A New Caryosporan and Eimerian (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from Green Anoles,Anolis carolinensis(Sauria: Dactyloidae), from Arkansas and Louisiana, with a Summary of the Coccidia of Dactyloidae [PDF]
Journal of Parasitology, 2014 Between April 2012 and September 2013, feces from 18 green anoles, Anolis carolinensis from Arkansas (n = 14), Louisiana (n = 1), and Oklahoma (n = 3) were examined for coccidia. Two species of coccidians were found, including a new caryosporan and a new eimerian. Oocysts of Caryospora natchitochesensis n. sp. from a single A.

A morphometric assessment of species boundaries in a widespread anole lizard (Squamata: Dactyloidae) [PDF]
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2020 AbstractCryptic species – genetically distinct species that are morphologically difficult to distinguish – present challenges to systematists. Operationally, cryptic species are very difficult to identify and sole use of genetic data or morphological data can fail to recognize evolutionarily isolated lineages.

Insectivorous birds reduce herbivory but do not increase mangrove growth across productivity zones
Ecology, Volume 103, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Top‐down effects of predators and bottom‐up effects of resources are important drivers of community structure and function in a wide array of ecosystems. Fertilization experiments impose variation in resource availability that can mediate the strength of predator impacts, but the prevalence of such interactions across natural productivity ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 1938-1948, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Animal closing forces such as bite and pinch forces may determine access to food and mates and are therefore important performance metrics related to fitness. Previous measurement setups to obtain in vivo closing force data were often custom‐made for each study, hampering comparisons among different studies.
