About this book

An authoritative treatment of the diverse and beautiful anole lizards of mainland Central and South America

Anoles are highly visible and aesthetically pleasing lizards that are abundant throughout Central and South America. The subjects of countless evolutionary and ecological studies that have advanced our understanding of basic principles in biology, these colorful reptiles are notoriously difficult to identify, and species names are often confusing and inconsistent. A Guide to the Anolis Lizards (Anoles) of Mainland Central and South America is the first book to enable the identification of all known species of anole in the region while establishing baseline knowledge for further research. Drawing on the latest findings, this comprehensive field companion and taxonomic reference is the ultimate guide to these extraordinary lizards.

  • Provides the first stable taxonomy of mainland anoles while aiding field identification of these marvelous neotropical reptiles
  • Features hundreds of stunning photos depicting most species, including several species never before photographed
  • Describes the key identification features and natural history of over 200 species of mainland anoles
  • Facilitates scientific research on evolution, ecology, and species discovery
  • An ideal travel companion for ecotourists and other visitors to Central and South America
  • Accompanied by an online identification key
