Abbreviations as follows: Community: C = Cuba, H = Hispaniola, J = Jamaica, and PR = Puerto Rico; Ecomorph:, CG = crown-giant, GB = grass-bush, TC = trunk-crown, TG = trunk-ground, TR = trunk, TW = twig; and U = unique. Dewlap size data comes from [16]. Species polymorphic for pattern (e.g., basal/solid/marginal) are indicated in the next to last column and the corresponding colors exhibited by each pattern for each species is indicated in the far right column. Polymorphism in color is similarly indicated (e.g., may have a solid pattern only but may vary in coloration, red/yellow/orange).
