Whereas enlarged body size has been traditionally put forward as a major biological factor facilitating herbivory and frugivory in lizards (see Schoener et al. 1982; Van Damme 1999; Cooper and Vitt 2002), a recent review of frugivory and seed dispersal by lizards suggested that frugivory should be considered an island phenomenon, independent of the effects of body size (Olesen and Valido 2003).
