    Chelsea Conner (@ChelseaHerps on Twitter, and @Outtochelsea on Instagram) catches us up on anoles, the incredibly biodiverse lizards of evolutionary biologists' dreams. She discusses her research on the diet of Dominica's endemic eyed anoles (Anolis oculatus) and the invasive Puerto Rican anole (A. cristatellus).
