Horn size predicts physical performance in the beetle Euoniticellus intermedius (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) (2005, background): “In a study of Caribbean Anolis lizards, Vanhooydonck et al . (2005) found that the size of the anole dewlap (i.e.”
A functional approach to sexual selection (2007, background): “Work with Anolis lizards shows that lizards with enlarged throat fans (dewlaps) tend also to exhibit high bite forces, a crucial trait for polygynous lizards that often bite one another during male encounters (Vanhooydonck et al. 2005a, 2005b).”
Bite force in vertebrates: opportunities and caveats for use of a nonpareil whole-animal performance measure (2008, background): “Does dewlap size predict male bite force in Jamaican Anolis lizards?”
A functional perspective on sexual selection: insights and future prospects (2006, background): “For example, residual bite force is positively related to the residual size of the dewlap (a male secondary sexual character displayed in several social contexts, including maleemale interactions) in several species of Anolis lizards (Vanhooydonck et al. 2005a, b).”
