Cryptic lineages and diversification of an endemic anole lizard (Squamata, Dactyloidae) of the Cerrado hotspot

open access: yesMolecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2016
The Cerrado is a wide Neotropical savanna with tremendously high endemic diversity. Yet, it is not clear what the prevalent processes leading to such diversification are. We used the Cerrado-endemic lizard Norops meridionalis to investigate the main abiotic factors that promoted genetic divergence, the timings of these divergence events, and how these ...

Two new species of semiaquatic Anolis (Squamata: Dactyloidae) from Costa Rica

Zootaxa, 2023
We describe two new species of Draconura-clade semiaquatic anoles from the central Pacific versant of Costa Rica. The two new species are similar to Anolis aquaticus in external appearance and ecology but differ from this species in male dewlap coloration and scalation. Anolis robinsoni sp. nov. and A. riparius sp. nov. differ from each other mainly in

New insights into sex chromosome evolution in anole lizards (Reptilia, Dactyloidae)

Chromosoma, 2016
Anoles are a clade of iguanian lizards that underwent an extensive radiation between 125 and 65 million years ago. Their karyotypes show wide variation in diploid number spanning from 26 (Anolis evermanni) to 44 (A. insolitus). This chromosomal variation involves their sex chromosomes, ranging from simple systems (XX/XY), with heterochromosomes ...

TESTING BERGMANN'S RULE IN THE WIDESPREAD MEXICAN LIZARD ANOLIS NEBULOSUS (SQUAMATA: DACTYLOIDAE)

The Southwestern Naturalist, 2021
Bergmann's rule predicts an inverse relationship between body size and environmental temperature in endotherms. The larger the organism, the lower the rate of heat loss by radiation; thus, larger organisms should be more likely to survive in colder places. This relationship is less clear in ectotherms.

Helminths associated withNorops fuscoauratus(Squamata, Dactyloidae) in highland marshes of the Brazilian semi-arid

Journal of Helminthology, 2020
AbstractHelminthological studies may contribute with valuable information on host biology and conservation. Herein, we provide new data on helminths infecting the lizardNorops fuscoauratus, testing one of the factors considered most important in parasitic ecology: host size. We analysed 25 specimens ofN.

Geometric morphometry of populations of Anolis tropidonotus (Peters 1863, Squamata: Dactyloidae) of contrasting hábitats

Agro Productividad, 2023
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the variation in the shape and size of two populations of A. tropidonotus from two habitats with contrasting vegetation and environmental characteristics. Design/methodology/approach: 26 specimens of A. tropidonotus were collected and photographed and using the TPSdig 2 program, three type I landmarks, eight type II ...

Influence of microhabitat use on morphology traits of three species of the Anolis sericeus complex (Squamata: Dactyloidae) in Mexico

Zoology, 2022
The relationship between microhabitat use and morphology in Anolis lizards has been well studied in the Caribbean islands. However, studies of ecomorphology are scarce for the vast majority of mainland Anolis species. Thus there is a great lack of knowledge on how microhabitat use may influence the morphology of most mainland Anolis species.
