  • Xenosaurus Tzacualtipantecus. the Zacualtipán Knob-Scaled Lizard Is Endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of Eastern Mexico
    Xenosaurus tzacualtipantecus. The Zacualtipán knob-scaled lizard is endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of eastern Mexico. This medium-large lizard (female holotype measures 188 mm in total length) is known only from the vicinity of the type locality in eastern Hidalgo, at an elevation of 1,900 m in pine-oak forest, and a nearby locality at 2,000 m in northern Veracruz (Woolrich- Piña and Smith 2012). Xenosaurus tzacualtipantecus is thought to belong to the northern clade of the genus, which also contains X. newmanorum and X. platyceps (Bhullar 2011). As with its congeners, X. tzacualtipantecus is an inhabitant of crevices in limestone rocks. This species consumes beetles and lepidopteran larvae and gives birth to living young. The habitat of this lizard in the vicinity of the type locality is being deforested, and people in nearby towns have created an open garbage dump in this area. We determined its EVS as 17, in the middle of the high vulnerability category (see text for explanation), and its status by the IUCN and SEMAR- NAT presently are undetermined. This newly described endemic species is one of nine known species in the monogeneric family Xenosauridae, which is endemic to northern Mesoamerica (Mexico from Tamaulipas to Chiapas and into the montane portions of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala). All but one of these nine species is endemic to Mexico.

  • Testing Sustainable Forestry Methods in Puerto Rico
    Herpetology Notes, volume 8: 141-148 (2015) (published online on 10 April 2015) Testing sustainable forestry methods in Puerto Rico: Does the presence of the introduced timber tree Blue Mahoe, Talipariti elatum, affect the abundance of Anolis gundlachi? Norman Greenhawk Abstract. The island of Puerto Rico has one of the highest rates of regrowth of secondary forests largely due to abandonment of previously agricultural land. The study was aimed at determining the impact of the presence of Talipariti elatum, a timber species planted for forest enrichment, on the abundance of anoles at Las Casas de la Selva, a sustainable forestry project located in Patillas, Puerto Rico. The trees planted around 25 years ago are fast-growing and now dominate canopies where they were planted. Two areas, a control area of second-growth forest without T. elatum and an area within the T. elatum plantation, were surveyed over an 18 month period. The null hypothesis that anole abundance within the study areas is independent of the presence of T. elatum could not be rejected. The findings of this study may have implications when designing forest management practices where maintaining biodiversity is a goal. Keywords. Anolis gundlachi, Anolis stratulus, Puerto Rican herpetofauna, introduced species, forestry Introduction The secondary growth forest represents a significant resource base for the people of Puerto Rico, and, if At the time of Spanish colonization in 1508, nearly managed properly, an increase in suitable habitat one hundred percent of Puerto Rico was covered in for forest-dwelling herpetofauna. Depending on the forest (Wadsworth, 1950). As a result of forest clearing management methods used, human-altered agro- for agricultural and pastureland, ship building, and fuel forestry plantations have potential conservation wood, approximately one percent of the land surface value (Wunderle, 1999).

  • For Submission As a Note Green Anole (Anolis Carolinensis) Eggs
    For submission as a Note Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis) Eggs Associated with Nest Chambers of the Trap Jaw Ant, Odontomachus brunneus Christina L. Kwapich1 1Department of Biological Sciences, University of Massachusetts Lowell One University Ave., Lowell, Massachusetts, USA [email protected] Abstract Vertebrates occasionally deposit eggs in ant nests, but these associations are largely restricted to neotropical fungus farming ants in the tribe Attini. The subterranean chambers of ponerine ants have not previously been reported as nesting sites for squamates. The current study reports the occurrence of Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis) eggs and hatchlings in a nest of the trap jaw ant, Odontomachus brunneus. Hatching rates suggest that O. brunneus nests may be used communally by multiple females, which share spatial resources with another recently introduced Anolis species in their native range. This nesting strategy is placed in the context of known associations between frogs, snakes, legless worm lizards and ants. Introduction Subterranean ant nests are an attractive resource for vertebrates seeking well-defended cavities for their eggs. To access an ant nest, trespassers must work quickly or rely on adaptations that allow them to overcome the strict odor-recognition systems of ants. For example the myrmecophilous frog, Lithodytes lineatus, bears a chemical disguise that permits it to mate and deposit eggs deep inside the nests of the leafcutter ant, Atta cephalotes, without being bitten or harassed. Tadpoles inside nests enjoy the same physical and behavioral protection as the ants’ own brood, in a carefully controlled microclimate (de Lima Barros et al. 2016, Schlüter et al. 2009, Schlüter and Regös 1981, Schlüter and Regös 2005).

  • Phylogeny, Ecomorphological Evolution, and Historical Biogeography of the Anolis Cristatellus Series
    Uerpetological Monographs, 18, 2004, 90-126 © 2004 by The Herpetologists' League, Inc. PHYLOGENY, ECOMORPHOLOGICAL EVOLUTION, AND HISTORICAL BIOGEOGRAPHY OF THE ANOLIS CRISTATELLUS SERIES MATTHEW C. BRANDLEY^''^'"' AND KEVIN DE QUEIROZ^ ^Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History and Department of Zoology, The University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK 73072, USA ^Department of Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20,560, USA ABSTRACT: TO determine the evolutionary relationships within the Anolis cristatellus series, we employed phylogenetic analyses of previously published karyotype and allozyme data as well as newly collected morphological data and mitochondrial DNA sequences (fragments of the 12S RNA and cytochrome b genes). The relationships inferred from continuous maximum likelihood reanalyses of allozyme data were largely poorly supported. A similar analysis of the morphological data gave strong to moderate support for sister relationships of the two included distichoid species, the two trunk-crown species, the grass-bush species A. poncensis and A. pulchellus, and a clade of trunk-ground and grass-bush species. The results of maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of the 12S, cyt b, and combined mtDNA data sets were largely congruent, but nonetheless exhibit some differences both with one another and with those based on the morphological data. We therefore took advantage of the additive properties of likelihoods to compare alternative phylogenetic trees and determined that the tree inferred from the combined 12S and cyt b data is also the best estimate of the phylogeny for the morphological and mtDNA data sets considered together. We also performed mixed-model Bayesian analyses of the combined morphology and mtDNA data; the resultant tree was topologically identical to the combined mtDNA tree with generally high nodal support.

  • There's a New Kid in Town – How Native Anoles Avoid Competition From
    THERE’S A NEW KID IN TOWN – HOW NATIVE ANOLES AVOID COMPETITION FROM INVASIVE ANOLES Anolis carolinensis, commonly called the Green anole (Fig. 1), is a small lizard that lives in the southeast United States. It is active during the day in vegetation close to the ground. In the 1950s, another anole lizard, the Brown anole (Anolis sagrei; Fig. 2) arrived in Florida from Cuba, probably on ships that moved between the two countries. The Brown anole became invasive, rapidly spreading its species range from South Florida into the rest of Florida as well as into parts of Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. Figure 1. Anolis carolinensis male on a fallen tree Figure 2. Anolis sagrei male, perching on a log. trunk. (Photo by Euku/Wikimedia Commons) The Brown anole is very similar to the Green anole. Like the Green anole, it is a few inches long, eats insects, is active during the day, and favors living on the ground and low down on bushes and tree trunks. However, the Brown anole is a little bit heavier than the Green anole and also more aggressive when forming and defending territories. Given that both species have such similar ecological niches, the question arises what effect the invasive Brown anole might have on the native Green anole. In Cuba, for example, where close relatives of the Green anole live together with the Brown anole (i.e. both species are sympatric), the Green anoles spend most of their time higher up in the trees, probably because of competition with the more aggressive Brown anole.
