  • 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.

  • Merging Science and Management in a Rapidly
    Herpetofauna at the Appleton-Whittell Research Ranch Roger C. Cogan Appleton-Whittell Research Ranch of the National Audubon Society, Elgin, Arizona Abstract—A rich diversity of amphibian and reptile species occurs at the Appleton-Whittell Research Ranch, an 8000-acre sanctuary for native biota and research facility in the semi-arid grasslands of southeastern Arizona, created in 1969 and managed by the National Audubon Society since 1980. Nine species of am- phibians and 42 species of reptiles have been identified by staff and researchers within the preserve. Efforts are underway to document the current richness of the herpetofauna. Recent surveys in 2010–2012 have confirmed continued presence of 26 species. As part of that inventory effort, we located seven overwintering sites of rattlesnakes. Our challenge into the future is to adaptively manage the Research Ranch to provide sanctuary to the appropriate plant and animal species under a likely changing climate. Introduction Conclusions Since cattle were removed in the 1960s collecting efforts over several During the history of the Research Ranch there have been several decades by numerous researchers have identified 9 amphibian and surveys for herps and individual species have been investigated (i.e. 42 reptile species representing 29 genera within the preserve. There Dodero and Spengler, unpublished checklist; Smith and Chiszar have been ongoing investigations with several individual species. 2002). This is the first attempt to monitor and document presence However, the herpetofauna as a whole has not been assessed. Efforts or absence of all herp species previously identified at the sanctuary. are currently ongoing to locate and document the continued existence Since 2010 surveys have confirmed that 26 species are still present at or absence of all herp species that occur within the Research Ranch the Research Ranch (table 1).

The University of Nottingham’s Biogeography, Ecology and Evolution Research group 34 supplied valuable feedback on an earlier draft. 35 36 2 37 ABSTRACT 38 The magnitude and direction of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) varies greatly across the animal 39 kingdom, reflecting differential selection pressures on the reproductive and/or ecological roles of 40 males and females. If the selection pressures and constraints imposed on body size change along 41 environmental gradients, then SSD will vary geographically in a predictable way. Here, we uncover a 42 biogeographical reversal in SSD of lizards from Central and North America: in warm, low latitude 43 environments, males are larger than females, but at colder, high latitudes, females are larger than 44 males.

Abstract We report the Skink Plestiodon callicephalus at the “Marismas Nacionales” Biosphere Reserve, Nayarit, for the second time in 37 years. This is the seventh record for the Nayarit Coastal Plain, and the fourth for the Santiago Ixcuintla municipality. It represents a range extension of about 35 km towards the coast. Keywords: Marismas Nacionales, Protected Natural Area, Reptiles, Skinks. 1Biodiversa, Comité Nacional para la Conservación de Ecosistemas Mexicanos A.C.

  • The High-Level Classification of Skinks (Reptilia, Squamata, Scincomorpha)

BLAIR HEDGES Department of Biology, Pennsylvania State University, 208 Mueller Lab, University Park, PA 16802, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Skinks are usually grouped in a single family, Scincidae (1,579 species) representing one-quarter of all lizard species. Oth- er large lizard families, such as Gekkonidae (s.l.) and Iguanidae (s.l.), have been partitioned into multiple families in recent years, based mainly on evidence from molecular phylogenies. Subfamilies and informal suprageneric groups have been used for skinks, defined by morphological traits and supported increasingly by molecular phylogenies. Recently, a seven- family classification for skinks was proposed to replace that largely informal classification, create more manageable taxa, and faciliate systematic research on skinks. Those families are Acontidae (26 sp.), Egerniidae (58 sp.), Eugongylidae (418 sp.), Lygosomidae (52 sp.), Mabuyidae (190 sp.), Sphenomorphidae (546 sp.), and Scincidae (273 sp.). Representatives of 125 (84%) of the 154 genera of skinks are available in the public sequence databases and have been placed in molecular phylogenies that support the recognition of these families. However, two other molecular clades with species that have long been considered distinctive morphologically belong to two new families described here, Ristellidae fam. nov. (14 sp.) and Ateuchosauridae fam. nov.
