Study sheds light on biodiversity
of Anole lizard family trees

Summary:
Researchers have sequenced the
complete genetic code -- the genome -- of several vertebrate species from
Panama. They found that changes in genes involved in the interbrain (the site
of the pineal gland and other endocrine glands), for color vision, hormones and
the colorful dewlap that males bob to attract females, may contribute to the
formation of boundaries between species. Genes regulating limb development also
evolved especially quickly.
