Close up of a Puerto Rican Crested Anole. Compared to many other anoles, it is a stocky, muscular and aggressive, [13] although it is a small (compared to Central American anoles) [14] to moderately-sized species (compared to insular Caribbean anoles). Measurements in 2015 found the animals to have a snout-vent length (SVL) which can reach to ...

Anolis is a genus of anoles (US: / ə ˈ n oʊ. l i z / ⓘ), iguanian lizards in the family Dactyloidae, native to the Americas.With more than 425 species, [1] it represents the world's most species-rich amniote tetrapod genus, although many of these have been proposed to be moved to other genera, in which case only about 45 Anolis species remain.
Anoles will eat pest insects, like this crested anole with a cockroach. Anoles are model organisms often studied in fields such as ecology, behavior, physiology and evolution. [3] [7] [17] The Carolina (or green) anole is the most-studied anole species, with the earliest dedicated studies being more than 100 years old, from the late 1800s. [97]
The water anole is categorized in the group Dactyloidae, which is a family under the suborder Iguania. Dactyloidae refer to lizards that are in locations ranging from Paraguay to the southeastern regions of the United States, and are commonly referred to as anoles. Anolis refers to a genus of anoles that are native to North and South America ...
Anoles have repeatedly evolved into similar forms on different islands, dubbed 'ecomorphs'. Convergence is in microhabitat specialty, behavior, and morphology. [ 3 ] Langerhans, Knouft & Losos call the set of Anolis lizard ecomorphs of the Greater Antilles "a classic example of convergent evolution ."
This species of anole is a small lizard (or moderately-sized for an anole), adults measuring 40 to 44 mm (1.6 to 1.7 in) from snout to vent in males, [6] [19] in females to 46 mm (1.8 in). [ 19 ] The male does not have a dorsal crest or tail fin which is common in many of the anole lizards of Puerto Rico.
