  • Multi-National Conservation of Alligator Lizards
    MULTI-NATIONAL CONSERVATION OF ALLIGATOR LIZARDS: APPLIED SOCIOECOLOGICAL LESSONS FROM A FLAGSHIP GROUP by ADAM G. CLAUSE (Under the Direction of John Maerz) ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is defined by unprecedented human influence on the biosphere. Integrative conservation recognizes this inextricable coupling of human and natural systems, and mobilizes multiple epistemologies to seek equitable, enduring solutions to complex socioecological issues. Although a central motivation of global conservation practice is to protect at-risk species, such organisms may be the subject of competing social perspectives that can impede robust interventions. Furthermore, imperiled species are often chronically understudied, which prevents the immediate application of data-driven quantitative modeling approaches in conservation decision making. Instead, real-world management goals are regularly prioritized on the basis of expert opinion. Here, I explore how an organismal natural history perspective, when grounded in a critique of established human judgements, can help resolve socioecological conflicts and contextualize perceived threats related to threatened species conservation and policy development. To achieve this, I leverage a multi-national system anchored by a diverse, enigmatic, and often endangered New World clade: alligator lizards. Using a threat analysis and status assessment, I show that one recent petition to list a California alligator lizard, Elgaria panamintina, under the US Endangered Species Act often contradicts the best available science.

  • Chameleons Or Anoles ? by Roy W
    147 Chameleons or Anoles ? By Roy W. Rings When I was about twelve years old I saw my first “chameleon” at the Ringling Brothers Circus in Columbus, Ohio. The man selling the brilliant, green “chameleons” had a large display board, covered in bright green cloth, and a sign which said “Chameleons – 25c”. On the board were a lot of small, green lizards held in place by a thread necklace and a small safety pin. My dad, a Columbus policeman, bought me one and I became the proud owner of really, exotic pet. The next day I showed all my friends the latest addition to my personal pet collection of a dog, four white rats and a box turtle. Next, I made a small cage in which to keep the pulled off one wing so they could not fly away. My clumsy efforts to provide them with food were insufficient to meet their needs and they didn’t survive very long. However, this experience honed my curiosity about lizards and other reptiles. I experimented with different background colors to watch the response of my new pet. I discovered that it could change from green to brown and gray and back to green to roughly match the shade upon which it was resting. Nineteen years later I encountered my first wild Anolis extremus chameleon in Pascagoula, Mississippi, where I was stationed as an Army entomologist in World War II. My wife and I would occasionally see these tree lizards, hanging upside down, outside our kitchen window screen. Apparently, they were attracted to the kitchen screen by the flies which gathered there in hopes of sharing our dinner.

  • Chamaeleolis” Species Group from Eastern Cuba
    Acta Soc. Zool. Bohem. 76: 45–52, 2012 ISSN 1211-376X Anolis sierramaestrae sp. nov. (Squamata: Polychrotidae) of the “chamaeleolis” species group from Eastern Cuba Veronika Holáňová1,3), Ivan REHÁK2) & Daniel FRYNTA1) 1) Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, Viničná 7, CZ–128 43 Praha 2, Czech Republic 2) Prague Zoo, U Trojského zámku 3, CZ–171 00 Praha 7, Czech Republic 3) Corresponding author: e-mail: [email protected] Received 10 February 2012; accepted 16 April 2012 Published 15 August 2012 Abstract. A new species of anole, Anolis sierramaestrae sp. nov., belonging to the “chamaeleolis” species group of the family Polychrotidae, is described from the mountain region in the vicinity of La Mula village, Santiago de Cuba province, Cuba. The species represents the sixth so far known species of the “chamaeleolis” species group. It resembles Anolis chamaeleonides Duméril et Bibron, 1837, but differs markedly in larger body size, long and narrow head shape, higher number of barb-like scales on dewlap, small number of large lateral scales on the body and dark-blue coloration of the eyes. Key words. Taxonomy, new species, herpetofauna, Polychrotidae, Chamaeleolis, Anolis, Great Antilles, Caribbean, Neotropical region. INTRODUCTION False chameleons of the genus Anolis Daudin, 1802 represent a highly ecologically specialized and morphologically distinct and unique clade endemic to Cuba Island (Cocteau 1838, Beuttell & Losos 1999, Schettino 2003, Losos 2009). This group has been traditionally recognized as a distinct genus Chamaeleolis Cocteau, 1838 due to its multiple derived morphological, eco- logical and behavioural characters. Recent studies discovering the cladogenesis of anoles have placed this group within the main body of the tree of Antillean anoles as a sister group of a small clade consisting of the Puerto Rican species Anolis cuvieri Merrem, 1820 and hispaniolan A.

  • Fitness Implications of the Mating System and Reproductive Ecology of Tuatara
    Fitness Implications of the Mating System and Reproductive Ecology of Tuatara Jennifer Ann Moore A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology and Biodiversity Victoria University of Wellington Te Whare Wānanga o te Ūpoko o te Ika a Māui 2008 No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens. Abraham Lincoln i Abstract Sexual selection and reproductive strategies affect individual fitness and population genetic diversity. Long-standing paradigms in sexual selection and mating system theory have been overturned with the recent integration of behavioural and genetic techniques. Much of this theory is based on avian systems, where a distinction has now been made between social and genetic partners. Reptiles provide contrast to well-understood avian systems because they are ectothermic, and phylogenetic comparisons are not hindered by complicated patterns of parental care. I investigate the implications of the mating system and reproductive ecology on individual fitness and population genetic diversity of tuatara, the sole extant representative of the archaic reptilian order Sphenodontia. Long-term data on individual size of Stephens Island tuatara revealed a density-dependent decline in body condition driven by an apparently high population growth rate resulting from past habitat modification. Spatial, behavioural, and genetic data from Stephens Island tuatara were analysed to assess territory structure, the mating system, and variation in male fitness. Large male body size was the primary predictor of 1) physical access to females, 2) competitive ability, and 3) mating and paternity success. Seasonal monogamy predominates, with probable long-term polygyny and polyandry.

  • Greater Antilles
    Greater Antilles Jamaica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico (and Cayman Islands) Todies and Tyrants A Greentours Tour Report th th 27 November to 18 December 2014 Led by Paul Cardy Trip report written by Paul Cardy Introduction This ambitious tour of all the main Greater Antillean islands gives the chance to see a wealth of single island and regional endemic birds, butterflies and reptiles. Some 110 endemic birds were recorded, including all five of the world’s todys, endemic to the region. Our trip took us through five remarkably contrasting countries and cultures. Beautiful scenery, from the misty Blue Mountains of Jamaica, to the swamps of Cuba’s Zapata peninsula, Dominican Republic’s forested mountains, and the Guanica Dry Forest in Puerto Rico characterised the journey. A remarkably varied tour, illustrated by the Cuban example of watching Blue-headed Quail-Doves on forest trails in Zapata, and also experiencing the vibrancy of fascinating Old Havana. A feature was the incredible views we had of many rare endemic birds, such as Chestnut-bellied Cuckoo and both endemic parrots on Jamaica; Bee Hummingbird, Fernadina’s Flicker, and Zapata Wren on Cuba; Hispaniolan Woodpecker and Black-crowned Palm-Tanager in Dominican Republic; and Elfin Woods Warbler on Puerto Rico. There were some very special butterflies too such as Grand Cayman Swallowtail, Jamaican Monarch, two species of Anetia, Haitian Snout, Haitian Admiral, Cuban Emperor, Dusky Emperor, Cuban Lucinia, Cuban Dagger Tail, seven species of Calisto, and Haitian Pygmy Skipper. One area in Hispaniola, discovered on the previous visit, proved especially good for butterflies.

Abstract: Papel del microhábitat en la depredación de hembras con patrones dorsales alternativos en una pequeña lagartija de Costa Rica (Squamata: Dactyloidae). Predation is one of the major selective agents influencing evolution of color patterns. Cryptic color patterns decrease detection probability by predators, but their concealing function depends on the background against which patterns are seen; therefore, habitat use and color patterns are tightly linked.

  • Culebra Island Giant Anole Anolis Roosvelti
    Culebra Island Giant Anole Anolis roosvelti Distribution Reproduction Nothing is known about this species’ mating habits. Distribution The species is known to have inhabited Culebra Island, although many years ago, other specimens were collected in Vieques, Tortola Island (British Virgin Island) and St. John (United States Virgin Islands). The species is presumed extinct; no sightings have been reported since 1932. Areas in which this species can be found include areas near Mount Resaca, the Cerro Balcón neighborhood, and a small area northwest of Luis Peña Cay. Surveys performed by the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources Family: Iguanidae of Puerto Rico in 1986 and 1987 failed to find any Order: Squamata individuals of the species. Description Threats The deforestation of mature forest areas in Culebra The Culebra Island giant anole is similar in proportion is the leading cause for the apparent vanishing of to the Puerto Rican giant green anole (Anolis cuvieri), this species.
