Interspecific and intraspecific competitions are effectively reduced in populations of Anoline lizards through the use of niche separation. While much research has been done on this phenomenon, not much research addresses what happens to niche structure in the absence of a species. This project studies the effects of the absence of Norops humilis on the structural habitat preferences of N. tropidolepis in an area of cloud forest in Monteverde, Costa Rica. Between the 25th of October and the 14th of November 2003, an area of cloud forest above the Estación Biológica de Monteverde was searched thoroughly for Norops (Zones 3 and 4, above 1470m in elevation). When a lizard was found, perch height and diameter were measured. These results were t...
