“…In recent years, however, a growing number of studies have explored how different aspects of urbanization affect lizard's biology (e.g., Kent et al, ) and one of the best studied groups is the New World Anolis lizards. For instance, urbanization causes extreme structural habitat changes that affect locomotor performance and drive shifts in limb morphology and body size in some Anolis species (Battles, Irschick, & Kolbe, ; Kolbe, Battles, & Avilés‐Rodríguez, ; Marnocha, Pollinger, & Smith, ; Winchell, Maayan, Fredette, & Revell, ; Winchell, Reynolds, Prado‐Irwin, Puente‐Rolón, & Revell, ), which might favor niche expansion (Battles, Moniz, & Kolbe, ). The urban environment also tends be hotter, with wider variation in temperature that could affect development, survival, and persistence of Anolis in cities (e.g., Battles & Kolbe, ; Hall & Warner, ; Tiatragul, Hall, Pavlik, & Warner, ).…”
