The Evolution of Primary Sexual Characters in Animals
Primary sexual traits, those structures and processes directly involved in reproduction, are some of the most diverse, specialized, and bizarre in the animal kingdom. Moreover, reproductive traits are often species-specific, suggesting that they evolved very rapidly. This diversity, long the province of taxonomists, has recently attracted broader interest from evolutionary biologists, especially those interested in sexual selection and the evolution of reproductive strategies. Primary sexual characters were long assumed to be the product of natural selection, exclusively. A recent alternative suggests that sexual selection explains much of the diversity of "primary" sexual characters. A thir...
Handbook of Lizards
The most thorough treatment of lizards of the United States and Canada when first published in 1946, Handbook of Lizards has become a landmark among herpetologists and lizard specialists. Hobart M. Smith spent years compiling and organizing information on 136 species of lizards for this classic study. With more than 300 illustrations, including black-and-white photographs, labeled drawings, range maps, and illustrated keys, this volume serves as a still-relevant and convenient reference guide to the study of North American lizards. Darrel Frost, a prominent lizard specialist, provides a foreword for the 1995 paperback edition that underscores the work's relevance for herpetology today. In th...

A Study of the Teiid Lizards of the Genus Cnemidophorus with Special Reference to Their Phylogenetic Relationships
The genus Cnemidophorus, one of the largest and most important units within the family Teiidae, is a complex assemblage of species, subspecies and phases, which reaches its maximum diversity in North America. The forms here assigned to this genus occur from southern Brazil to the northern United States, both on the mainland and on the closer neighboring islands, thus comprising one of the most widespread and characteristic groups of lizards of the New World.
