Own Questions:
-
How much does morphology determine habitat, food choice or escape behavior?
Major Questions
-
-
How fitness is affected by the combination of performance, morphology, and resource allocation.
-
-
Is the fitness of a single species of Anolis lizard influenced by the interaction of morphology, performance, and resource allocation?

Findings
-
Selection seemed to favor fast, long limbed lizards on broad surfaces and slow, short limbed lizards on narrow surfaces
-
Morphology (limb length), Performance (sprint speed & sprint sensitivity), and Habitat (perch diameter) showed significant correlations in males
