Resumo(s)
The behaviour in groups of both sexes of marbled
newts (Triturus marmoratus) from Sintra, Portugal,
kept for a few weeks in a large aquarium, is described.
Behaviour patterns described for this species and for other
species in this genus were recognised. The following
behaviours are described for the first time: Walk-over,
Land-over, Stand-on, Show, Erect-body, Yawn, Circle,
and Dig. Females seem to have a more active role in
courtship than is usually considered. The behaviour frequencies
for each sex were analysed using simulation
statistics. Some elements usually classified as male sexual
behaviours occur in both sexes and are likely to play
other social roles.
