High Diversity

Snakes of the genus Tropidophis Bibron, 1840 have undergone an adaptive radiation in Cuba, where 16 out of the 27 Antillean species occur (Hedges 2002). With this high diversity, coexistence of four species is somewhat common (Rodríguez et al. 2013). Coexistence has been hypothesized to be possible due to differences in habitat use based on body shape (Rodríguez-Cabrera et al. 2016). Even with potential segregating echanisms, it is reasonable to expect certain levels of niche overlap. Herein we report three instances of diurnal refuge shared between species of Tropidophis.

Community Evolution

Phytogenies can be useful not only as a means of examining evolutionary hypotheses, but also as a source of hypotheses that can be tested using extant taxa. I illustrate this approach with examples from the study of community evolution in Caribbean Anolis lizards. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that not only are Anolis communities on Jamaica and Puerto Rico convergent in structure, but they have attained their similarity by evolving through a nearly identical sequence of ancestral communities. Examination of the pattern of community evolution suggests that interspecific competition is the driving force behind anole adaptive radiation. This hypothesis can be tested by investigating whether anoles shift their habitat use in the presence of competitors and, if so, whether such shifts lead to morphological adaptation to the new habitat. These hypotheses have been tested experimentally by introducing lizards onto small islands. Preliminary results indicate the existence of ecological interactions among sympatric anoles and that shifts in habitat use are accompanied by microevolutionary changes in morphology.

Use Efficiency

Tomato is in high demand because of its taste and health benefits. In Florida, tomato is the number one vegetable crop in terms of both acreage and value. Because of its high value and wide acreage, it is important for tomato production to be efficient in its water and nutrient use, which may be improved through fertigation practices. Therefore, the objective of this new 7-page article is to disseminate research-based methods of tomato production utilizing fertigation to enhance yield and nutrient use efficiency.
