Those darn faux anole day geckos are out-cuting our boys again. The title of this post is self-explanatory, but the link to anoles isn’t completely tenuous–the gene that encodes for taste receptors that are sensitive to sweet things isn’t posssessed by all animals (e.g., cats lack it), but it has been found in the anole genome and, Matthew Cobb guesses based on this video, in geckos as well.
Professor of Biology and Director of the Living Earth Collaborative at Washington University in Saint Louis. I've spent my entire professional career studying anoles and have discovered that the more I learn about anoles, the more I realize I don't know.
