Niche Structure of an Anole Community in a Tropical Rain Forest within the Choco Region of Colombia (open access)

Niche Structure of an Anole Community in a Tropical Rain Forest within the Choco Region of Colombia

Ten species of anoles at Bajo Calima within the Choco of Western Colombia separate into two principal microhabitat groups: forest species, and those inhabiting openings and edges. The ten anoles further separate according to ground and vegetation dwellers. There is a relation at Bajo Calima between the number of anole species and vegetational structural diversity. Anole diversity within a given macrohabitat is by perch microsite/microclimate heterogeneity. These are the two major ecological dimensions along which similarity is limited or resources are partitioned.
