Talk:Dactyloidae

message: My site was not plagerized. I have spent 5 months writing it MYSELF. The clam that i have plagerized the site "Under the leaves" is completely false. Not only that, that said site no longer exists. Wikipedia is a website of information. Someone searching for anole could have found one and would like to take care of it. Through that link, i have helped several people whom have emailed me.

message: Almost this entire article was plagiarized from http://www.wildtexas.com/wildguides/anole.php.  Either that, or the information there was plagiarized from here.  This information needs to be rewritten, and the site given proper credit.

Also, an after thought, I checked this, and it looks like someone fixed this. Thanks somebody. Garnet avi 05:47, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't find it apropriate for an encyclopedia to contain matters of opinion. What is inexpensive to one person may be considered expensive to another and what is amazing to one person may be boring to another.  Let's just stick to facts.98.77.181.197 (talk) 09:54, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Blue Anole?!

message: Even the fairly conservative ITIS [] (the U.S.  government's Integrated Taxonomic Information System) lists 8 genera for this family.  The edgier and more genetically-oriented NCBI [] lists 13, and has made Polychrotidae a subfamily (Polychrotinae) of the family Iguanidae.  Some mention of these discrepancies with excellent authorities should be made, I would think.  Any comments?  NaySay 18:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it pronounced a-nol or a-no-ly?--207.206.137.243 17:01, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: After speaking with my friends in the biology department at the University of Texas, it seems that the accepted pronunciation in biology is /əˈnoʊl/ and possibly the dictionary.com term comes from mistaken analysis of a latinization like "anolis". It seems highly unlikely that a parochial form of pronunciation could survive at UT, where the creature is common in labs, and presumably the professors speak about them at various academic conventions.

replies: text: In colloquial speech where I live (central Florida), the e is almost always pronounced rather than silent, to the extent that I thought it was actually incorrect when I first heard someone pronounce it the other way; but I would not be surprised if the non-colloquial (i.e. professional scientific) pronunciation has it silent. I would guess that the dictionaries being cited here are basing their information off of how most people pronounce it, rather than how professional biologists would - in which case, it can be said that both pronunciations are "correct" from an informational standpoint, though they may vary by region or between biologists and non-biologists. 68.202.85.105 (talk) 00:18, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: "although the green anole can change its color based on its mood and surroundings" this is worded in a manner that leads you to believe they can change like chameleons. They do vary in intensity of colour but not hue and it is also speculated that it is a sign of stress and health rather than mood and surroundings. however i cannot remember where i got this information from, citation would be needed but i thought should raise this issue?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.80.190 (talk) 15:07, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  You are quite mistaken. I see them every day, and they DO change their color from bright green to dull brown, which is indeed a change in hue. I don't know about mood though, it seems to be entirely based on surroundings, i.e. dull brown when scurrying through dried leaves, over dirt or shady surroundings, and bright green when on plants, in the sun, or when posing.

thread_title:  Removed "Anole World" site link 

message: Hi, I do not know much about anoles, but I noticed during a stay in Guadeloupe last year, that they can alter their skin color, which is also mentioned in the introduction to the article. I took a few photos of a leopard anole hiding for prey in a bush. Whereas it was normally bright green or brown, this had a coloration which matched the bush in which it was hiding.

I do not know if inclusion of one of those photos could be relevant in the article to illustrate the skin color change feature? I will let more anole-knowledgable editors decide that. --Slaunger (talk) 09:26, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
