Editing Urosaurus (section)

==Description==
[[Species]] in the genus ''Urosaurus'' can be distinguished from members of the genus ''[[Sceloporus]]'' by the presence of a gular (under neck) fold and granular lateral scales.  They can be distinguished from members of the genus ''[[Side-blotched lizard|Uta]]'' by the presence of enlarged (sometimes only slightly) [[Dorsum (anatomy)|dorsal]] [[scale (zoology)|scales]].{{citation needed|date=January 2015}} Some species of ''Urosaurus ([[Urosaurus ornatus]])'' appear to be polymorphic for throat color, but it does vary in different populations. In male lizards, these colors can range anywhere from orange, yellow, green, or turquoise, and in females the color can be either orange or yellow.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Hover |first=Edward L. |date=1985 |title=Differences in Aggressive Behavior between Two Throat Color Morphs in a Lizard, Urosaurus ornatus |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/1445244 |journal=Copeia |volume=1985 |issue=4 |pages=933–940 |doi=10.2307/1445244 |jstor=1445244 |issn=0045-8511|url-access=subscription }}</ref> Throat color in males is also appears to be associated with certain mating behaviors including aggression, boldness, submission, and cautiousness.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Feldman |first1=Chris R. |last2=Flores-Villela |first2=Oscar |last3=Papenfuss |first3=Theodore J. |date=2011-12-01 |title=Phylogeny, biogeography, and display evolution in the tree and brush lizard genus Urosaurus (Squamata: Phrynosomatidae) |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1055790311003526 |journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution |volume=61 |issue=3 |pages=714–725 |doi=10.1016/j.ympev.2011.08.008 |pmid=21871967 |issn=1055-7903|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
