Comparative tests of the role of dewlap size in Anolis lizard speciation.

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)

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

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

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.
