Peculiar relationships among morphology, burrowing performance and sand type in two fossorial microteiid lizards

•Patterns of phenotypic variation do not perfectly match optimization predictions of Ecomorphology.•We tested burrowing performance of two Calyptommatus lizards in different soil types.•In Calyptommatus lizards, expected associations among morphology-performance-habitat only emerge at the soil type...
