TL;DR: Examination of the position of species in multidimensional space indicates that the morphological diversity of Anolis, which the authors refer to as disparity, is significantly greater than that of Sceloporus, and one potential explanation for this pattern is that morphological diversification in Anolis was facilitated by the evolution of subdigital toe‐pads, which allow anoles to use the environment in ways not available to S celoporus.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the timing of a hurricane as it coincides with reproductive scheduling or other phenological aspects may determine the magnitude of its effect on a variety of organisms.

TL;DR: Comparisons among vertebrate model systems and in situ hybridization analysis of somite-stage embryos yield novel insights into features of the segmentation clock that are evolutionarily basal to amniotes versus those that are specific to mammals, Lepidosaurian reptiles, or Archosaurusian reptiles.

TL;DR: Foraging success is linked to search behavior, which profoundly influences the variety and number of prey encountered (Pianka, 1966, 1973; Pietruszka, 1986). The ability to find prey therefore affects food intake and ultimately an individual's energy budget as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Either hind-limb plasticity is widespread within the genus Anolis or that it has evolved independently at least twice, as suggested by the finding that hatchlings exposed to only broad substrates developed relatively longer hind limbs for their body size compared to hatchlings expose to only narrow substrates.
