Slender Anole (Anolis fuscoauratus)
Reptiles of Ecuador | Sauria | Anolidae | Anolis fuscoauratus
English common names: Slender Anole, Slender Amazon Anole, Brown-eared Anole.
Spanish common names: Anolis esbelto, anolis delgado.
Recognition: ♂♂ 15.2 cmMaximum distance from the snout to the tip of the tail. Snout–vent length=5.1 cm. ♀♀ 15.6 cmMaximum distance from the snout to the tip of the tail. Snout–vent length=5.4 cm..1,2 Anoles are easily distinguishable from other lizards by their diurnal habits, extensible dewlap in males, expanded digital pads, and granular scales on the dorsum and belly. The Slender Anole (Anolis fuscoauratus) can be identified based on its small body size, uniform brown coloration, and rose-pink dewlap with white scales in males.3,4 Females usually have a pale cream vertebral stripe (Fig. 1) and a rudimentary dewlap.3,5 Anolis fuscoauratus is often confused with A. ortonii, which has a yellow-striped bright orange dewlap, and A. trachyderma, which has a small orange-yellow dewlap with black scales.6,7

Natural history: Anolis fuscoauratus is usually the most common anole wherever it occurs,2,8,9 particularly in terra firme forest, although it also occurs in igapó (=blackwater-flooded forests) and inundated forests along white-water rivers.7,10,11 This species inhabits pristine rainforests as well as logged forests, edge situations, tree plantations, banana groves, cacao groves, and rural gardens.2–6 Slender Anoles are included in the “grass-bush” anole ecomorph12 because they primarily use the undergrowth and herbaceous forest strata.7,9 However, individuals foraging on branches at 35 m above the ground are not uncommon.2 Activity occurs from sunrise to sunset,11 especially on tree trunks and palm fronds,13 but also on twigs, branches, banana leaves, logs, leaf-litter, shrubs, small saplings, and fence posts within 1 m from the ground.3–14 Slender Anoles are primarily active in the shade,11 at ambient temperatures ~27°C,11 but also bask during the early morning.4–7 At night, individuals roost at heights of 0.1–8.4 m above the ground on flimsy perches (mostly leaves, twigs, and grasses)1,6,7 that will move if disturbed by a predator.2 Anolis fuscoauratus is an ambush predator7,9 that feeds primarily on spiders, beetles, and crickets,11,13 but also on at least 20 other prey items, from insect larvae to stingless bees and pseudoscorpions.6–8 Males defend territories by performing head bobs and dewlap displays.7 Females lay one egg at a time,9 up to three times per year,15 and the incubation period is 53–63 days (~2 months).6 Breeding seems to take place year-round throughout the Amazon.4 Slender Anoles escape predators by remaining perfectly still; which, combined with their twig camouflage, makes them hard to detect.2 If on a trunk, they move to the opposite side or run up along the trunk.4,8,9 Predators include snakes (notably Imantodes cenchoa,7,16 but also Chironius multiventris,17 Drymoluber dichrous,18 and Xenoxybelis argenteus4), birds (Monasa morphoeus),2 whiptail lizards,19 spiders,20 and whipscorpions.21 Roaches have been observed feeding on the tears of an A. fuscoauratus.22
Conservation: Least Concern Believed to be safe from extinction given current circumstances..23 Anolis fuscoauratus is listed in this category given its wide distribution, presence in major protected areas, lack of widespread threats, and presumed large stable populations.23
Distribution: Anolis fuscoauratus is widely distributed throughout the Amazon basin in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.10 The species also occurs in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil.10 In Ecuador, A. fuscoauratus has been recorded at elevations between 99 and 1920 m (Fig. 2).

Etymology: The generic name Anolis is thought to have originated from Cariban languages, specifically from the word anoli, which is the name Arawak peoples may have used to refer to this group of lizards.24 The specific epithet fuscoauratus comes from the Latin words fuscus (=dusky) and auratus (=golden),25 and refers to the coloration of the alcohol-preserved holotype.
See it in the wild: Slender Anoles are easily located in forested areas throughout the species’ area of distribution in Ecuador. Some of the best localities to find these lizards are Yasuní Scientific Station, Cuyabeno Reserve, and Jatun Sacha Biological Reserve. The anoles can be spotted by scanning the understory vegetation along forest trails at night.
