Excerpt from Sympatry and Interrelationships in Costa Rican Anoles
Anolis has well over 200 species, mostly Neotropical but with some in the temperate zones. The majority have at least some arboreal tendencies, and are inhabitants of warm, humid climates. There is much diversity in the West Indies, with a host Of Species endemic to single islands or groups of islands. The insular species have been the subjects Of intensive studies that have contributed substantially to an understanding of evolution and ecology, and thus have in many instances clarified the phylogenetic and competitive relationships of kinds that live in sympatry.
Much less field work has been done with the even more numer ous mainland species, and in general their relationship and ecology remain poorly known. Slower progress in studies Of the mainland species results from the fact that they are distributed over a much greater area than that Of all the West Indian islands combined, that they generally Occur in much lower population densities, and that their ecological relationships are perforce more complex than in kinds living in the relatively simplified insular ecosystems.

Sympatry and Interrelationships in Costa Rican Anoles (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the ecological relationships of seventeen out of Costa Rica's known twenty-five species of anole lizards. Many of the lizards in this region coexist in the same area and use the same resources, so their interactions are extraordinarily varied and range across all degrees of competition. The author finds that the selective pressure exerted by mutual competition on species occupying the same habitat niches differs based on variables such as size, aggressiveness, population density, and the ratio of sympatric to allopatric areas in overall geographic ranges. This book offers not only an exciting look at the natural history of Costa Rican anoles but also a valuable opportunity to understand the complex ecological dynamics that have shaped the evolution of these remarkable creatures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332883097_0
