Cope's arboreal alligator lizard is not currently under protection for conservation or restoration efforts. Cope's arboreal alligator lizard Cope's arboreal alligator lizard ("Abronia aurita") is a species of lizard found in two isolated locations in Guatemala, one in the Alta Verapaz Department and one in the Jalapa Department. These lizard are found only in high altitudes of 2,000 to 2,600 feet above sea level, on the west and south sides of the mountain ranges. This lizard is one of 28 species of alligator lizards, most being arboreal, meaning they live in trees. These omnivores are considered endangered because of their small population size and
Sexual dimorphism in non-human primates to the likelihood of higher vulnerability to predators. Another hypothesis suggests that arboreal primates have limitations on their upper body size, given that larger body size could disrupt their usage of terminal branches for locomotion. However, among some species of guenons ("Cercopithecus"), arboreal blue monkeys ("C. mitis") appear to be more sexually dimorphic than terrestrial vervet monkeys ("C. aethiops"). It has been hypothesized that niche divergence between the sexes attributes to the evolution of size dimorphism in primates. Males and females are known to have different preferences for ecological habitat due to different reproductive activities, which could possibly lead to
