Data from: Discovery of a giant chameleon-like lizard (Anolis) on Hispaniola and its significance to understanding replicated adaptive radiations

We report a new chameleon-like Anolis species from Hispaniola that is
ecomorphologically similar to congeners found only on Cuba. Lizards from
both clades possess short limbs and a short tail and utilize relatively
narrow perches, leading us to recognize a novel example of
ecomorphological matching among islands in the well-known Greater
Antillean anole radiation. This discovery supports the hypothesis that the
assembly of island faunas can be substantially deterministic and
highlights the continued potential for basic discovery to reveal new
insights in well-studied groups. Restricted to a threatened band of
midelevation transitional forest near the border of the Dominican Republic
and Haiti, this new species appears to be highly endangered.
