Climatic niche attributes and diversification in Anolis lizards [PDF]

, 2016
Aim The aim of this study was to test the link between climatic niche dynamics and species diversification in Anolis on islands and on the mainland. We tested the hypotheses that lineages in warmer climates and with narrow climate niches diversified ...

Enrichment of Neural Crest Cells by Antibody Labeling and Flow Cytometry for Single‐Cell Transcriptomics in a Lizard

Evolution &Development, Volume 28, Issue 1, March 2026.
Using wall lizard embryos, we present an approach to isolate neural crest cells by antibody labeling and flow cytometry followed by single‐cell RNA sequencing. The approach does not require transgenic animals, and thus enables addressing evo‐devo questions across a range of vertebrate taxa.

\u3cem\u3eAnolis\u3c/em\u3e Sex Chromosomes Are Derived from A Single Ancestral Pair [PDF]

, 2014
To explain the frequency and distribution of heteromorphic sex chromosomes in the lizard genus Anolis, we compared the relative roles of sex chromosome conservation versus turnover of sex‐determining mechanisms. We used model‐based comparative methods to

What Drives Variation in Habitat Use by Anolis Lizards: Habitat Availability or Selectivity? [PDF]

, 2006
Geographic variation in habitat availability may drive geographic variation in a species' habitat use; alternatively, species adapted to particular habitat characteristics may use a habitat regardless of its availability within an environment.

Diversification and Evolutionary Dynamics in Tropical Montane Regions

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The evolution of montane species provides critical insights into the drivers of adaptation and diversification. Topographic complexity, a defining feature of many mountainous landscapes, promotes ecological and geographic isolation, often accelerating speciation rates.

Convergent Evolution of Sexual Dimorphism in Skull Shape Using Distinct Developmental Strategies [PDF]

, 2013
Studies integrating evolutionary and developmental analyses of morphological variation are of growing interest to biologists as they promise to shed fresh light on the mechanisms of morphological diversification.

Surviving the Squeeze: Genomic Analysis of a Successful Invasion by European Common Wall Lizards (Podarcis muralis) in North America (Ohio, USA)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive species that undergo a founder event may experience a decline in genetic diversity yet still establish successful populations. A possible example is a population of the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, which was founded following an introduction in the 1950s of a small number of individuals from Europe ...

Response of brown anoles Anolis sagrei to multimodal signals from a native and novel predator

Current Zoology, 2012
Multiple studies have focused on the importance of single modalities (visual, auditory, olfactory) in eliciting anti-predator behavior, however multiple channels are often engaged simultaneously. While examining responses to multiple cues can potentially

Orangutan: An R Package for Analyzing and Visualizing Phenotypic Data in the Context of Species Descriptions and Population Comparisons

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Orangutan is an R package that streamlines the analysis of phenotypic data for species diagnosis and group comparisons using mensural and meristic traits. It automates key analytical steps—including size correction, statistical testing, and multivariate analysis—while producing standardized outputs and publication‐ready visualizations.
