Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of dorsal pattern variation in Greater Antillean Anolis lizards
TL;DR: It is suggested that habitat-use differences between sexes in ground-affiliated ecomorphs may drive the evolution of dorsal pattern dimorphism, and niche-associated diversification can generate phenotypic diversity within as well as among species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent biological invasion shapes species recognition and aggressive behaviour in a native species: A behavioural experiment using robots in the field.
TL;DR: The results show that species recognition evolved prior to sympatry in A. oculatus, and interspecific competition resulted in an increase in the time spent displaying and a divergence in the aggressive behavior of the native species toward conspecifics vs. heterospespecifics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Head Size of Male and Female Lizards Increases with Population Density Across Island Populations in the Bahamas
Johanna E. Wegener,Kevin P. Mulder,Kevin P. Mulder,Robert M. Pringle,Jonathan B. Losos,Jason J. Kolbe +5 more
TL;DR: Size-adjusted head length of male and female lizards increased with population density, suggesting that larger heads might be advantageous when intraspecific competition is strong, and differences in morphology and injury frequency among islands for both males and females are detected, which suggests that agonistic competitive interactions among females may be stronger than previously appreciated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Museums' Role: Increasing Knowledge
Gregory C. Mayer,Jerry A. Coyne,Jonathan B. Losos,Johannes Foufopoulos,Neil H. Shubin,Douglas J. Futuyma,Benjamin C. Campbell,Scott V. Edwards +7 more
TL;DR: It is read with deep concern of plans to drastically reduce the role of scientific research at one of the world's greatest museums of natural history, Chicago's Field Museum, and urged the Museum's authorities and supporters to find a way to prevent such a calamity.
