The brown anole belongs to the family and genus, Datyloidae and Anolis, respectively. [26] The most closely related species to Anolis sagrei is Anolis nelsoni, also called Nelson's anole. [26] [27] The brown anole has a shorter snout length than the green anole. [16] The green anole, or Anolis carolinensis, is green or light brown patterned. [16]

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.
Traditionally, all the true anoles were included in the genus Anolis and some continue to use this treatment, [181] in which case it is the largest genus of reptile. [ 1 ] [ 30 ] An attempt of dividing this huge genus was already made in 1959–1960, when they were placed in two major groups, the so-called "alpha anoles" (comprising most anole ...
Phylogenetic evidence indicates that the Carolina anole belongs to the Anolis carolinensis anole series, a wider clade of Caribbean Anolis which are all also known as "green anoles". This group is composed of mid-sized trunk-crown anoles with large, conspicuously elongated heads and extreme levels of sexual dimorphism.
For instance, the average male Anolis sagrei was 53.4 mm vs. 40 mm in females. [61] Different sizes of the heads in anoles have been explained by differences in the estrogen pathway. [ 62 ] The sexual dimorphism in lizards is generally attributed to the effects of sexual selection, but other mechanisms including ecological divergence and ...
