Testing the island effect in adaptive radiation: rates and patterns of morphological diversification in Caribbean and mainland Anolis lizards.
Many of the classic examples of adaptive radiation, including Caribbean Anolis lizards, are found on islands. However, Anolis also exhibits substantial species richness and ecomorphological disparity on mainland Central and South America. We compared patterns and rates of morphological evolution to investigate whether, in fact, island Anolis are exceptionally diverse relative to their mainland ...
متن کاملAnolis lizards as biocontrol agents in mainland and island agroecosystems
Our knowledge of ecological interactions that bolster ecosystem function and productivity has broad applications to the management of agricultural systems. Studies suggest that the presence of generalist predators in agricultural landscapes leads to a decrease in the abundance of herbivorous pests, but our understanding of how these interactions vary across taxa and along gradients of managemen...

متن کاملAnolis lizards
Is the visual system specialized for this type of image stabilization? Experimental observations on many species have shown that smooth motion of a very large image over an animal’s visual field produces optokinetic response of the eye, head and body, where the gaze follows the moving stimulus for a while and then makes a fast resetting movement (saccade), and then another stimulus following mo...
متن کاملExploiting genomic resources in studies of speciation and adaptive radiation of lizards in the genus Anolis.
Lizards in the genus Anolis have radiated extensively within and among islands in the Caribbean. Here, I provide a prospectus for identifying genes underlying adaptive phenotypic traits in anoles. First I review patterns of diversification in Anolis and the important morphological axes along which divergence occurs. Then I discuss two features of anole diversification, the repeated, convergent ...
