		His mother, Carolyn Losos, A.B. '54 and an Arts and Sciences National Council member, was reluctant to have an alligator—or one of its near relations—in her home, but she deferred the question to Charles Hoessle, a friend of Losos' father.
		This fall Losos is teaching the new Freshman Seminar in Environmental Studies, as well as co-teaching an earth and planetary sciences course on dinosaurs, which is cross-listed in environmental studies, for nonmajors.
		Losos is designing new research studies to examine whether the degree of adaptation observed among Anolis lizards also applies to species in Africa, the southwestern United States, and among isolated populations right near St. Louis.

	Organization for Tropical Studies Names New President
		Losos comes to OTS from the Smithsonian Institution’s Center for Tropical Forestry Science, where she directs an international forest research network working in 14 countries on four continents.
		Losos takes over the helm of OTS from Donald Stone, a Duke University professor emeritus in botany, who was the executive director of OTS from 1976 to 1996 and interim CEO since 2003.
		Losos holds a doctorate in biology from Princeton University and a master’s degree in public affairs from the same school.

	Study illustrates diversification, speciation in biological "islands"
		Jonathan B. Losos, Ph.D., associate professor of biology in Arts and Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, proved this species-area relationship in a study of 143 species of Caribbean Anolis lizards on 147 islands.
		Losos, and co-author Dolph Schluter, Ph.D., professor of biology at the University of British Columbia, published these results in the Dec. 14, 2000 issue of Nature.
		Losos and Schluter’s results complement the well-known "Equilibrium Theory of Island Biogeography," proposed in 1967 by the late Robert MacArthur of Princeton University and E.O. Wilson of Harvard University.

	Record - February 1, 2002
		Losos asked Gibson-Brown if he would be interested in joining a team in a proposal to the Packard Foundation.
		There is not much genetic difference between humans and chimpanzees, Losos explained, but biologists agree that the big difference between the two is that somehow there have been changes in genes that affect the developmental process so that the outcome during development is a different organism.
		Losos and his University collaborators have a lot of evolutionary data on the lizards to launch this study and now a cadre of outstanding developmental and evolutionary biologists to make significant inroads.

	Caribbean lizard study yields key new findings about evolution
		Losos and his colleagues examined the DNA of 56 species of anole lizards found in Puerto Rico, Cuba, Jamaica and the Greater Antilles.
		Losos and his colleagues developed the family tree to test two theories on how the lizards evolved.
		In Science, Losos and his colleagues report that the anole evolutionary tree shows the habitat specialists from the different islands are not closely related genetically, despite exact similarities in their physical traits.

		In the Intermediaire Freestyle, the panel of five international judges rewarded Losos de Muñiz with a mark of 72.23% that allowed her to finish as the runner-up when less than half a percentage point separated her from Holsters, the eventual winner.
		During the second week of competition, held March 11-14, Losos de Muñiz was third in the Prix St. Georges with 67.66% and sixth in the Intermediaire I with 67.83%.
		Losos de Muñiz also made her international debut contesting the Olympic level of Grand Prix during the CDI*** Sunshine Tour.

		Losos measured the length of their hind legs, and, as he and colleagues Ken Warheit and Schoener report in the May 1 issue of Nature, a consistent pattern emerged.
		But, Losos suggests, such minute anatomical adjustments may be the first baby steps that an anole population would take on its way to becoming a new species.
		Losos is currently seeking the answer with anoles of the same species from Florida, which are being raised at the St. Louis Zoo on perches of different diameter.

		The panel of five international judges rewarded Losos de Muñiz with a mark of 72.23% that allowed her to finish as the runner-up when less than half a percentage point separated her from Holsters, the eventual winner.
		However, as Losos de Muñiz was competing at the Grand Prix level for the first time, she not expecting to be among the top 12 from such a large field of internationally experienced competitors and did not have a Freestyle program prepared.
		Losos de Muñiz will continue to compete in Europe, with her next competition being at CDI* Olfen, Germany, from April 16-18 followed by the CDIO Saumur, France, from April 30-May 2.

		Were this is case, one could argue that it is not adaptation to environment that brings about similar ecotypes amongst the species but rather a fulfillment of the natural evolutionary progression of the Anole leading to its culmination of four specific ecotypes.
		Losos and colleagues argue that this is not the case, citing examples of species that are not among the noted ecomorhpic classes.
		Losos and colleagues suggest that the lack of importance of historical contingency on this experiment may be related to the setting of the test.

	Stephen Caesar's Articles
		Jonathan Losos, professor of biology at Washington University and director of the Tyson Research Center, has studied tree anoles (Caribbean lizards) and witnessed unquestionable microevolution, as anoles' feet and leg size changed when they were introduced to new kinds of tree branches.
		Since, according to Losos, "[e]volution most often occurs over timescales humans cannot experience," he assumed that the microevolution he witnessed was "a tiny window" into an eons-long macroevolutionary process (Losos 2001: 67).
		Losos stated that phenotypic plasticity "could even result in individuals that are genetically identical.

		In 2002, Losos de Mu`F1iz and Inatana Las Marismas were members of the Bronze Medal Team at the inaugural 2002 FEI Championship of the Americas held in Blainville, QC, and also claimed Team Bronze and Individual Gold Medals at the 2002 Central American Games.
		Following the retirement of Inatana Las Marismas, Losos de Muniz will be concentrating on the development of the newly-acquired Bernstein DVH 696, a nine-year-old chestnut Hannoverian stallion by the Trakehner sire, Banditentraum, who won the Intermediaire I in his first outing with Losos de Muniz.
		Losos de Muniz also has two yearling foals from Inatana Las Marismas daughter and granddaughter that she hopes will, one day, continue the mare’s legacy in the international dressage arena.

		Losos de Muñiz again came out on top in the following day's Intermediare I competition, this time with a score of 72.25%.
		In the Intermediare Freestyle where riders choreograph required movements to the music of their choice, Losos de Muñiz dominated, earning an incredibly high score of 76.63% to easily claim the victory over her closest competitor, Shawna Harding riding Kestrel, who scored 71.50%.
		Losos de Muñiz's world-class score is even more incredible considering that it was the first time she had performed her recently designed Freestyle in competition.

	Lizards Help Explain Survival of the Not-So-Fittest
		Losos and his colleagues wanted to settle a debate over whether species can prevent natural selection by changing their own behavior.
		They might move into the trees and out of reach of the curly-tails, or they might begin to "select" for larger, harder-to-eat bodies—meaning that smaller anoles would be eaten, with the result that future generations of anoles would be larger than previous generations.
		Losos' research was supported in part by a grant from the National Geographic Society's Committee for Research and Exploration.

		Losos and his colleagues performed the evaluating the introduction a long-legged species of lizard from Staniel Cay to 14 small, lizard less islands in the Bahamas.
		Losos felt that they could use this information to forecast the transition of the long-legged lizards of the heavily wooded Staniel Cay to a short-legged variety due to the islands' limited vegetation.
		Losos claimed that this study was a macro-evolutionary event and suggested that, "macro evolution may just be micro evolution writ large." The article noted that evolutionary change is assessed in units called darwins.

		The primary focus of the Losos Lab is on the behavioral and evolutionary ecology of lizards.
		Because faunas are often composed of closely related species, they are often more amenable to investigations that trace patterns of evolutionary change and understand the processes responsible.
		Losos, along with several colleagues, is using molecular and morphological approaches in parallel to elucidate anole relationships.

		To test this hypothesis, biologists Jonathan B. Losos of Washington University and Dolph Schluter of the University of British Columbia studied 143 species of Anolis lizards (right) on 147 islands in the Caribbean, concentrating on the four largest--Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica and Puerto Rico.
		Using a DNA-based family tree of the lizards, they estimated the numbers of immigration and speciation events that had taken place on the islands.
		Intriguingly, though, Losos and Schluter only found within-island speciation on islands larger than 3,000 square kilometers.

		Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic – In the race for individual medals, Canada’s Leslie Reid has maintained her lead in the dressage competition at the 2003 Pan American Games followed by Dominican Republic’s Yvonne Losos de Muñiz who is right on track for a silver medal.
		Santo Domingo’s own Yvonne Losos de Muñiz kept herself on track for an individual silver medal with another strong performance aboard Inatana Las Marismas, her 13-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare, despite the fact that the mare had been sick earlier in the day.
		The 2003 Pan American Games mark the first time the Dominican Republic has fielded a dressage team, meaning a medal won by Losos de Muñiz would be the first ever for the Dominican Republic in the sport of equestrian.
