Nonsynchronous Spatial Overlap of Lizards in Patchy Habitats

摘要: Sympatric native Anolis species with similar structural habitats but contrasting climatic are closer in head and body size on species—rich than depauperate islands. In two localities, sympatric differential occurrences sun or shade sought lower, more shaded perches during midday, resulting partly nonsynchronous utilization of the vegetation by species. The second observation may be related to first following way: spatial overlap could dictate relatively great resource for coinhabiting patchy edge areas, requiring differences between prey addition those habitat. extent such small islands greater if these contained a proportion (with respect insolation), preferences were broader overlapping large, each locality, shade—inhab...
