Environmental colour pattern variation in Mediterranean Podarcis.

BMC ecology and evolution - 25 Apr 2024

Escoriza Daniel

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Lizards of the genus Podarcis are widespread in the Mediterranean region, including islands and island archipelagos. These small-bodied lizards have a predominantly protective green-brown colouration. However, some populations display unusual patterns, in which the colouration is predominantly blue or uniformly black. This study explores the factors that influence this chromatic variation, whether...
