What determines dewlap diversity in Anolis lizards? An among-island comparison.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Feb 2009

Vanhooydonck B, Herrel A, Meyers J J, Irschick D J

Abstract excerpt

Animal signalling systems are extremely diverse as they are under different, often conflicting, selective pressures. A classic textbook example of a diverse signal is the anoline dewlap. Both at the inter- and intraspecific levels, dewlap size, colour, shape and pattern vary extensively. Here, we...
