Reptiles and Amphibians of Otago
Society for Research on Amphibians and Reptiles in New Zealand (SRARNZ) presents Reptiles and Amphibians of Otago Otago is a large (31,251 km2) and lightly populated region of the southern South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand, stretching from the eastern coastline west to the Southern Alps. The earliest humans, of East Polynesian origin, arrived about 700 years ago. The largest settlement today is the coastal city of Dunedin (pop. >127,000), which grew from a Scottish influx in the 1800s. The Otago Regional Council administers the region, and tribal authority (mana whenua) rests with the iwi of Ngāi Tahu. Climates in the Otago region (roughly 45°– leiopelmatid frogs survive elsewhere in 47°S) range from changeable, cool- New Zealand. Two species of introduced temperate conditions near the coast to frogs are present, but there are no the near-continental climates (baking hot crocodilians, salamanders, terrestrial summers, freezing winters) of the interior. snakes or turtles. Marine turtles (mainly The region provides varied habitats for leatherback turtles, Dermochelys coriacea) herp species, including sand-dunes, visit the coastal waters of Otago but do grasslands, shrublands, wetlands, forests, not nest here. rock structures and scree slopes, some occupied to at least 1900 m above sea level. Today’s herpetofauna is dominated by lizards (solely geckos and skinks), including about 10 described species. A further 12 or more undescribed taxa are recognised Otago by tag names for conservation purposes, and we follow that approach here. All lizards in Otago are viviparous and long- lived, and remain vulnerable to ongoing habitat loss and predation by introduced mammals. -

An assessment of the suitability of captive-bred founders for lizard restoration projects using Duvaucel’s geckos (Hoplodactylus duvaucelii). A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Conservation Biology Massey University, Albany, New Zealand. Vivienne Glenday 2016 Abstract Sourcing founders for species restoration projects can be problematic, especially when using rare or endangered animals. Harvesting from small natural populations could be detrimental to those populations. A possible solution is to use captive-bred founders as this would reduce harvesting pressure on natural source populations. In the summer of 2013, a combination of captive-bred and wild-sourced Duvaucel’s geckos (Hoplodactylus duvaucelii) were released on two islands in Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf. To assess the suitability of captive-bred founders for species restoration projects, short-term survival, condition, reproductive performance, dispersal and activity patterns, and habitat use were investigated using mark-recapture surveys and radio telemetry over a 12 month period following the release, and comparisons were made between captive-bred and wild- sourced geckos. Captive-bred geckos were encountered more often than wild geckos one year after the release, and had greater increases in body condition index. They also had better overall health, but more partial tail losses. Gravid females from both groups were encountered during the first post-release breeding season and at least 50% of juveniles were encountered alive during the first year. -

Campo Alegre s/n, 4169-007 Porto, Portugal 5Corresponding author Abstract We describe a new Brookesia species from a forest fragment located 13 km south of Ambalavao in the southern part of Madagascar's central high plateau. Brookesia brunoi sp. nov. is one of the few arid-adapted Brookesia species inhabiting deciduous forests on the western slope of the central high plateau of the island (around 950 m a.s.l.). So far the species has only been observed in the private Anja Reserve. The species belongs to the Brookesia decaryi group formed by arid-adapt- ed Brookesia species of western Madagascar: B. bonsi Ramanantsoa, B. perarmata (Angel), B. brygooi Raxworthy & Nussbaum and B. decaryi Angel. Brookesia brunoi differs from the other four species of the group by a genetic divergence of more than 17.6% in the mitochondrial ND2 gene, and by a combination of morphological characters: (1) nine pairs of laterovertebral pointed tubercles, (2) absence of enlarged pointed tubercles around the vent, (3) presence of poorly defined laterovertebral tubercles along the entire tail, (4) by the configuration of its cephalic crest, and (5) hemipenial morphology. -

We recorded 19 species of amphibians and 60 species of reptiles by opportunistic searching, bioacoustic identification (frogs), and pitfall trapping. Among the species recorded, 13% were previously unknown to science and a further 15% are of uncertain taxonomic status and possibly represent undescribed species. Of all the species recorded, 28% are endemic to the Bemaraha plateau and 48% appear to be dependent on forest habitat. Phylogenetic relationships of Bemaraha amphibians suggest a biogeographic link to eastern rainforests; whereas, those of reptiles demonstrate a link to the forests of northern Madagascar. -
