Pygmy Chameleons of the genus Rhampholeon represent a moderately diverse, geographi- cally circumscribed radiation, with most species (18 out of 19 extant taxa) limited to East Africa. The one exception is Rhampholeon spectrum, a species restricted to West-Central African rainforests. We set out to characterize the geographic basis of genetic...

We describe Calumma vohibola sp. nov., a morphologically distinct chameleonspecies of the Calumma nasutum species group from littoral forest fragments of the northcentral east coast of Madagascar. Males and females of this species differ from all other species of the Calumma nasutum group by an almost absent rostral appendage, by acharacteristic...
During fieldwork carried out in January-February 1995 in the Strict Nature Reserve No. 9 (western Madagascar), a new species of dwarf chameleon (genus Brookesia) was discovered on the western slopes of the Antsingy forest. The inaccessible habitat of this new taxon consists of dense subhumid tropophile forest growing among the limestone blocks...

Christopher Anderson in 2018: Here is a graphic I made for some ongoing work in my lab highlighting the different parts of the axial skeleton of chameleons. This is a volume rendering of a micro-CT scan of a male Kinyongia xenorhina. In it I've segmented out and color coded the different portions of the axial skeleton as a...
Chameleons are well known to be masters of colours.
Gular pouch in chameleons is an anatomical structure located in the chin are, below the mandible, which consists of an inflatable air sac (can be one or even more), attached to the breathing system via larynx and covered by skin and underlaying structures such as tendons and muscles and bones of the chin area, mainly building part of...
Christopher Anderson: "This is a volume rendering of a µCT scan of a male Trioceros johnstoni skull with the different cranial bones segmented out into their own materials, and then a partially completed 3D printed model of the skull articulated together."
A new species of miniature Brookesia, named Brookesia (Evoluticauda) nofy, has been discovered in the eastern littoral forests of Madagascar, specifically from Ankanin'ny Nofy and formally described.
