Happy to share our new paper on the thermal tolerance of phrynosomatid lizards, now out in The American Naturalist! A beautiful collaborative project across career stages, with undergraduate and graduate students and postdocs 😊🦎 www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Though iconic, the species diversity of rock monitor lizards remains incomplete. Here, 3 new species of Varanus in NE Australia are described, adding to a growing list of endemic reptile from the Eastern Savannas & underscoring the importance of rocky habitats! 🌍🧪 doi.org/10.1093/zool...

Distant lizard relatives Liolaemus cuyanus & L. rojanus live side by side in Argentina's Monte Desert but use different physiological strategies to remain hydrated. Surprisingly smaller L. rojanus are at less risk of dehydration than larger L. cuyanus journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

Ho et al. present genome assemblies for the parental species of the unisexual hybrid New Mexico Whiptail Lizard, using it to analyze WGS data from the hybrids, suggesting that genomes of unisexual lineages diverge more quickly than anticipated. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evaf228 #genome #evolution

“Descifrar la naturaleza”: El libro que desentierra las historias de siete científicos chilenos que dedicaron su vida a explorar la biodiversidad local

Muy contento con este trabajo!! Y una excelente experiencia colaborando con el tremendo @anthonygeneva.bsky.social, junto a un equipo increíble de personas!! Interesante pensar qué otras características genéticas únicas tendrán estos grupos de organismos TAN diversos! 🤔😱🦎

@raularayadonoso.bsky.social @kenrokusumi.bsky.social @anthonygeneva.bsky.social et al. compared the genomes of Anolis species, finding evidence of structural variation and signatures of selection associated with phenotypic diversity. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evaf196 #genome #evolution #anolis

The November cover of Genome Biology and Evolution features @raularayadonoso.bsky.social @kenrokusumi.bsky.social @anthonygeneva.bsky.social et al., who studied how structural rearrangements and selection promote phenotypic evolution in Anolis. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/gbe/evaf196 #genome #evolution
