Can chameleons lead?

چکیده
In this exchange of letters, Art Bedeian and Dave Day attempt to square findings from the self-monitoring theory literature with what is known about leadership. Research suggests that high self-monitors [HSMs; relative to low self-monitors (LSMs)] are more likely to emerge as leaders. Bedeian, however, expresses skepticism about this finding. He notes that the description of a typical HSM does not correspond with what he considers to be the portfolio of a true leader. By drawing upon the self-monitoring and leadership literatures, Day responds to Bedeian’s doubt about this finding, as well as other related issues. The exchange leads to a consideration of alternative views and their implications for future research on the relationship between self-monitoring and

Are morphological specializations of the hyolingual system in chameleons and salamanders tuned to demands on performance?
Extremely specialized and long tongues used for prey capture have evolved independently in plethodontid salamanders and chameleons. In both systems, the demands on tongue projection are probably similar: to maximize projection velocity and distance. Consequently, many of the design features of the projection system in these two groups have converged to an astonishing degree. Both involve the us...
متن کاملEvolution of Karyotypes in Chameleons
The reconstruction of the evolutionary dynamics of karyotypes and sex determining systems in squamate reptiles is precluded by the lack of data in many groups including most chameleons (Squamata: Acrodonta: Chamaeleonidae). We performed cytogenetic analysis in 16 species of chameleons from 8 genera covering the phylogenetic diversity of the family and also phylogenetic reconstruction of karyoty...
متن کاملSynchronized Dancing of Oblivious Chameleons
It has been recently discovered that oblivious iguanid lizards can form a periodic sequence of tableaux vivants with some restrictions on the tableaux. By viewing each tableau as a dance step, a formable sequence can be seen as a dance choreography, performable by the lizards. Interestingly, a complete characterization exists of the dances performable by all families of oblivious iguanid lizard...
متن کاملChameleon Induced Atomic Afterglow
The chameleon is a scalar field whose mass depends on the density of its environment. Chameleons are necessarily coupled to matter particles and will excite transitions between atomic energy levels in an analogous manner to photons. When created inside an optical cavity by passing a laser beam through a constant magnetic field, chameleons are trapped between the cavity walls and form a standing...
متن کاملStrongly coupled chameleons and the neutronic quantum bouncer.
We consider the potential detection of chameleons using bouncing ultracold neutrons. We show that the presence of a chameleon field over a planar plate would alter the energy levels of ultracold neutrons in the terrestrial gravitational field. When chameleons are strongly coupled to nuclear matter, β≳10(8), we find that the shift in energy levels would be detectable with the forthcoming GRANIT ...
متن کاملCaptive Care, Raising, and Breeding of the Veiled Chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus).
Squamate reptiles comprise approximately one-third of all living amniotes. In most of these species, it is difficult to study gastrulation and neurulation because the embryos are at a late stage of development at the time of oviposition. This is not the case, however, in veiled chameleons (Chamaeleo calyptratus), which are increasingly being used as a model organism to study these and other dev...
