摘要: Three species of Anolis lizards utilize objects projecting out the dense vegetation in which they live to survey surrounding areas. This @`post—vantage behavior" may be used habitat selection. Binary choice experiments employing an artificial post field situations demonstrate that A. auratus and pulchellus are able choose their normal grass—land using this behavior. Large cristatellus a tree—trunk whereas smaller individuals grass—bush habitat. difference accords with observed structural for two size classes. See full-text article at JSTOR
