Dear AA community,

I have just recently returned back home to Slovenia, where I started a research position at the Jovan Hadži Biological Institute, Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts. Although I have thus far studied topics as diverse as sexual selection (nephilid spiders), phylogenetics (cuttlefishes) and visual gene expression (deep-sea fishes and cichlids), I have always had a keen interest in anole evolution. With the new position in hand and certain questions in mind, it seems that the time is ripe to finally, slowly but surely, delve into anole research.

Topics I am most interested in concern sexual selection and maternal effects, but also phenotypic plasticity in general; the latter also from a molecular (transcriptomic) point of view. Since AA brings together anole researchers of all scopes, I was thinking of asking here directly . . .

Would you be able to point me in the right direction and suggest colleagues and research groups that tackle questions within the scope of the aforementioned topics?

Please don’t hesitate to email me directly (nik.lupse@zrc-sazu.si) if willing to discuss in more detail. Many thanks!

Sincerely, Nik Lupše
