Body size and density have been compared with the abundance and the size of invertebrates found in the environment in three populations of the common lizard, Lacerta vivipara J. This comparison leads to the following results : 1) There is no relationship between the density level of the lizard populations and the abundance of the invertebrates sampled. 2) There is a positive relationship between the average body size of females in each population and the abundance of prey in the biotope. 3) There is also a positive relationship between female average body size and the average body length of invertebrates. 4) The smaller size of males in one of the populations with regard to the other two stresses the importance of other factors than the...
