English: A photograph of Furcifer labordi.Labord's Chameleon from Madagascar

Adult male Labord's chameleon (Furcifer labordi) from southwestern Madagascar. They are a species of tetrapod (four-limbed vertebrates). F. labordi have the shortest lifespan ever recorded for a four-legged vertebrate animal--just 4-5 months, post-hatch--and spend more of their short life inside the egg than outside. No other tetrapods are known to have this short a life span. These findings suggest that the rapid death of chameleons in captivity may, for some species, actually represent the natural adult life span. Labord's chameleons hatch from eggs in November, then grow at an astonishing rate, reaching sexual maturity by January. They battle fiercely over mates, then breed and lay their eggs by February, after which they will promptly drop dead. For the next nine months, the entire species is represented only by eggs. More about this Image Christopher John Raxworthy received a CAREER (Faculty Early Career Advancement) award from the National Science Foundation to complete a survey of amphibians, reptiles and small mammals and their co-evolved parasites at 15 sites in the Tsaratanana Massif Complex of Madagascar; describe new species, revise taxonomic groups and produce species lists, monographs, keys and field guides; and establish a Web site-accessible database for use with future research work and conservation planning.

When he began his research, only about 400 species of Malagasy reptiles and amphibians had been identified, and the information available about these species was often inaccurate or incomplete. Through his research, Raxworthy has found (and is now describing) more than 150 new species and has added a wealth of information to the database on known species. Currently, he is focusing his research on chameleon systematics, a project that includes field surveys in remote, mountainous areas of northern Madagascar. Many of these areas have never been previously explored or surveyed. [Research supported by NSF grant DEB 99-84496.]
