Body shape has a fundamental impact on organismal function, but it is unknown how
functional morphology and locomotor performance and kinematics relate across a diverse …

Males of the lizard Podarcis melisellensis occur in three distinct colours that differ in bite
performance, with orange males biting harder than white or yellow ones. Differences in bite …

We compared the morphological diversity (ie, the amount of morphological space occupied)
of two similar clades, the lizard genera Anolis and Sceloporus. These species‐rich …

We compared sexual dimorphism of body and head traits from adult lizards of populations of
Gallotia caesaris living in ecologically different habitats of El Hierro and La Gomera. Males …

Recent arguments in the literature prompted us to compare methods for assessing sexual
dimorphism in body proportions of lacertid lizards, using Acanthodactylus boskianus …

A morphometric analysis of the skull of the red or lesser panda, A iulurus fulgens (A iluridae),
and the giant panda, A iluropoda melanoleuca (Ursidae), was performed for evaluating the …

Abstract The North American horned lizards (Phrynosoma) represent a morphologically
specialized group of ant-eating lizards. Although variation in dietary fidelity is observed …

A snake‐like body plan and burrowing lifestyle characterize numerous vertebrate groups as
a result of convergent evolution. One such group is the amphisbaenians, a clade of limbless …

A central issue in evolutionary biology concerns whether morphology, performance and
habitat use have coevolved. We investigated evolutionary relationships among the size of …

During the last decades the study of functional morphology received more attention
incorporating more detailed data corresponding to the internal anatomy that together …
