Evolution of Anolis lizard dewlap diversity.

PloS one - 7 Mar 2007

Nicholson Kirsten E, Harmon Luke J, Losos Jonathan B

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The dewlaps of Anolis lizards provide a classic example of a complex signaling system whose function and evolution is poorly understood. Dewlaps are flaps of skin beneath the chin that are extended and combined with head and body movements for visual signals and displays. They exhibit extensive morphological variation and are one of two cladistic features uniting anoles, yet little is known regarding...
