  Tropidurus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The distribution of these lizards and their variations in shape, colour and behaviour show the phenomenon of adaptive radiation so typical of the inhabitants of this archipelago.
Other Tropidurus species are found on the South American mainland, especially in the Amazon Rainforest.
Males and females of all Tropidurus species are markedly different.

 Brazilian Journal of Biology - Sintopy of two Tropidurus lizard species (Squamata: Tropiduridae) in a rocky Cerrado ...   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Considering the slight ecomorphological divergence between the two Tropidurus species and their high abundance in outcrops, we suggest that interspecific territoriality is the mechanism of coexistence.
The genus Tropidurus is widely distributed in Brazil, with species in the Amazon Forest, Cerrado, Caatinga (including "Canga" — open vegetation on iron rocks), and Atlantic forest (including "Restinga" vegetation — coastal sand dunes) (Araujo, 1987, 1991; Rodrigues, 1987; Rocha and Bergallo, 1990; Vitt and Caldwell, 1993).
Tropidurus are very abundant diurnal lizards, with species occurring anywhere from open formations to forested habitats (Frost, 1992; Harvey and Gutberlet, 2000; Frost et al., 2001).

 Department of Biology:
To test the generality of this relationship in lizards, snout-vent, tail, and limb lengths of 18 species of Tropidurus (Tropiduridae) were measured, and comparisons made between body proportions and substrate usage.
These three species constitute a single subclade within the overall Tropidurus phylogeny, and analyses with independent contrasts indicate that divergence in relative tail and hind limb length has been rapid since they split from their sister clade.
Being restricted to a single subclade, the difference in body proportions could logically be interpreted as either an adaptation to the clade's lifestyle or simply a non-adaptive synapomorphy for this lineage.

Seven species of lava lizards (all in the genus Tropidurus) are described from the islands and each of the central islands are inhabited by a species.
Lava lizards are absent from the northern outer islands, Tower, Darwin and Wolf.
The ancestral species would have come from South America from where some 25 species are known (although this group's taxonomy is presently in flux, see Lizards of the World - Tropidurus).

From this, it has inherited numerous variations on its name: thorny-tail, beaver-tail or shovel-tail lizard.
During breeding season, males become more territorial and display with bobbing head and body movements to advertise their presence.
This motion, found among many similar species of Tropidurus serves to inform prospective mates and rivals of the lizard's condition.
