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.

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.

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
