The three species are of similar body size, and A. aeneus and A. trinitatis are known to hybridize in Trinidad. Detailed studies from the late 1960s indicated that A. aeneus was widespread but A. trinitatis was localized and apparently in decline due to hybridization pressure. In this study we examined all the known sites of A. trinitatis (and A. extremus ) in Trinidad, and many new sites. A. trinitatis remained abundant in and to the east of San Fernando in southern Trinidad. Two small populations remained in northern Trinidad, at one site in Port of Spain and at St Augustine, but A. trinitatis no longer occurred at most former sites there. A. trinitatis and A. aeneus had high niche overlap (0.99 or greater) for the three dimensions examined (substrate type and perch height and diameter). Both species were apparently still spreading into vacant habitats east of San Fernando. Of 12 sites from which A. trinitatis had disappeared, four had no anoles, four had sparse populations of A. aeneus , and only four had dense populations of A. aeneus . This pattern suggests that the decline of A. trinitatis is not related to hybridization with or competition from A. aeneus . An alternative hypothesis is presented, that A. trinitatis requires more vegetated habitats, which have been increasingly lost during urban development especially in northern Trinidad. A. extremus is apparently now extinct in Trinidad.","PeriodicalId":55499,"journal":{"name":"Applied Herpetology","volume":"6 1","pages":"275-294"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1163/157075409X432922","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64923603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The species was first collected in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) in 1990 (Owen et al., 2005) and has since spread, with about one new island record per year in the BVI (Owen et al., 2005, 2006; Perry and Gerber, 2006) and new localities in the United States Virgin Islands (Waddle et al., 2005; Platenberg and Boulon, 2006; Perry and Platenberg, 2007). Perry and Gerber (2006) mentioned that the species had been sighted on Guana Island, BVI, but did not provide any information that would allow the significance or circumstances of the event to be evaluated. Those details are provided herein. At about 2000 h on 21 October 2005, I collected an adult male (SVL = 72 mm) with small nuptial pads, foraging at a night light within the hotel complex on Guana Island. Guana Island is a private wildlife preserve. In the 12 months prior to the reported event, the small hotel on the island had imported relatively large quantities of construction materials and ornamental plants. However, hotel staff had made extensive attempts to prevent the arrival of the Cuban treefrog and other invasive species. These include manual searches of all arriving plants and other materials while still on the barges bringing them to the island, and on-island fumigation within an enclosure into which arriving materials and engine exhaust were introduced (Perry et al., 2006). No additional Cuban treefrogs have been seen on Guana since removal of that individual, despite extensive searches in 2006 and 2007.

When animals with bilateral body plans are challenged by environmental stressors, departures from bilateral symmetry can emerge during development. The tendency for FA to develop has been linked to greater susceptibility to pathogens in many organisms. In our study, newts (Notophthalmus viridescens) infected with Ichthyophonus-sp. exhibited greater size-corrected FA of the hind limbs than uninfected animals from the same population. Among infected animals, however, the intensity of infection and the extent of hind limb asymmetry were not correlated, suggesting that asymmetry did not arise following infection, but rather that newts having greater FA may have been more susceptible to infection as a result of the same stresses that produced the increase in FA. There was no relationship between dorsal spot pattern FA and infection status or hind limb FA. We suggest that spot pattern may be less canalized than hind limb development. Newts are widely distributed and important components of freshwater communities in eastern North America and, thus, any change in their vitality may affect the composition of those communities. Analyses of hind limb FA may be a useful and non-invasive tool for identifying potentially vulnerable amphibian","PeriodicalId":55499,"journal":{"name":"Applied Herpetology","volume":"6 1","pages":"369-378"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1163/157075309X12523217711605","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64912959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
