Island hopping lizards Ocean Currents Slow Adaptation of Tree-dwelling Lizards, UCLA Study Finds; Research Sheds New Light on Island Evolution Date: December 3, 2003 Contact: Phil Hampton ( phampton@support.ucla.edu ) Phone: 310-206-1460 Evolution of genetically distinct species that live exclusively on land can be slowed by over-water dispersal following tropical storms, according to a UCLA study that suggests classic theories of island evolution need an overhaul. In an article published Thursday, Dec. 4, in the journal Nature, postdoctoral fellow Ryan Calsbeek and Professor Thomas B. Smith of the UCLA Center for Tropical Research report that lizards long thought to be evolving independently on Caribbean Islands in fact exchange genetic material. The reason, according to their 12-month study: Hurricanes and lesser storms wash the lizards into prevailing ocean currents, which carry them from island to island. "The lizards are being prevented from evolving as quickly as they otherwise would have," said Calsbeek, the study's lead researcher. "We can no longer just assume that certain populations evolved independently on separate islands." The study questions the widely held view that vast numbers of species of plants and animals on Caribbean, Hawaiian and Galapagos islands evolved separately in isolated microcosms of evolution. As a result, the research sheds new light on the mechanisms of evolution of animals in island habitats and their ability to adapt in the future. Smith, an evolutionary biologist and director of the Center for Tropical Research at the UCLA Institute of the Environment, explained that the exchange of genes among adjacent islands over time can slow evolution and the ability of animals to adapt to their surroundings.

Ann Arbor, MI, 48109 Prey trade off foraging gains and predation vulnerability in choosing an activity level, but many prey also have biorhythmic activity patterns. Biorhythmic activity patterns may interact with temporally variable predation risk to change the cost of this trade-off to prey growth rates. To this end, I recorded the diel activity patterns and growth rates of three size classes of green frog ( Rana clamitans ) tadpoles when living in predator-free well water and when exposed to predator chemical cues from caged larval dragonflies (

Extractions: Caribbean Anoline Lizards There are about 340 species of Anolis lizards, distributed throughout the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. The Caribbean species comprise 138 of the species. Remarkably similar species have arisen independently on each of the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico.) The two lizards shown here have close relatives that look completely different- these lizards are from Hispaniola (left- Anolis insolitus ) and Jamaica (right- Anolis valencienni To learn more about anoles, and to see more pictures select the category you are interested in: Map of the Caribbean with number of species per island Parallel adaptive radiations Unique anoles Other anoline genera If you want information on your pet anole, or have specific pet questions - please try one of the links pages bef ore e -mailing me.

Smith Top of page Islands are considered to be natural laboratories in which to examine evolution because of the implicit assumption that limited gene flow allows tests of evolutionary processes in isolated replicates . Here we show that this well-accepted idea requires re-examination. Island inundation during hurricanes can have devastating effects on lizard populations in the Bahamas . After severe storms, islands may be recolonized by over-water dispersal of lizards from neighbouring islands . High levels of gene flow may homogenize genes responsible for divergence, and are widely viewed as a constraining force on evolution . Ultimately, the magnitude of gene flow determines the extent to which populations diverge from one another, and whether or not they eventually form new species . We show that patterns of gene flow among island populations of Anolis lizards are best explained by prevailing ocean currents, and that over-water dispersal has evolutionary consequences. Across islands, divergence in fitness-related morphology decreases with increasing gene flow

Hertz Title Professor Affiliation/Department Department of Biological Sciences, Barnard College Telephone: e-mail: phertz@barnard.columbia.edu Professional degree Ph.D., Biology, Harvard University, 1977 Research Keywords animal physiological ecology and evolution, reptile ecology and behavior, and herpetology Research Description Paul Hertz specializes in animal physiological ecology and evolution, reptile ecology and behavior, and herpetology. Reptiles, as ectothermic vertebrates, provide a model system for studying adaptation to spatial and temporal variation in the physical environment. Dr. Hertz's early research focused on the evolution and interaction of behavioral and physiological traits that compensate for geographic and seasonal shifts in operative temperatures. More recently, Dr. Hertz has defined a protocol for using null hypotheses in field experiments to evaluate the extent and effectiveness of temperature regulation and its effect on resource partitioning in West Indian anoles. He has also investigated the role of light intensity in microhabitat selection by thermoregulating and non-thermoregulating Anolis species. Several years ago Dr. Hertz collaborated with two European colleagues on a study that determined the relative contributions of different behavioral mechanisms to temperature regulation in a European lacertid and evaluated the effects of operative temperatures on its microhabitat selection. Dr. Hertz has recently collaborated with scientists from Washington University, the Smithsonian, and the Cuban Academy of Sciences on a study of the thermal biology and community ecology of sympatric Anolis lizards in western Cuba. He hopes to continue this project in the near future.

Extractions: Fossil vertebrates preserved in amber are rare. Although as many as a dozen lizards in amber may exist, most are in private collections ( de Queiroz et al. 1998 ). Only two specimens of Anolis lizards preserved in Dominican amber have been described previously ( Rieppel 1980, de Queiroz et al. 1998 ). Both descriptions are based on relatively complete skeletons retaining some soft tissue and squamation. We report here a third Anolis lizard preserved in amber with details of skull osteology and taphonomy described and illustrated using digitally reconstructed images derived from high-resolution CT data. Application of CT imaging to the study of fossils is well documented ( Cifelli et al. 1996, Rowe 1996, Brochu 2000, Kobayashi et al. 2002 ) and has obvious advantages in illustrating internal or hidden details through non-destructive means. The earliest comprehensive study of the osteology of Anolis lizards was conducted by Etheridge (1959) , utilizing radiographs of approximately 1800 specimens, and comparisons with skeletons. Radiographs were also employed in two later studies of amber-preserved Anolis specimens ( Rieppel 1980,
