Many editors have recently come to acknowledge that an anole on a book or journal cover generates much enthusiasm from the community (here, here, here, here, here, here and here– I hope that I didn’t miss any). The trend continues in the February issue of Proceedings of the Royal Society. In this issue Sanger et al. describe the developmental bases of limb length convergence among trunk-ground and trunk-crown habitat specialists (previously described on Anole Annals). It should be noted that the only thing that can  possibly trump the beauty and eloquence of an anole in its native environment are developmental series of anole embryos (see here for further proof)
