Convergent Evolution of Lizards — HHMI BioInteractive Video

Species of anole lizards with similar body types and adaptations have evolved again and again on each of the four larger Caribbean islands: Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Cuba, and Hispaniola. Hear Harvard University biologist Jonathan Losos describe this compelling example of convergent evolution. This classroom-ready video is perfect for science students learning about evolution and the effects of changing habitats.
