The ratio between lengths of digit II and IV (digit ratio 2D: 4D) is a morphological feature that
likely affects tetrapod locomotor performances in different microhabitats. Modifications of this …

The remarkable ability of geckos to adhere to a wide-variety of surfaces has served as an
inspiration for hundreds of studies spanning the disciplines of biomechanics, functional …

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 …

Exploring the microhabitat determinants of organisms distribution and functional traits
differences can help us better understand the importance of intraspecific variations in …

Running is essential in all terrestrial animals mainly for finding food and mates and escaping
from predators. Lizards employ running in all their everyday functions, among which defense …

The modes and mechanisms of organismal attachment are numerous and diverse.
Terrestrial vertebrates, however, achieve robust and releasable attachment to both abiotic …

Anolis lizards have evolved morphologies in response to different selective factors related to
microhabitat use. Morphological diversity exhibits evolutionary patterns that reveal …

The relationship between microhabitat use and morphology in Anolis lizards has been well
studied in the Caribbean islands. However, studies of ecomorphology are scarce for the vast …

Variation in body characteristics related to lizard locomotion has been poorly studied at the
intraspecific level in Anolis species. Local adaptation due to habitat heterogeneity has been …

Los organismos vivos existen gracias a las adaptaciones. La evolución adaptativa toma
lugar cuando los genes y fenotipos más competitivos de una población, en términos de su …
