Kent, Please don't take my comments as being directed AT you. I completely understand you are the messenger in this scenario. I have had Francois' comment forwarded to me already, so I was aware of what he has said. However, it can be a little frustrating when someone makes a claim without...

If he has extensive field data, he should really submit them for publication and let them be evaluated by the peer review process. That is how science works.

The statement about adults was for population density data only...we have collected data on both hatchlings and juveniles for the paper on longevity.

No worries...I forgot to add in a little smiley thing in the original message. My comment was in jest. I find all chameleons fascinating, as do most people on this forum I suspect.

Hey, hey...I didn't say that I think that they are boring, it's just that many people skip over them for the flashier species.

Because I have not published those data yet, I am a bit reserved about sharing the details of that part of the study just yet. But I can tell you that they actually wander relative vast distances. I've measured males moving up to 50 meters a day and wandering over large, indefensible home...

I've never actually seen F. belalandaensis, despite intensive searching at known GPS localities, so I do not have any pictures to share. One of my colleauges has found it in 1995 and also just recently in 2008, so it still exists. I have a better idea of the specific vegetation to look in next...

I'd say both your explanations are not mutually exclusive. F. labordi certainly is in one of the harshest areas of the island. But I do agree that it is a different mechanism to deal with the unpredictability of the seasonal environment, too. At my study site, you can find both F. labordi and...

Well, I am glad this thread has veered back to something else. And I enjoyed meeting you at SICB, Chris. I certainly hope this does not appear too pretentious--I definitely don't intend it to be--but there are some other good articles on the paper that forum member might be interested in...

Yes, it will be published next week, sometime after June 30 in PNAS.

It does appear I have been beaten to the punch. As I mentioned, I just happened across this one thread and felt compelled to respond...I unfortunately have not been able to peruse many of the other good threads on the forum. But I think the most important thing is that many responsible people...

F. labordi Pardon the intrusion to this forum, I am not a chameleon breeder/keeper per se. But I would be remiss if I did not comment on this thread, which I found by happenstance. First, I'm very disappointed in the desire of some individuals to support the collection of an IUCN...
