Complex ontogeny of sexual size dimorphism in a female‐larger gecko: Implications of determinate growth for lizard body size and life‐history evolution Open
Ectothermic vertebrates such as reptiles were assumed to be indeterminate growers, which means that there is no terminal point in time or size for growth in their lifetime. In recent years, evidence for the determinate nature of growth in …

Development of male-larger sexual size dimorphism in a lizard: IGF1 peak long after sexual maturity overlaps with pronounced growth in males Open
Squamate reptiles have been considered to be indeterminate growers for a long time. However, recent studies demonstrate that bone prolongation is stopped in many lizards by the closure of bone growth plates. This shift in the paradigm of l…

The Genetic Architecture of Intra-Species Hybrid Mito-Nuclear Epistasis Open
Genetic variants that are neutral within, but deleterious between, populations (Dobzhansky-Muller Incompatibilities) are thought to initiate hybrid dysfunction and then to accumulate and complete the speciation process. To identify the typ…
