Polychrus jacquelinae or Jacqueline's bush anole [1] is a species of bush anole. It is endemic to Peru and was dedicated to Jacqueline Maria Charles. [2] It can be found in elevations of 1,460 to 1,570 meters. [3]
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, founded in 1964, is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biological species. It uses a set of criteria to evaluate the extinction risk of thousands of species and subspecies. These criteria are relevant to all species and all regions of the world. With its strong scientific base, the IUCN Red List is recognized as the most authoritative guide to the status of biological diversity. A series of Regional Red Lists are produced by countries or organizations, which assess the risk of extinction to species within a political management unit.
Dactyloidae are a family of lizards commonly known as anoles and native to warmer parts of the Americas, ranging from southeastern United States to Paraguay. Instead of treating it as a family, some authorities prefer to treat it as a subfamily, Dactyloinae, of the family Iguanidae. In the past they were included in the family Polychrotidae together with Polychrus, but the latter genus is not closely related to the true anoles.
Polychrus is the only extant genus of polychrotid lizards in the world. Commonly called bush anoles, they are found in Central and South America, as well as nearby Trinidad and Tobago.
Anolis carolinensis is an arboreal anole lizard native to the southeastern United States and introduced elsewhere. Common names include the Carolina anole,green anole, American green anole, American anole, and red-throated anole. It is also sometimes referred to as the American chameleon due to its ability to change color from several brown hues to bright green, however it is not a true chameleon.
Iguania is an infraorder of squamate reptiles that includes iguanas, chameleons, agamids, and New World lizards like anoles and phrynosomatids. Using morphological features as a guide to evolutionary relationships, the Iguania are believed to form the sister group to the remainder of the Squamata, and comprise nearly 13,000 named species. However, molecular information has placed Iguania well within the Squamata as sister taxa to the Anguimorpha and closely related to snakes. The order has been under debate and revisions after being classified by Charles Lewis Camp in 1923 due to difficulties finding adequate synapomorphic morphological characteristics. The majority of Iguanias are arboreal but there are several terrestrial groups. They usually have primitive fleshy, non-prehensile tongues, although the tongue is highly modified in chameleons. The group has a fossil record that extends back to the Early Jurassic. Today they are scattered occurring in Madagascar, the Fiji and Friendly Islands and Western Hemisphere
The Manchurian bush warbler, also known as Korean bush warbler, is a bird in the family Cettiidae. The species was first described by Robert Swinhoe in 1860. It is found in northeastern China.
Pristimantis polychrus is a species of frog in the family Craugastoridae.
The rufous-webbed bush tyrant is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is monotypic within the genus Polioxolmis. It is found mostly in Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru with a few records in Chile, where its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland.
Polychrus gutturosus, also known as Berthold's bush anole or monkey tailed anole, is a species of lizard found in tropical Central and South America. It is sometimes referred to as a "forest iguana". It lives in forests and jungles from Honduras to Ecuador. It can reach up to 70 cm (2.3 ft) in total length, including its very long tail, and males are considerably smaller than females. This insectivorous lizard is a climbing species that can often be seen holding onto branches. It can even hold on with its hind legs, though it moves slowly that way.
Anolis occultus, the dwarf anole or Puerto Rican twig anole, is a species of Anolis lizards that is endemic to Puerto Rico. It is also called the limestone anole. Its habitat includes places like the Toro Negro State Forest in central Puerto Rico.
Anolis pogus, the bearded anole or Anguilla Bank bush anole, is a species of anole lizard that is extant to the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, located in the Lesser Antilles. Its range used to include Anguilla and possibly Saint Barthélemy, but it is now extirpated from both islands.
The Polychrotidae family of iguanian lizards contains the living genus Polychrus and the extinct genus Afairiguana. The family Polychrotidae was once thought to encompass all anoles, including those in the genus Anolis. Studies of the evolutionary relationships of anoles based on molecular information has shown that Polychrus is not closely related to Anolis, but instead closer to Hoplocercidae. It is therefore not part of Dactyloidae and instead is treated as the family, Polychrotidae.
Polychrus acutirostris, the Brazilian bush anole, is a species of lizard native to southern and eastern Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, and eastern Bolivia. It is diurnal.
Polychrus femoralis, or Werner'sbush anole, is a species of anole native to Ecuador and Peru. It can be found in forests and shrublands.
Polychrus peruvianus is a species of bush anole native to Peru and Ecuador. It was initially placed in the genus, Polychroides, before being corrected in 1965.
Polychrus marmoratus or many-colored bush anole is a species of bush anole. It is also commonly referred to as the monkey lizard due to its slow movement. The lizard has many predators, including spiders and primates.
Coregonus restrictus is an extinct freshwater fish from the family Salmonidae. It was originally discovered in Lake Morat, Switzerland, in 1885. In 2008 it was included on the IUCN Red List by J. Freyhof and M. Kottelat. It was first described by Fatio.
Hypsugo alaschanicus, the Alashanian pipistrelle, is a species of bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It is found in China, South Korea, Mongolia, Japan, and Russia.
