Ecological character displacement between a native and an introduced species: the invasion of Anolis cristatellus in Dominica
TL;DR: This article studied the invasion of the lizard Anolis cristatellus in Dominica, where the native Anolis oculatus occurs, and compared nine allopatric and 11 sympatric populations at two scales: across the island and in the northeastern region (Calibishie), where the species arrived in 2014.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does ecological specialization transcend scale? Habitat partitioning among individuals and species of Anolis lizards.
Ambika Kamath,Jonathan B. Losos +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that while patterns of ecological specialization can transcend scale, these parallels are the consequence of distinct ecological processes acting at microev evolutionary and macroevolutionary scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semicircular canals in Anolis lizards: ecomorphological convergence and ecomorph affinities of fossil species
TL;DR: Using posterior probabilities, it is found that the fossil anoles have different semicircular canals shapes to modern ecomorph groupings implying extinct anoles may have been interacting with their Miocene environment in different ways to modern Anolis species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Left-right dewlap asymmetry and phylogeography of Anolis lineatus on Aruba and Curaçao
Gabriel E. A. Gartner,Tony Gamble,Tony Gamble,Alexander L. Jaffe,Alexis Harrison,Jonathan B. Losos +5 more
TL;DR: Anolis lizards exhibit a remarkable degree of diversity in the shape, colour, pattern and size of their dewlaps as discussed by the authors, which has been reported in one species, Anolis lineatus, and then on only one of the two islands from which it occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predators determine how weather affects the spatial niche of lizard prey: exploring niche dynamics at a fine scale.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that one of the main axes characterizing the spatial niche of a common lizard, Anolis sagrei, varies according to the interactive effects of weather and the activity of a larger predatory lizard, Leiocephalus carinatus.
