Taxonomy & nomenclature
Anolis sagrei information from ITIS
The Integrated Taxonomic Information System ITIS provides authoritative taxonomic information on Anolis sagrei, as well as other plants, animals, fungi, and microbes of North America and the world.
Ecology & life history
The Reproductive Cycle of the Brown Anole (Anolis sagrei), an Introduced Lizard Species in Taiwan
Seven hundred and forty-three brown anoles (Anolis sagrei) were collected in Taiwan and were measured and dissected to determine the reproductive cycle of this invasive species in Taiwan. This study demonstrated that the reproductive cycle of the Anolis sagrei population in Taiwan is long and cyclic, and that it is very similar to that of conspecific populations in Belize, Cuba, Florida, and Hawaii. In view of the potential for A. sagrei taking over new territories, to prevent future introductions of this species, drastic steps are merited. (adapted from the abstract)
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)
