- Claw morphometrics in monitor lizards: Variable substrate and habitat use correlate to shape diversity within a predator guild.
D'Amore DC, Clulow S, Doody JS et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2018-06 · open access
Numerous studies investigate morphology in the context of habitat, and lizards have received particular attention. Substrate usage is often reflected in the morphology of characters associated with locomotion, and, as a result, claws have become well-studied ecomorphological traits linking the two.…
