In Ecuador. The Amazon broad-headed wood lizard has at least sixteen close relatives, most of them found in Amazonian rainforests, such as Red-eyed Dwarf-Iguana (Enyalioides oshaughnessyi), Blue-spotted Dwarf-Iguana (Enyalioides praestabilis), Red-throated Dwarf-Iguana (Enyalioides rubrigularis), Blue-throated Dwarf-Iguana (Enyalioides microlepis), and Spiny Dwarf-Iguana (Enyalioides heterolepis).
Throat color in side-blotched lizards is genetically determined, and has high heritability. [2] It is determined by a single Mendelian factor with three alleles. In males, the o allele is the dominant allele, and the b allele is recessive to the y allele. Therefore, phenotypically orange-throated males have genotypes of either oo, ob, or oy.
Hoplocercidae are a family of lizards native to the tropical forests, woodlands and savanna-like habitats of Central and South America. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Alternatively they are recognized as a subfamily, Hoplocercinae. 20 species in two genera are described.
Some of the variants include multi-coloured, grey, yellow, orange, blue, and red-throated lizards. [11] This variation comes from the diverse geographic locations in which C. decresii can be found, such as South Australia , New South Wales , and other areas throughout Australia. [ 11 ]
