Relatively longer hind limbs in the lowland population. |

Countergradient variation in body size: the genotypes that presumably
control the key adaptations of the lowland population (larger eggs and
hatchlings, and faster growing juveniles) occur in a low-productivity
environment in which lizards grow more slowly and reach a smaller adult
size.

More and relatively larger femoral pores in males from the lowland
population. |
Iraeta et al. 2011 |
Greater development of the sexual coloration of the head (i.e. larger
colored surface) in males from the lowland population.

Increased saturation of the sexual coloration of the head in males from
the montane population. |
Llanos-Garrido et al. 2017 |
Males respond to the activation of the immune system by reducing the
extent of the sexual coloration of the head in the lowland population,
and its saturation in the montane population. |

Higher rates of infestation by tick nymphs in the montane population (no
ticks in the lowland population). |
