What drives variation in habitat use by Anolis lizards: habitat availability or selectivity?
TL;DR: Habit use of two sympatric species of Anolis lizards that are morphologically specialized to use different microhabitats is investigated, finding that species consistently differed inmicrohabitat use, corresponding to each species' morphological specializations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary assembly of island faunas reverses the classic island–mainland richness difference in Anolis lizards
Adam C. Algar,Jonathan B. Losos +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that evolutionary assembly of island faunas can reverse the general pattern of reduced species richness on islands relative to mainlands, as well as evaluating the role of climate in the observed differences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proximate determinants of bite force in Anolis lizards.
TL;DR: The results show that the traits that explain bite force are similar in both males and females with overall body size and muscle mass being the principal determinants, with selection on morphology improving bite force stronger in males.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This report proposes a standardized evolutionary characterization code that will help researchers to define gene orthology and paralogy with tetrapod homologs, provide a system for naming novel genes in Anolis and other reptiles, and furnish abbreviations to facilitate comparative studies among the Anolis species and related iguanid squamates.
