A parsimony analysis is then performed and tested against model cladograms of the taxon cycle and taxon pulse. Liebherr and Hajek analyse eight taxa of Antillean, Mexican and Central American Carabidae in which only one exibits a significant enough pattern to support the models of the taxon cycle or pulse.

    Extractions: In an article published Thursday, Dec. 4, in the journal Nature, postdoctoral fellow Ryan Calsbeek and Professor Thomas B. Smith of the UCLA Center for Tropical Research report that lizards long thought to be evolving independently on Caribbean Islands in fact exchange genetic material. The reason, according to their 12-month study: Hurricanes and lesser storms wash the lizards into prevailing ocean currents, which carry them from island to island. The study questions the widely held view that vast numbers of species of plants and animals on Caribbean, Hawaiian and Galapagos islands evolved separately in isolated microcosms of evolution. As a result, the research sheds new light on the mechanisms of evolution of animals in island habitats and their ability to adapt in the future.

    Extractions: A: The St. Eustatius Marine Park consists of four areas that are protected by local law. The southern part of the Marine Park (from Crooks Castle all the way to White Wall) is a restricted fishing zone. The three other areas: the historical wreck sites in the bay, STENAPA Reef (a modern wreck site) and the northern Marine Park are open for both fishing and diving. The Marine Park started operations on the first of January 1998. We hope that measures we take now to conserve this exquisite environment will mean that the coral reefs will be here not only for us to enjoy but for future generations also. For more information on the St.Eustatius Marine Park, visit their website at: www.statiapark.org Q: : How can you visit the Park? A: The law on St. Eustatius states that diving for nonresidents is only allowed under local guidance. This is to ensure that no historical artifacts or marine life are removed from our waters. It implies that you have to contact a local dive operator if you wish to dive. If you are going to dive in the Marine Park however, there is an admission fee to be paid. This fee can be paid at the Marine Park office, which is located at Lower Town close to the harbor. Or, you can pay it through Golden Rock Dive Center. The Marine Park fees are: US$ 6.00 for a day pass.

    Extractions: CERC: Faculty Biographies Paul E. Hertz Title Professor Affiliation/Department Department of Biological Sciences, Barnard College Telephone: e-mail: phertz@barnard.columbia.edu Professional degree Ph.D., Biology, Harvard University, 1977 Research Keywords animal physiological ecology and evolution, reptile ecology and behavior, and herpetology Research Description Paul Hertz specializes in animal physiological ecology and evolution, reptile ecology and behavior, and herpetology. Reptiles, as ectothermic vertebrates, provide a model system for studying adaptation to spatial and temporal variation in the physical environment. Dr. Hertz's early research focused on the evolution and interaction of behavioral and physiological traits that compensate for geographic and seasonal shifts in operative temperatures. More recently, Dr. Hertz has defined a protocol for using null hypotheses in field experiments to evaluate the extent and effectiveness of temperature regulation and its effect on resource partitioning in West Indian anoles. He has also investigated the role of light intensity in microhabitat selection by thermoregulating and non-thermoregulating Anolis species. Several years ago Dr. Hertz collaborated with two European colleagues on a study that determined the relative contributions of different behavioral mechanisms to temperature regulation in a European lacertid and evaluated the effects of operative temperatures on its microhabitat selection. Dr. Hertz has recently collaborated with scientists from Washington University, the Smithsonian, and the Cuban Academy of Sciences on a study of the thermal biology and community ecology of sympatric Anolis lizards in western Cuba. He hopes to continue this project in the near future.

I'd like to use these papers as a case study for natural selection and adaptation and constraint. There are 2 separate experiments presented by Losos. The 1994 paper is an example where they had predictions of evolutionary response in 2 species of lizards, but did not see any change over time. The 1997 Nature paper presents the results of a separate long term experiment using one of the species of Anolis lizards, where they claim to see adaptive evolution. The Case paper is a review of the 1997 Losos study.

    Extractions: I'm a postdoctoral fellow of the fund for scientific research Flanders-Belgium (FWO-Vl) working in the Laboratory for Functional Morphology and Ecomorphology at the University of Antwerp ( UIA ). In our lab we have the facilities to perform cineradiography, high-speed video recordings (500-1000fps), accelerometry, electromyography and force plate recordings. Main research topics at the lab are functional morphology, biomechanics and ecomorphology. Study systems include the feeding and locomotor systems in vertebrates (mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and birds). My main research interest concerns the evolution of complex integrated systems. By combining a wide variety of approaches and techniques (eg. electromyography, high-speed video and cineradiographic recordings, nerve transection experiments, muscle physiology, biomechanical modelling, ...) in an explicit historical context, I try to gain insights into the evolution of such systems. As model systems, I have chosen the feeding and locomotor system in vertebrates. Key topics in my research are the identification of constraints and trade offs that shaped the feeding and locomotor system through functional analyses. In addition to these 'hard core' experimental approaches, I try to investigate performance parameters such as bite force and sprint speed in an ecological and evolutionary context. A recent and ongoing project in collaboration with Duncan Irschick ( the Irschick lab page ) involves the evolution of head shape and feeding ecology in Caribbean

In an article published Thursday, Dec. 4, in the journal Nature, postdoctoral fellow Ryan Calsbeek and Professor Thomas B.

The reason, according to their 12-month study: Hurricanes and lesser storms wash the lizards into prevailing ocean currents, which carry them from island to island. "The lizards are being prevented from evolving as quickly as they otherwise would have," said Calsbeek, the study's lead researcher. "We can no longer just assume that certain populations evolved independently on separate islands."
