To current issue. anolis lizards Evolution, development blended in unique studyBy Tony Fitzpatrick Sometimes things fall into place against all odds.
http://record.wustl.edu/2002/02-01-02/lizards.html

Extractions: Photo by David Kilper Gibson-Brown, a developmental biologist in the University's Evolutionary and Population Biology Program, was collecting amphioxus embryos for his work in trying to understand the development of that animal's fin, which, in lizards (critters that evolved from fish), is a limb. Losos asked Gibson-Brown if he would be interested in joining a team in a proposal to the Packard Foundation. In brief, the program would analyze the evolution of Anolis lizards, common in the Caribbean, in conjunction with the evolution of their development system. "Ironically, that very day I'd stumbled across some Anolis lizard eggs on the ground and out of curiosity had removed part of the egg shell to see what I could of the organism," Gibson-Brown said. "Jonathan and Kerry Kornfeld in the School of Medicine were pulling together a very impressive team to research an area that is a natural for me. I'm interested in how the basic genetics of all animals have been tinkered with over time to bring about the great diversity in the animal kingdom."

Extractions: Studying Adaptation GC Williams has said that 'adaptation is an onerous concept that should be used only where it is really necessary.' This is a colorful way of saying that we should not assume that a trait is an adaptation, we must be forced to accept that a trait is an adaptation. Those familiar with the idea of a null hypothesis will recognize that this is saying that adaptation should never be the null hypothesisit must be one of the alternative hypotheses. There are a number of traits that are, in all likelihood represent adaptations, but for which adaptation has never been proved. The two ways that we will describe for studying adaptation are using experimental manipulation to measure the function of a presumed adaptation and by using the comparative method to disentangle the effects of evolutionary history. The comparative method Actually the comparative method is a set of methods for looking at a trait (perhaps adaptive) across species and trying to correct for the obvious fact that species have evolutionary relationships to one another. Let's take a look at the problem (described in your book on pp 265-269). Species may be similar to one another because they employ the same adaptive trait, or because they have a common evolutionary history. If we had the same phylogenetic tree, but in one case we observed a trait, perhaps an adaptation, in species D and E (the asterisks) while in the other case we observed the trait in A and E, we might come to different conclusions. In the first case, it seems probable that the trait we are observing did not evolve independently in D and E, but actually evolved in the common ancestor of the two species. It seems much more likely that the trait did evolve twice in the second case. The problem is that we may be trying to correlate this trait with other characteristics of the organisms. When we use a statistical test we have to know that all of our data points are independent of one another. It seems that the existence of phylogenetic relationships will make the assumption of independence difficult to meet. One solution has been to develop phylogenetically independent methods. Your book describes the mechanics of one of the techniques in Box 8.2 and in section 8.4.

Extractions: Click here for a list of all Refereed Publications My research centers on the evolution and biogeography of parasites and exploits the powerful techniques of molecular genetics to pursue issues that were formerly difficult or impossible to resolve in these taxa. Some of my work has also involved the study of the coevolution of parasites and their hosts. Parasite-host systems are particularly intriguing because two or more species coevolve in an antagonisitic fashion, the parasite being completely dependent on its host(s), and the host(s) selected to eliminate the relationship. I have used the malaria parasites ( Plasmodium and related genera), as my model system. These parasites are very diverse (fully 170 species of Plasmodium have been described), world-wide in distribution in many tropical, subtropical, and temperate habitats, infect a great range of vertebrate hosts (birds, mammals, and reptiles), and exhibit a substantial diversity of life history traits. This great diversity of parasite-host systems allows cross-species comparisons and phylogenetic analysis to approach important problems in biology. Molecular techniques have recently been developed for use with human malarial parasites; I have adapted these laboratory methods to study the great range of parasites in Plasmodium , related genera, and more distantly related apicomplexan parasites.

Coral Gables December 26, 1998 This young fellow was sticking to ground cover plants. Brown anoles are often in trees, but they're also often on the ground. Where the native green anoles and brown anoles coexist, you often see the brown anoles on the ground and in the lower branches, and the green anoles in the higher branches. Coral Gables
Biologists Find Unexpected Rapid Evolution In Caribbean Lizards
Louis, has found extensive genetic differentiation among populations ofnumerous anolis lizard species inhabiting single Caribbean islands.
http://www.innovations-report.com/html/reports/life_sciences/report-19916.html

Extractions: Another research thrust will be an effort to determine if the size of the island or other factors such as species ecology has an impact on the rate of fragmentation and speciation. Cuba is the largest island, followed by Hispaniola, Jamaica and Puerto Rico. Does speciation occur differently if the playing field is larger?

Alligators Green Anole Anolis carolinensis Description: maximum length 8 inches; bright green but can change color to light brown but always evenly hued; whitish chin; females have light stripe down the back and males don't (male top photo, female second photo); three factors influence color and change of color: camouflage, temperature, emotion. When on green vegetation or light background, tend to be green; when on bark or dark background, tend to be brown. When temperatures are around 70 or higher, tend to stay green; when in 60's are lower, tend to be brown. When males display for territory or females, turn bright green; when males fight, the winner turns bright green and the loser turns brown. Both males and females have dewlaps although males' slightly larger; used for breeding and territorial displays; Green Anoles in Southwest Florida have cream-colored dewlaps (third photo) while Green Anoles elsewhere have pinkish dewlaps. Mature males also have ridge or crest down back called a "roach"

Extractions: Seán I'm in southeast Mississippi, halfway between Gulfport and Hattiesburg. I've been searching the internet, and on an e-field guide, it said that anolis carolinenesis - which to me are "regular lizards" - have small crests which aren't visible except when they're threatened. So maybe that's what these were - their eyes did look bigger and more elongated, but then maybe the fact that they were "squaring off" had something to do with that. I know I've never seen such rapid and pronounced color changes in lizards, but the articles I've been reading said that emotions can cause them to change colors - these two were really fired up!

Extractions: Anolis carolinensis The green anole is a common lizard species on the Savannah River Site. Its habitat is arboreal; green anoles live in trees, shrubs, vines and tall grasses. They can often be found on fences and walls. Green anoles are also known as chameleons because they can quickly change color from green (when they fight) to brown (during cool weather). Males have a reddish pink throat fan, which they often exhibit when challenging other anoles. Anoles will fight other anoles to guard their territory. Green anoles, which reach lengths of 5 to 8 inches, are abundant from southern Virginia to the Florida Keys and extend west to central Texas and the southern tip of Oklahoma. Anoles eat flies, beetles, moths and spiders. Back to top Eastern Fence Lizard Sceloporus undulatus Eastern fence lizards are common on the Savannah River Site. They frequent sunny locations and will live in rotting logs in open woodlands. Fence lizards vary in color from gray to brown. Males have a blue throat patch. Adults typically range in length from 4 to 8 inches. Eastern fence lizards and several subspecies can be found from Delaware to Florida and extend west to New Mexico and Arizona. They feed on insects, beetles, spiders, centipedes and snails.
