Anoli s lizards are a model system for the study of adaptive radiation and convergent
evolution. Greater Antillean anoles have repeatedly evolved six similar forms or ecomorphs …

Aquatic anoles present an interesting ecomorphological puzzle. On the one hand, the link
between habitat use and morphology is well established as convergent within the …

The repeated, convergent evolution of body shape and microhabitat use in Greater Antillean
lizards of the genus Anolis (anoles) provides compelling evidence of the importance of …

The evolution of distinct ecologies and correlated morphologies (“ecomorphs,” in
combination) among similar species allows sympatric occupation of diverse microhabitats …

Anolis lizards are one of the most diverse vertebrate genera and are the classic example of
adaptive radiation and convergent evolution. Anoles exhibit great morphological diversity …

Uncovering convergent and divergent patterns of diversification is a major goal of
evolutionary biology. On four Greater Antillean islands, Anolis lizards have convergently …

Ecological niche partitioning of Anolis lizards of the Greater Antillean islands has been the
focus of many comparative studies, and much is known about external morphological …

Caribbean Anolis lizards are often cited as a textbook example of adaptive radiation. Similar
morphologies (ecomorphs) have originated in similar ecological settings on different large …

Comparisons between closely related radiations in different environments provide a unique
window into understanding how abiotic and biotic factors shape evolutionary pathways …

Differing selective pressures on islands versus the mainland may produce alternative
evolutionary outcomes among closely related lineages. Conversely, lineages may be …
