Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative tests of the role of dewlap size in Anolis lizard speciation.
Travis Ingram,Alexis Harrison,D. Luke Mahler,María del Rosario Castañeda,Richard E. Glor,Anthony Herrel,Yoel E. Stuart,Jonathan B. Losos +7 more
TL;DR: A signal of mixed speciational and gradual trait evolution is found in the dewlaps of mainland lineages, indicating that dewlap size diversifies in association with the speciation process, suggesting that divergent selection may play a role in the macroevolution of this signalling trait.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diet and reproductive biology of the Australian sand-swimming lizards, Eremiascincus (Scincidae)
Craig James,Jonathan B. Losos +1 more
TL;DR: The diets, morphology and reproductive biology of two little-known sand-swimming skinks, Eremiascincus fasciolatus and E. richardsoni, were compared by using preserved museum specimens and there were no significant differences in the taxonomic composition of the diets between species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Archipelagic genetics in a widespread Caribbean anole
R. Graham Reynolds,Tanner R. Strickland,Jason J. Kolbe,Bryan G. Falk,Gad Perry,Liam J. Revell,Jonathan B. Losos +6 more
TL;DR: Limited evidence is found that periods of island isolation affected patterns of genetic diversity and differentiation in A. cristatellus in the Virgin Islands archipelago, suggesting spatial population expansion during intraglacial periods of low sea level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postures of the Military Dragon (Ctenophorus isolepis) in Relation to Substrate Temperature
Journal ArticleDOI
What free-ranging animals do at the zoo: a study of the behavior and habitat use of opossums (Didelphis virginiana) on the grounds of the St. Louis Zoo
TL;DR: It is found that urban opossums in the St. Louis zoo have smaller home ranges and move shorter distances than their rural counterparts, and it is suspected that conditions are even more favorable to opossum in a zoological setting than in cities in general.
