1	Carotenoid-based dewlap color as a visual signal in social communication of brown anoles (Norops sagrei) Steffen, John Edward, Hill, Geoffrey E. January 2007 (has links) Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Auburn University, / Abstract. Vita. Includes bibliographic references (p.135-154).
2	An experimental study of juvenile competition and habitat niche partitioning between a native lizard (Anolis carolinensis) and an introduced congener (Anolis sagrei) in the southeastern United States Walguarnery, Justin W., January 2008 (has links) (PDF) Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Tennessee, Knoxville, 2008. / Title from title page screen (viewed on Sept. 10, 2009). Thesis advisor: Arthur C. Echternacht. Vita. Includes bibliographical references.
3	The morphology, reproductive biology and habitat utilisation of the exotic invasive lizard, the brown anole (anolis sagrei), in Taiwan Norval, Gerrut 12 1900 (has links) Surveys and vegetation analyses were used to determine the known distribution and the characteristics of the habitat utilised by Anolis sagrei in Taiwan. Sampled lizards were used for morphological comparisons, and to investigate the reproductive biology of this species in Taiwan. The results of this study indicate that the distribution of A. sagrei in Taiwan is extensive (≥237 ha) in Chiayi City and County (southwestern study site) and scattered (≥8 ha) in Hualien City and County (eastern study site). These lizards were mostly found in open sunny degraded man-made habitats. Although some variations were noted in the comparisons between the A. sagrei collected from the two study sites, it was concluded that the two populations likely have the same founder population. The reproductive biology study indicated that photoperiod and the associated temperatures determine the reproductive cycles in A. sagrei. It also demonstrated that reproduction in this species is energetically demanding. / Nature Conservation / MSc.(Nature Conservation) Abdominal fat weight cycle Anolis sagrei Brown anole Habitat preference Human commensal Income breeder Invasive species Liver weight cycle Lizard Photoperiod Reproductive biology 597.95480951249
