Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of perch diameter on escape behaviour ofAnolis lizards: laboratory predictions and field tests
TL;DR: It was predicted that species in which running ability declines greatly as diameter decreases should switch to escape by jumping more often than species that experience less of a decline in running ability, but this prediction was not confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Island biogeography of the Anthropocene
TL;DR: As anole colonizations have increased, islands impoverished in native species have gained the most exotic species, the past influence of speciation on island biogeography has been obscured, and the species–area relationship has strengthened while the species-isolation relationship has weakened.
Journal ArticleDOI
Convergence and the multidimensional niche
TL;DR: Patterns of convergent and divergent evolution of Caribbean Anolis lizards suggest that the habitat specialist niches into which these anoles have evolved are multidimensional, involving several distinct and independent aspects of morphology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological character displacement and the study of adaptation
TL;DR: A growing number of studies that have used integrative, multidisciplinary approaches and have demonstrated that ecological character displacement appears to be an important ecological and evolutionary phenomenon are being demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of a catastrophic hurricane on Island populations
TL;DR: Lizard and spider populations were censused immediately before and after Hurricane Lili on islands differentially affected by the storm surge to support three general propositions: the larger organisms, lizards, are more resistant to the immediate impact of moderate disturbance, whereas the more prolific spiders recover faster.
