''Anolis'', or anoles, is a genus of iguanian (anole) lizards belonging to the family Dactyloidae. With 391 species, ''Anolis'' represents the world's most species-rich amniote tetrapod genus. == Taxonomy == This very large genus displays considerable paraphyly, but phylogenetic analysis suggests a number of subgroups or clades.〔〔(GLOR, RICHARD E.; JONATHAN B. LOSOS; and ALLAN LARSON (2005). Out of Cuba: overwater dispersal and speciation among lizards in the ''Anolis carolinensis'' subgroup. ''Molecular Ecology'' 14: 2419–2432. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-294X.2005.02550.x )〕 These include; * ''carolinensis'' (13 species) * ''isolepis'' (3 species) Several species of ''Anolis'' are occasionally ascribed to the genus ''Norops'', but the validity of the ''Norops'' genus is not widely accepted. The green anole (''Anolis carolinensis'') has recently become the first reptile to have its complete genome sequenced.〔(Anolis Genome Sequencing Project ), Broad Institute〕 Closely related, recently diverged anole lizards exhibited more divergence in thermal biology than in morphology. These anole lizards are thought to have the same structural niche and have similarities in their size and shape. However they inhabited different climatic niches in which there was variability in temperature and openness of the environment. This suggests that thermal physiology is more associated with recently diverged anole lizards.〔Losos, J. B. (2009). Lizards in an evolutionary tree: ecology and adaptive radiation of anoles.
