Evaluation of the effectiveness of cryptic coloration of the Carolina anole’s skin
Regulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems, 2019 Cryptic coloration of animals’ integument is one of the effective adaptations that allow them to lead an active lifestyle while being protected from natural enemies due to visual disguise.

Evolution of Anolis lizard dewlap diversity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 BACKGROUND:The dewlaps of Anolis lizards provide a classic example of a complex signaling system whose function and evolution is poorly understood. Dewlaps are flaps of skin beneath the chin that are extended and combined with head and body movements for

Robust information from phylogenetic trees? [PDF]
, 2010 Traditional information criteria approaches can lead to misleading model choice in comparative phylogenetics. I present both these weaknesses and a more robust comparison by likelihood ratio.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The green iguana (Iguana iguana) is an iguanine lizard with herbivorous and arboreal habits, whose distribution spans through South America, Central America to the south of North America. Although the genus Iguana is well‐known, the species still lacks a comprehensive and up‐to‐date anatomical study, particularly addressing the axial skeleton,

The existence and evolution of morphotypes in Anolis lizards: coexistence patterns, not adaptive radiations, distinguish mainland and island faunas [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 The evolution of distinct ecologies and correlated morphologies (“ecomorphs,” in combination) among similar species allows sympatric occupation of diverse microhabitats.

The island–mainland species turnover relationship [PDF]
, 2012 Many oceanic islands are notable for their high endemism, suggesting that islands may promote unique assembly processes. However, mainland assemblages sometimes harbour comparable levels of endemism, suggesting that island biotas may not be as unique as ...

Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.
