Colour polymorphisms (CP's) continue to be of interest to evolutionary biologists because of
their general tractability, importance in studies of selection and potential role in speciation …

The study of coloration in the polyphyletic reptilians has flourished in the last two decades, in
particular with respect to the underlying genetics of colour traits, the function of colours in …

Colour polymorphic species are model systems for examining the evolutionary processes
that generate and maintain discrete phenotypic variation in natural populations. Lizards …

Lizards have been model organisms for ecological and evolutionary studies from individual
to community levels at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Here we highlight lizards as …

A challenge to ecologists and evolutionary biologists is predicting organismal responses to
the anticipated changes to global ecosystems through climate change. Most evidence …

It is not immediately clear how costly behavior that benefits others evolves by natural
selection. By saving on inherent costs, individuals that do not contribute socially have a …

Background Many small vertebrates on islands grow larger, mature later, lay smaller
clutches/litters, and are less sexually dimorphic and aggressive than their mainland …

A major goal in evolutionary biology is to determine how phenotypic variation arises and is
maintained in natural populations. Recent studies examining the morphological …

Population-level comparative analyses can link microevolutionary processes within
populations to macroevolutionary patterns of diversification. We used the comparative …
