| Uncharacteristically for most squamates, the Eastern fence lizard exhibits a Bergmann size cline over its geographic range. |
| Some squamates, like iguanas, rely heavily on vision to locate food, and use their pliable tongues to grab it. |
| By comparison to other squamates, this morphology indicates skeletal paedomorphosis that is common in secondarily marine reptiles. |
| There is no indication of any special differentiation of the fifth metatarsal, which is hooked in other squamates. |
| They are found in mammals, turtles, squamates, and crocodilians, as well as a few bird taxa, particularly ratites and ducks. |
| I modified behavioral experiments from previous studies of chemoreceptive behavior in squamates. |
