Origin of the green iguana (Iguana iguana) invasion in the greater Caribbean Region and Fiji

Invasive populations of green iguanas (Iguanidae: Iguana iguana) are widely established beyond their native Central, South American, and Lesser Antillean range in various islands of the Pacific,…

Case study of a Rapid Response Removal Campaign for the invasive alien green iguana, Iguana iguana

The Invasive Alien Green Iguana (IAGI), Iguana iguana , has spread worldwide via the pet trade, as stowaways and via other means and has become a pest species of global concern. It also represents a…

Abstract: This study investigated the frequency and distribution of reports of free-living green iguanas (Iguana iguana), a Neotropical lizard, in Hong Kong. We found 44 reports of I. iguana, of…

Population estimate, natural history and conservation of the melanistic Iguana Iguana population on Saba, Caribbean Netherlands

Intraspecific diversity is among the most important biological variables, although still poorly understood for most species. Iguana iguana is a Neotropical lizard known from Central and South…

Mixed-species exhibits in zoological institutions have a long history, providing the operational benefits of maximizing space use and increasing holding capacity without changing space requirements, and create more dynamic experiences for patrons and promote education of ecosystem values when taxa from similar natural environments are displayed together.

Illegal trade of morphologically distinct populations prior to taxonomic assessment and elevation, with recommendations for future prevention

A genus-wide analysis of genetic variation to guide population management, hybrid identification, and monitoring of invasions and illegal trade in Iguana (Reptilia: Iguanidae)

Overall, this work provides a reference for Iguana microsatellite loci in order to allow standardization and comparison among studies, aiding broader assessment of research and conservation hypotheses.

Interviews with farmers suggest negative direct and indirect effects of the invasive green iguana (Iguana iguana) on agriculture in Puerto Rico

Agricultural communities and crop production are negatively impacted by invasive species, with the effects of pathogenic fungi, parasitic insects and weedy plants being well studied. Mammals and…

Green Iguanas (Iguana iguana) in Puerto Rico: is it time for management?

Evidence is found that I. iguana is threatening native biodiversity and impacting infrastructure, agriculture and human safety, and a management program to control the species must soon be developed to prevent this invasive reptile from becoming more widespread and dominant in other localities around the island.

Biology and Impacts of Pacific Island Invasive Species. 10. Iguana iguana, the Green Iguana (Squamata: Iguanidae)1

The model predicted high climatic suitability for these reptiles on many Pacific islands, including those where populations have already been reported, and evaluated the risk of a green iguana invasion on Pacific islands using the maximum entropy nichemodeling algorithm (MaxEnt).

The Lesser Antillean Iguana (Iguana delicatissima) on St. Eustatius: Genetically Depauperate and Threatened by Ongoing Hybridization

There is a continued region-wide threat to I. delicatissima and the need for immediate conservation action to stop the continuing spread of Green Iguanas and to eliminate hybridization from St. Eustatius.

Monitoring, modeling and harvest management of non-native invasive green iguanas on Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

The green iguana ( Iguana iguana ) was most likely introduced as a pet and became overabundant during the last 20 years on Grand Cayman, and over 874,252 green iguanas were removed between October 2018 and August 2019.

Genetic Evidence of Hybridization between the Endangered Native Species Iguana delicatissima and the Invasive Iguana iguana (Reptilia, Iguanidae) in the Lesser Antilles: Management Implications

Investigating the hybridization dynamics between the endemic and threatened Lesser Antillean iguana and the invasive common green iguana in the LesserAntilles as well as assessing the impact of interspecific hybridization on the decline of I. delicatissima and practical conservation recommendations are being discussed in the light of these findings.

The aggressive invasion of exotic reptiles in Florida with a focus on prominent species: A review

The situation in Florida is reviewed, including assessment of risk for management, and a subset of prominent species are used to illustrate in more detail the array of invasive reptile species circumstances in Florida, including routes of introduction, impacts, and potential and implemented management actions.

Illegal trade of morphological distinct population prior to taxonomic assessment and elevation, with recommendations for future prevention

A novel case where an insular endemic form of the Iguana iguana complex has entered the international commercial trade, likely stimulated by efforts to elevate the form taxonomically.

A check list and population trends of invasive amphibians and reptiles in Taiwan

For the first time, a comprehensive survey of invasive herpetofauna in Taiwan is reported, which should provide a valuable reference to other regions which might suffer from similar invasion risk.
