Taxonomy & nomenclature

Anolis carolinensis information from ITIS
The Integrated Taxonomic Information System ITIS provides authoritative taxonomic information on Anolis carolinensis, as well as other plants, animals, fungi, and microbes of North America and the world.

Impacts

Lizard predation alters the effect of habitat area on the species richness of insect assemblages on Bahamian isles
Anolis lizard invasions are a serious threat world-wide, and information about how this invasive predator affects the diversity of prey assemblages is important for many strategic conservation goals. It is hypothesized that these predators reduce the slope of species--area relationships (SARs) of their prey assemblages. The effects of island area and predation by anolis lizards on the species richness of insular insect assemblages were investigated. The presence of predatory lizards strongly affects species richness of insular insect assemblages with the island area being a crucial determinant of the species richness. Therefore, the slope of the SAR can serve as a measure of the consequence of invasive predatory species on native insect assemblages. (excerpted from the abstract)

Dispersal and pathways

Using pathway analysis to inform prevention strategies for alien reptiles and amphibians View info about Adobe Acrobat PDF format
Analyses of 5,700 introductions of alien reptiles and amphibians worldwide provided pathway information necessary for design of informed prevention programs (F. Krauss, Bishop Museum, Managing Vertebrate Invasive Species: Proceedings of an International Symposium, 2007).
