Where are they found in Florida? What do they look like? How can I help? You came to the right coloring book, my friend! These questions and so many more can be answered by grabbing some crayons and turning the page. Things you will need: Your favorite coloring utensils Thinking cap 3 What is an INVASIVE SPECIES ??? An invasive species is a plant or animal that is moved from its native area to another and causes economic or environmental harm to the new area. There are 6 main ways a plant or animal can move from its native home to a non-native area: 1. Biological control: moved by humans to help control other animals 2. Hitchhike: catches a free ride on cars, boats, or planes 3. Food: Some people eat frog legs or other animal parts 4. Plant trade: hiding in a plant is a sneaky way to travel 5. Pet Trade: people want animals they can’t find in their backyard 6. Intentional: Someone brought it for some specific reason For many invasive reptiles and amphibians in Florida, the animals came through the pet trade. 4 Brown Anole Anolis sagrei This is a Cuban Brown Anole! The brown anole is originally from Cuba, but came to Florida when it hitched a ride on some cargo.

  • Force Measurement of Basilisk Lizard Running on Water by Andrew
    Force Measurement of Basilisk Lizard Running on Water by Andrew Sweeney A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Master of Science Approved April 2019 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Hamidreza Marvi, Chair David Lentink Hyunglae Lee ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2019 ABSTRACT Basilisk lizards are often studied for their unique ability to run across the surface of water. Due to the complicated fluid dynamics of this process, the forces applied on the water's surface cannot be measured using traditional methods. This thesis presents a novel technique of measuring the forces using a fluid dynamic force platform (FDFP), a light, rigid box immersed in water. This platform, along with a motion capture system, can be used to characterize the kinematics and dynamics of a basilisk lizard running on water. This could ultimately lead to robots that can run on water in a similar manner. i This research was supported by the Fulton Masters Opportunity for Research in Engineering. It also would not have been possible without resources and support from the Bio-Inspired Robotics Technology and Healthcare Lab. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF TABLES . iv LIST OF FIGURES . v CHAPTER 1 Introduction. 1 1.1 Motivation and Overview. 1 1.2 Characteristics of the Basilisk Lizard . 4 1.3 Animal Water Running . 5 1.4 Physics of Water Running . 6 1.5 Robotic Water Running . 8 2 Objectives . 11 3 Experimental Setup and Discussion . 12 3.1 Design of Experimental Setup . 12 3.2 Fabrication of Experimental Setup . 19 3.3 Frequency Testing .

ISSN 1836-5779 (Online) New Bluetongue Lizard and Sailfin Dragon Lizard taxa from Indonesia (Squamata:Sauria). RAYMOND T. HOSER 488 Park Road, Park Orchards, Victoria, 3114, Australia. Phone: +61 3 9812 3322 Fax: 9812 3355 E-mail: snakeman (at) snakeman.com.au Received 10 November 2013, Accepted 6 March 2014, Published 30 August 2014. ABSTRACT The Indonesian Bluetongued Skinks (Genus Tiliqua Gray, 1825) and the Indonesian Sailfined Dragon Lizards (Genus Hydrosaurus Kaup, 1828) are common in captivity and have been subjected to extensive studies. Notwithstanding the publication of several major taxonomic revisions of both groups, there has been ongoing taxonomic confusion spanning many years. This has not been properly resolved by the most recent publications. This paper seeks to remove ongoing taxonomic instability by formally naming obvious and yet unnamed taxa from Indonesia for the first time. The urgency of these actions is underscored by the combined effects of habitat destruction and increased interest in these taxa by traders and collectors. In terms of the latter, it is important that regional lineages be maintained should there arise a need to reintroduce species into the wild at a later date.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Currently three different species are recognized within the Southeast Asian agamid genus Hydrosaurus: H. amboinensis (Schlosser, 1768) from Ambon, Seram, Sulawesi and New Guinea, H. pustulatus (Eschscholtz, 1829) from the Philippines and H. weberi Barbour, 1911 from Halmahera and adjacent islands. Historically, two additional species were described from the island of Sulawesi, but were synonymized with H. amboinensis more than a century ago and have been treated as such in most subsequent publications. In order to revise the taxonomy and diversity of these enigmatic agamid lizards, we examined the corresponding type specimens and additional material originating from Sulawesi and compared them to photographs of live specimens from field trips. Due to differences in colour pattern and scalation characters, we resurrect the taxa celebensis Peters, 1872 and microlophus Bleeker, 1860 from the synonymy of H.

To date, no comprehensive agency-wide inventory of amphibian and reptile species has been compiled. We developed an amphibian and reptile species inventory for 415 DoD installations/sites and evaluated species diversity. The amphibian and reptile species confrmed present on DoD sites represent 66% of the total native species documented in the continental U.S. Snakes are the most widespread group found on DoD lands. Of the military services, Army sites have the greatest number of confrmed species, federally listed, state-listed, and At-risk species.
