Environmental Gradients in Lizard Colouration by Lekshmi B. Sreelatha, Pedro Tarroso, Ossi Nokelainen, Zbyszek Boratyński, Miguel Angel Carretero

“…We studied direct and indirect (mediated by body mass) relationships between environmental variables and the lightness of lizards, by piecewise structural equation modelling. We simultaneously tested predictions from Gloger's (darker colouration in warm and humid environments), thermal melanism (darker colouration in colder environments), photoprotection (darker colouration in areas with higher intensity of solar radiation) and Bergmann's (larger body size in colder environments) hypotheses. …”
