E-mail:[email protected] ABSTRACT.- Three species of Anolis lizards were introduced in this century to Bermuda, an archipelago formerly lacking anoles. A previous study conducted in the early 1960s indicated that A. grahami, the first species introduced, rapidly expanded over almost all of the archipelago. By contrast, the other two species had only attained limited ranges by 1963. I surveyed the extent of range expansion by all three species in 1991 and studied habitat use and behavioral interactions. All three species have been able to expand their ranges into areas occupied by other species, but the rate of range expansion has been relatively slow. The species are ecologically similar, but subtle differences in habitat use exist. Behavioral interactions indicate that A. grahami aggressively responds to conspecifics, displays less aggressively to A. extremus, and flees from the larger A. leachi. Successful colonization requires not only namics is crucial to understanding how com- reaching a site, but being capable of coping suc- munities become more diverse, but study of nat- cessfully with environmental exigencies and ural colonization is difficult due to its haphaz- interacting with native predators, competitors, ard and unpredictable nature.

  • Status and Conservation of the Reptiles and Amphibians of the Bermuda Islands
    Status and conservation of the reptiles and amphibians of the Bermuda islands Jamie P. Bacon1,2, Jennifer A. Gray3, Lisa Kitson1 1 Bermuda Zoological Society, Flatts FL 04, Bermuda 2 Corresponding author; email: [email protected] 3 Bermuda Government Department of Conservation Services, Flatts FL 04, Bermuda Abstract. Bermuda’s herpetofauna includes three species of amphibians, one fossil tortoise, two species of freshwater turtles, five species of marine turtles, and four species of lizards. The amphibians Eleutherodactylus johnstonei, E. gossei and Bufo marinus were all introduced in the late 1880s. Amphibian population declines, including the possible extirpation of E. gossei, prompted the initiation in 1995 of an on-going investigation. Research into the high deformity rates in B. marinus has indicated that survival and development of larvae are affected by contaminants in a number of ponds and by the transgenerational transfer of accumulated contaminants. Of the two emydid turtles in Bermuda, Malaclemys terrapin may be native and its population characteristics are being studied; Trachemys scripta elegans is considered invasive and efforts are underway to remove its populations from the wild. The sizeable resident Chelonia mydas population has been the focus of a mark- recapture study since 1968. Results indicate that Bermuda is currently an important developmental habitat for green turtles originating from at least four different nesting beaches in the Caribbean. Immature Eretmochelys imbricata also reside on the Bermuda Platform and genetics studies suggest that multiple Caribbean genotypes are represented in Bermuda’s hawksbill population. Caretta caretta do not appear to be regular inhabitants, but two known loggerhead nesting events have recently occurred (in 1990 and 2005) and post-hatchling loggerheads regularly strand after winter storms.

This British Overseas Territory enjoys a robust tourist economy thanks to its many natural gifts and legendary place in the lore of both naval and pirate history. Over 70,000 people happily make Bermuda their home, with St. George’s laying claim to the highest population at about 2,000, while the capital of Hamilton is even smaller. A treasure trove of caves (such as the famous Crystal Caves), coves like Horseshoe Bay Beach, and striking seaside strolls are distributed throughout the island. Historical points of interest include The Royal Naval Dockyard, St. Peter’s Church, the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, Fort St. Catherine, Scaur Hill Fort, Admiralty House Park, and Fort Hamilton. The old streets of St. George’s are also well-known as a unique way to learn the story of Bermuda’s history via the legends behind the street names. 4 THE CONCIERGE CAMBRIDGE BEACHES 5 ABOUT US RichUnique with History WELCOME TO A SPECIAL KIND OF PARADISE Lush manicured gardens, intuitive staff and adults-only accommodations that reflect the timeless charm of this 355-year-old property.

  • Sea-To-Sea Sights
    [EB10SightsMain1.doc, Jeff Borg, 3,460 words] Sightseeing Sea-to-Sea Sights On these wondrous little islands, densely packed with old haunts, modern culture and natural beauty, visitors find more sights than anywhere else. Go ahead, tempt the Bermuda Triangle. Although tourists do occasionally go missing around Royal Naval Dockyard, they always reappear — often laden with shopping bags. Inspect the forts built over four centuries, see artefacts from the shipwreck that founded the colony, or climb the cast-iron lighthouse that still blazes a trail. Listen for blithe spirits in countless old houses, courts, and churches. Bermuda is an island-wide architecture tour, with buildings dating to 1620, antiques coming from Europe and furnishings carved from local cedar. Music, art and literature blend their styles from Britain, Africa and the Americas. Bagpipers carry on Scottish traditions, and painters still get inspired by the light. Every hillside, coast and townscape is like a postcard. Commune with Mother Nature on walking tours, in Victorian gardens or along decommissioned railway trails. Count the birds that fill the skies. Peer below the surface at aquariums, on boat tours, or strolling the sea bottom breathing in a helmet. Go underground for a stroll amongst the stalagmites. Nothing beats a personal tour by your own guide who knows the stories and how to tell them. Walks and talks covering any angle of Bermuda are tailored to families, groups and individuals with particular interests. What could be easier than a professionally scheduled family day to make sure everybody has a good time? Ask about Tim Rogers, of Bermuda Lectures & Tours, or Kay Latter, from Byways Bermuda, two well-experienced guides on the islands.

  • Bermuda Basics
    BERMUDA BASICS Bermuda is a self-governing British overseas territory in the Atlantic Ocean north of the Caribbean, off the coast of North America east of North Carolina. It is one of the last remains of the once vast British colonial empire in North America. LOCATION PARISHES Bermuda is divided into nine parishes (from east to west): • St. George's Parish - Encompassing the area around the historic Town of St. George as well as the island of St. David's across its harbor. • Hamilton Parish - Location of Crystal Caves and Bermuda Aquarium and Zoo. • Smith's Parish - Home to Flatts Village, Spittle Pond Nature Preserve and Devil's Hole Aquarium. • Devonshire Parish - The quiet parish. • Pembroke Parish - Where the city of Hamilton is located. • Paget Parish - Numerous resorts, Elbow Beach, Bermuda Botanical Gardens and Paget Marsh for birdwatching. • Warwick Parish - Golf, horseback riding and the island's best cliffs. • Southampton Parish - The best beaches and Gibbs Hill Lighthouse. • Sandys Parish - The Royal Naval Dockyard fortress and shops, but also Somerset Village, Fort Scaur, Gilbert Nature Reserve and some fine beaches. CITIES Bermuda has two incorporated municipalities: one city and one town. There are also unincorporated municipalities (villages). • Hamilton - the capital, and only city. • St. George - the old capital. Oldest surviving English New World town. • Flatts Village - location of the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo. • Somerset Village - on Somerset Island, Sandy's Parish. OTHER DESTINATIONS • Baileys Bay • Horseshoe Bay Beach TOPOGRAPHY Bermuda consists of about 138 islands and islets, with all the major islands aligned on a hook- shaped, but roughly east-west, axis and connected together by road bridges.

Thank you to Dr. Edward Harris of the National Museum of Bermuda for providing a digital version of the Hurd survey, without which this project would have been impossible. I would also like to express gratitude towards those who shared memories and opinions to support the text: Teddy Tucker, Al Demoura, Dr. Thaddeus Murdoch, Edward Harris, Mark Outerbridge, and many others. Thank you to Mandy Shailer of the Bermuda Government Department of Conservation Services for her guidance and help with GIS. Thank you also to Gil Nolan, Dr. Struan Robertson Smith, and Dr. Thaddeus Murdoch for their edits and helpful commentaries. Above all, I would like to thank Lt. Thomas Hurd, for his meticulous charts, which have surprised even the most cynical of scientists with their accuracy, and have provided a glimpse into a part of Bermuda’s history its people have not yet seen. ii Hallett 2010 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ...............................................................................................
