The common wall lizard is a synantropic and colour polymorphic species. We investigated effects of habitat and colour morph on antipredator response. Urbanization affected refuge use and habituation to disturbance. We detected different antipredator strategies between colour morphs. Antipredator response revealed different levels of behavioural plasticity.
