It Is NOT Time For A New Classification Of Anoles
by Jonathan Losos in Anole Annals
We’ve had a lot of great discussion about Nicholson’s et al.’s proposal to split Anolis into eight genera. To date, most of the commenters have been against the proposal; I’d like to explain why I agree with this majority view. … Continue reading →... Read more »

What’s In A Name? Perhaps A Rose Is A Rose Is A Rose, But Is An Anolis A Dactyloa?
by George Gorman in Anole Annals
A half century ago my graduate research was stimulated and influenced by the important unpublished Etheridgean thesis (Etheridge, “1959”, 1960). As an E.E. Williams student, I was an adopter, user, and later coiner of informal names for seemingly natural evolutionary … Continue reading →... Read more »

Evolution Meetings 2012: Phylogeography of Anolis carolinensis
by Rich Glor in Anole Annals
Anolis carolinensis is increasingly used as a genetic model organism, but we know suprisingly little about the distribution of geographic genetic variation in this species across its native range. At this year’s evolution meetings, Marc Tollis presented his recently published … Continue reading →... Read more »

Evolution Meeting 2012: Mystery Anole Sighted
by Yoel Stuart in Anole Annals
At the Evolution 2012 meeting, after a scheduling snafu delayed his talk fifteen minutes and prompted panic from an anticipatory audience, Jonathan Losos mused about the natural history and ecology of the Ecuadorian Horned Anole, Anolis proboscis. In case you missed his … Continue reading →... Read more »

The Blossoming Flower of Anolis Biology
by Thomas Sanger in Anole Annals
This post serves as a lighthearted response to Jonathan’s earlier announcement and as an advertisement – perhaps endorsement – for some of the upcoming anole talks at Evolution 2012. In his post Jonathan highlights recent comments by David Hembry that … Continue reading →... Read more »

The Anoles of San Andres And Providencia
by Jonathan Losos in Anole Annals
Almost all Caribbean anoles are descendants from a single colonizing species, whose descendants now occupy all of the Greater Antilles, the Lesser Antilles south through Dominica, and many other islands. Almost all of the remaining species are members of the … Continue reading →... Read more »

How Will Global Warming Affect Lizards? A Detailed Physiological Study On Puerto Rican Anoles
by Jonathan Losos in Anole Annals
For obvious reasons, there is great concern about how species will cope with climate change–as the world gets hotter, will species be able to survive? Many studies have taken a macroscopic view, examining the geographic distribution of a species to … Continue reading →... Read more »
