Clinging performance on natural substrates predicts habitat use in anoles and geckos
<p>1. For arboreal lizards, the ability to cling or adhere to the substrate is critical for locomotion during prey capture, predator escape, thermoregulation, and social interactions. Thus, selection on traits related to clinging is likely strong. </p> <p>2. Correlations between morphology, performance, and habitat use have been documented in arboreal lizards, providing a framework for using functional traits to predict habitat use in the field.</p> <p>3. We tested the hypothesis that clinging performance predicts habitat use in an actively assembling community of introduced lizards in Hawaiʻi comprised of anoles (<i>Anolis carolinensis, A. sagrei</i>) and day geckos (<i>Phelsuma laticauda</i>).</p> <p>4. We measured morphological traits (toepad area and lamellae number) and tested clinging performance on two artificial and eight natural substrates in the lab. We measured habitat use in 10 m x 10 m outdoor enclosures where habitat availability was controlled and the lizard species assemblage was manipulated to reflect all species combinations. The enclosure experiment generated more than 9,000 habitat use observations from 360 lizards.</p> <p>5. Morphological traits that predict performance in <i>Anolis </i>were not predictive in <i>Phelsuma</i>, indicating that direct measures of performance are necessary for comparisons between the genera.</p> <p>6. Measuring clinging performance on multiple substrates provided key insights into patterns of habitat use. While all three species performed best on an artificial smooth substrate (acrylic), performance on natural substrates predicted which texture (rough vs. smooth) was most often used by each species. </p> <p>7. Performance predicted perch height use: species with the greatest clinging performance (<i>A. carolinensis </i>and <i>P. laticauda</i>) across substrates perched twice as high as <i>A. sagrei</i>.</p> <p>8. We did not observe habitat shifts in the height or texture of perches used by any species in response to experimental manipulation of the lizard species assemblage.</p> <p>9. Our results highlight the inextricable link between ecology, morphology, and performance, the importance of measuring functional traits in ecologically-relevant ways, and the potential for resource partitioning to be influenced by differences in the ability to attach to different substrates. </p>

Evolution of habitat preference in 243 species of Bent-toed geckos (Genus Cyrtodactylus Gray, 1827) with a discussion of karst habitat conservation
Ancestral state reconstructions of nine different habitat preferences across a phylogeny composed of 76% of the gekkonid genus <i>Cyrtodactylus</i> recover a general habitat preference as being ancestral to all other habitat preferences. The data show that <i>Cyrtodactylus</i> composes an ecologically labile group of species and the frequency of transitioning from a general habitat preference to anything more specialized occurs nearly four times more often than the reverse. Species showing extreme morphological and/or ecological specializations appear to be evolutionary dead ends that do not give rise to species bearing other habitat preferences. Habitat preferences have not evolved randomly across the genus but are generally restricted to clades that tend to occur in specific geographic regions. The largest radiations in the genus occur in rocky habitats (granite and karst), indicating that the transition from a general habitat preference to a granite or karst-dwelling life style is ecologically uncomplicated. Two large, unrelated clades of karst-associated species are centered in northern Indochina and the largest clade of granite-associated species occurs on the Thai-Malay Peninsula. Smaller, independent radiations of clades bearing other habitat preferences occur throughout the tree across the broad distribution of the genus from South Asia to the Western Pacific. With the exception of a general habitat preference, the data show that karst-associated species outnumber all others (28% versus 0.4–10%, respectively) and the common reference to karstic regions as "imperiled arcs of biodiversity" is not only misleading but potentially dangerous. Karstic regions are not simply refugia harboring the remnants of local biodiversity but are foci of speciation that continue to generate the most speciose, independent, radiations across the genus. Unfortunately, karstic landscapes are some of the most imperiled and least protected habitats on the planet and these data continue to underscore the urgent need for their conservation.

Figure 1 - Maximum Likelihood tree inferred from 664 bp of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene, showing the differentiation between Paroedura species. Note that this single-gene tree is not suitable to reconstruct the basal relationships of these geckos but is rather shown to document the large genetic divergences among all of them, and of Paroedura hordiesi to its relatives. Numbers behind species names are sample numbers as given in Nagy et al. (2012) and Koubová et al. (2014), as well as GenBank accession numbers of the respective sequences.
