Anoles Going Strong on Hispaniola Millions of Years Later
The lizards have evolved to take on the body type suited to what part of trees they have come to inhabit."When they analyzed the body forms of the fossil anoles, they found the same categories that exist now. Dr. Losos said there was a great amount of discussion in evolutionary biology about whether ecological communities stay stable for long periods. It may not happen often, he said, but “our study does show that the same set of types of species can remain very static for long periods of time.”"
The niches are stable thus the occupants are stable.
There has been no evolutionary pressure for change.
