This brown anole was just released into his new home on island H. How will he do? Will he succeed in this habitat? Will he mate and father many offspring? Will his dewlap tattoo give him an advantage? These are the questions we will try to answer when we return to Florida in the summer and fall. We are not quite done yet. We still have to release lizards on 3 more islands. Stay tuned for more updates.

ReplyDeleteHow did you place them on the island?
ReplyDeletehow did the lizards react when u let them out of the bags?
ReplyDeletedid they lay any eggs?
ReplyDeleteIs there other animals on the islands the lizards are being placed in?
ReplyDeleteWhat is your hypothesis on the dewlap color?
ReplyDeleteThis one looks like a beast i am sure he will have all the female lizards after him and make lots of babys what color is his dulap
ReplyDeleteIs this a male or female lizard?
ReplyDeleteCan the lizard die because of its environment changing too quickly?
ReplyDeletewhat would happen to the expirement if the half of the lizards (not half excatly but aroud there) die?
When you put the lizards on diffrents island,Do they easily adapt to each diffrent island?
ReplyDeleteHow many lizards do you put in every island?

ReplyDeletehow many brown anole have yuh found?
ReplyDeleteDid you build the lizards their own little home? :D
ReplyDeletedue to change in scnery i believe the lizard are goin to go thru a change in appearance maybe not drastic but they will change some what
ReplyDeleteDon't you get frustrated working all day and night? beside loving lizards, what other reptiles or animal do you love? if you had the opportunity to search and experiment with other animals, wich animal will you prefer?
ReplyDeleteDid you put a tattoo on a lizard that said "I Love Mom"?
ReplyDeleteThe brown anoles might got through a series of different changes because there in a new habitat.
ReplyDeletechristian cortez-

3)HOW MANY HOURS HAVE YAH SLEPT?
Do you have any picture of this island?
ReplyDeleteThe title sounds like a movie...and like Noe ask if you had the chance what other retile or animal will you research?
ReplyDeleteis there any possiblity that some lizards could go from one island to another? Which island do you think will have the best records after the project is over?
ReplyDeletehow did the lizards react to the new enviornment when you's let them out from the bags?
ReplyDeleteDo you sleep out side and camp or do u sleep in a house
ReplyDeleteI think the Lizard would get use to his New enviroment
ReplyDeleteI think depending on the ratio of other species to the island the lizard might succeed only if that island isn't full of predators instead of prey.
ReplyDeleteI think he will succeed because his camouflage with its surroundings.
ReplyDeleteHave you marked the lizards that you have released?
ReplyDeleteWhat will you do with the offspring? Since Florida wants the brown anoles gone instead of reproducing.
ReplyDeleteWas there a specific spot where you had to release the lizards?
ReplyDeleteso in the islands alone, did your expiriemnts intergrate with the tatoo lizards and if in all the islands too? wont that affect the expiriment?
ReplyDeleteDo you think the envinment will affect in anything the way the lizards addapt to their new home ?
ReplyDeleteHow will you know if a tattooed lizard has an advantage over the lizards that aren't tattooed?
ReplyDeleteDo you think releasing the brown anole on the islands will affect the survival of other animals living there?
ReplyDeleteI really believe his dewlap tatoo will have an advantage when it comes to fathering offspring since it will attract other females.
ReplyDeleteMr. Reedy the Lizard in the picture looks more musclar than the other lizards. Have you found any difference in the lizards in muscularity?
ReplyDeleteHow different is this environment than the environment the lizard?
ReplyDeleteIf the lizards with the dewlap tatoo do father more offspring how will you know that they did?
ReplyDeleteHow many brown anoles do you have?
ReplyDeleteDo you really believe that the lizards will survive in their new environment?
ReplyDeletehow long do the lizards live for ?
ReplyDeleteSelena Romero
ReplyDeleteYou think if a lizard like this one that he has a location where his use to, you think that the lizard will act the same or be a little more scared because its not like his usual place to be?
While you were at florida, did you notice any physical changes in the lizards?
ReplyDeletei think that the lizard will servive a pretty long time he/she looks tough and he/she looks like it can do some good damage and well it looks like that lizard will come out with some good results
ReplyDeleteWas that one of the lizards u catch and then let it free.
ReplyDeletehow many lizards do u catch a day?
ReplyDeleteI'm expecting this lizard to survive at least for while due to its large size. Wish it the best.
ReplyDeleteHow many lizards have got their tattoo?
ReplyDelete1 what kind of lizard is it?
ReplyDelete2 what island was it on?
3 did you eat any of them?
how long does lizards survive?
ReplyDeletehow many lizards did you release in each island?
ReplyDeleteIvan Amador-
ReplyDeleteMaybe the color of the lizards neck will chage its chances of survivle.
Was the lizard's tail cut off a bit?
-How do you know if they will make it?
ReplyDelete-How did they react when they went to their new homes?
-What happens if they dont make it?
How did the lizard got his tattoo?
ReplyDeletewhen are the lizards gonna evolve to another species?
ReplyDeleteumm i dont think the color of the dewlap well help much. because they only have one color white.
ReplyDeleteMr. Reedy!
ReplyDeleteDo you think the lizards will adapt to there new homes?
Do you think some will die out because of the other tyoe of animals there?
What will happen if one or two of the lizards gets eaten; will it affect the experiment?
how many lizards do u think well live?
ReplyDeleteMR.REEDY HOW MANY MALE AND FEMALE BROWN ANOLES WERE EXPOSED TO ISLAND H?
ReplyDeletewat color is the lizard
ReplyDeleteAre the islands somewhat similar by environment and surroundings, not the size of them, but the habitats in each island? how?
ReplyDeleteWhat are some of the food choices the lizards will be eating? Usually how long does it take the lizards to be able to adapt to this new environment? Are the temperatures, weathers, and climate in these new islands similar to their former home islands?
ReplyDeleteIn about how long is your team planning to return to the islands to collect data?
ReplyDeleteLet me try to answer some of the recent questions here.
ReplyDeleteNohemi- I can't give you the exact answer to this without checking the data, but let me give you a good estimate. On some of the islands we released 66.6% females and 33.3% males. On others we did the opposite (66.6% males and 33.3% females). The islands varied in size so on the smallest island we released about 40 lizards total and on the biggest we released about 170 lizards. I am not sure exactly how many females were released on Island H, but it followed those guidelines.
Efrain- Just like our lizards in class, they ranged in color from very light tan color to a very dark brown. As they heat up their colors usually turn darker. There are a few lizards with a reddish or rust color also.
Simon- Yes, the islands are similar in type of habitat. The same types of trees and grasses are growing on just about all of the islands. The biggest difference in the habitats is probably the density of vegetation, where some islands have very thick trees and others have very sparse tree cover. We have 4 and 5 islands respectively for each treatment so we should still be able to see how the sex ratio is affecting reproductive success regardless of differences in the habitat. Insightful question.
Nathan- The lizards eat spiders, dragon flys, moths, beetles and just about any small arthropods that they can catch.
The climate is the exact same on all of the islands as they are in a 30 mile radius of one another. Some are very close and only 40 or 50 feet apart.
Elizabeth- We will be returning to the islands in August and in October. I am hoping to go for at least one of those work trips, but it will depend on my schedule.
I am sure the lizard will do anything in his ability to adapt and reproduce in his new environment and even if its not with him its bond to happen with one of them :)
ReplyDeletewill u guys keep track of the lizards?
ReplyDeletedo you think alot of lizards will die because of competition with food and territory?
ReplyDeleteWhen releasing the lizards were any of the females expecting?
ReplyDeleteYes, some of them were gravid(that means pregnant with an egg). Unfortunately, a few of them laid in their bags, but many more were released on the islands still carrying eggs.
