Species that belong to the same ecomorph group are similar in appearance and occupy similar habitats. this suggests that species living in similar habitats evolved similar traits-in other words, the traits are adaptations. what observation supports this conclusion

anole species living high in the canopy have larger toepads and can cling to smooth leaves better than species found on tree trunks and on the ground (T/F)

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The term ecomorph is used to define a group of species that live in the same structural niche, are morphologically similar and have similar behavior, but are not necessarily close phyletically. This means that a anole can be in different parts of the world where the habitat or niche is similar to all of them but the anole will adapt to specific conditions of the place. That is is why the anoles that live in the canopy have larger toe pads and can cling to smooth leaves better than other species that live on the ground.
