Numbers <strong>of</strong> <strong>lizard</strong> species recognised as a function <strong>of</strong> their year <strong>of</strong> description<br />
The numbers <strong>of</strong> species <strong>of</strong> <strong>lizard</strong>s recognised by Uetz (The reptile database CD-ROM<br />
edition, October 2006. Heidelberg, Germany), as a function <strong>of</strong> the year in which these<br />
species were first described.<br />
a. The number <strong>of</strong> recognised species described each year, 1758-2005. The line is<br />
a least-square regression line (slope = 2.00±0.24, R 2 = 0.25, p < 0.0001).<br />
b. The number <strong>of</strong> recognised species described each year since the end <strong>of</strong> world<br />
war II, 1946-2005. The line is a least-square regression line (slope =<br />
0.74±0.07, R 2 = 0.67, p < 0.0001).<br />
c. The cumulative number <strong>of</strong> <strong>lizard</strong> species in the Uetz 2006 taxonomy, by year.
