Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat use affects morphological diversification in dragon lizards
TL;DR: It is shown that structural habitats contribute to differential diversification of limb and body form in dragon lizards (Agamidae), and results suggest that ground‐dwelling facilitates ecomorphological differentiation and that use of trees or rocks impedes diversification.
Book ChapterDOI
Experimental studies of adaptive differentiation in Bahamian Anolis lizards
TL;DR: A. sagrei and A. carolinensis were experimentally introduced onto small islands in the Bahamas and the divergence was related to island vegetational characteristics or propagule size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of extreme body size disparity in monitor lizards (varanus)
TL;DR: It is suggested that habitat use exerts a strong, multidimensional influence on the evolution of morphological size and shape disparity in monitor lizards, with terrestrial lineages evolving extremely large size and rock‐dwellers becoming very small.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of morphological variation and correlates of habitat use in Chameleons
TL;DR: This study confirms that considerable intrafamilial variation exists among chameleons and that these traits appear to be evolutionarily quite labile, and investigates whether morphological variation correlates with differences in ecology and whether correlations exist among different aspects of morphology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shared and unique features of diversification in greater antillean anolis ecomorphs
TL;DR: Quantifying the relative importance of shared and unique responses to similar selective regimes provides a more complete understanding of phenotypic diversification, even in this much-studied system of anole ecomorphs.
