Anyone interested in Phelsuma grandis will enjoy reading this study. It takes about 30 seconds to load but is very much worth the wait.

Thanks! 12 months on Madagascar,wow! I wish I could take part in that kind of exploration!

PiTi, me too. I liked how they showed that habitat type had less to due with population density than available food resources. We find the same in the introduced wild populations in South Florida.

Thanks for the link! Interesting that the grandis were found much more often in the orcards than in the forest.

Although many texts say Phelsuma grandis are followers of human civilization this paper better defines the relationship.

In South Florida there is a large wild population that behaves in a similar manner.
