在加拉帕戈斯群岛的一个无人岛（Hood）上对热带象甲（Tropidurus delanonis）进行了为期18个月的野外调查。研究的目的是显示鬣蜥的社会结构，行为和生态方面的相互关系。五类蜥蜴的区别和着色类型和行为之间的相互关系。数据给出了人口结构，组成和灵活性，生殖周期，窝卵数，个体发育和颜色和行为的变化。详细的地图显示了女性和男性领地的分布以及试图获得领地的男性占据的地区。生物量计算所有类别的切除总面积和有利和不利的地区内的观察区。各种着色类型的意义进行了实验测试。
A field study of Tropidurus delanonis was carried out on an uninhabited island (Hood) of the Galapagos Archipelago over 18 months. The purpose of the study is to show the interrelation between social structure, behaviour and ecological aspects of the iguanid lizard Tropidurus delanonis. Five lizard categories are distinguished and the interrelation between colouration type and behaviour is shown. Data are given on population structure, composition and flexibility, reproductive cycle, clutch size, ontogeny and changes in colouration and behaviour. Detailed maps show the distribution of female and male territories and the area occupied by those male male that attempt to acquire a territory. The biomass is calculated for all categories in resect to total area available and to favorable and unfavorable areas within the observation area. The significance of various colouration types was tested experimentally.
