Our new paper on landscape epigenetics in anoles is out in Molecular Ecology. Based on 8,459 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 8,580 single methylation variants (SMVs) from eight populations of the Puerto Rican crested anole, Anolis cristatellus, we compared patterns of genetic and epigenetic variation and found evidence for significant epigenetic isolation by environment (IBE), even after controlling for genetic structure. We also detected significant associations between key environmental variables and 96 SMVs, including 42 located in promoter regions or gene bodies.
