Screen shot of Anolis sagrei male and female from The Runner
Anole Annals regulars Nathan Dappen and Neil Losin, of Day’s Edge Productions, have won another prize for their filmmaking. This time, it’s for their entry, The Runner, in the World Wildlife Fund video competition themed “Life. Nature. You. Make the Connection.”
Screen shot of Anolis carolinensis male from The Runner
Footage of Anolis sagrei and A. carolinensis in Miami plays during seconds 40-45.
I am interested in whether, how, and why ecology shapes evolution (and evolution shapes ecology) through time, with an emphasis on microevolutionary pattern and process, adaptation, and field experiments. I completed my Ph.D. on Anolis lizards in the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University. I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Texas, Austin studying threespine stickleback. They're not anoles, but they're cool too.

Dewlapping while doing the deed seems like overkill. He already got the female. What’s that about? Males skulking about, hoping they might get a chance, too?

Another haiku:
Sagrei dewlaps
While increasing his fitness
A victory dance.

Could be dewlapping at the cameraperson, a la the Pursuit-Deterrence Hypothesis?
