  • Checklist of Amphibians and Reptiles of Morocco: a Taxonomic Update and Standard Arabic Names
    Herpetology Notes, volume 14: 1-14 (2021) (published online on 08 January 2021) Checklist of amphibians and reptiles of Morocco: A taxonomic update and standard Arabic names Abdellah Bouazza1,*, El Hassan El Mouden2, and Abdeslam Rihane3,4 Abstract. Morocco has one of the highest levels of biodiversity and endemism in the Western Palaearctic, which is mainly attributable to the country’s complex topographic and climatic patterns that favoured allopatric speciation. Taxonomic studies of Moroccan amphibians and reptiles have increased noticeably during the last few decades, including the recognition of new species and the revision of other taxa. In this study, we provide a taxonomically updated checklist and notes on nomenclatural changes based on studies published before April 2020. The updated checklist includes 130 extant species (i.e., 14 amphibians and 116 reptiles, including six sea turtles), increasing considerably the number of species compared to previous recent assessments. Arabic names of the species are also provided as a response to the demands of many Moroccan naturalists. Keywords. North Africa, Morocco, Herpetofauna, Species list, Nomenclature Introduction mya) led to a major faunal exchange (e.g., Blain et al., 2013; Mendes et al., 2017) and the climatic events that Morocco has one of the most varied herpetofauna occurred since Miocene and during Plio-Pleistocene in the Western Palearctic and the highest diversities (i.e., shift from tropical to arid environments) promoted of endemism and European relict species among allopatric speciation (e.g., Escoriza et al., 2006; Salvi North African reptiles (Bons and Geniez, 1996; et al., 2018).

  • I Online Supplementary Data – Henle, K. & A. Grimm-Seyfarth (2020
    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.

  • A Molecular Study of the Genus Agama (Squamata : Agamidae)
    Russian Journal of Herpetology Vol. 19, No. 2, 2012, pp. 115 – 142 A MOLECULAR STUDY OF THE GENUS Agama (SQUAMATA: AGAMIDAE) IN WEST AFRICA, WITH DESCRIPTION OF TWO NEW SPECIES AND A REVIEW OF THE TAXONOMY, GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION, AND ECOLOGY OF CURRENTLY RECOGNIZED SPECIES Oleg Mediannikov,1 Sébastien Trape,2 and Jean-François Trape1,3 Submitted March 25, 2011. We conducted field studies in 15 West African countries and collected one thousand specimens of lizards of the genus Agama. Based on these collections, literature, molecular analysis of selected specimens, and examination of Linnean type-specimens of A. agama, we review the phylogeny, taxonomy, geographic distribution and ecology of the West African species of the genus Agama. Seventeen different species are recognized in the genus Agama in West Africa, northern Cameroon and Chad: A. africana, A. agama, A. boensis, A. boueti, A. boulengeri, A. castroviejoi, A. cristata, A. doriae benueensis, A. gracilimembris, A. insularis, A. lebretoni, A. paragama, A. sankaranica, A. weidholzi, and three new species. We design a lectotype for A. agama (Linnaeus, 1758) and attribute to A. wagneri, sp. nov., the populations from northern and central Cameroon of the A. agama complex. Agama parafricana, sp. nov., is described from wet savanna areas of Togo and Benin. Agama sylvanus from south- ern Ghana is a junior synonym of A. africana. Agama cf. impalearis from northern Niger and Mali corresponds to an nondescribed species. Agama boensis is resurrected from the synonymy of A. sankaranica. According to biogeographic areas, four species are Sahelian, seven species are Sudanian, four species are Guinean, and two species are ubiquitous.

  • Padial Mauritania
    Graellsia, 62(2): 159-178 (2006) COMMENTED DISTRIBUTIONAL LIST OF THE REPTILES OF MAURITANIA (WEST AFRICA) J. M. Padial1 ABSTRACT This is the first comprehensive review of the reptiles of Mauritania. It includes dis- tributional information and comments. Mauritania harbors 86 species of reptiles belon- ging to 21 families. Among these families, Colubridae and Lacertidae are the most diverse, with 14 and 13 species respectively. Other families, such as Agamidae, Gekkonidae, Scincidae or Viperidae are also well represented. Among the 80 continen- tal species, 47.5% are Saharan, 33.8% Afrotropical, 16.2% Sahelian and 2.5% Mediterranean. The marine turtles form another important group, with six species. Eight species are excluded from the country list because of old identification errors, there is not enough evidence of their presence or due to changes in political borders. Among the species expected to occur in Mauritania, at least nine may occur in Saharan environ- ments, 13 in the Sahel savannah and two may have been introduced. Key words: Distribution, checklist, Mauritania, Africa, Reptilia, Sahara, Sahel.

  • Exceptional Occurrences of Double, Triple and Quintuple Tails in An
    SALAMANDRA 56(4): 373–391 Supernumerary tails in reptiles SALAMANDRA 30 October 2020 ISSN 0036–3375 German Journal of Herpetology Exceptional occurrences of double, triple and quintuple tails in an Australian lizard community, with a review of supernumerary tails in natural populations of reptiles Klaus Henle & Annegret Grimm-Seyfarth UFZ – Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research, Department of Conservation Biology, Permoserstr. 13, 04318 Leipzig, Germany Corresponding author: Klaus Henle, e-mail: [email protected] Manuscript received: 28 May 2019 Accepted: 21 July 2020 by Alexander Kupfer Abstract. For centuries, tail duplications in reptiles have attracted human curiosity, and publications on anecdotal observa- tions of supernumerary tails have grown considerably over recent years. However, there is no recent review on the occur- rence of supernumerary tails in reptiles and the consequent effects on individuals. We provide new data on the frequency of supernumerary tails, including unprecedented frequencies and observations of tail triplication and quintuplication, from our own studies in arid Australia and from literature reviews. Our observations include data for a gecko species (Gehyra variegata) and three species of skinks (Eremiascincus richardsonii, Lerista punctatovittata, Morethia boulengeri) for which supernumerary tails have not been reported so far. We assume that hyperregeneration (following injuries inflicted by preda- tors, sharp-edged window glass, and unknown factors) was the cause for the cases observed by us. Our review spans two millennia of published works describing supernumerary tails in 146 identified species of reptiles and up to 16 unidentified species. We assess the taxonomic and geographic distributions and the microhabitats of these 146 species, while also com- menting on the potential causes and effects of supernumerary tails.

  • Tail Bifurcation in the African Rainbow Lizard (Agama Picticauda Peters 1877) from Ghana, West Africa
    Herpetology Notes, volume 11: 843-845 (2018) (published online on 28 September 2018) Tail bifurcation in the African Rainbow lizard (Agama picticauda Peters 1877) from Ghana, West Africa Benjamin Yeboah Ofori1,*, Princess Martey1, Yahaya Musah1, and Daniel Attuquayefio1 The African Rainbow lizard (Agama picticauda Peters decline in social status and reproductive fitness as 1877) is one of the most common and widespread they become competitively inferior and sexually reptiles in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in urban unattractive (Martin and Salvador, 1993; Maginnis, and suburban areas (Leaché et al., 2014; Wagner et 2006). However, like most lizards, African Rainbow al., 2009a). It is the only species in the Agama agama lizards undergo caudal autotomy (tail shedding) to species group that has extensive African distribution escape predation and sometimes during intraspecific from Mauritania to Ethiopia (Leaché et al., 2017). aggression or territorial conflicts (Tyler et al., 2016; The species exhibits sexual dimorphism with females, Koleska et al., 2017a; LeBlanc et al., 2018). After a tail immatures and subdominant males possessing a is shed, a process of regeneration is initiated to replace uniformly brown-grey body and limbs with olive green the autotomized tail (Casas et al., 2016).
