capable of moving and opening fruit (Eifler et al, 2016), it is possible that larger, more F I G U R E 1 (a) Social status has predictable effects on individual resource access and space use that may explain individual-level variation in seed-dispersal effectiveness. Dominant individuals defend preferred resources, forcing subordinate individuals to supplement their diets to a greater extent with secondary resources.…”

“…For example, some species of solitary lizards exhibit social attraction to fruit resources (e.g., Podarcis lilfordi and Ameiva corax ; Eifler & Eifler, 2014; Pérez‐Cembranos & Pérez‐Mellado, 2015) in which the presence of conspecifics at a resource may be a cue of patch richness (Pérez‐Cembranos & Pérez‐Mellado, 2015). Because aggressive behaviour among foraging lizards at fruit resources has been documented when the resources are moderately limited (Eifler & Eifler, 2014) and larger individuals are more capable of moving and opening fruit (Eifler et al, 2016), it is possible that larger, more dominant individuals may have greater access to fruit resources and consequently disperse a greater quantity of seeds. As this example demonstrates, although the components necessary for socially mediated seed dispersal are present in this system, future studies are needed to determine the degree to which it occurs.…”

“…Social structure encompasses affiliative, cooperative, or tolerant social bonds as well as agonistic relationships [4]. The intensity, nature, and frequency of interactions contribute to the overall social structure, with dominance hierarchies sometimes, but not always, playing a role [5,6]. The accumulation of varying types of interactions forms the basis of a social structure, and for participating individuals results in costs and benefits to fitness.…”

“…However, agonistic displays have been relatively well-studied in lizards for the role they play in access to resources and mates [e.g., 5], perhaps because agonistic displays are more readily observed and defined in the field, and initiated under controlled experimental conditions. Despite the fact that many studies investigating sociality in reptiles do not make a clear distinction between social structure and organization, the complexity of reptile social behavior is increasingly being recognized [12] in both the overall social system [9], and in the frequency and complexity of cooperative behaviors (e.g., Pholidoscelis foraging behavior) [6]. Social network analysis provides a powerful tool for quantifying components of social structure, as networks are built by evaluating dyadic relationships with respect to phenotypes influencing sociality [13] and environmental influences like habitat complexity [14] and seasonality [15].…”
