New Paper: Hierarchical partitioning of multiple niche dimensions among ecomorphs, species and sexes in Puerto Rican anoles

Cool new paper on resource use in Puerto Rico anole lizards with Drs. Ingram and Losos. We examined variation in structural microhabitat, thermal habitat, and prey use in an assemblage of six anoles belonging to three ecomorph categories in a Puerto Rico. Our analysis largely corroborates existing hypotheses that anole adaptive radiation and community assembly is predictable with clear structural habitat divergence among ecomorphs, and secondary divergence within ecomorphs (i.e., among species) using different climatic niches. The hierarchical approach we employ presents opportunities for a comparative approach to understanding how ecological diversity is partitioned within communities.
