Description
The book, "Anolis Lizards of the Caribbean: Ecology, Evolution, and Plate Tectonics Oxford Series in Ecology and Evolution" by Jonathan Roughgarden, discusses the different species of Anolis lizards found throughout the Caribbean islands, and how their physical and behavioral characteristics have evolved due to divergences in plate tectonic origins. It is of interest to students and researchers in ecology and theoretical, tropical, and population biology.
The Anolis lizards of the Caribbean are ideally suited for the study of evolutionary ecology. Offering fascinating insights into the more than 150 species dispersed throughout the Caribbean islands, Jonathan Roughgarden details the differences between species in a wide range of behavioral and physical characteristics, including foraging behaviors, body size, and habitat use, resulting from evolutionary divergences concurrent with the plate-tectonic origins of the region. This book will be of interest to students and researchers--ecology and theoretical, tropical, and population biology.
