Previous studies have found a positive relationship between body size and perch height in Anolis lizards. We measured these variables in adjacent forested and anthropogenic habitats. Longer-legged anoles perched higher in the forest but lower in the anthropogenic habitat (cabins, lawn, and sparse vegetation). We propose that longer legs are better suited for maneuvering upward in the structurally complex forest habitat but less suitable for utilizing the highest perches on building walls in anthropogenic areas.
