These results highlight the need for both a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the origin of such an imbalance, and in identifying the critical thresholds that must not be crossed to guarantee the viability of sex-biased populations. Leer más.
We observed that climbing species present on average flatter heads than ground-dwelling species, as well as different evolutionary trajectories. These findings suggest the complex interplay between habitat use and morphological evolution in lizards, highlighting how distinct selective pressures drive divergent adaptations in different functional traits.
