... or high quantity of food: low and high diet group, respectively) in adult green anole ( Anolis carolinensis ) females to test the effect of energetic state on hepatic gene expression of IGF1 and IGF2 . The absolute expression of IGF2 in female green anoles was 100 times higher than that of IGF1 regardless...

... ( Anolis carolinensis ). Aggressive behavior was stimulated in two ways: (1) mirror presentation (no relative status formed) and (2) size-matched pairs (where a social status is achieved). To elicit courtship behavior, a novel female was introduced into the home cage of a male. Regardless of the behavior...

... of locomotion. We placed artificial loads equal to 30% body mass on individuals of the species Anolis carolinensis to simulate the mass gain following the consumption of a large meal. We investigated the effects of loading on jump performance (maximum jump distance and accuracy), kinematics and power output...

.... The outgroup Polychrus marmoratus was also examined to gain insight into the ancestral condition. Except for Anolis carolinensis , which is known to use vitamin A 2 as its visual pigment chromophore, all anoline species examined possessed at least four vitamin-A 1 -based visual pigments with maximum absorbance...
