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 …

Include the females: morphology–performance relationships vary between sexes in lizards
An animal's morphology influences its ability to perform essential tasks, such as locomoting
to obtain prey or escape predators. While morphology–performance relationships are well …

Lizards and the enzootic cycle of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato
TA Nowak, RL Burke, MA Diuk‐Wasser… - Molecular …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Emerging and re‐emerging pathogens often stem from zoonotic origins, cycling between
humans and animals, and are frequently vectored and maintained by hematophagous …

Spatial variation in gene flow across a hybrid zone reveals causes of reproductive isolation and asymmetric introgression in wall lizards
Hybrid zones provide insights into the evolution of reproductive isolation. Sexual selection
can contribute to the evolution of reproductive barriers, but it remains poorly understood how …

Lizards at the peak: Physiological plasticity does not maintain performance in lizards transplanted to high altitude
Warming climates are facilitating the range expansion of many taxa to habitats that were
formerly thermally inhospitable, including to higher latitudes and elevations. The potential for …

Thermal–metabolic phenotypes of the lizard Podarcis muralis differ across elevation, but converge in high-elevation hypoxia
In response to a warming climate, many montane species are shifting upslope to track the
emergence of preferred temperatures. Characterizing patterns of variation in metabolic …

Experimental contact zones reveal causes and targets of sexual selection in hybridizing lizards
Divergence in sexually selected traits in allopatry should affect the degree and direction of
hybridization. However, few studies have established the causes and targets of sexual …

Phylogeographic evidence for multiple long-distance introductions of the common wall lizard associated with human trade and transport
The common wall lizard has been widely introduced across Europe and overseas. We
investigated the origin of putatively introduced Podarcis muralis populations from two …

Male behaviour drives assortative reproduction during the initial stage of secondary contact
Phenotypic divergence in allopatry can facilitate speciation by reducing the likelihood that
individuals of different lineages hybridize during secondary contact. However, few studies …

Physiological phenotypes differ among color morphs in introduced common wall lizards (Podarcis muralis)
A Amer, S Spears, PL Vaughn, C Colwell… - Integrative …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Many species exhibit color polymorphisms which have distinct physiological and behavioral
characteristics. However, the consistency of morph trait covariation patterns across species …
