title: Data from: Widespread parallel population adaptation to climate variation across a radiation: implications for adaptation to climate change.

description: Global warming will impact species in a number of ways, and it is
 important to know the extent to which natural populations can adapt to
 anthropogenic climate change by natural selection. Parallel microevolution
 within separate species can demonstrate natural selection, but several
 studies of homoplasy have not yet revealed examples of widespread parallel
 evolution in a generic radiation. Taking into account primary
 phylogeographic divisions, we investigate numerous quantitative traits
 (size, shape, scalation, colour pattern and hue) in anole radiations from
 the mountainous Lesser Antillean islands. Adaptation to climatic
 differences can lead to very pronounced differences between spatially
 close populations with all studied traits showing some evidence of
 parallel evolution. Traits from shape, scalation, pattern and hue
 (particularly the latter) show widespread evolutionary parallels within
 these species in response to altitudinal climate variation greater than
 extreme anthropogenic climate change predicted for 2080. This gives strong
 evidence of the ability to adapt to climate variation by natural selection
 throughout this radiation. As anoles can evolve very rapidly, it suggests
 anthropogenic climate change is likely to be less of a conservation threat
 than other factors, such as habitat loss and invasive species, in this,
 Lesser Antillean, biodiversity hot spot.
