Fig. 6. Overhead and lateral views and tail and body orientation of Anolis lineatopus (A,D), A. grahami (B,E) and A. valencienni (C,F) during (from top to bottom) take-off, mid-jump, landing and post landing on the 90° turning angle. The value to the left of each video image is the elapsed time (in ms); 0 ms indicates the time of take-off. The two white dots on the lizards indicate the midpoints of the pectoral (anterior dot) and pelvic (posterior dot) girdles. The line parallel to the long axis of the pipe on the top of the perch in the dorsal view represents the top of the perch. Note that all three species land on the inner side of the perch. Although the original overhead video images were inverted because they were obtained via a mirror, for the sake of clarity in these figures we edited the overhead view so that it resembled a simple dorsal view. The orientations of the perches prior to and after the turn are –45° and 45°, respectively. The downward-pointing arrows in D–F indicate the time of landing.
