UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Diversity Copeoglossum aurae (Greater Windward Skink) Family: Scincidae (Skinks) Order: Squamata (Lizards and Snakes) Class: Reptilia (Reptiles) Fig. 1. Greater windward skink, Copeoglossum aurae. [http://www.trinidad-tobagoherps.org/Mabuyanigropunctata.htm, downloaded 16 October 2016] TRAITS. Copeoglossum aurae is a newly discovered skink in Trinidad and Tobago (Hedges and Conn, 2012). It has a dark lateral solid stripe that extends from under its oval shaped ear past its hind legs onto the tail (Fig. 1). C. aurae male and female specimens can reach a maximum of 98.5mm and 109mm snout-vent length, respectively, and tails can reach up to 65mm. They are heavily scaled lizards with scales being smaller on the limbs in comparison to other body parts. Their tails, like some other reptiles, can be broken off and regenerated. The dorsal colour of most specimens are greyish-green with small to medium deep brown spots evenly spread on the body, limbs and tail. The dorsal colours are different shades of brown, grey and green, and green-white lateral stripes are found from the ear to the hind limbs (Hedges and Conn, 2012). DISTRIBUTION. Copeoglossum aurae species is distributed in some islands of the Caribbean including southern Windward Islands like St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago, and it was postulated that some may have migrated to parts of South America (Venezuela) (Murphy et al., 2013). HABITAT AND ECOLOGY. C. aurae exhibit both arboreal and non-arboreal characteristics, since they are found either on trees or on the ground (Murphy et al., 2013).

Herpetological Journal FULL PAPER
Volume 27 (April 2017), 201–216 Herpetological Journal FULL PAPER Published by the British Predation of Jamaican rock iguana Cyclura( collei) nests Herpetological Society by the invasive small Asian mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus) and the conservation value of predator control Rick van Veen & Byron S. Wilson Department of Life Sciences, University of the West Indies, Mona 7, Kingston, Jamaica The introduced small Asian mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus) has been widely implicated in extirpations and extinctions of island taxa. Recent studies and anecdotal observations suggest that the nests of terrestrial island species are particularly vulnerable to mongoose predation, yet quantitative data have remained scarce, even for species long assumed to be at risk from the mongoose. We monitored nests of the Critically Endangered Jamaican Rock Iguana (Cyclura collei) to determine nest fate, and augmented these observations with motion-activated camera trap images to document the predatory behaviour of the mongoose. Our data provide direct, quantitative evidence of high nest predation pressure attributable to the mongoose, and together with reported high rates of predation on hatchling and juvenile iguanas (also by the mongoose), support the original conclusion that the mongoose was responsible for the apparent lack of recruitment and the aging structure of the small population that was ‘re-discovered’ in 1990. Encouragingly however, our data also demonstrate a significant reduction in nest predation pressure within an experimental mongoose-removal area. Thus, our results indicate that otherwise catastrophic levels of nest loss (at or near 100%) can be ameliorated or even eliminated by removal trapping of the mongoose. We suggest that such targeted control efforts could also prove useful in safeguarding other threatened insular species with reproductive strategies that are notably vulnerable to mongoose predation (e.g., the incubation of eggs on or underground).

Arrival and Diversification of Mabuyine Skinks (Squamata: Scincidae) in the Neotropics Based on a Fossil-Calibrated Timetree
Arrival and diversification of mabuyine skinks (Squamata: Scincidae) in the Neotropics based on a fossil-calibrated timetree Anieli Guirro Pereira and Carlos G. Schrago Department of Genetics, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil ABSTRACT Background. The evolution of South American Mabuyinae skinks holds significant biogeographic interest because its sister lineage is distributed across the African continent and adjacent islands. Moreover, at least one insular species, Trachylepis atlantica, has independently reached the New World through transoceanic dispersal. To clarify the evolutionary history of both Neotropical lineages, this study aimed to infer an updated timescale using the largest species and gene sampling dataset ever assembled for this group. By extending the analysis to the Scincidae family, we could employ fossil information to estimate mabuyinae divergence times and carried out a formal statistical biogeography analysis. To unveil macroevolutionary patterns, we also inferred diversification rates for this lineage and evaluated whether the colonization of South American continent significantly altered the mode of Mabuyinae evolution. Methods. A time-calibrated phylogeny was inferred under the Bayesian framework employing fossil information. This timetree was used to (i) evaluate the historical biogeography of mabuiyines using the statistical approach implemented in Bio- GeoBEARS; (ii) estimate macroevolutionary diversification rates of the South American Mabuyinae lineages and the patterns of evolution of selected traits, namely, the mode of reproduction, body mass and snout–vent length; (iii) test the hypothesis of differential macroevolutionary patterns in South American lineages in BAMM and GeoSSE; and Submitted 21 November 2016 (iv) re-evaluate the ancestral state of the mode of reproduction of mabuyines.

Herpestes Auropunctatus (Hodgson 1836)
Herpestes auropunctatus (Hodgson 1836) Native to the southern and southeastern regions of Asia, the small Indian mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus), has been introduced to many islands worldwide for the biological control of rats and snakes, mainly in tropical areas, but also to islands in the Adriatic Sea. It has been introduced successfully in two continental areas: the northeast coast of South America and a Croatian peninsula. Presence Percent Mongooses are diurnal generalist carnivores that thrive in human-altered habitats. Predation by mongoose has had severe impacts on native biodiversity leading to the decline and extirpation of native Graph showing the effect of the mongoose - a predatory mammal introduced by mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.

Brown Date Approved: April 16, 2014 ii Abstract A comprehensive understanding of the evolutionary processes responsible for generating biodiversity is best obtained using integrative approaches at multiple scales. In doing so, these investigations can provide complex insights into how fine-scale microevolutionary processes operating at the population level, translate into the large-scale macroevolutionary biodiversity patterns we see in evolutionary radiations. Due to the complex geography, historical climatic fluctuations, and remarkably high concentrations of land vertebrate biodiversity, Southeast Asia is an ideal place to investigate these processes. Lizards of the genus Eutropis represent one of the more recognizable radiations of lizards in Southeast Asia, due to their high abundances, broad geographic distribution, and generalized external morphology. However, their evolutionary history has remained enigmatic due to their highly conserved morphology and a lack of dense population sampling of individuals and species across their range.

Herpetology Notes, volume 13: 905-906 (2020) (published online on 16 November 2020) First record of Aspronema dorsivittatum (Cope, 1862) in Pozo Colorado, Paraguay (Squamata: Scincidae) Nicolas Martínez1,2,*, Frederick Bauer1,2,3, Viviana Espinola1, and Thomas Goossen2 Aspronema dorsivittatum (Cope, 1862) is a small “Ruta Transchaco”), carried out between October 2017 lizard, up to 84 mm snout-vent length according to and December 2019. These two events were recorded at Vrcibradic and Rocha (2011), easily recognisable by the Wet Chaco ecoregion, in areas with a predominance having a dark middorsal stripe with two lateral white of palm groves, grasslands, wetlands and forests. stripes at each side of the body. The species is distributed in southern South America, throughout Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Brazil (Peters and Donoso-Barros, 1970; Cei, 1993; Carreira et al., 2005; Cabrera, 2009; Hedges and Conn, 2012). In Paraguay it can be found in the Wet Chaco, Cerrado, Atlantic Forest, and Mesopotamian Grasslands ecoregions (Cacciali et al., 2016). Asproema dorsivittatum inhabits exclusively grass fields and has diurnal habits, it is viviparous and its diet is based on arthropods (Carreira and Maneyro, 2013). Two specimens of Aspronema dorsivittatum (Fig. 1), were collected at the locality of Pozo Colorado, department of Presidente Hayes on the 14th of May 2018 (23.6203º S, 58.7180º W; datum WGS 84; 141 Figure 1.
