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 attempt to elucidate the various factors explaining the diversity in dewlap size and pattern among seven Anolis sagrei...
