Abstract

Although Anolis lizards have been well studied and are known to frequently exhibit sexual dimorphism, little is still known about the ecology and evolution of females as opposed to males. Westeen et al. (2025) find sexual dimorphism in dewlap color is likely not just driven by sexual selection, but by unique selection pressures acting on female anoles. This research raises new questions for achieving a more complete understanding of this popular model system.

摘要：雌蜥腋窝的两性二态性和选择迹象。

尽管蜥蜴已经被很好地研究过，并且经常表现出两性二态性，但对于雌性与雄性相对的生态学和进化，我们所知甚少。Westeen等人（2025）发现，毛毛颜色的性别二态性可能不仅仅是由性选择驱动的，而是由作用于雌性蜥蜴的独特选择压力驱动的。这项研究提出了新的问题，以实现对这个流行的模型系统的更全面的理解。
