Abstract

Many species of lizards that live in the same population can show different colors in the same region of the body. In biology, this phenomenon is known as coloration polymorphism, a phenomenon that, although not very common in nature, is not that rare either. In this review, some processes that contribute to the maintenance and evolution of color polymorphism are described; as well as some of the most representative studies carried out with different species of lizards.
