Distribution maps III: Liolaemus

Down the hall from Dr. Crandall (whose crayfish maps I've recreated previously [1]) is Dr. Jack Sites. His area of expertise is herpetology (mouse over for definition). Several of his students have made posters about a South American genus of tree iguanas, Liolaemus. They are also known as snow swifts because they're often found in cold areas.[2] I drew distribution maps for each of the species mentioned on the posters (though this does not represent the entirety).

Since many of the Liolaemus species have a very narrow distribution, I created an inset of the map to magnify the area where they were found.

Liolaemus archeforus

Liolaemus baguali

Liolaemus darwinii

Liolaemus escarchadosi

Liolaemus gallardoi

Liolaemus grosseorum

Liolaemus hatcheri

Liolaemus kingii

Liolaemus kolengh

Liolaemus laurenti

Elegant tree igauana (Liolaemus lemniscatus)

Liolaemus lineomaculatus

Liolaemus magellanicus

Liolaemus pictus

Liolaemus sarmientoi

Liolaemus silvanae

Liolaemus somuncurae

Liolaemus tari

Jewel lizard (Liolaemus tenuis)

Liolaemus tristis

Liolaemus uptoni

Liolaemus zullyi

As before, I inserted the maps into the taxoboxes of existing articles (Liolaemus lemniscatus and Liolaemus tenuis). There are hundreds more species of Liolaemus [3], but I didn't feel like going out of my way to find their distributions. What was on the two posters was good enough for me.
