Data from: Experimental manipulation suggests effect of polyandry but not mate familiarity on within-pair aggression in the social skink, Liopholis whitii

Long-term monogamy is a key characteristic of family living across animals. The evolutionary maintenance of long-term monogamy has been suggested to be facilitated by increased reproductive coordination as a result of mate familiarity, leading to increased reproductive success. However, such effects can be compromised if females mate outside the pair bond (e.g. female polyandry), introducing conflicts of interest between the male and female. Here, we experimentally test the effects of both mate familiarity and female polyandry on agonistic behaviour and reproduction in a family living lizard, Liopholis whitii. We found that mate familiarity did not decrease the level of aggression between pairs whereas reducing female polyandry did. However, we did not find an effect of either mate familiarity or female polyandry on female reproductive output. These results suggest that male behavioural responses to female polyandry may influence pair stability in Liopholis whitii, providing support for the growing appreciation of the multiple ways in which female polyandry can influence the stability of family living.

FIGURE 7 in A new species of rock skink (Scincidae: Liopholis) from the Central Ranges bioregion of arid Australia

FIGURE 7. Distribution of Liopholis aputja sp. nov. (orange) and Liopholis margaretae (green). Coloured symbols are examined specimens, white dots are observations of Liopholis margaretae and hence not examined material. The landscape is shown as a digital elevation model over a hill-shading layer, with white areas corresponding to higher elevations. Note the clear topographic separation of the two species by the Amadeus lowlands: blue areas denote Lake Amadeus and associated playa lakes of the Amadeus Basin—a significant (~180 km wide) biogeographical barrier for rock-dwelling fauna.

FIGURE 3. Meristic character variation between lineages based on n = 59 specimens. (A) Biplot of non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) performed on meristic characters. Specimens (coloured points) that are ordinated closer to one another are phenotypically more similar than those further apart. Holotype specimens are denoted by 'H' above data points. (B) Comparative boxplots of meristic characters showing the mean (white dot), median (thick grey horizontal line) range, and inter-quartile range (coloured box). Asterisks denote characters bearing statistically significant (GLM) differences in expected counts.

FIGURE 2. Mensural character variation between lineages based on n = 54 specimens. (A) Biplot of PCA with axes showing the first two principal components (PC1 and PC2) and their percentage of explained variation. Large, coloured ovals denote the 90% concentration ellipses for each lineage. Small points denote PC scores of individuals, whereas large points denote group centroids. Holotype specimens are denoted by 'H' above data points. Variables are denoted by arrows, the direction and length of which indicates their degree of contribution to each axis. Each variable is coloured according to its percentage contribution to its associated PC. (B) Graph of mensural character loadings from PCA. (C) Violin plots with embedded boxplots of size corrected mensural characters for each lineage showing the mean (white dot), range, frequency, and inter-quartile range (black rectangle). Asterisks denote characters bearing statistically significant mean differences. Note that SVL was not included in the PCA of size adjusted characters, but is presented in C to show raw adult (> 75 mm SVL) variation in SVL (n = 62 for SVL in C).
