The Evolution of Ecomorphological Convergence in Dwarf Chameleons (Bradypodion).

The American naturalist - 1 Jun 2026

Petford Melissa A, Herrel Anthony, Tolley Krystal A

Abstract excerpt

AbstractEnvironmental variation can drive patterns of directional selection, often leading to adaptive changes in shape and form. When selection pressures are strong, different lineages may converge on similar phenotypes, or phenotypes may be conserved for a particular habitat type. In the dwarf chameleons (Bradypodion) of southern Africa, it has been hypothesized that some lineages have converged on similar...
