Regulatory changes in pterin and carotenoid genes underlie balanced color polymorphisms in the wall lizard
Reptiles use pterin and carotenoid pigments to produce yellow, orange, and red colors.
These conspicuous colors serve a diversity of signaling functions, but their molecular basis …

Sexual selection drives asymmetric introgression in wall lizards
Hybridisation is increasingly recognised as an important cause of diversification and
adaptation. Here, we show how divergence in male secondary sexual characters between …

Cityscape genetics: structural vs. functional connectivity of an urban lizard population
J Beninde, S Feldmeier, M Werner… - Molecular …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Functional connectivity is essential for the long‐term persistence of populations. However,
many studies assess connectivity with a focus on structural connectivity only. Cityscapes …
