distinguishing between primary and secondary intergradation among morphologically differentiated populations of anolis marmoratus. | distinguishing between primary and secondary intergradation among differentiated populations, and the relative importance of drift and selection, are persistent problems in evolutionary biology. an historical perspective on population interactions can provide insight into the nature of contacts, and thus help resolve these questions. continuously distributed populations of anolis marmoratus from the island of basse terre in the guadeloupean archipelago of the lesser antilles show a striking degr ... | 1996 | 8673270 |
divergence in coloration and ecological speciation in the anolis marmoratus species complex. | adaptive divergence in coloration is expected to produce reproductive isolation in species that use colourful signals in mate choice and species recognition. indeed, many adaptive radiations are characterized by differentiation in colourful signals, suggesting that divergent selection acting on coloration may be an important component of speciation. populations in the anolis marmoratus species complex from the caribbean island of guadeloupe display striking divergence in the colour and pattern o ... | 2013 | 23611648 |

evolutionary differentiation of bimaculatus group anoles based on analyses of mtdna and microsatellite data. | the bimaculatus group of anoles inhabit the northern lesser antilles, as far south as dominica. this study uses 1005 base pairs (bp) of mitochondrial dna sequence data from two genes, cytochrome b (521 bp) and cytochrome oxidase subunit i (484 bp) to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships between species and populations of anoles from all islands banks. allele frequency data from nuclear microsatellite loci are also analysed to assess their utility in uncovering historical relationships and prov ... | 2004 | 15186792 |
