A nice story–“It’s Not Easy Being Green”–pointing out that green anoless have declined as browns have invaded, a popular topic here on AA [1,2].
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.

I watch and admire the anoles in my garden and photograph them for reference material for my illustrations (Oliver the Overachiever & a new one in progress).
My anole hordes always emerge when I water our many plants and I tend to favor the green fellows. I’ve been known to give the browns ones a little blast from the hose so the green guys can get first dibs on the bugs that are flushed from hiding by the water.
