- Male side-blotched lizards have more than one way to get the girl. Orange males are bullies. Yellows are sneaks. Blues team up with a buddy to protect their territories. Who wins? It depends - on a genetic game of roshambo.

Every spring, keen-eyed biologists carrying fishing poles search the rolling hills near Los Banos, about two hours south of San Francisco. But they’re not looking for fish. They’re catching rock-paper-scissors lizards.
The research team collects Western side-blotched lizards, which come in different shades of blue, orange and yellow.
Barry Sinervo, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at UC Santa Cruz, leads the team. Their intricate mating strategies reminded the the researchers of the rock-paper-scissors game where rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper and paper beats rock.
It’s all about territories. Orange males tend to be the biggest and most aggressive. They hold large territories with several females each and are able to oust the somewhat smaller and less aggressive blues. Blue males typically hold smaller territories and more monogamous, each focusing his interest on a single female. Yellow males tend not to even form exclusive territories Instead they use stealth to find unaccompanied females with whom to mate.
The yellow males are particularly successful with females that live in territories held by their more aggressive orange competitors. Because the orange males spread their attention among several females, they aren’t able to guard each individual female against intruding yellow males. But the more monogamous blues males are more vigilant and chase sneaky yellow males away.
Their different strategies keep each other in check making the system stable. Sinervo believes this game has likely been in play for at least 15 million years.
--- How do side-blotched lizards choose a mate?
The males compete with each other, sometimes violently, for access to females. The females generally prefer males of their own color but also give preference to whichever color male is more rare that mating season.
--- Why do lizards do push up and down?
Male lizards do little pushups as a territorial display meant to tell competitors to back off. It’s best to use a warning instead of fighting right away because there’s always a danger of getting hurt in a fight. Some lizards like side-blotched lizards also use slow push ups to warn their neighbors of an incoming threat.
--- Why do side-blotched lizards fight?
Sometimes aggressive territorial displays are not enough to dissuade invaders so side-blotched lizards will resort to fighting. They have small sharp teeth and will lunge at each other inflicting bites and headbutts.

Yep
Shout out to the blue necks. They seem like good geniune guys.
Blue: Lets go do some video game strat lads!
Yellow: Who needs that when you got all the ladies?
Orange: I'll crush you like tiny woman with big toe.

Warn the homies with abs
idk why i really expected them to be playing rock paper scissors with their front legs
very nice same!
I thought they were gonna play it with their tongues 😂
Same
Same haha
very nice that’s the whole reason why I clicked on the video
I love that each color has their own corresponding and appropriate musical theme.
I hadn't noticed. Thanks for pointing it out! :)
I didn't even notice that!
1:34 is a good place to hear it
Yeah, the orange sounds loud and intimidating, the yellow sounds quiet and mischievous, and the blue sounds friendly and relaxed.
But of course! How else will scientists be able to track them out in the field? They follow the tune of the color they are looking for.
You can see each gang grafitti on the rocks all around.
I'm lichen your observation.
Deep Look Are those taint in the rocks are their insignia? do they paint those?
That's a quality pun right there. Somewhat surprised the narrative didn't point out the lichen as the cause for the camouflage variety. As usual wishing deep look videos were longer. Too much greatness to shove into 3-4 minute videos.

Just saying,they probably were females but...that’s pretty darn funny.
@@vemmie3838 nah females have more mixed color necks, they kinda look like if all their colors on their necks mixed together.
Wow those lady lizards are wasting their time with orange and yellow lizards. Blue lizards are the real mvps.
They are guided by their instincts to make decisions that keeps them locked in a cycle of suffering.
Those lizards cannot escape it, but we can try to be blue lizards.
@@MrCmon113 once you became a blue, the chicks will go for yellow or orange. When they tasted too many yellow and orange, they want to get back to blue again. Law of nature.
I mean an orange who can defend them at the cost of polygamy may seem appealing to them, and I guess they mate with yellows when they get bored
Monogamy isn't for everyone.
“AlL WoMEn aRE tHe SaME..”
So, Orange is the pimp, Blue the Gentlemen and yellow the stalker
No wonder our mating pool is dominated by oranges. Yellows are supposed to keep them in check but they get thrown in prison.
Orange is chad*
roottruthseeker no mate that racist get outta here.
cultural not racial. racial would be to suggest that one of these strats is inferior or superior.
No.
Oranges are strong, yellows are handsome and blues are monogamous.
Why would one mate with a stalker?
*I bet the green ones sell car insurance.*
And the black 1 takes your tv
Uncle Jim best joke ever not even kidding
The multi color one blames everything on the blues

Alright pick your starter pokemon

Yes - we noticed!
Yeah, it was easy to spot meh.

Cool name
No, I am orange-yellow-blue colorblind. So I didn't see any colored spots on the rocks, and I can't see the lizards either. All I see are brown rocks and nothing else. BTW: What does the sky look like? Lol
What an amazing show of balance in nature.
I can't be the only one that thought until I've seen the video that there were literally three everlasting immortal lizards playing for millions of years rock paper scissors
I can't be
Cucina Memellosa I was hoping it was that. I'm a bit mad there wasn't at least them throwing hands.
You weren't the only one
I thought that as well
In Spanish the term for push ups is "lagartijas" wich translates to lizards, probably because of these ones?
Thespiciestboi 420 good catch!
No its for curly tailed lizards
Many lizard species around the world use push-ups as a display technique. It's so widespread on every continent there are lizards that it's probably difficult to pin down which lizard it came from, *but* it's from Latin, so we know that it would have been from a Mediterranean lizard species. One of the most widespread genus in that region is the Podarcis (the one that the extremely common Italian Wall Lizards are in), so smart money would place the origin with those lizards.
@@earthknight60 most people call them "flecciones", wich translates to "flexs"
Soy de River soy de River yo soy Actually it’s “flexiones” which translates to “flections”, look it up. But yes that’s what they are called where I’m from in Spain; “lagartijas” is more in South America as far as I know.
This is really fascinating. I'm not aware of too many species where the appearance of a species correlates to behavior.
Really gets me to wonder if maybe this species had more colors that died off.

#teambluelizard
agreed
I can't believe that nature is so awesome. These lizards are beautiful and adorable, plus they come in three different colors, plus they have three different mating strategies, plus they haven't developed into separate species or homogenized over millions of years. I mean, I bet even humans aren't going to have different races or cultures in another hundred years. And we certainly won't be able to match the sense of smug satisfaction those lizards are rocking in 0:36.
DaaaahWhoosh you sound like those people in ads up until you said "over millions of years". After that you should have said "and just for the price of .........." but between parenthesis

This was one of the coolest things I've ever seen, I love this program, and DEEPER LOOK! I'M INFATUATED BY LEARNING FROM YOU! KEEP UP THE AWSOME WORK!!
Honestly one of the best channels I've discovered on UA-cam so far. Consistent very high quality video editing and informative content. I love animal documentaries but they're usually way too long and dull, while I love the pace of your videos. Keep it up :)
Thanks so much!
We see very similar behaviors in humans.
Well, you're not wrong.
Orange = That one person who dates all of the girls
Yellow = Rapists
Blue = Normal humans
yep this explains everything! Eventually we need all these types. Seems nice guys beat players , while players beat jocks!
Guys no it was Pokémon go hands
And all the fighting is caused by the women.
These are perfect for the template of some sci-fi alien race. Imagine a star trek civ with them.
I'm planning a D&D homebrew race with the same mating strategy!
love how they hold the three lizards at 1:32 like showing off trading cards!! lizards have perfect poker face expression
I don't understand how can you guys only have a little bit over 100k subscribers. PBS and most of their productions, including yours, are just amazing to watch. No BS, great footage on informative stuff, and soothing voice.
Thank you! We'd love to have more subscribers. We're growing bit by bit!
Could it have something to do with a kind of subscriber burn effect when watched with all of the other PBS channels?
Actually sir, you cant spell PBS without BS... All jokes aside tho I agree

I guess this is where Pokemon Go developers got the concept...
What features this concept in Pokemon?
Colors tend to represent and incentivize certain behaviors. Same for the lizards apparently.

Orange Lizard: I am strong
Yellow Lizard: I am sneaky
Blue Lizard: *PUSH-UPS*
The video doesn't explain *why* females like to mate with the least common color.
Here's a hypothesis: If you're playing rock-paper-scissors, and you notice that everyone else is overplaying rock and underplaying paper, you'll be better off by playing paper more often. If there are lots of Orange males this season, there will also be lots of Orange males next season, because most of the Orange male's offspring will be Orange. If you're a female, you'll want to mate with a Yellow, because that way you're more likely to have Yellow offspring, who will steal ladies from all the Orange guys next season!
But I'm not sure why females want to mate with males of the same color...
I think females have a natural instinct to keep all their options open. Evolution is unpredictable, and having several strategies around helps you hedge your bets.
This is a very good question and I have doubts, I would like to see the research that demonstrates female selection based upon which is rarest of the phases.
Vladimir's response seems most apt I just am curious as to why it became color coordinated behavior. I mean if your born blue are you always blue in behavior? Genetically how did color become a way of distinguishing said behavior?
Probably the same reason people root for the underdog, might just be inatinct
This phenomenon happens with humans too. It’s called the “peak beard” syndrome. They’ve observed that the popularity of beards on men tends to go in cycles; beards might be considered chic for a few generations, then it swings over to clean shaven and then back again. The theory is that women are seeking out mates that stand out from the crowd, and as he style gets more popular, the previously unloved part of the male population now becomes the rarity and stands out in turn. Why this phenomenon occurs is not fully understood, but the prevailing theory is that this style of mate selection helps boost genetic diversity in a population, helping to fortify the group against a sudden change in fortunes like a pandemic or a new predator showing up.
Yellow- grass type
Orange- fire type
Blue- water type
every Pokemon fans logic
*Cough cough* Teams *cough cough*
Yeah it's more of the teams from as much as it pains me from saying this, Pokemon go
Kerazil if you put it in that way it doesn't work
Kerazil Don't you mean lightning for grass?
A bouquet of lizards is some thing i didn't think i needed, but now i want it
Aww I love them. They are doing their best.
What I find interesting is that the behavior and color are so tied together.
Like, in a running set of rock paper scissors, a strategy is to anticipate what your opponent is thinking.
So if you play rock twice, the next round they may think you'll play rock, so will be more likely to play paper, so you should play scissors.
(But that's only if you're one step ahead of the anticipation curve.)
Because if it's just the color that matters to the female, then in such a locked cycle, it may be genetically beneficial for an individual family line to have one color, and ACT like the the color that can beat it.
Or maybe maintaining the three breeds maintains JUST enough diversity as to be beneficial.
SO MUCH COOLNESS!
+Dennis Dole Thanks so much for watching! We're glad you enjoyed it!

U know my boii blue gots my back
Valor
Mystic
Instinct
blood hell xS
so accurate for some reason, mystic has the most numbers, valor are tryhard dicks, and instinct are Mr.StealYoGirl
how does it make sense tho
valor: tries to keep all gyms for themselfs and aggrasivly attacks any intruders
mystic : focuses on 1 gym but have so many players that they focus on all gyms
instinct : sneaks around taking over gyms from time to time
Not in Singapore here instinct waits for people to beat the gyms and claims it like an ass but they get destroyed 3 mins ltr cause they suck
Anxiety Nova in belgium instinct just play and take over gyms from time to time with very strong pokemon but mystic takes htem over becuase there always with multiple people so there in group
That moment when you realize how much this applies to humans as well ...
Lizard females are more loyal than human females

you described the orange lizard as the brutes of the group. at 0:34 they literally fit that description perfectly. it looks like its trying to flex on someone.
+Kitwana Hinckson Yeah, the oranges are called "ultra-aggressive." It's pretty awesome that a two or three inch lizard will do their territorial display against a human. "Back off, buddy! This is my rock!"
