چکیده
83 Norops fuscoauratus (D’Orbigny in Duméril and Bibron 1837) occurs in northern South America east of the Andes, specifically in Brazil, French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia (Ávila-Pires 1995). We know of no reports of helminths from N. fuscoauratus. The purpose of this note is to present the first records of helminths from N. fuscoauratus. Sixty-nine N. fuscoauratus collected by LJV and T. C. S. Ávila Pires (MPEG) were borrowed from the Department of Herpetology, Sam Noble Museum of Natural History (OMNH), University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma, USA. Fifty-six were from Brazil (Pará State, OMNH 36640-36659, CEMEX, Agropecuária Treviso Ltda, 101 km S, 18 km E. Santarém, 03°08’S, 54°50’W, collected February-April, 1995; Acre State, 36982-36999, 5.0 km N Porto Walter, inland from the Rio Juruá, 08°15S, 72°46’W, collected February-March, 1996; Amazonas State, 37157-37162, Rio Ituxi, Madeireira Scheffer, 08°20’S, 65°42’W, collected Helminths of the Brown-eared anole, Norops fuscoauratus (Squamata, Polychrotidae), from Brazil and Ecuador, South America

Genetic and morphometric differentiation among island populations of two Norops lizards (Reptilia: Sauria: Polychrotidae) on independently colonized islands of the Islas de Bahia (Honduras)
Aim Anole lizards (Reptilia: Sauria: Polychrotidae) display remarkable morphological and genetic differentiation between island populations. Morphological differences between islands are probably due to both adaptive (e.g. differential resource exploitation and intraor interspecific competition) and non-adaptive differentiation in allopatry. Anoles are well known for their extreme diversity and...
