More spiders eating anoles (for previous aranean saurivory, see this and that). This time it’s a brown anole, A. sagrei (also, this time), falling prey to a ctenid spider in Cuba. This one’s particularly gruesome–the head’s already digested away and eaten! The authors are Elier Fonseca Hernández and Tomás M. Rodríguez-Cabrera and the paper’s just out in the most recent issue of IRCF Reptiles & Amphibians.
Professor of Biology and Director of the Living Earth Collaborative at Washington University in Saint Louis. I've spent my entire professional career studying anoles and have discovered that the more I learn about anoles, the more I realize I don't know.
