Answer; Temperature Optimum

Explanation:

Lizards like most reptiles are ectothermic, ectothermy is the reliance on external heat source to increase body temperatures. thus lizard gains heat principally from their environment. to achieve optimum body temperature lizard perform different thermoregulatory behavior. thermo regulation is a well documented aspect of reptile biology.

The use of thermo regulation to achive and maintain optimum body temperature has contributed to the great diversity of lizards and even allowed colonization of temperate regions.

many phylogenetic trees have a single lineage at the base representing a common ancestor. a lineage that evolved early from the root and remains unbranched is called basal taxon. when two lineages stem from the same branch point, they are called sister taxa.
