Evolutionary lability in Hox cluster structure and gene expression in Anolis lizards
Evolution Letters, 2019 Hox genes orchestrate development by patterning the embryonic axis. Vertebrate Hox genes are arranged in four compact clusters, and the spacing between genes is assumed to be crucial for their function. The genomes of squamate reptiles are unusually rich

Sexual selection and life history influence diversification across evolutionary scales [PDF]
The processes resulting in biodiversity have been a focus of evolutionary biology since the field’s inception. Historically, vicariance, natural selection, and niche evolution have been considered primary generators of lineage diversity at ...

Impacts of Anthropogenic Disturbances and Urbanization on the Behavior and Morphology of Two Free-Living Lizard Species (\u3ci\u3eUta stansburiana\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eAspidoscelis neotesselatus\u3c/i\u3e) [PDF]
Urbanization can alter wildlife, requiring species to adjust to anthropogenic changes via life history strategies. Reptiles are particularly vulnerable to these changes, as ectotherms directly rely on their environment to maintain their optimal ...
