A second Anolis lizard in Dominican amber and the systematics and ecological morphology of Dominican amber anoles.
de Queiroz, Kevin; Chu, Ling-Ru; Losos, Jonathan B. (1998)A fossil Anolis lizard in the collections of the American Museum of Natural History is the second anole preserved in amber from the Dominican Republic (Miocene epoch) to be studied... -
Discovery of a giant chameleon-like lizard (Anolis) on Hispaniola and its significance to understanding replicated adaptive radiations
Mahler, D. Luke; Lambert, Shea M.; Geneva, Anthony J.; Ng, Julienne; Hedges, S. Blair; Losos, Jonathan B.; Glor, Richard E. (2016)We report a new chameleon-like Anolis species from Hispaniola that is ecomorphologically similar to congeners found only on Cuba. Lizards from both clades possess short limbs and a short tail and utilize relatively narrow ... -
Evolutionary stasis and lability in thermal physiology in a group of tropical lizards
Muñoz, Martha M.; Stimola, Maureen A.; Algar, Adam C.; Conover, Asa; Rodríguez, Anthony J.; Landestoy T., Miguel A.; Bakken, George S.; Losos, Jonathan B. (2014)Understanding how quickly physiological traits evolve is a topic of great interest, particularly in the context of how organisms can adapt in response to climate warming. Adjustment to novel thermal habitats may occur ... -
Lizards in an evolutionary tree: ecology and adaptive radiation of anoles
Losos, Jonathan B. (2009)[English] Adaptive radiation, which results when a single ancestral species gives rise to many descendants, each adapted to a different part of the environment, is possibly the single most important source of biological ... -
Phylogenetic analysis of ecological and morphological diversification in Hispaniolan trunk‐ground anoles (Anolis cybotes group)
Glor, Richard E.; Kolbe, Jason J.; Powell, Robert; Larson, Allan; Losos, Jonathan B. (2003)Anolis lizards in the Greater Antilles partition the structural microhabitats available at a given site into four to six distinct categories. Most microhabitat specialists, or ecomorphs, have evolved only once on each ...
