variation arises and is maintained in natural populations. Color polymorphism, or the presence of two or more discrete, genetically determined phenotypes within a population, offer an ideal natural system to study evolutionary processes involved in maintaining
genetic variation and the consequences of when it is lost. To understand the causes and consequences of color polymorphism, my dissertation investigates the evolutionary history of the trait and role of different evolutionary forces at multiple scales from
a speciose family of color polymorphic lizards, to geographic variation in color polymorphism across an entire species distribution, to different chemical and communication signals among color morphs in a single population.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
