This book is unique in a number of ways. There are a number of books about Green Anoles in general terms. This book is unique however in that it not only tells you what you need to know before you venture into the hobby, but also what you will need in order to furnish and maintain a healthy vivarium environment and care for your pets - not only indoors but outdoors. The author not only shares with the reader from a developmental process, what is going to be needed for support, management and maintenance of your hobby, but also takes you step by step through the evolutionary steps of what you will experience in your hobby. He takes you through the whys and the wherefores; what you need to be prepared for before you are caught by surprise. Being caught by surprise can be devasting to your pet lizard family, your pocketbook and even your psyche. The author takes you from his, and your, indoors to outdoors venture from the start in pursuing your hobby of raising Green Anoles, but also what you are likely to encounter as you select and raise your own pet Green Anole community indoors or out. This book is also unique because the author has the experience of doing both - successfully! In this book, the author displays aptly, the ability to impart precise information for both the newer, younger hobbyist and/or more sophisticated reader brushing up on the subject and comparing experiences and notes. Green Anoles are very sophisticated group of reptiles, but unique in that they can be very human friendly and simply just nice to have around; they can be company to the hobbyist just as a dog or a cat or bird could be. Out-doors, however, they are not noisy, messy or demanding nor a nuisance to the neighbors. The author shares how to raise tame Green Anoles and maintain them as miniature friends in your garden that visit you each morning who will even eat out of your hand if you so desire or just bask in the sun awaiting your benevolence. In this book, the author helps you to get the most enjoyment out of your hobby for the least amount of financial, energy and task intensive output.

A popular beginner’s lizard, the green anole is the perfect introduction to the world of reptiles and continues to be popular among new herp lovers. These tiny, neat little lizards with the intense black eyes have suffered the fate of goldfish, as they’ve been marketed by pet shops as cheap, easy care, insect-eating reptiles. In order to keep green anoles thriving in their vivaria, pet owners must approach their husbandry with care and respect: Philippe de Vosjoli’s Green Anoles provides the precise information necessary to reach that goal. The book begins with a chapter about the characteristics and behavior, natural history, and anatomy of green anoles, all of which is critical information for a keep to better understand the needs of his or her pet. As pets, green anoles are best kept in their vivaria and not handled, so the setup of a beautifully landscaped vivarium with proper lighting, heat, humidity, ventilation, and substrate is key. This Advanced Vivarium Systems title offers complete information about housing, feeding and nutrition, diseases and disorders, and breeding as well as how to set up naturalistic vivaria for one or more anoles or a community of anoles and compatible species. The chapter on other anoles recommends some very attractive species for the beginning lizard keeper to expand his anole family, such as the brown anole, big-headed anole, Cuban (or knight) anole, and Jamaican anole. The finale chapter on compatible species includes descriptions and photographs of a half dozen interesting options, such as the flying gecko, pigmy skink, and green tree frog. Resources and index included.

The green anole lizard, scientifically known as Anolis carolinensis, is a tiny, arboreal (tree-dwelling) lizard native to the southeastern United States, particularly in states like Florida and Georgia. Its ability to change color and its superficial resemblance to actual chameleons have led to its common misnomer as the American chameleon or Carolina anole, despite the fact that it is not closely related to chameleons. Among the most important facts and features of green anole lizards are: 1. To better blend in with their surroundings, these lizards are often a greenish color. Yet they can alter their look by changing to a brown or speckled hue. Changing colors may help them express their emotions, maintain a comfortable body temperature, or blend with their surroundings. 2. The average adult male green anole measures between 5 and 8 inches (13 and 20 centimeters) in length, while females are slightly smaller. 3. Their natural habitats include locations with trees, gardens, and cities due of their ability to scale vertical surfaces like as plants and buildings. They are skilled climbers because of their arboreal existence. 4. Insects, such as crickets, ants, and spiders, make up the bulk of the green anole lizard's diet. When hunting, they are able to move swiftly and daringly. 5. Characteristically, these lizards are awake and about during the day. They are territorial and may demonstrate head-bobbing and dewlap extensions to communicate with other anoles or to establish dominance. 6. Reproduction: Females typically lay eggs in secret, damp places in the spring after a successful mating season. After a few weeks, the eggs will hatch into baby anoles. Due to their small stature and ease of maintenance, green anole lizards are a common household pet. But it's crucial to give them a place to climb and a place to sleep, as well as sources of light and warmth. While they do have the ability to change color, it is typically not as drastic as in genuine chameleons and is instead impacted by their environment and emotional state.

"In a book both beautifully illustrated and deeply informative, Jonathan Losos, a leader in evolutionary ecology, celebrates and analyzes the diversity of the natural world that the fascinating anoline lizards epitomize. Readers who are drawn to nature by its beauty or its intellectual challenges—or both—will find his book rewarding."—Douglas J. Futuyma, State University of New York, Stony Brook "This book is destined to become a classic. It is scholarly, informative, stimulating, and highly readable, and will inspire a generation of students."—Peter R. Grant, author of How and Why Species Multiply: The Radiation of Darwin's Finches "Anoline lizards experienced a spectacular adaptive radiation in the dynamic landscape of the Caribbean islands. The radiation has extended over a long period of time and has featured separate radiations on the larger islands. Losos, the leading active student of these lizards, presents an integrated and synthetic overview, summarizing the enormous and multidimensional research literature. This engaging book makes a wonderful example of an adaptive radiation accessible to all, and the lavish illustrations, especially the photographs, make the anoles come alive in one's mind."—David Wake, University of California, Berkeley "This magnificent book is a celebration and synthesis of one of the most eventful adaptive radiations known. With disarming prose and personal narrative Jonathan Losos shows how an obsession, beginning at age ten, became a methodology and a research plan that, together with studies by colleagues and predecessors, culminated in many of the principles we now regard as true about the origins and maintenance of biodiversity. This work combines rigorous analysis and glorious natural history in a unique volume that stands with books by the Grants on Darwin's finches among the most informed and engaging accounts ever written on the evolution of a group of organisms in nature."—Dolph Schluter, author of The Ecology of Adaptive Radiation

Green anoles are small lizards of the Southeastern United States. They possess an extensible throat-fan called a dewlap. Males have larger dewlaps and display them more often than females. Displays occur during courtship, during agonistic interaction, and during encounters with potential predators. The size of the dewlap of male green anoles is positively correlated with maximum bite force capacity. Bite force capacity, in turn, is predictive of the winner during agonistic interactions. The correlation between these traits suggests that dewlap size may be used as a reliable signal of maximum bite force capacity. In this dissertation, I address three components of this system. First, I manipulate dewlap size and stage interactions between male green anoles. By removing the correlation between dewlap size and bite force, I was able to show that during staged encounters, bite force is predictive of the winner, but dewlap size is not. In the second chapter, I test for potential costs due to an increased predation risk as a result of dewlap displays. I observed no difference in recapture rates between animals that were experimentally prevented from extending their dewlaps and control counterparts. However, other data suggest that the presence of a pink dewlap may increase risk of predation. These results suggest that though there may be a predation-based cost to dewlap displays, green anoles use behavioral means to ameliorate this risk. Finally, I use a castration and hormone-replacement experiment to test whether testosterone mediates seasonal changes in dewlap size and bite force. I hypothesized that testosterone would mediate changes in both traits in order to maintain the correlation between them. However, I found no effect of testosterone on change in dewlap size or bite force performance. Another trait, sprint speed performance, was affected by hormone treatment in the breeding season such that animals with high levels of testosterone ran faster than animals from the other treatment groups. My results corroborate other research showing that hormones regulate plasticity in some systems, while other systems are insensitive. However, the mechanisms that regulate changes in the two components of the reliable signaling system in green anoles remain unknown.

We all have our off days. Why should Evolution be any different? Maybe Evolution got carried away with an idea that was just a little too crazy—like having the Regal Horned Lizard defend itself by shooting three-foot streams of blood from its eyes. Or maybe Evolution ran out of steam (Memo to Evolution: The Irrawaddy Dolphin looks like a prototype that should have been left on the drawing board). Or maybe Evolution was feeling cheeky—a fish with hands? Joke’s on you, Red Handfish! Or maybe Evolution simply goofed up: How else to explain the overgrown teeth of the babirusas that curl backward over their face? Oops. Mara Grunbaum is a very smart, very funny science writer who celebrates the best—or, really, the worst—of Evolution’s blunders. Here are more than 100 outlandish mammals, reptiles, insects, fish, birds, and other creatures whose very existence leaves us shaking our heads and muttering WTF?! Ms. Grunbaum’s especially brilliant stroke is to personify Evolution as a well-meaning but somewhat oblivious experimenter whose conversations with a skeptical narrator are hilarious. For almost 4 billion years, Evolution has produced a nonstop parade of inflatable noses, bizarre genitalia, and seriously awkward necks. What a comedian!
