Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed examination of the Andean lizard genus Stenocercus, an integral part of the reptile fauna of the Andes. The author meticulously analyzes the morphological and ecological diversity of these lizards, integrating ecological and morphological data in a quantitative analysis of evolutionary trends within the genus. Through multivariate analyses, the author demonstrates correlations between morphological characteristics and ecological variables, suggesting adaptive shifts in morphology as the lizards evolved to occupy different habitats. The author also explores niche theory and evolutionary concepts, particularly in relation to sympatric species pairs, providing insights into ecological specialization and resource partitioning. The book concludes with a discussion of the broader implications of the study's findings on our understanding of evolutionary processes and niche theory in structuring ecological communities.
