Question 1

main hypotheses

Answer 1

1) Patterns of ecomorphological evolution in the two mainland radiations are similar
2) Island anoles have greater variation in habitat use

3)

Question 2

results and interpretation

Answer 2

continental radiations can start on the island and move to mainland
invading mainland clades diversify in different ways
Mainland lizards inhabit a more diverse range of habitats (macro and micro) due to environment available and competition
M1 and GA had early evolutionary bursts that then slowed, M2 had consistently low rates of morphological evolution
M2 has evidence for early elevated species diversification, no support for this in M1 or GA

Question 4

ecomorph

Answer 4

A local variety of a species whose appearance is determined by its ecological environment
