There has been a recent surge of interest in the study of evolutionary relationships between
morphology and microhabitat use in lizards in general. Lizards of the genus Anolis, most …

Caribbean Anolis lizards exhibit a complex suite of ecological, morphological, and
behavioral traits that allow their specialization to particular microhabitats. These microhabitat …

Anolis lizards have been a model of study in ecomorphology in the Caribbean islands
because species with the same type of microhabitat share similar morphological features …

Phenotypic evolution can cause either divergent or convergent phenotypic patterns. Even
adaptation to the same environment may result in divergence of some elements of …

Anolis lizards have become model organisms for the study of adaptive radiation, as on each
of the larger islands in the Caribbean, animals with similar morphologies have …

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 …

The study of sexual dimorphism in Anolis lizards brings the opportunity to understand how
this phenomena interacts with adaptive radiation to produce broader diversity. We explored …

With the exception of the well-documented case for anoline lizards, recent studies have
found few evolutionary relationships between morphology and habitat use in lizards despite …

The breast‐shoulder apparatus (BSA) is a structurally and kinematically complex region of
lizards. Compared with the pelvic region it has received little attention, even though its …

Anolis lizards in the Greater Antilles partition the structural microhabitats available at a given
site into four to six distinct categories. Most microhabitat specialists, or ecomorphs, have …
