Abstract

We studied 2 populations of Sceloporus ochoteranae to determine if there were differences in body size, sexual dimorphism, and clutch size. Males were larger and had larger heads than females. Sceloporus ochoteranae from the Cañón del Zopilote (elevation 600 m) were smaller, had narrower heads and longer femurs, and had smaller clutches than those from Acatlan (elevation 1,250 m).
