Body size frequency distribution <strong>of</strong> isl<strong>and</strong>-endemic <strong>lizard</strong>s<br />
Body size is snout vent length (SVL) in (log 10) mm.<br />
a. <strong>body</strong> size frequency distribution on isl<strong>and</strong>s lacking mammalian Carnivora (or<br />
isl<strong>and</strong>s that lacked such species until these were introduced in historical times)<br />
b. <strong>body</strong> size frequency distribution on isl<strong>and</strong>s with native mammalian Carnivora<br />
Data for <strong>lizard</strong> insularity are from an unpublished manuscript. Data for presence or<br />
absence <strong>of</strong> mammalian carnivores on isl<strong>and</strong>s are from :<br />
