Green anoles are also found in warm climates throughout North and South America. Often seen in parks and residential areas on walls, fences, trees, and low bushes, green anoles reach a maximum length of six to eight inches. Their bodies are slender, with a long, thin tail. Like true chameleons, green anoles have the ability to change color; this ability is limited in anoles, howevercoloration is usually green, yellow, brown, gray, or a mixture. Most healthy, non-threatened anoles are bright green in appearance. The male anole has a large pink fan of skin on its neck, called a dewlap, which can be extended for courtship or territorial display. Active and agile creatures, anoles have specially adapted pads on their feet which permit them to climb, cling, and run on virtually any surface. Another adaptation of the anole is its extremely fragile tail which drops off its body when grabbed, allowing the anole to escape from predators; in time, the anole will regrow a new (although generally shorter) tail. Anoles feed on small insects such as crickets, cockroaches, spiders, moths, and grubs.

Added 9 June 2001. Last updated 14 September 2001: added several new species including A. acutus A. gingivinus and A. luciae A look at the Genus Anolis - Anole Lizards Family IGUANIDAE [POLYCHROTIDAE] Genus Anolis - Anole Lizards The genus Anolis is one of the largest among lizards or even vertebrates, numbering about 300 species. Although efforts have been made in recent years to break this up, the fairly homogenous form of these lizards would seem to contraindicate this. They are tropical lizards, being found from the southern states of the US to the middle of South America, being especially prevalent in the Caribbean. Anolis lizards belong to the huge family of the Iguanidae. Despite the huge size of the genus, very few of its species are kept in captivity. The Green Anole ( A. carolinensis ) and Brown Anole ( A. sagrei ) are offered fairly often but do not get the attention they deserve, being usually regarded as "beginners'" lizards.

Kinematic studies of arboreal locomotion in Anolis lizards Most studies of locomotion assume that animals occupy flat, broad substrates, but for many arboreal species, such as climbing lizards, this is rarely the case. Rather, their habitat is typically composed of surfaces that vary in both diameter and incline. Thus, one of the central foci of our laboratory is to study how factors related to arboreal habitats (incline, surface diameter) affect locomotor performance. Photo by J. Losos Fig. 1. A trunk-crown anole ( Anolis chlorocyanus ) from Hispaniola. Acceleration One of the on-going areas of research is the study of how surface diameter affects acceleration in Anolis lizards. The ability of animals to accelerate effectively may make the difference between a successful escape and being eaten, but studies of acceleration are few. We are currently applying both a comparative and experimental approach to this subject by both comparing different Anolis lizards from different island systems, as well as manipulating surface diameters within a single species. When comparing different species of Anolis lizards, one expectation is that species that are fast sprinters will also excel at acceleration. Thus, one might expect an evolutionary relationship between maximum speed and maximum ability to accelerate. Within a species, one might also expect that acceleration will diminish when moving on narrow surfaces, but the degree to which acceleration will decline is unclear, and may vary according to the morphological and behavioral characteristics of the species. These and other results from this research will be discussed on this web page later on.

5. Evolution And Dynamics Of Jumping In Anolis Lizards Evolution and dynamics of jumping in anolis lizards. The evolution of jumping performancein Caribbean anolis lizards resolution of a biomechanical tradeoff. http://www.tulane.edu/~irschick/dynamics_jumping.htm

Evolution and dynamics of jumping in Anolis lizards Photograph by E. Toro Jumping is an important means of locomotion for many animal species, but remarkably little is known of the dynamics of jumping in any animal species. Further, few studies have examined the evolution of jumping. Do animals jump at "optimal" angles for jumping? If not, are there important trade-offs in the evolution of jumping that "prevent" some species from jumping at their optimal angles? We are currently investigating these issues by examining a clade of 12 species of Caribbean Anolis lizards that vary dramatically in limb morphology and jumping performance. In addition, these 12 species also vary dramatically in size; thus another question is how different biomechanical jumping variables (e.g., take-off angle, force output) change with size. Recent work (Toro et al. 2003a) showed that the scaling of these jumping variables does not match expectations of any single theoretical scaling model. In addition, another study shows that the average jump angle for these 12 anole species more closely approximates 36 degrees, not 45 degrees, as predicted from previous models (Toro et al. 2003b). This latter work shows that anole species may jump at such "sub-optimal" angles to resolve a biomechanical trade-off between jump angle and flight duration.

Anolis Lizards of the Greater Antilles: Using phylogeny to test hypotheses Written by Jennifer A. Collins Jen's Other Lessons Education Home Lesson Overview: Students "take a trip" to the Greater Antilles to figure out how the Anolis lizards on the islands might have evolved. They begin by observing the body structures and habitat of different species, then plot this data on a map of the islands to look for patterns in their distribution. From the patterns they observe, students develop alternative hypotheses about how these lizards colonized the islands and evolved. To test their hypotheses, they are given a phylogeny which they color code according to their previous data. By combining both types of data, students make a final hypothesis about how they think the lizards colonized the islands. The objectives of this lesson are to teach students how to: Identify patterns in biological data, such as morphological characters (physical features), habitat, and geographical distribution. Form multiple evolutionary hypotheses to explain the patterns they observe. Test their hypotheses using a provided phylogenetic tree/cladogram.
