Related Articles Environmentally induced changes in carotenoid-based coloration of female Lizards: a comment on Vercken et al. J Evol Biol. 2008 Jul;21(4):1165-72; discussion 1160-4 Authors: Cote J, Le Galliard JF, Rossi JM, Fitze PS Colouration may either reflect a discrete polymorphism potentially related to life-history strategies, a continuous signal related to individual quality or a combination of both. Recently, Vercken et al. [J. Evol. Biol. (2007) 221] proposed three discrete ventral colour morphs in female common Lizards, Lacerta vivipara, and suggested that they reflect alternative reproductive strategies. Here, we provide a quantitative assessment of the phenotypic distribution and determinants of the proposed colour polymorphism. Based on reflectance spectra, we found no evidence for three distinct visual colour classes, but observed continuous variation in colour from pale yellow to orange. Based on a 2-year experiment, we also provide evidence for reversible colour plasticity in response to a manipulation of the adult population sex ratio; yet, a significant portion of the colour variation was invariant throughout an adult female's life. Our results are thus in agreement with continuous colour variation in adults determined by environmental factors and potentially also by genetic factors.

Charles Johnson's latest attack is on Andrew Bostom, to show you how ridiculous he's gotten. Earth to Charles: all the Jews (whose side you're supposedly on) have kicked you to the curb, and I think they have a better nose for anti-semitic fascism than you. As we say in Los Angeles, "Get some therapy!" The Jews have all decided that the Muslims are the next Nazis. As Bostom has documented in at least two of his books now, they are - they just have a much longer history. I'll be out here on my "racist" (whatever the hell that means) island with Bostom, Spencer, Diana West, and whoever else you and your little lizard turds want to focus their Five Minutes Hate on at the particular moment. Man, I hate self-loathing white men. ... Source: www.star-telegram.com --- 35 days ago
