Clutch Frequency

NAVIGATION INSTRUCTIONS

---

This plot shows the lizard species in a hypervolume reduced to three main dimensions through a PCA, coding clutch frequency with different symbol colors.

The combination of Clutch Size and Clutch Frequency is an indication of life history strategies in lizards. Some species have small clutches, and low clucth frequency like some species of Gekkota and Gymnophthalmidae, while some Anoles have also small clutches but high clutch frequency.
