The article explores the life history of teiid lizard Ameiva ameiva in northeastern Brazil, which is characterized by a semiarid climate and a remarkable seasonality in rainfall. The teiid lizard is one of the largest geographic distributions among lizards in the New World and it is commonly seen in Mexico, Central America and most of South America. The authors' study was done at the Ecological Station of the Serido and their work consisted of monthly sampling over three consecutive days from October 2008 - September 2010. They disclosed that adult A. ameiva continue to feed on small prey, which suggests competition for food among age classes.
