 The Invader of the Month: The Brown Anole, Anolis sagrei   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The brown anole is thought to be responsible for a dramatic decline of previously stable urban and rural populations of the green anole, the only anole native to the United States.
Despite declines, green anole populations often remain viable in the face of dense brown anole populations when understory vegetation is present, suggesting that suitable cover for hatchlings is important for long-term green anole survival.
Anoles are native to all the islands of the Caribbean (Schwartz and Henderson 1991) and are widespread in mainland South and Central America (Etheridge and DeQuiroz 1988), but only the green anole (Anolis carolinensis) is native to North America.
