    Online Supplementary data – Henle, K. & A. Grimm-Seyfarth (2020): Exceptional numbers of occurrences of bifurcated, double, triple, and quintuple tails in an Australian lizard community, with a review of supernumerary tails in natural populations of reptiles. – Salamandra, 56: 373–391 Supplementary document S1. Database on bifurcation, duplication and multiplication of tails in natural populations of reptiles. We considered only data that were provided at least at the genus level and that explicitly originated from natural populations or for which this was likely, as either the authors indicated for other specimens that they were captive animals, or because museum series were examined (even if data were provided only for the specimens with accessory tails). We relaxed these criteria for pre-1900 publications and included also individuals without determination and data that were not explicitly stated as applying to wild individuals if such an origin was plausible. We extracted the following data (if available): species name, number of individuals with accessory tails, number of individuals with bifurcation, duplication, trifurcation, quadruplication, quintuplication and hexaplication, sample size, geographic origin (usually country but may also be oceanic islands), microhabitat, and the year of publication. Nomenclature follows Cogger (2014) for Australian reptiles and Uetz et al. (2019) for other species regarding generic names, name changes due to priorities and synonymies, and for subspecies identified in the source reference that have been elevated later to full species rank. Name changes due to splitting of taxa into several species were made only if allocation of the data to the new species was obvious from morphological or geographic information provided by the assessed source reference or was already done by other authors.

Arxius de Miscel·lània Zoològica, 15: 224–228. Abstract First record of tail bifurcations in the snake–eyed skink Ablepharus kitaibelii Bibron & Bory de Saint–Vincent, 1833 from Pastrina hill (northwestern Bulgaria).— We report for the frst time on the occurrence of tail bifurcations in the snake–eyed skink (A. kitaibelii). This mor- phological anomaly was identifed during a four–year monitoring program conducted in a herpetological hot–spot at Pastrina hill (northwestern Bulgaria). From a total of 415 captured specimens, four animals (0.96%) showed symmetrical or asymmetrical lateral duplication of the tail. Only bifurcations of the distal–most caudal section were detected in contrast to some other lizards (e.g. Gekkonidae, Lacertidae, Teiidae) that are reported to survive with bifurcations at more proximal tail sections. Key words: Lizard, Autotomy, Regeneration Resumen Primer registro de bifurcación caudal en Ablepharus kitaibelii Bibron & Bory de Saint–Vincent, 1833 del monte Pastrina (noroeste de Bulgaria).— Registramos el primer caso de bifurca- ciones caudales en A. kitaibelii.

    Tail bifurcation in Common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis LAURENTI, 1768) from Liguria, Italy Lukáš Pola & Daniel Koleška Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Faculty of Agrobiology, Food and Natural Resources, Department of Zoology and Fisheries, Kamýcká 129, 165 00 Praha – Suchdol, Czech Republic, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Podarcis muralis (LAURENTI, 1768) or the Common wall lizard is a species of a lizard family Lacertidae. It is widely distributed lizard in most of Europe. It ranges from northern Spain, through France, southern Belgium, Luxembourg, west-central Germany, south-eastern Czech Republic, central Slovakia, central Hungary, most of the Balkans and northwestern Anatolia, Turkey. It occurs also on Jersey, Channel Islands (United Kingdom). It has been introduced to the United States. It is found from sea level up to 2500 m a. s. l. Herein, we report another record among Lacertidae and the first record of tail bifurcation in Podarcis muralis from Liguria region, Italy. Keywords: bifurcation, Lacertidae, Podarcis muralis, Liguria 1. Introduction Tail bifurcation is relatively frequent malformation that has already been recorded among different lizard families, including Gekkonidae (De Andrade et al., 2015; Kumbar et al., 2011), Agamidae (Ananjeva & Danov, 1991), Anguidae (Conzendey et al., 2013), Gymnothalmidae (Pheasey et al., 2013), Iguanidae (Koleska et al., 2017), Lacertidae (Brock et al., 2014; Dudek & Ekner-Grzyb, 2014; Koleska et al., 2017; Tamar et al., 2013), Phrynosomatidae (Mata-Silva et al., 2010; 2013), Scincidae (Jablonski, 2016; Vergilov & Natchev, 2017), Teiidae (Cordes & Walker, 2013; Gogliath et al., 2012; Pelegrin & Leão, 2015) and Tropiduridae (Martins et al., 2013). Sometimes even trifucation (Koleska & Jablonski, 2015) or hexafurcation (Pelegrin & Leão, 2015) of lizard’s tail may occur.
