From fog. 6.10, the information we can derive is the total no. of colonization events that happened across all islands and the number of colonization events that occurred in between neighboring islands.
From the figure,
Total no. of colonization events = 45
Total no. of colonization events that occurred between neighboring islands = 38
Thus, % of colonization events to occur between neighboring islands = 38/45 * 100 = 84.44%

Question 10: Anolis lizards are a genus of closely-related lizards that have evolved into many different morphs on various Caribbean islands and surrounding mainlands. Harvard scientist Jonathan Losos has classified these morphs into 6 types that specialize on and appear to be adapted to different microhabitats organized along vertical space. For example, "twig" (specializing on twigs) lizards have short legs with a slender body, whereas "trunk-ground" lizards have long hind legs with stockier bodies. Interestingly, similar patterns of morph diversification...
