We set 14 transects along the city, 100 m long each, and used active visual search to find Anolis sagrei (5 m/min.) in Panama City, Panama and are surrounded by high traffic roads and buildings. All the specimens found were georeferenced in WGS 1984 datum

Cobertura Taxonómica
We identified Anolis sagrei based on the set of diagnostic characters proposed by Köhler (2008). This is composed of compressed tail, orange to red dewlap with a yellow margin and scales and enlarged post-anals. Sebastian Lotzkat confirmed the species identification.

Datos del Proyecto
Anolis sagrei Duméril & Bibron, 1837 is one of the most widespread reptiles in the world, having colonized more than 15 countries on two continents. It inhabits open areas and is commonly found around big cities. We noticed the presence of an unreported, nonnative population in Panama City, Panama, which has been established since at least five years. We report Anolis sagrei for the first time in Panama based on collected specimens. We argue that the species is currently abundant in some areas and it could be a threat for native species

Descripción del Diseño | On March 26th 2018, we received a photograph from the Director of the Audubon Society Panama, R. Miro, of an anole near the Panama Railway Company at Albrook (Fig. 1; 8.9699°N; 79.5622°W). The photo showed a courting pair of anoles in the border of a planter of ornamental ferns (Fig. 2A). A month later we received another photo from an ornithologist, R. Jordan, of an anole from 50th Street, downtown Panama City (8.9805°N; 79.5209°W), one of the most used roads in the city (Fig. 1–2). We went to those locations and confirmed the presence of the non-native Anolis sagrei. The only vegetation available to the lizards were small patches of gardens and scattered trees (Fig. 2). We set 14 transects along the city, 100 m long each, and used active visual search to find anoles (5 m/min.). All surveyed areas are within Panama City and are surrounded by high traffic roads and buildings. All the specimens found were georeferenced in WGS 1984 datum. The A distribution was created using QGIS (QGIS, 2018) with an OSM layer (OSM contributors 2015). |

Descripción de la metodología paso a paso:
- The species may have been unnoticed in Panama City, because it can easily be confused with the native A. gaigei (C. Jaramillo Pers. Comm.). Distinguishing the species mainly relies on the smaller dewlap with a yellow margin (see Figs. 3 C-D in Köhler et al., 2012:), and compressed tail in A. sagrei (Köhler, 2008; see Figs. 4F and 7C-D in Köhler et al., 2012). Anolis sagrei also often occupies open and urbanized areas and shows behavioral repertoires that are not observed in A. gaigei, such as aggressive responses of males to approaching males or even females. Anolis gaigei is more secretive and it is mainly found in low semideciduous forests and bushy savannahs, usually on trees or fences enclosing cattle pastures.
