Abstract The karyotype of Amphisbaena ridleyi, an endemic species of the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, in State of Pernambuco, Brazil, is described after conventional staining, Ag-NOR impregnation and fluorescence in situ hybrid- ization (FISH) with a telomeric probe. The diploid number is 46, with nine pairs of macrochromosomes (three metacentrics, four subtelocentrics and two acrocentrics) and 14 pairs of microchromosomes. The Ag-NOR is located in the telomeric region of the long arm of metacentric chromosome 2 and FISH revealed signals only in the telomeric region of all chromosomes. Further cytogenetic data on other amphisbaenians as well as a robust phylogenetic hy- pothesis of this clade is needed in order to understand the evolutionary changes on amphisbaenian karyotypes.

  • A Catalogue of Reptiles of Monfragüe National Park (Spain), with Molecular Characterization of Populations of Blanus Wagler, 1830 in This Protected Area
    Basic and Applied Herpetology 33 (2019) 81-91 A catalogue of reptiles of Monfragüe National Park (Spain), with molecular characterization of populations of Blanus Wagler, 1830 in this protected area Daniel Fernández-Ortín1, Gregorio Sánchez-Montes2, Íñigo Martínez-Solano2,* 1 Betania, 1, bajo G, 10003 Cáceres, Spain. 2 Departamento de Biodiversidad y Biología Evolutiva, Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, José Gutiér- rez Abascal, 2, 28006 Madrid, Spain. *Correspondence: E-mail: [email protected] Received: 17 July 2019; returned for review: 29 October 2019; accepted 06 November 2017. Monfragüe National Park (Cáceres, Extremadura, Spain) is a protected area in central‐western Iberia,including some of the best preserved primary Mediterranean vegetation. Legal protection dates back to 1979 (first as a Natural Park and then as a National Park), but knowledge about its reptile communities is so far limited to sparse records. In this paper we present an updated species list based on 521 records covering 163 1x1 km UTM grids in the study area, compiled in the period 2000‐2019. We detected 20 native species, representing 71.4% of the reptile fauna in Extremadura and 35% of the ibero‐balearic reptile fauna. Additionally, based on molecular analyses populations of the amphisbaenid genus Blanus in the study area are assigned to the oriental Iberian taxon, B. cinereus. The new records extend the known distribution of the different reptile species in the study area in 56 10x10 km UTM grids. Species presenting more restricted distributions in Monfragüe are Lacerta schreiberi (one 1x1 grid), Emys orbicularis, and Acanthodactylus erythrurus (four 10x10 grids each).

Leaf anole, Anolis planiceps. [http://www.trinidad-tobagoherps.org/Images/planiceps.jpg, downloaded 24 October 2016] TRAITS. Formerly known as Anolis chrysolepis or Norops chrysolepis, the leaf anole measures up to 76mm from snout to vent according (D'Angiolella et al., 2011). The pads of their feet are specialised to help them rest on leaves and trunks (Fig. 1). They have a spotted red patch of skin below theirs jaws, which is extendable, called the dewlap (Fig. 2). The region along the lizard's spine has larger scales than the adjacent areas with those located in the mid-dorsal area being the largest. Along their heads are two prominent ridges as well as ridged (keeled) scales located above the eyes (Fig. 3). The dorsal scales of the leaf anole are several shades of brown while the ventral scales are a pale cream colour; patterns vary greatly within populations (Fig. 4) (Vanzolini and Williams, 1970). Male anoles have longer tails and the females have wider bodies and smaller dewlaps than males (Vitt and Zani, 2011). DISTRIBUTION. Leaf anoles may be found in a relatively wide range from east Venezuela to Guyana, Suriname, Columbia, Trinidad and Brazil (Fig. 5). They are found throughout the island of Trinidad primarily in terrestrial, highly forested areas (D'Angiolella et al, 2011).

  • Natural History of the Tropical Gecko Phyllopezus Pollicaris (Squamata, Phyllodactylidae) from a Sandstone Outcrop in Central Brazil
    Herpetology Notes, volume 5: 49-58 (2012) (published online on 18 March 2012) Natural history of the tropical gecko Phyllopezus pollicaris (Squamata, Phyllodactylidae) from a sandstone outcrop in Central Brazil. Renato Recoder1*, Mauro Teixeira Junior1, Agustín Camacho1 and Miguel Trefaut Rodrigues1 Abstract. Natural history aspects of the Neotropical gecko Phyllopezus pollicaris were studied at Estação Ecológica Serra Geral do Tocantins, in the Cerrado region of Central Brazil. Despite initial prospection at different types of habitats, all individuals were collected at sandstone outcrops within savannahs. Most individuals were observed at night, but several specimens were found active during daytime. Body temperatures were significantly higher in day-active individuals. We did not detect sexual dimorphism in size, shape, weight, or body condition. All adult males were reproductively mature, in contrast to just two adult females (11%), one of which contained two oviductal eggs. Dietary data indicates that P. pollicaris feeds upon a variety of arthropods. Dietary overlap between sexes and age classes was moderate to high. The rate of caudal autotomy varied between age classes but not between sexes. Our data, the first for a population ofP. pollicaris from a savannah habitat, are in overall agreement with observations made in populations from Caatinga and Dry Forest, except for microhabitat use and reproductive cycle. Keywords. Cerrado, lizard, local variation, niche breadth, thermal ecology, sexual dimorphism, tail autotomy.

  • Multi-National Conservation of Alligator Lizards
    MULTI-NATIONAL CONSERVATION OF ALLIGATOR LIZARDS: APPLIED SOCIOECOLOGICAL LESSONS FROM A FLAGSHIP GROUP by ADAM G. CLAUSE (Under the Direction of John Maerz) ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is defined by unprecedented human influence on the biosphere. Integrative conservation recognizes this inextricable coupling of human and natural systems, and mobilizes multiple epistemologies to seek equitable, enduring solutions to complex socioecological issues. Although a central motivation of global conservation practice is to protect at-risk species, such organisms may be the subject of competing social perspectives that can impede robust interventions. Furthermore, imperiled species are often chronically understudied, which prevents the immediate application of data-driven quantitative modeling approaches in conservation decision making. Instead, real-world management goals are regularly prioritized on the basis of expert opinion. Here, I explore how an organismal natural history perspective, when grounded in a critique of established human judgements, can help resolve socioecological conflicts and contextualize perceived threats related to threatened species conservation and policy development. To achieve this, I leverage a multi-national system anchored by a diverse, enigmatic, and often endangered New World clade: alligator lizards. Using a threat analysis and status assessment, I show that one recent petition to list a California alligator lizard, Elgaria panamintina, under the US Endangered Species Act often contradicts the best available science.

  • For Submission As a Note Green Anole (Anolis Carolinensis) Eggs
    For submission as a Note Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis) Eggs Associated with Nest Chambers of the Trap Jaw Ant, Odontomachus brunneus Christina L. Kwapich1 1Department of Biological Sciences, University of Massachusetts Lowell One University Ave., Lowell, Massachusetts, USA [email protected] Abstract Vertebrates occasionally deposit eggs in ant nests, but these associations are largely restricted to neotropical fungus farming ants in the tribe Attini. The subterranean chambers of ponerine ants have not previously been reported as nesting sites for squamates. The current study reports the occurrence of Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis) eggs and hatchlings in a nest of the trap jaw ant, Odontomachus brunneus. Hatching rates suggest that O. brunneus nests may be used communally by multiple females, which share spatial resources with another recently introduced Anolis species in their native range. This nesting strategy is placed in the context of known associations between frogs, snakes, legless worm lizards and ants. Introduction Subterranean ant nests are an attractive resource for vertebrates seeking well-defended cavities for their eggs. To access an ant nest, trespassers must work quickly or rely on adaptations that allow them to overcome the strict odor-recognition systems of ants. For example the myrmecophilous frog, Lithodytes lineatus, bears a chemical disguise that permits it to mate and deposit eggs deep inside the nests of the leafcutter ant, Atta cephalotes, without being bitten or harassed. Tadpoles inside nests enjoy the same physical and behavioral protection as the ants’ own brood, in a carefully controlled microclimate (de Lima Barros et al. 2016, Schlüter et al. 2009, Schlüter and Regös 1981, Schlüter and Regös 2005).
