Journal ArticleDOI

The role of behaviour in the establishment of novel traits

TL;DR: Behaviours that are particularly likely to foster novel traits include those that play a role in life history, such as antipredator behaviour, sexual signalling and foraging, and genetic or physiological mechanisms behind a behaviour can influence its establishment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence of maternal effects on temperature preference in side-blotched lizards: implications for evolutionary response to climate change

TL;DR: Maternal Tp and the presence or absence of blue throat color alleles significantly influenced Tp of hatchlings and the ecological and evolutionary consequences of these maternal effects are discussed in the context of rapid climate change and natural selection that is measured on progeny survival to maturity as a function of maternal Tp.
Journal ArticleDOI

Male aggression varies with throat color in 2 distinct populations of the mesquite lizard

TL;DR: Although the tendency for discrete color variation to signal alternative reproductive tactics is phylogenetically widespread, both the color signals and the behaviors associated with them may change rapidly over evolutionary time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Female preference for sympatric vs. allopatric male throat color morphs in the mesquite lizard (Sceloporus grammicus) species complex.

TL;DR: It is found that female rejection of allopatric males relative to sympatric male was more pronounced when males in a pair were more different in throat color, which may help illuminate how behavioral responses to color morph differences between populations with polymorphic sexual signals contribute to reproductive isolation.
