This plot shows the lizard species in a hypervolume reduced to three main dimensions through a PCA, coding the region of origin for each species with different symbol colors.

Species from Africa, Australia, North America and South America are represented in our study. Almost every space in the hypervolume (combination of ecological traits) has representatives from the differerent regions.
