1. The Invader Of The Month: The Brown Anole, Anolis Sagrei Eight other species of Caribbean anolis lizards have become established around the In fact, over 300 species of anolis lizards are currently recognized http://invasions.bio.utk.edu/invaders/sagrei.html

Male brown anole displaying from perch. T he brown anole is a small Caribbean lizard that colonized south Florida and Mexico about 50-60 years ago, and more recently, Hawaii. At least eight other Caribbean lizards have become established in south Florida, but only the brown anole is expanding its range into other southeastern states. This species is arguably the most abundant terrestrial vertebrate in peninsular Florida, and often reaches densities of more than one individual per square meter in disturbed habitats! The brown anole is thought to be responsible for a dramatic decline of previously stable urban and rural populations of the green anole, the only anole native to the United States. Green anoles often undergo a habitat shift and disappear within a few years after brown anole arrival. The two species are similar in size and overlap considerably in their diets, suggesting dietary resource competition. Predation on green anole hatchlings has also been demonstrated, suggesting that an ecological double-whammy termed "intra-guild predation" (competitors that also eat each other) might better describe the interaction. Despite declines, green anole populations often remain viable in the face of dense brown anole populations when understory vegetation is present, suggesting that suitable cover for hatchlings is important for long-term green anole survival. This illustrates how a powerful synergism between habitat alteration and biological invasions can affect native species.

Last updated September 1999) The primary focus of the Losos Lab is on the behavioral and evolutionary ecology of lizards. Major questions concern how lizards interact with their environment and how lizard clades have diversified evolutionarily. Addressing such questions requires integration of behavioral, ecological, functional morphological, and phylogenetic studies. A major focus has been the evolutionary radiation of Caribbean Anolis lizards, but other lizard radiations are also being studied. A second focus is population dynamics and behavioral ecology of local populations of the collared lizard, Crotaphytus collaris Anolis is the largest amniote genus with approximately 400 described species. Nearly 150 of these species occur in the Caribbean. Two patterns of interest occur on the islands of the Greater Antilles (Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico). First, on any of these islands, anoles are often extremely abundant. At any given spot, one can often easily find 4-6 species (the maximum is 11 at Soroa, Cuba). These species occupy different microhabitats (e.g., one lives on twigs in the trees, another in the grass, a third on tree trunk near the ground, and each is morphologically and behaviorally different. For example, twig anoles tend to be slender with short legs and tails, whereas the trunk-ground anoles are stocky, with long legs and poorly developed toepads. In all, six such habitat specialists are recognized, termed "ecomorphs" and named for the part of the habitat they occupy.

Sunday, May 8, 2005 Children Help Us To Find More Lizards! UWI Today Home by Dr. Adrian Hailey, Department of Life Sciences Anolis wattsi female The small lizards of the genus Anolis are perhaps the most characteristic animals of the West Indies, typically seen perching head-down on tree trunks. There are no generally accepted common names for these lizards in Trinidad and Tobago; they are not closely related to the ‘zandolie’ or common ground lizard ( Ameiva ameiva ). Worldwide there are about 300 species of Anolis , about half of them in the West Indies, the other half in Central and South America. Most small Caribbean islands have one or two species, increasing on larger islands. Jamaica has 7 species, and Cuba and Hispaniola have more than 35 species each. Population densities are greatest in the West Indies, reaching up to one lizard per square metre on many islands. These lizards do less well on the mainland where there is increased competition and predation from birds, and densities are much lower. Trinidad and Tobago originally had few Anolis lizards because these are continental shelf islands once linked to South America, unlike most of the West Indies which are oceanic islands that have never been attached to the mainland. The animals and plants of Trinidad and Tobago are much more similar to South America than they are to the rest of the Caribbean, and this pattern includes the
