Brown Anole (Anolis sagrei)

2022
This is the species account about the Brown Anole (Anolis sagrei), a chapter in the Reptiles of Ecuador book. This account summarizes novel as well as historical information (recognition, natural history, distribution, conservation, etymology, and relevant literature) about the species and provides maps and images to facilitate identification of this ...

Multisystemic Enterococcosis in Brown Anoles (Anolis sagrei) from Florida, USA

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2023
Beginning in July 2019, numerous free-ranging brown anoles (Anolis sagrei), an invasive lizard species in Florida, USA, were reported with large, soft, subcutaneous masses and disfiguring facial swellings. Postmortem evaluations of six affected animals, including cytology, histology, and electron microscopy, identified the presence of myriad chain ...

Impacts of an invasive species (Anolis sagrei) on social and spatial behaviours of a native congener (Anolis carolinensis)

Animal Behaviour, 2022
Interspecific aggression has important fitness consequences across the animal kingdom and can be especially important during species invasions, where asymmetric interactions between native and invasive species can lead to native species declines. We investigated the immediate behavioural consequences of interspecific interactions for a native species ...

Observer Effects in Anolis sagrei

Journal of Herpetology, 1990
Sugerman and Hacker (1980) presented evidence that collared lizards, Crotaphytus collaris, significantly decreased their activity in response to an observer who was discernible to them. Prior to this finding, the references to the relative timidity of a lizard species were anecdotal rather than based on experimental data (Greenberg, 1978; Jenssen, 1978)

EVOLUTIONARY IMPLICATIONS OF PHENOTYPIC PLASTICITY IN THE HINDLIMB OF THE LIZARDANOLIS SAGREI

Evolution, 2000
Species of Anolis lizards that use broad substrates have long legs, which provide enhanced maximal sprint speed, whereas species that use narrow surfaces have short legs, which permit careful movements. We raised hatchling A. sagrei in terraria provided with only broad or only narrow surfaces.

Anolis Sagrei and Anolis Cristatellus in Southern Florida: A Case Study in Interspecific Competition

Ecology, 1984
This study examined the possibility of interspecific competition between Anolis sagrei and A. cristatellus, two introduced species of lizards that co—occur in the vicinity of Miami, Dade County, Florida. In an area of sympatry, structural habitat use differed significantly between the two species. Comparison of habitat use by sympatric A.

Heat sensitivity of sperm in the lizard Anolis sagrei

Journal of Experimental Biology
ABSTRACT The heat sensitivity of reproduction is a critical determinant of population persistence under climate change. However, the heat sensitivity of gametes has been much less studied relative to that of adults. We developed a method to measure the heat tolerance limits of lizard sperm cells, and used the method to test several ...

TRANSPORT OF HELMINTHS TO HAWAII VIA THE BROWN ANOLE, ANOLIS SAGREI (POLYCHROTIDAE)

Journal of Parasitology, 2000
Sixty-two brown anoles, Anolis sagrei, from Oahu, Hawaii were examined for helminths. Anolis sagrei was introduced to Hawaii, presumably from the Caribbean. Two species of trematodes, Mesocoelium monas and Platynosomum fastosum, 3 species of nematodes, Atractis scelopori, Physaloptera squamatae, and Physocephalus sp., 1 acanthocephalan, Acanthocephalus

Differential admixture shapes morphological variation among invasive populations of the lizard Anolis sagrei

Molecular Ecology, 2007
The biological invasion of the lizard Anolis sagrei provides an opportunity to study evolutionary mechanisms that produce morphological differentiation among non-native populations. Because the A.

Tail Loss and Dominance in Captive Adult Male Anolis sagrei

Journal of Herpetology, 1994
We studied the effects of tail loss on dominance relationships of captive male Anolis sagrei. Densities of free ranging male and female anoles were measured and used to establish the number of individuals to be placed in experimental enclosures. We placed two male and three female brown anoles in each of four outdoor enclosures.
