Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple paths to aquatic specialisation in four species of Central American Anolis lizards
Martha M. Muñoz,Kristen E. Crandell,Shane C. Campbell-Staton,Kristi Fenstermacher,Hannah K. Frank,Paul Van Middlesworth,Mahmood Sasa,Jonathan B. Losos,Anthony Herrel +8 more
TL;DR: Overall, it is found that aquatic anoles overlap in multiple ecological and morphological dimensions, however, there are some differences in substrate use, claw and limb morphology, and bite force that distinguish Anolis aquaticus from the other three species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat selection by the Puerto Rican yellow-chinned anole, Anolis gundlachi
TL;DR: The findings indicate that the nonrandom habitat use of free-ranging A. gundlachi leads to the selection of perching substrates that may increase performance of ecologically relevant capabilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implications of Food Web Interactions for Restoration of Missouri Ozark Glade Habitats
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that future glade restoration efforts might benefit from considering top-down effects of predators in facilitating native plant establishment by reducing grasshopper abundance and damage on native plants near structures with lizards.
Journal ArticleDOI
Notes on the Natural History of the Little-Known Ecuadorian Horned Anole, Anolis proboscis
Jonathan B. Losos,Melissa L. Woolley,D. Luke Mahler,D. Luke Mahler,Omar Torres-Carvajal,Kristen E. Crandell,Eric W. Schaad,Andrea E. Narváez,Fernando Ayala-Varela,Anthony Herrel +9 more
TL;DR: An ecological and behavioral study of the horned anole of Ecuador found the horn in life to be soft and highly flexible and thus unsuitable for use as a weapon in male–male combat; hence, the horn most likely serves as a signal and may be involved in mate choice or territorial displays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery of a Giant Chameleon-Like Lizard (Anolis) on Hispaniola and Its Significance to Understanding Replicated Adaptive Radiations
D. Luke Mahler,Shea M. Lambert,Anthony J. Geneva,Julienne Ng,S. Blair Hedges,Jonathan B. Losos,Richard E. Glor +6 more
TL;DR: A new chameleon-like Anolis species from Hispaniola that is ecomorphologically similar to congeners found only on Cuba is reported that supports the hypothesis that the assembly of island faunas can be substantially deterministic and highlights the continued potential for basic discovery to reveal new insights in well-studied groups.
