Despite its fundamental importance, the consequence of colonization for traits of founding populations have primarily been surmised from static present-day distributions

Losos_WhatDrivesVariation.pdf  (422.0Kb; PDF)  Abstract: Geographic variation in habitat availability may drive geographic variation in a species' habitat use; alternatively, species adapted to particular habitat characteristics may use a habitat regardless of its availability within an environment. In this study, we investigated habitat use of two sympatric species of Anolis lizards that are morphologically specialized to use different microhabitats. We examined variation in microhabitat use and availability among four distinct forest types. In each forest type, we quantified available microhabitats (i.e., perch diameter, angle of inclination, and visibility), as well as microhabitats actually used by each species. We found that species consistently differed in microhabitat use, corresponding to each species' morphological specializations. However, microhabitat use of both species varied among sites. This variation in

Next INTRODUCTION Comparisons of closely related clades in mainland and island habitats provide a particularly good opportunity for understanding how extrinsic factors affect evolutionary patterns. The striking differences between closely related taxa in island and mainland habitats have intrigued biologists for many years. Comparisons of island species to closely related mainland forms reveal a wide variety of differences in body size, life history characteristics, behavior, population structure, and many other features (see Carlquist 1965, 1974, Williamson 1981). In addition to focusing on particular species, many researchers have also been intrigued by differences in the extent of diversification of island and mainland clades, with most research centering on understanding the factors that cause island populations to diversify to a much greater extent than their mainland relatives (e.g., Hawaiian Drosophila [Carson and Kaneshiro 1976], Darwin's finches [Lack 1947, Grant 1986]).

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary's Common Lizards Green Anole Brown Anole Southeastern Five-lined Skink Indo-Pacific Gecko ... 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"

Genetic distance estimates between populations are considerably lower than the estimates for the ecologically equivalent Anolis roquet species group of the southern Lesser Antilles. The relative proximity of islands in the northern part of the archipelago increases the probability of multiple colonizations, hence introgression, and a relatively slower rate of genetic divergence.

Anolis Lizards of the Greater Antilles: Using Phylogeny to Test Hypotheses CONGRATULATIONS! YOU are about to journey to the Greater Antilles, several islands that include Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, and Jamica just south of Florida. Your goal is to study and collect Anolis lizards to learn where different species of Anolis lizards live and how they are related. Where they live (called their distribution) and how they are related will help you make hypotheses about how they evolved on the islands. Here are your goals: A. Observe and describe what each species looks like. B. Look for patterns in where they live to make hypotheses about how they evolved. C. Use a phylogenetic tree to test your hypotheses. Part I. Getting Started Before you begin your research, learn a bit about the islands and the lizards. Your teacher will provide you a map of the islands and other resources to review. 1) Color code the islands on the map so that each island is a different color. (for example, color Cuba blue) 2) Answer questions 1-2 on the question sheet. Part II. Looking for patterns

34. Evolution And Dynamics Of Jumping In Anolis Lizards Photograph by E. Toro. Jumping is an important means of locomotion for many animal species, but remarkably little is known of the dynamics of jumping in any animal species. http://www.bio.umass.edu/biology/irschick/dynamics_jumping.htm

Evolution and dynamics of jumping in Anolis lizards Photograph by E. Toro Jumping is an important means of locomotion for many animal species, but remarkably little is known of the dynamics of jumping in any animal species. Further, few studies have examined the evolution of jumping. Do animals jump at "optimal" angles for jumping? If not, are there important trade-offs in the evolution of jumping that "prevent" some species from jumping at their optimal angles? We are currently investigating these issues by examining a clade of 12 species of Caribbean Anolis lizards that vary dramatically in limb morphology and jumping performance. In addition, these 12 species also vary dramatically in size; thus another question is how different biomechanical jumping variables (e.g., take-off angle, force output) change with size. Recent work (Toro et al. 2003a) showed that the scaling of these jumping variables does not match expectations of any single theoretical scaling model. In addition, another study shows that the average jump angle for these 12 anole species more closely approximates 36 degrees, not 45 degrees, as predicted from previous models (Toro et al. 2004). This latter work shows that anole species may jump at such "sub-optimal" angles to resolve a biomechanical trade-off between jump angle and flight duration. Relevant literature: Toro E, Herrel A, Vanhooydonck B, Irschick DJ. 2003.

Caribbean and mainland Anolis lizards We examined whether patterns of ecomorphological evolution differ among Caribbean and mainland anoles. We first asked, does a relationship between ecology and morphology exist among mainland anoles? Once we established whether such a correlation exists, we then examined whether the ecomorphological correlations are the same as among Caribbean anoles, and whether morphological types present in the West Indies also exist on the mainland.
