Calling all German-speaking Anole Annals aficionados. Just what the heck does this say? Some Dutch speakers loosely translated this as an announcement of a new art exhibit on sex. Richtig? A German-to-English translation website helpfully translates this as: “Light signals, the correct reputation or Pushups? From a research group from the mountain wildlife shows the state museum of natural history in Stuttgart until May 2012 in the exhibition “sex.” It is also about phenomena such as infidelity or patchwork-families.”
Thanks to Susanne Renner for her eagle eye out for lizards in adverts.
Professor of Biology and Director of the Living Earth Collaborative at Washington University in Saint Louis. I've spent my entire professional career studying anoles and have discovered that the more I learn about anoles, the more I realize I don't know.

From the birds and the bees ( In german/dutch it is actually from teh flowers and the bees, but it has the same meaning..)
Light signals, the right call or push-ups? reproductive strategies from the animal and palnt-world are shown in the state museum for science in Stuttgart until may 2012 in the exhibition ‘sex’.
It will also include fenomena like adultry and step-family.

Haha, well that is wonderful! Important question Jonathan, is it another one of your images? If so you might get free tickets to the exhibition as compensation!

From a correspondent: “Even the headline above that photo (was bleibt – das sollten wir wissen = what remains — things we should know) is so deeply philosophical and absurd > it can’t be beat.”
