Hurricane as an Agent of Natural Selection
Anole is a small lizard that is found in the islands of Caicos and Turks. The lizards are of the Anolis scriptus species and are only found in the two islands. Little is known about the physical appearance and habitat adoption mechanism of the species. Students from Havard University in collaboration with the Paris Natural Museum decided to carry a study to determine the adoption mechanism of the anole lizards to hurricanes common in Turks and Caicos islands. The students collected data about the lizards before and after hurricanes occurred in Water and Pine Cay in Caicos and Turks.
