A new species of chameleon (Sauria: Chamaeleonidae: Nadzikambia) from Mount Mabu, central Mozambique

Studies on chameleon systematics have proliferated in recent years, stimulated both by increasing access to remote areas and to technological innovations in the analysis of species boundaries and phylogenetic relationships (Townsend & Larson 2002; Matthee et al. 2004; Mariaux & Tilbury 2006; Tilbury et al. 2006; Tolley et al. 2006). It has become increasingly evident that high chameleon diversity is often associated with montane forest habitats (Mariaux & Tilbury 2006; Raxworthy & Nussbaum 2006; Tolley et al. 2008), which also face increasing threats from anthropogenic pressure and from predicted climate change.
