Alabama fence lizards, compared to those in Arkansas, show heightened responses to
red fire ants. They twitch more frequently (2.75 (Alabama lizard) vs. 1.1 (Arkansas
lizard), react faster when escaping, and have longer hind limbs, all adaptations that help
them evade predators more effectively. These differences highlight how Alabama
lizards have adapted to cope with the increased threat posed by red fire ants.
