Cyclical Reproduction in Females of the Cuban Lizard Anolis lucius (Polychrotidae)

Herpetologica, 2010
Abstract We describe the gonadal and fat-body cycles and their relationship to environmental factors for Cuban female Anolis lucius (Polychrotidae). We obtained monthly samples of lizards from the karstic caves at Boca de Jaruco, Havana, Cuba. The lizards reached sexual maturity at 45.0 mm snout–vent length and at approximately 7 mo of age.
