  • Xenosaurus Tzacualtipantecus. the Zacualtipán Knob-Scaled Lizard Is Endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of Eastern Mexico
    Xenosaurus tzacualtipantecus. The Zacualtipán knob-scaled lizard is endemic to the Sierra Madre Oriental of eastern Mexico. This medium-large lizard (female holotype measures 188 mm in total length) is known only from the vicinity of the type locality in eastern Hidalgo, at an elevation of 1,900 m in pine-oak forest, and a nearby locality at 2,000 m in northern Veracruz (Woolrich- Piña and Smith 2012). Xenosaurus tzacualtipantecus is thought to belong to the northern clade of the genus, which also contains X. newmanorum and X. platyceps (Bhullar 2011). As with its congeners, X. tzacualtipantecus is an inhabitant of crevices in limestone rocks. This species consumes beetles and lepidopteran larvae and gives birth to living young. The habitat of this lizard in the vicinity of the type locality is being deforested, and people in nearby towns have created an open garbage dump in this area. We determined its EVS as 17, in the middle of the high vulnerability category (see text for explanation), and its status by the IUCN and SEMAR- NAT presently are undetermined. This newly described endemic species is one of nine known species in the monogeneric family Xenosauridae, which is endemic to northern Mesoamerica (Mexico from Tamaulipas to Chiapas and into the montane portions of Alta Verapaz, Guatemala). All but one of these nine species is endemic to Mexico.

  • Common Species
    Common Species on District Lands The Southwest Florida Water Management District (District) manages water resources in the west- central portion of Florida according to legislative mandates. The District uses public land acquisition funds to protect key lands for water resources. The natural communities, plants and animals on these lands also benefi t from a level of protection that can be experienced and enjoyed through recreational opportunities made available on District lands. Every year, approximately 2.5 million people visit the more than 436,000 acres of public conservation lands acquired by the District and its partners. The lands are open to the public for activities such as hiking, bicycling, hunting, horseback riding, fi shing, camping, picnicking and studying nature. The District provides these recreational opportunities so that residents may experience healthy natural communities. An array of natural landscapes is available from the meandering Outstanding Florida Southwest Florida Water Management District Waters riverine systems, the cypress domes and strands, swamps and hammocks, to the scrub, sandhill, and pine fl atwoods. The Common Species on District Lands brochure provides insight to what you may experience while recreating on public lands managed by the District.

    17 1 ANNOTATED LIST OF SPECIES Check List 17 (1): 27–38 https://doi.org/10.15560/17.1.27 A herpetological survey of Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary Dillon Jones1, Bethany Foshee2, Lee Fitzgerald1 1 Biodiversity Research and Teaching Collections, Department of Ecology and Conservation Biology, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA. 2 Houston Audubon, 440 Wilchester Blvd. Houston, TX 77079 USA. Corresponding author: Dillon Jones, [email protected] Abstract Urban herpetology deals with the interaction of amphibians and reptiles with each other and their environment in an ur- ban setting. As such, well-preserved natural areas within urban environments can be important tools for conservation. Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary is an 18-acre wooded sanctuary located west of downtown Houston, Texas and is the headquarters to Houston Audubon Society. This study compared iNaturalist data with results from visual encounter surveys and aquatic funnel traps. Results from these two sources showed 24 species belonging to 12 families and 17 genera of herpetofauna inhabit the property. However, several species common in surrounding areas were absent. Combination of data from community science and traditional survey methods allowed us to better highlight herpe- tofauna present in the park besides also identifying species that may be of management concern for Edith L. Moore.

  • Lizard ID Guide
    Lizards of Anderson County, TN Lizards are extraordinary gifts of nature. World-wide there are close to 6,000 species. The United States is home to more than100 native species, along with many exotic species that have become established, especially in Florida. Tennessee has 9 species, 6 of which are listed for Anderson County. Some are fairly widespread and easy to observe, such as the Common Five-lined Skink below. Unfortunately, the liberal use of pesticides, combined with predation by free roaming house cats have taken a heavy toll on our lizard populations. Most lizards are insect eating machines and their ecological services should be promoted through backyard and schoolyard wildlife habitat projects. Lizard watching is great fun, and over time, observers can gain interesting insights into lizard behavior. Your backyard may be a good place to start your lizarding career. This guide will be helpful for identifying our local lizards and will also provide you with examples of lizard behaviors to observe. Some species must be captured—this can be challenging—to insure accurate identification. Please see the back page for more resources. Lizarding Lizard watching, often referred to as lizarding, will likely never be as popular as bird watching (birding), but there is an advantage to being a “lizarder.” Unlike birders, you don’t need to be an early riser. Bright sunny days with warm temperatures are the keys for successful lizarding, but like birding, close-up binoculars are helpful. A lizard’s life centers around three performance activities: 1) avoiding predators, 2) feeding, and 3) reproduction. Lizard performance is all about optimal body temperature.

  • Scincella Lateralis)
    Herpetological Conservation and Biology 7(2): 109–114. Submitted: 30 January 2012; Accepted: 30 June 2012; Published: 10 September 2012. SEXUAL DIMORPHISM IN HEAD SIZE IN THE LITTLE BROWN SKINK (SCINCELLA LATERALIS) 1 BRIAN M. BECKER AND MARK A. PAULISSEN Department of Natural Sciences, Northeastern State University, Tahlequah, Oklahoma 74464, USA 1Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract.—Many species of skinks show pronounced sexual dimorphism in that males have larger heads relative to their size than females. This can occur in species in which males have greater body length and show different coloration than females, such as several species of the North American genus Plestiodon, but can also occur in species in which males and females have the same body length, or species in which females are larger than males. Another North American skink species, Scincella lateralis, does not exhibit obvious sexual dimorphism. However, behavioral data suggest sexual differences in head size might be expected because male S. lateralis are more aggressive than females and because these aggressive interactions often involve biting. In this study, we measured snout-to-vent length and head dimensions of 31 male and 35 female S. lateralis from northeastern Oklahoma. Females were slightly larger than males, but males had longer, wider, and deeper heads for their size than females. Sexual dimorphism in head size may be the result of sexual selection favoring larger heads in males in male-male contests. However, male S. lateralis are also aggressive to females and larger male head size may give males an advantage in contests with females whose body sizes are equal to or larger than theirs.

Changes in vegetation structure suchasa decrease in canopy cover or an increase in herbaceous cover from prescribed fire can increase availability of preferred microhabitats for some species while simultaneously reducing preferred conditions for others. We examined the responses of herpetofaunal communities to prescribed fires in an oak/hickory forest in western Kentucky. Prescribed fires were applied twice to a 1000-ha area one and four years prior to sampling, causing changes in vegetation structure. Herpetofaunal communities were sampled using drift fences, and vegetation attributes were sampled via transects in four burned and four unburned plots. Differences in reptile community structure correlated with variation in vegetation structure largely created by fires.

  • Texas Master Naturalist Hill Country Chapter June 2004 Newsletter
    Texas Master Naturalist Hill Country Chapter June 2004 Newsletter June 28th Meeting: A Potluck Picnic in the Park This month our meeting will be a Family Potluck Picnic in Louise Hayes Park on the Guadalupe River in Kerrville. We want our members and their families to come and get to know each other better, since we don't all volunteer for the same projects, or see each other that often since we hail from four different counties. We want this picnic to be a way to visit and enjoy each other. We have the Group Pavilion reserved from 5 PM to 9 PM, but feel free to come earlier to practice your plant and tree identification, chat with your friends, or simply enjoy the river. Bring frisbees or whatever sports equipment might be fun in the park. We plan to eat at 6 PM. Everyone is asked to bring a cold dish to share and a serving utensil. Bringing your own lawn chair will give you many more options on where you sit to enjoy the tranquility of the park, perhaps even on Tranquility Island in the middle of the river. The Chapter will provide soft drinks. If you plan to attend, please RSVP to Emily Matheson at [email protected] or 830-796-7680 so that we can have enough drinks etc.. While we welcome visitors to most of our meetings, this Picnic is for “Members Only”, and their families, and folks who have applied for our Training Classes, or who think that they might be interested in applying.
