Following decades of intensive study, Anolis lizards have emerged as a biological model
system. We review how new research on anoles has advanced our understanding of …

Far from the line drawings and black-and-white photos of the past, Infectious Diseases and
Pathology of Reptiles features high-quality, color photos of normal anatomy and histology …

Evolution is happening all around us. In many cases–lately, due to technological advances
in molecular biology–scientists can now describe the evolutionary process in exquisite …

Understanding functional adaptation demands an integrative framework that captures the
complex interactions between form, function, ecology, and evolutionary processes. In this …

The evolution of key innovations—unique features that enable a lineage to interact with the
environment in a novel way—may drive broad patterns of adaptive diversity. However …

Rates of evolution get smaller when they are measured over longer time intervals. As first
shown by Gingerich, rates of morphological change measured from fossil time series show a …

Recently-developed, molecularly-based phylogenies of geckos have provided the basis for
reassessing the number of times adhesive toe-pads have arisen within the Gekkota. At …

Animals use a diverse array of motion to feed, escape predators, and reproduce. Linking
morphology, performance, and fitness is a foundational paradigm in organismal biology and …

Geckos are a hyper-diverse, ancient, and globally distributed group. They have diverged
early from other squamates and thus can be expected to differ from them along multiple …
