    Untangling intra- and interspecific effects on body size clines reveals divergent processes structuring convergent patterns in Anolis lizards

    Untangling intra- and interspecific effects on body size clines reveals divergent processes structuring convergent patterns in Anolis lizards by Muñoz, Martha M., Wegener, Johanna E., Algar, Adam C.

    Published 2014
    “…We find inverse Bergmann’s clines—high elevation lizards are smaller bodied—for both the cybotes clade on Hispaniola and the sagrei clade on Cuba. However, on Hispaniola, the inverse cline is driven by interspecific differences, whereas intraspecific variation is responsible for the inverse cline on Cuba. …”

    Evolutionary stasis and lability in thermal physiology in a group of tropical lizards

    Evolutionary stasis and lability in thermal physiology in a group of tropical lizards by Muñoz, Martha M., Stimola, Maureen A., Algar, Adam C., Cosover, Asa, Rodriguez, Anthony J., Landestoy, Miguel A., Bakken, George A., Losos, Jonathan B.

    Published 2014
    “…Here we test whether rates of evolution differ among physiological traits in the cybotoids, a clade of tropical Anolis lizards distributed in markedly different thermal environments on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. We find that cold tolerance evolves considerably faster than heat tolerance, a difference that results because behavioural thermoregulation more effectively shields these organisms from selection on upper than lower temperature tolerances. …”

    Chronology of the Pueblo Viejo epithermal gold-silver deposit, Dominican Republic: formation in an Early Cretaceous intra-oceanic island arc and burial under ophiolite.

    Chronology of the Pueblo Viejo epithermal gold-silver deposit, Dominican Republic: formation in an Early Cretaceous intra-oceanic island arc and burial under ophiolite. by Mueller, A., Hall, G., Nemchin, Alexander, O'Brien, D.

    Published 2008
    “…The Pueblo Viejo deposit (production to 1996:166 t Au, 760 t Ag) is located in the Dominican Republic on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola and ranks as one of the largest high-sulfidation/acid-sulfate epithermal deposits (reserves in 2007: 635 t Au, 3,648 t Ag). …”

    Area, climate heterogeneity, and the response of climate niches to ecological opportunity in island radiations of Anolis lizards

    Area, climate heterogeneity, and the response of climate niches to ecological opportunity in island radiations of Anolis lizards by Algar, Adam C., Mahler, D. Luke

    Published 2016
    “…Location Caribbean Methods We quantified two temperature axes (mean temperature and temperature seasonality of species' localities) of the climate niche for 130 Anolis species on Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Jamaica and the northern and southern Lesser Antilles. …”
