KnowraAnolidaeAnolidaeAnolidae is a historical family name for anole lizards, which are now generally classified in the family Dactyloidae.BriefConnectDactyloidae: Dactyloidae is the family of lizards that includes anoles. This is the family name that replaced Anolidae in widely used modern classifications.Anole: Anoles are small to medium-sized iguanian lizards known for adhesive toe pads and diverse body forms. Anolidae was named for this recognizable group of lizards.Caribbean anole adaptive radiation: Caribbean anole adaptive radiation is the diversification of anoles into habitat-associated forms across Greater Antillean islands. This well-studied radiation illustrates the evolutionary variety represented by Anolidae.Polychrotidae: Polychrotidae is a family name formerly used for anoles in some classifications. It is another historical family placement that can appear alongside Anolidae in older sources.Anolis: Anolis is a genus of anole lizards, especially diverse in the Caribbean and Central America. Many species historically placed under Anolidae belong to this central anole genus.Dewlap: A dewlap is a fold of skin beneath a lizard’s throat that can be extended for display. Anole dewlaps are a conspicuous shared feature across many members of the group.Anole lizard: Anole lizards are iguanian reptiles found mainly in the Americas and Caribbean. Modern references generally discuss the animals once called Anolidae as anoles or Dactyloidae.Reptile classification: Reptile classification organizes reptiles into taxonomic groups based on evolutionary relationships and diagnostic traits. Different classification systems have assigned anoles to different family-level groups.Iguanidae: Iguanidae is a family of iguanian lizards that includes iguanas and related groups. Older classifications sometimes placed anoles within a broader Iguanidae.Anole ecomorph: An anole ecomorph is a recurring body form associated with a particular habitat and mode of movement. These forms reveal ecological diversity within the lizards once grouped as Anolidae.Show all 20Linked from 1 pageShow all 1
