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.

Taste Discrimination in a Lizard (Anolis carolinensis,Polychrotidae)

Copeia, 2001
Abstract The question of whether lizards possess a sense of taste and are able to use it to discriminate between prey items has been debated in the literature for several decades. This study provides evidence that some lizards indeed do use gustation to discriminate between prey items.

Helminths of Six Species of Anolis Lizards (Polychrotidae) from Hispaniola, West Indies

The Journal of Parasitology, 1998
From Hispaniola, an island in the West Indies, 6 species of anoles, Anolis cristatellus, Anolis etheridgei, Anolis eugenegrahami, Anolis hendersoni, Anolis monticola, and Anolis olssoni were examined for helminths. Helminths representing 2 species of trematodes, Mesocoelium monas and Urotrema scabridum; 1 species of cestode, Oochoristica maccoyi; 11 ...

Four New Coccidia (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) from Anoles (Lacertilia: Polychrotidae) in the Dominican Republic

The Journal of Parasitology, 1995
Fecal samples from 25 Anolis armouri, 2 Anolis bahorucoensis, 48 Anolis cybotes, and 21 Anolis olssoni (Lacertilia: Polychrotidae) from southern Hispaniola were examined for coccidian oocysts. Two eimerians and 2 isosporans are herein described as new species. Sporulated oocysts of Eimeria schwartzi n. sp. from A. armouri are ellipsoidal, 22.7 (20.8-25.

Communal Nesting in the Anoline Lizard Norops lionotus (Polychrotidae) in Central Panama

The Southwestern Naturalist, 2011
Abstract We examined nesting in Norops lionotus to describe nesting sites and to determine if nesting aggregations were by multiple females or repeated deposition of eggs by the same female. We also described eggs during incubation and the subsequent hatchlings. We collected eggs from nests along streams at Omar Torrijos National Park in central Panama

A New Species of Anolis (Squamata: Polychrotidae) from Chiapas, Mexico

Journal of Herpetology, 1996
A new species of Anolis with smooth midventral scales is described from the southernmost ridge of the Northern Highlands of Chiapas physiographic region, Chiapas, Mexico. The new species is a medium-sized anole with most of the diagnostic characters of the A. schiedii group.

Winter Growth and Sex Ratio of a Northern Population of Anolis carolinensis (Sauria: Polychrotidae)

Copeia, 2003
Abstract Anolis carolinensis (Sauria: Polychrotidae) does not hibernate, and in an East Tennessee population near the northern limit of its geographic range, individuals aggregate on a south-facing rock bluff and are active throughout the winter. During the winters of 1998–1999 and 1999–2000, we obtained data on body size (snout–vent length and mass ...

Anoles of St. Vincent (Squamata: Polychrotidae): Population Densities and Structural Habitat Use

Caribbean Journal of Science, 2008
We examined population densities and structural microhabitat use by Anolis griseus and A. trinitatis at eight sites on the leeward (western) coast of St. Vincent, West Indies. Estimates of population density based on the Schnabel method varied according to habitat complexity and ranged to 5,208/ha for A.

Ecology of the lizard Norops oxylophus (Polychrotidae) in lowland forest of southeastern Nicaragua

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1995
The lizard Norops oxylophus used a variety of microhabitats distributed linearly along streams in southeastern Nicaragua. Body temperatures averaged 27.8 °C and lizards typically were in shade. Lizards spent 98.16% of their time stationary and 1.84% moving. The rate of movement was low (0.001 m∙s−1) even when corrected for time not moving (0.071 m∙s−1)

Two new species of anoles of the Norops crassulus group from Honduras (Reptilia: Sauria: Polychrotidae)

Amphibia-Reptilia, 1999
Abstract Two new species of anoles of the Norops crassulus group are described from Honduras. Both are distinguished from all other species of the genus Norops by unique characteristics of scale morphology and meristics, limb proportions, and male dewlap coloration.
