Convergent Evolution Associated with Habitat Decouples Phenotype from Phylogeny in a Clade of Lizards
Convergent evolution can explain similarity in morphology between species, due to selection on a fitness-enhancing phenotype in response to local environmental conditions. As selective pressures on body morphology may be strong, these have confounded our understanding of the evolutionary relationshi...
