These were measured to 16 different lengths and angles using software. <em>Archaius tigris, Bradypodion damaranum, Calumma gallus, Calumma parsonii parsonii, Chamaeleo zeylanicus, Furcifer balteatus, Kinyongia matschiei, Kinyongia tavetana, Nadzikambia mlanjense<\/em> and <em>Trioceros quadricornis gracilior<\/em> were assigned to tree dwellers. <em>Brookesia brygooi, Chamaeleo namaquensis, Palleon nasus nasus, Rhampholeon temporalis<\/em> and <em>Rieppeleon brachyurus<\/em> were attributed to ground-dwelling species. The species <em>Bradypodion occidentale, Brookesia ebenaui, Chamaeleo anchietae, Furcifer campani, Rhampholeon spinosus, Rieppeleon kerstenii kerstenii<\/em> and <em>Trioceros goetzei goetzei<\/em> were classified as semiarboreal. Mainly males were examined.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As expected, the evaluation showed that tree-dwelling chameleons had narrower, shorter girdles than ground-dwelling ones. The narrower pelvic girdle makes it easier to hide behind branches and flatten the body to the maximum. It also ensures that the body&#8217;s centre of gravity is closer to the branch and thus increases stability when climbing. Ground-dwelling chameleons, on the other hand, had larger and wider pelvic girdles. These allow them to step more quickly and provide greater stability when walking on ground surfaces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How phylogeny and arboreality affect pelvic girdle anatomy of chameleons <\/strong><br \/>\nDakota J.
