“…In lizards, male morphs differ in several traits including behaviour (Stephenson, ; Taylor & Lattanzio, ; Yewers, Pryke, & Stuart‐Fox, ), morphology (Huyghe, Vanhooydonck, Herrel, Tadic, & Van Damme, ; Stephenson, ), territory (Zamudio & Sinervo, ), parasitic load (Megía‐Palma et al., ) and physiology (LaDage, Riggs, Sinervo, & Pravosudov, ; Stephenson, ). However, different comparisons among morphs did not reveal any significant difference including morphometry (Meyers, Irschick, Vanhooydonck, & Herrel, ; Sacchi et al., ; Yewers, Jessop, & Stuart‐Fox, ), total of number of offspring and their survivorship (Zamudio & Sinervo, ), performance (Huyghe et al., ; Meyers et al., ), behaviour, microhabitat use, thermoregulation (Huyghe et al., ) and/or spermatogenic output (this study). Currently, we lack relevant data concerning lateral coloration in S .…”
