Extreme miniaturization of a new amniote vertebrate and insights into the evolution of genital size in chameleons
Evolutionary reduction of adult body size (miniaturization) has profound consequences for organismal biology and is an important subject of evolutionary research. Based on two individuals we describe a new, extremely miniaturized chameleon, which may be the world’s smallest reptile species. The male...
