Fig. 1. A cladogram showing the relationships between the species from this study
based on Jackman et al. (1999)
and T. R. Jackman (personal communication). The lengths of the arms of the
cladogram have no quantitative meaning, although we have linked closely
related species with short arms. There are other species between those listed
in this cladogram: i.e. the closest taxa in this diagram are not necessarily
the most closely related species known. Jackman et al.
(1999) identified 17 major
distinct clades within the genus Anolis. Five of these, plus the
closely related outgroup genus Polychrus, are represented in our
sample. *A. sagrei and A. equestris were
collected from feral populations in Florida, but are Cuban in origin.
