How do lizard niches conserve, diverge or converge? Further exploration of saurian evolutionary ecology.

BMC ecology and evolution - 30 Jul 2021

Pelegrin Nicolás, Winemiller Kirk O, Vitt Laurie J, Fitzgerald Daniel B, Pianka Eric R

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Environmental conditions on Earth are repeated in non-random patterns that often coincide with species from different regions and time periods having consistent combinations of morphological, physiological and behavioral traits. Observation of repeated trait combinations among species confronting similar environmental conditions suggest that adaptive trait combinations are constrained by functional...
