Liolaemus for life among the crevices in outcrops of boulders. Only one species of Liolaemus is 

 commonly found on trees. 



Clearly the large number of species, the great range in latitude and elevation, the occurrence of 

 multiple syntopic species in many regions, and the great diversity in characteristics such as body size, 

 morphology, c6et, reproductive mode, and microhabitat selection insures that these lizards will be the 

 subjects of biologicaJ investigations for many years to come. Our purpose in preparing this hst of 

 valid names and synonymies, and bibliography is to help facilitate those studies. 



Content & How to Use Tms Bibliography 



The bibliography contains references written in English, French, German, Italian, Latin, 

 Portuguese, and Spanish, and spans about three centuries of research. We made every effort to locate 

 the original work for each citation in an attempt to avoid the errors associated with copying 

 bibliographies from secondary sources. We also attempted to include the full citations for the 

 references rather than to use abbreviations; however, in a few cases we were unable to locate the 

 primary reference and thus had to rely on citations from other resources. Originally, this bibliography 

 included 43 secondary references in which only earlier works were cited, and 1 14 citations of 

 published abstracts of papers given at meetings. Because of page hmitations, these citations have 

 been removed. Despite our attempts to make this bibliography as error-free and comprehensive as 

 possible, undoubtedly we have made mistakes and missed some citations. With the help of our 

 colleagues we hope that we can remedy this shortfall and keep the list up to date by receiving notices 

 or reprints of work relating to this fascinating group of lizards. This hst, in an electronic format 

 (contact first author for web address), will be updated as new references are received 



The references are ordered alphabetically, by the last name of the first author, and next by the 

 year the paper was published. In cases of multiple authorship, the same principle above follows, with 

 the citations listed by the second author's last name and so forth. Because publication dates are 

 sometimes not the same as print dates, some citations are followed by a year in brackets (e.g., 

 [1991]). In such instances, the year for the reference should be cited (or searched for) using the 

 publication date not the bracketed print date. 



A "t.d." before a species name in an annotation indicates that the reference is the source of the 

 original type description for a given taxon. The spelling of taxa in annotations follows the 

 orthography of the publications cited and no assumptions were made regarding the current identity of 

 these taxa. Users should refer to the Taxonomy section for synonomys and current useage. 

 Annotations are lacking for many shorter publications for which the contents are explicitly stated in 

 the title. 



We are aware that the utility of this bibliography would be greatly enhanced by the addition of 

 one or more indexes. We hope that future editions may include indexes, and encourage those who are 

 interested m particular aspects of liolaemine biology (e.g., behavior, life history, taxonomy, etc.) to 

 prepare indexes for their topics of interest and share them with our fellow researchers. 



Acknowledgments 



Many of our colleagues and friends assisted by sending their references or reprints and, were 

 it not for their efforts, assembling this bibliography would have been much more difficult. Among 

 them, we would hke to thank Luciano Avila, Dan Blackburn, Fehx Cruz, Kevin de Queiroz, Lee 

 Fitzgerald, Ligia Krause, Fernando Lobo, Ricardo Montero, Jimmy McGuire, Scott Moody, Herman 

 Nunez, Martha Raim'rez Pinilla, Fred Rocha, Miguel Rodriguez, Kurt Schwenk, Norm Scott, Laura 

 Vega, Van Wallach, and Jorge Williams. We would like to extend a special thanks to Jorge Wilhams 

 who allowed us to incorporate numerous citations from a similar bibhography that he was preparing. 

 We thank Heather Powell and the hbrarians directing die interiibrary loan services at San Diego State 

 University and at the University of Nevada, Reno for helping us to procure some of the more 

 difficult-to-obtain references. Carrie Carreno, Fernando Lobo, and Heather Powell helped to check 

 earlier versions of the bibliography for errors. During the preparation of this bibhography, the junior 

 author was supported by a Porter Fellowship from the American Society of Physiologists and the 

 Biological Resources Research Center at the University of Nevada, Reno.
