 wildherps.com - Lozenge-marked Dragon (Ctenophorus scutulatus)
This was the only lizard I saw that afternoon other than the numerous Ctenophorus marmoratus.
It took me quite awhile to identify this lizard, because the few photos of Ctenophorus scutulatus that I managed to dig up all showed quite colorful lizards, not dull gray ones like this.
Apparently it is one of many lizard species that attain a dark coloration when their body temperatures are lower.

For my PhD, I worked on the adaptive function of animal coloration and the processes involved in color differentiation in a species complex of agamid lizards endemic to South Australia (Ctenophorus decresii species complex).
I am interested in complementing studies of micro-evolutionary processes that contribute to population differentiation with comparative analyses to identify patterns at the macro-evolutionary scale.
For example, the link between social signalling and diversification suggested by my experimental studies of the Ctenophorus decresii species complex was supported by a comparative analysis of species richness in Agamid lizards world wide, in which I found that sexual dichromatism in the Agamidae is associated with higher species richness (Stuart-Fox and Owens 2003).

 Ctenophorus pictus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Their diet consists of small insects, including ants and flies.
Taxonomy and Relationships: Ctenophorus comes from the Greek words meaning "comb bearing," in reference to the comb-like "eyelash" scales, while pictus is Latin for "painted.".
Variation: Males are much more brightly colored than females or young, having a green to blue-gray dorsum and a light head.
