The role of bite force in the evolution of head shape and head shape dimorphism in Anolis lizards

Patterns of convergent evolution in head shape, combined with performance measures, provide ideal opportunities to understand the processes driving its evolution. Anole lizards represent an excellent subject to test this, as recurrent habitat specialists or ecomorphs evolved independently across different islands. We show that phenotypic similarity corresponds to both phylogenetic similarity and similarity in habitat, indicating that there is...
