This study examines genomic features of Anolis lizards to identify structural rearrangements, repeat elements, and selection signatures linked to phenotypic diversity.

The paper integrates genomic, morphological, climatic, and behavioral data to show that behavioral flexibility constrains phenotypic divergence despite deep genomic differentiation in desert lizards.

The paper identifies genes under positive selection in desert tortoises linked to reproductive isolation mechanisms and environmental adaptation.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for Sceloporus undulatus and evaluates its utility for genomic analysis across related species.

The paper assembles and annotates the transcriptome of the eastern fence lizard, providing a resource for studying adaptation and genomic research in reptiles.
