'''Iguania''' is an [[Order (biology)|infraorder]] of [[Squamata|squamate]] [[reptile]]s that includes [[iguanas]], [[chameleon]]s, [[agamid]]s, and [[New World]] lizards like [[anoles]] and [[Phrynosomatidae|phrynosomatids]]. Consisting of nearly 13,000 named species. T Using [[morphology (biology)|morphological]] features as a guide to evolutionary relationships, the Iguania are believed to form the [[sister group]] to the remainder of the Squamata. However, molecular information has placed Iguania well within the Squamata as sister taxa to the [[Anguimorpha]] and closely related to [[snakes]].<ref name="Vidal2005">{{cite journal|last1=Vidal |first1=N. |last2=Hedges |first2=S.

Iguania is an infraorderofsquamate reptiles that includes iguanas, chameleons, agamids, and New World lizards like anoles and phrynosomatids. Using morphological features as a guide to evolutionary relationships, the Iguania are believed to form the sister group to the remainder of the Squamata,[1] which comprise nearly 11,000 named species, roughly 2000 of which are iguanians. However, molecular information has placed Iguania well within the Squamata as sister taxa to the Anguimorpha and closely related to snakes.[2] The order has been under debate and revisions after being classified by Charles Lewis Camp in 1923 due to difficulties finding adequate synapomorphic morphological characteristics.[3] Most iguanians are arboreal but there are several terrestrial groups. They usually have primitive fleshy, non-prehensile tongues, although the tongue is highly modified in chameleons.[citation needed] Today they are scattered occurring in Madagascar, the Fiji and Friendly Islands and Western Hemisphere.[4]

Classification

[edit]

The Iguania currently include these extant families:[5][6]

Phylogeny

[edit]

Below is a cladogram from the phylogenetic analysis of Daza et al. (2012) (a morphological analysis), showing the interrelationships of extinct and living iguanians:[3]

Iguanomorpha

Hoyalacerta sanzi

Iguania
Chamaeleontiformes
Iguanoidea (=Pleurodonta)
Euiguana

The extinct Arretosauridae (Paleogene iguanians from Central Asia) are alternatively classified in either the Acrodonta with other Old World iguanians, or in Pleurodonta as a sister group to the Crotaphytidae.[7][8]

Conservation status

[edit]

As of 2020 The IUCN Red List of endangered species lists 63.3% of the species as Least concern, 6.7% Near Threatened, 8.2 vulnerable, 9.1% endangered, 3.1% critically endangered, 0.3 extinct and 9.2% data deficient. The major threats include agriculture, residential and commercial development.[9]
