Lizards On Islands

Posted on June 24, 2011 by Yoel Stuart

Turns out that there are lizards out there besides anoles evolving on islands. Check out this award winning film from Nathan Dappen. The film took first place in the first annual NESCent Evolution Film contest. 11 films were screened and voted on by attendees at the Evolution 2011 meeting in Norman, OK.
