To cool or not to cool? Intestinal coccidians disrupt the behavioral hypothermia of lizards in response to tick infestation by Megía-Palma, R., Paranjpe, D., Blaimont, P., Cooper, R., Sinervo, B.

“…It is generally accepted that parasites exert negative effects on their hosts and that natural selection favors specific host responses that mitigate this…”

Behavioral Drive versus Behavioral Inertia in Evolution: A Null Model Approach by Huey, Raymond B., Hertz, Paul E., Sinervo, B.

“…Some biologists embrace the classical view that changes in behavior inevitably initiate or drive evolutionary changes in other traits, yet others note that…”

An experimental test of frequency-dependent selection on male mating strategy in the field by Bleay, C, Comendant, T, Sinervo, B

“…predictions that were derived from previous empirical and theoretical observations on this system. We found that the frequency-dependent nature of male fitness…”

Colour variation and alternative reproductive strategies in females of the common lizard Lacerta vivipara by VERCKEN, E., MASSOT, M., SINERVO, B., CLOBERT, J.

“…Within‐sex colour variation is a widespread phenomenon in animals that often plays a role in social selection. In males, colour variation is typically…”

The rock-paper-scissors game and the evolution of alternative male strategies by Sinervo, B, Lively, C. M

“…The application of an evolutionary stable strategy model to a three-morph mating system in the side-blotched lizard is reported. The model predicted…”

Spatial memory: are lizards really deficient? by LaDage, L. D., Roth, T. C., Cerjanic, A. M., Sinervo, B., Pravosudov, V. V.

“…In many animals, behaviours such as territoriality, mate guarding, navigation and food acquisition rely heavily on spatial memory abilities; this has been…”

Corticosterone manipulation reveals differences in hierarchical organization of multidimensional reproductive trade-offs in r-strategist and K-strategist females by LANCASTER, L.T, HAZARD, L.C, CLOBERT, J, SINERVO, B.R

“…Life history trade-offs are often hierarchical with decisions at one level affecting lower level trade-offs. We investigated trade-off structure in female…”

The Evolution of Alternative Reproductive Strategies: Fitness Differential, Heritability, and Genetic Correlation Between the Sexes by Sinervo, B., Zamudio, K. R.

“…Paternity analyses using molecular markers have become standard in studies of mating systems, parentage, and kinship. In systems where individuals exhibit…”

Colour variation in female common lizards: why we should speak of morphs, a reply to Cote et al by VERCKEN, E, SINERVO, B, CLOBERT, J

“…Female common lizards display variation in their ventral colour, ranging from pale yellow to bright orange. In a previous study, we proposed a discrete…”

Physiological Epistasis, Ontogenetic Conflict and Natural Selection on Physiology and Life History by Sinervo, Barry, Calsbeek, Ryan

“…Ontogenetic conflict arises when optima for alleles governing fitness variation differ between juveniles and adults or between adult sexes. Loci that govern…”
