differentially expressed genes associated with adaptation to different thermal environments in three sympatric cuban anolis lizards.	how animals achieve evolutionary adaptation to different thermal environments is an important issue for evolutionary biology as well as for biodiversity conservation in the context of recent global warming. in cuba, three sympatric species of anolis lizards (anolis allogus, a. homolechis and a. sagrei) inhabit different thermal microhabitats, thereby providing an excellent opportunity to examine how they have adapted to different environmental temperatures. here, we performed rna-seq on the brai ...	2016	27027506
comparisons of behavioural and trpa1 heat sensitivities in three sympatric cuban anolis lizards.	thermal tolerances of organisms play a role in defining geographic ranges and occurrence of species. in cuba, three sympatric species of anolis lizards (anolis allogus, anolis homolechis and anolis sagrei) inhabit different thermal microhabitats. a previous study found that these species showed distinct gene expression patterns in response to temperature stimuli, suggesting the genetically distinct thermal physiology among species. to investigate whether the anolis species inhabiting locally dis ...	2018	29603467
identification of a reptile lyssavirus in anolis allogus provided novel insights into lyssavirus evolution.	lyssaviruses (genus lyssavirus) are negative-strand rna viruses belonging to the family rhabdoviridae. although a lyssa-like virus (frog lyssa-like virus 1 [fllv-1]), which is distantly related to lyssaviruses, was recently identified in frogs, a large phylogenetic gap exists between those viruses, and thus the evolution of lyssaviruses is unclear. in this study, we detected a lyssa-like virus from publicly available rna-seq data obtained using the brain and skin of anolis allogus (spanish flag ...	2020	33159637
