Fast and accurate detection of evolutionary shifts in Ornstein–Uhlenbeck models (2016, methodology): “To do so, they used a stepwise search among OU models to study how natural selection shaped the morphology of Caribbean Anolis lizards (Losos 2009), and then correlated the phylogenetic placements of shifts in OU optima to habitat changes.”
The global diversity and distribution of lizard clutch sizes (2020, background): “Gymnophthalmids, being mostly leaf-litter inhabitants, and anoles, being predominately scansorial (mostly arboreal, but with many leaf-litter species; for example, Losos, 2009; Vitt & Caldwell, 2013), could perhaps not penetrate temperate desert belts and migrate further north.”
Abiotic and biotic constraints across reptile and amphibian ranges (2016, background): “Perhaps the best known case of habitat partitioning due to competitive exclusion is that of the Caribbean Anolis lizards (reviewed by Losos 2009).”
Adaptive Radiation: Contrasting Theory with Data (2009, neutral): “Stages hypotheses have been proposed for mountain New Guinea birds (divergence in habitat elevation first, followed by segregation in diet, foraging techniques, and size), Phylloscopus leaf warblers (order of divergence: body size, foraging morphology and behavior, habitat), cichlids and parrot-fish”
Animal Communication and Noise (2013, background): “Assemblages of closely related species that occur in the same geographic area and thus regularly encounter one another are notable for their diversity in ecological niches (Chesson 2000; Losos 2010).”
Adaptive Radiation, Ecological Opportunity, and Evolutionary Determinism (2010, background): “Radiations occurring on different continents usually will be accomplished by distantly related clades that are, for reasons just discussed, likely to diversify in different ways (Pianka 1986; Cadle and Greene 1993; Losos 1994).”
Ecological Opportunity and Adaptive Radiation (2016, background): “Additional examples include Galápagos finches (Grant & Grant 2008), Hawaiian lobeliads (Givnish et al. 2009), African Rift Lake cichlids (Seehausen 2006), Hawaiian spiders (Gillespie 2004, 2015), Sulawesi silversides (Pfaender et al. 2010), and Caribbean Anolis lizards (Losos 2009).”
phytools 2.0: an updated R ecosystem for phylogenetic comparative methods (and other things) (2023, background): “In Figure 22 we can already begin to discern some of the interesting ecomorphological phenotypic patterns of Anolis lizards (Losos 2009).”
Adaptation and diversification on islands (2009, background): “…radiations of birds that have diversified in beak size and shape, and radiations of lizards that have diverged in limb and toe-pad dimensions 8,18 — the functional and ecological significance of phenotypic diversity is well understood and the adaptive basis of radiation is well established.”
Supplementary Materials for Rapid evolution of a native species following invasion by a congener (2014, background): “Previous studies of Anolis have found that limb length correlates positively with lizard perch diameter (reviewed in [( 11 )]), so we also measured diameter of lizard perches to the nearest 0.1cm.”
Fecundity Selection and the Evolution of Reproductive Output and Sex-Specific Body Size in the Liolaemus Lizard Adaptive Radiation (2011, background): “This prediction does not apply to species where genetic constraints preclude variation in offspring number per reproductive episode, such as in anoles or several geckonids (Fitch 1985; Vitt 1986; Shine 2005; Losos 2009).”
Ecological opportunity and the origin of adaptive radiations (2010, background): “The extensive body of research on the ecology and evolution of this group has been recently compiled by Losos (2009); below, we review the evidence for the components of our proposed model that have been documented in island Anolis radiations.”
