It is time for a new classification of anoles (Squamata: Dactyloidae)

This taxonomy eliminates problems of paraphyly inherent in previous classifications by elevating eight majorlineages to generic status, providing diagnoses of those genera, and then doing the same for species groups within each genus, and appears to provide a stable classification for at least 95% of the 387 species currently recognized.
Ontology of areas of endemism
- B. Crother, Christopher M. Murray
- Environmental Science, Philosophy
- 1 June 2011
It is suggested that areas of endemism should be the preferred units of biogeography over the units used in event-based methods and that parsimony analysis of Endemism and similar methods may be operational tools for the discovery of areas ofendemism.
Evolution of the germ line-soma relationship in vertebrate embryos.

- 1 March 2011
It is proposed that the selective advantage that drives the emergence of germ plasm in vertebrates is the disengagement of germ line specification from somatic influences, which liberates the evolution of gene regulatory networks that govern somatic development, and thereby enhances species evolvability, a well-recognized selective advantage.
Elevational Patterns of Species Richness, Evenness, and Abundance of the Costa Rican Leaf-Litter Herpetofauna

The abundance, species richness, and evenness of the Costa Rican leaf-litter herpetofauna was estimated during the late wet season of 1985 by quantitative sampling of replicate plots at ten sites…

Expression of Dazl and Vasa in turtle embryos and ovaries: evidence for inductive specification of germ cells
- R. Bachvarova, B. Crother, Andrew D. Johnson
- BiologyEvolution & development
- 1 September 2009
Phylogenetic analysis of the available evidence strongly suggests that turtles, and other reptiles with the same location of PGCs in embryos, use the inductive mode of germ cell specification.
PHYLOGENY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF THE LIZARD FAMILY XANTUSIIDAE
- B. Crother, M. Miyamoto, W. Presch
- Biology
- 1 March 1986
The phylogeny differs from the accepted view of xantusiid relationships in suggesting that Lepidophyma should be transferred from the subfamily Xantus iinae to the Cricosaurinae, and a vicariance model for the distribution of theXantusia-Klauberina clade is proposed.
