In a collection rich in implications for all fields of ecology,
leading lizard ecologists demonstrate the utility of the
phylogenetic approach in understanding the evolution of morphology,
physiology, behavior, and life histories. Lizards, which are valued
for their amenability to field experiments, have been the subject
of reciprocal transplant experiments and of manipulations of
resource availability, habitat structure, population density, and
entire sections of food webs. Such experiments are rapidly
rebuilding ecological theories as they apply to all organisms. As a
demonstration of state-of-the-art historical and experimental
research and as a call for philosophical engagement, this volume
will join its predecessors--"Lizard Ecology: A Symposium"
(Missouri, 1967) and "Lizard Ecology: Studies of a Model Organism"
(Harvard, 1983)--in directing ecological research for years to
come.
"Lizard Ecology" contains essays on reproductive ecology (Arthur
E. Dunham, Lin Schwarzkopf, Peter H. Niewiarowski, Karen Overall,
and Barry Sinervo), behavioral ecology (A. Stanley Rand, William E.
Cooper, Jr., Emulia P. Martins, Craig Guyer, and C. Michael Bull),
evolutionary ecology (Raymond B. Huey, Jean Clobert et al., Donald
B. Miles, and Theodore Garland, Jr.), and population and community
ecology (Ted Case, Robin M. Andrews and S. Joseph Wright, Craig D.
James, and Jonathan B. Losos).
