Test s w e ig ht s show ed no si gni c ant di f e rence (P > 0. 05) i n t h e d r y and rai n y seasons, but w e re ge nerally low f r om August to January. Whereas seminiferous tubule diam eter and epithelia heights showed no se asonal variation (p > 0.05), t h e epidi d ymal t u bule diamet er and epith e lia height s varied seasonally (P < 0 001 ). Although males in full breedin g condition we re caught all through the months, such were more prevalent from April to July. Female s with egg s or enlarged ovarian fo llicles were caught all through the study period. Cases o f mul tiple clutch es were predo m inant fro m February to J u ly. Ho wever vitello gen c activitie s decreased fr o m August to January thus co inciding with the observed decre a se in sperm a togenic activity in th e male. We propose that indivi dual m a le Agama li zards mainta in pecu liar b r eedin g patterns and that re prod uction in A g ama seems t o be influenc ed by food a vailability as well as microclimatic conditions at oviposition sites 2023-05-13T17:49:36Z 2023-05-13T17:49:36Z 2008-05 Journal DOI: 10.4314/ari.v2i3.40876 https://ir.oauife.edu.ng/123456789/5497 en application/pdf Animal Research International |
