Ecological correlates of colour pattern polymorphism along the transition zone between two morphs of the common wall lizard, Podarcis muralis

Figures & data

Figure 1 Distribution of observations of lizards by colour morph in the three habitat types. White bar: nigriventris type; black bar: brueggemanni type; grey bar: intermediate type.

Table I. Colour morph categories, sex, habitat type, and frequency of occurrence of intact/regenerated tails in Podarcis muralis from the study area. Numbers indicate individuals examined for each column category. Numbers in parentheses indicate individuals with broken/regenerated tail.
