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 darwinii |

Liolaemus escarchadosi |

Liolaemus grosseorum |

Liolaemus laurenti |

Liolaemus lineomaculatus |
|
Liolaemus magellanicus |
|
Liolaemus pictus |
|
Liolaemus sarmientoi |

|
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.
