Evolution 2019: Miscellanea
There have been lots of posts on the many great anole papers and posters at Evolution 2019, but here are a few of the non-scientific anole-related items from the meetings. First, a group of anolologists gathered at Trattoria Zooma on … Continue reading →
SICB 2019: Large Immune Challenges Do Not Decrease Performance
Traveling to SICB is always exciting, but like any trip through crowded airports, hotels, and convention centers, you’re more likely to get sick during your travel if you’re not careful. As we all know, getting a travel-cold (or worse) makes … Continue reading →
SICB 2019: Tail Autotomy Happens More When the Tail Stores More Energy
One of the most interesting features of many lizards, including anoles, is that they can willingly, and actively, lose their tails to escape predators. While it might seem counterintuitive to lose a large body part, it’s better than being eaten! … Continue reading →
Why most Caribbean Anolis species are endemic to a single island?
One of the most interesting patterns in the insular anole radiation is the observation that the majority of species are single-island endemics (150 of out 166 species). This observation in the Caribbean anole lizards has been known from a while … Continue reading →
Anolis sagrei plays dead
In previous post, Hispanioland shows us a picture of the fake dead behavior by Anolis distichus. This year I breed my pair of Anolis sagrei and I have several offsprings. I can see that this behavior is rather common among … Continue reading →

ID Grass anole
Hi anoles enthusiast! It’s a recurrent problem in pet shop, the identification of the animals which are less common. In France a pet shop announce “Anolis hendersoni” for this anole? I need your opinion, in my mind it’s an Anolis … Continue reading →
RODENT STICKY TRAP DOMESTIC ACCIDENT
I have heard of the use of sticky traps for studying lizards, though a colleague told me they seem to be of uncertain safety for anoles, as his recapture records were almost nonexistant. This morning we gave up the “bio-warfare” … Continue reading →
Eye of the tiger green anole
In that classic of American cinema, Rocky III, Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) employed a particularly cunning strategy during the climactic fight with the younger, stronger Clubber Lang (Mr.T): he used his face to repeatedly absorb all of Clubber’s most powerful … Continue reading →
Albino anole
A very rare picture of an albino anole. I searched on a lot of websites, but found no information. The albinos specimens have an life esperance relatively short (the photo shows a just hatched individuals) , either they are eaten … Continue reading →
A Giant’s Snack
Even with their large size, and spending some time in the field, it is somewhat difficult to spot a Giant Anole in Hispaniola. The most spread and common species (at least in the Dominican side) is A. baleatus, which is … Continue reading →
Anole ID help
Hello anole enthusiasts! A friend of mine was in Las Tablas, Puntarenas, Costa Rica, ~1850m and found these guys. They were sleeping on some overhanging roots where the ground had broken off near a cattle pasture. We were wondering about … Continue reading →
Meeting Summary: Anolis Evo-devo and Genomics
The Anolis Gene Nomenclature Committee (AGNC) recently held an open discussion regarding our ongoing efforts to develop Anolis as a model system for integrative biology* and genomics at SICB 2012 in Charlestown, SC. To facilitate further discussion from the community … Continue reading →
Actual Anoles at SICB 2012
There’s more than just anole biologists congregating at the SICB 2012 meeting. To say it’s been cold here in Charleston, SC would be an understatement. Tuesday night, after the conference tipped off, it was 25 degrees Fahrenheit. But today, the … Continue reading →
Things We’d Like to Learn
Last summer I accompanied Martha Muñoz on her trip to the DR. Earlier this month I came to Harvard to present an overview of her study of thermoregulation in the cybotes clade of anoles at various locations and altitudes, and … Continue reading →
Looking Out for the Little Guy
History is full of examples of the little guy getting left behind. Unfortunately, so is the study of anoles. Most anole studies focus on adult lizards, and while there is certainly much to be learned from adult-focused studies, to ignore … Continue reading →

Apologies for the photos that I just linked separately; this is my first time to post to a blog. In any case, those images are good references while reading the rest of this post. History is full of examples of … Continue reading →
