Peruvian Islands Foster Rapid Morphological Evolution in Introduced Lizards

[Daniela Zamalloa-Bustinza]

As well exemplified by a significant fraction of anole research, islands can act as natural laboratories of evolution. With limited space, fewer predators, simplified communities, and isolation from the mainland, islands often impose strong and distinctive selective pressures relative to continental habitats. However, although anoles provide some of the most famous examples of evolution on […]
