This Habitat Kit for Reptiles and Amphibians Is a Direct Result of the Years of Research in the Madagascar Bamboo Forests NEW This habitat kit for reptiles and amphibians is a direct result of the years of research in the Madagascar bamboo forests. Over the past few years, the Exo Terra® research team, led by Emmanuel Van Heygen, has thoroughly documented the species that occur in this micro habitat and its micro climatological properties. Bamboo forests provide an ecological niche for many reptile and amphibian species which protect them from severe climate conditions like cyclones and from predators like birds and snakes. The density of these forests ensures a micro climate that is preferred by many species because of its constant humidity. Even in the dry season, the bamboo leaves generates dew droplets resulting in a continuous supply of water. The team also noticed that many of the reptiles, especially day geckos, “milk” insects for food. These special insects release a certain amount of sugary nutritious secretion extracted from the bamboo leaves and poles. Exo-Terra®’s Day Gecko Food can be placed in a special cavity in one of the Bamboo poles in the included bamboo ornament to mimic this. The smooth surface of both the bamboo background and ornament provide the perfect vertical dwelling surface for a number of species, especially geckos and frogs, just like in nature. The special bamboo ornament in this kit ensures that the reptiles and amphibians housed in this kit have secure hiding places, a food station and always water available in the numerous cavities incorporated in this very specific ornament. The ingenious Exo Terra® Natural Terrarium with the researched bamboo ornament and background will provide the ideal micro habitat for the relevant reptiles and amphibians. This kit will allow you the successful keeping of many species. They will not only thrive, but give you the best outcome in propagating these remarkable reptiles and amphibians.

  • Reptiles & Amphibians of Kirindy
    REPTILES & AMPHIBIANS OF KIRINDY KIRINDY FOREST is a dry deciduous forest covering about 12,000 ha and is managed by the Centre National de Formation, dʹEtudes et de Recherche en Environnement et Foresterie (CNFEREF). Dry deciduous forests are among the world’s most threatened ecosystems, and in Madagascar they have been reduced to 3 per cent of their original extent. Located in Central Menabe, Kirindy forms part of a conservation priority area and contains several locally endemic animal and plant species. Kirindy supports seven species of lemur and Madagascarʹs largest predator, the fossa. Kirindy’s plants are equally notable and include two species of baobab, as well as the Malagasy endemic hazomalany tree (Hazomalania voyroni). Ninety‐nine per cent of Madagascar’s known amphibians and 95% of Madagascar’s reptiles are endemic. Kirindy Forest has around 50 species of reptiles, including 7 species of chameleons and 11 species of snakes. This guide describes the common amphibians and reptiles that you are likely to see during your stay in Kirindy forest and gives some field notes to help towards their identification. The guide is specifically for use on TBA’s educational courses and not for commercial purposes. This guide would not have been possible without the photos and expertise of Marius Burger. Please note this guide is a work in progress. Further contributions of new photos, ids and descriptions to this guide are appreciated. This document was developed during Tropical Biology Association field courses in Kirindy. It was written by Rosie Trevelyan and designed by Brigid Barry, Bonnie Metherell and Monica Frisch.

China 3Department of Biology, Villanova University, 800 Lancaster Avenue, Villanova, Pennsylvania 19085, USA 4Evolution, Ecology, and Genetics, Research School of Biology, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT, Australia 5Corresponding author Abstract We describe a new gecko of the genus Blaesodactylus from a karstic outcrop in deciduous dry forest of Ankarana National Park, northern Madagascar. Blaesodactylus microtuberculatus sp. nov., the fifth recognized species of Blaesodactylus, is distinguished from all other congeners, B. ambonihazo, B. antongilensis, B. boivini and B. sakalava by a combination of small, homogeneous gular granules, unspotted venter and lack of tubercles on distal part of original tail. Mitochondrial (ND2 and ND4) and nuclear (RAG-1) DNA identify a consistent divergence between B. microtuberculatus and its allotopic sister species B. boivini. We highlight habitat partitioning in these allotopic congeners where Blaesodactylus microtuberculatus inhabits karstic outcrops in Tsingy massif, and B. boivini dwells on tree trunks in deciduous dry forest.

  • A Fish-Scaled Gecko (Geckolepis Sp.) Escapes Predation by a Velvet Gecko (Blaesodactylus Sp.) Through Skin Shedding
    Herpetology Notes, volume 8: 479-481 (2015) (published online on 03 October 2015) A fish-scaled gecko (Geckolepis sp.) escapes predation by a velvet gecko (Blaesodactylus sp.) through skin shedding Charlie Gardner1,*, Louise Jasper2 Many reptiles have evolved the ability to shed part night walk as tourists within the Bekaraoka forest block of their body in response to predator attack. The most of Loky-Manambato new protected area (13°08’38’’ widespread form is caudal autotomy, the shedding of S, 49°42’25’’ E), near the town of Daraina in extreme all or part of the tail, which occurs in many lizards and north-east Madagascar.

  • Scale Gecko (Squamata: Gekkonidae: Geckolepis) with Exceptionally Large Scales
    Off the scale: a new species of fish- scale gecko (Squamata: Gekkonidae: Geckolepis) with exceptionally large scales Mark D. Scherz1, Juan D. Daza2, Jörn Köhler3, Miguel Vences4 and Frank Glaw1 1 Sektion Herpetologie, Zoologische Staatssammlung München (ZSM-SNSB), Munich, Germany 2 Department of Biological Sciences, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, TX, United States 3 Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany 4 Zoologisches Institut, Technische Universität Braunschweig, Braunschweig, Germany ABSTRACT The gecko genus Geckolepis, endemic to Madagascar and the Comoro archipelago, is taxonomically challenging. One reason is its members ability to autotomize a large portion of their scales when grasped or touched, most likely to escape predation. Based on an integrative taxonomic approach including external morphology, morphometrics, genetics, pholidosis, and osteology, we here describe the first new species from this genus in 75 years: Geckolepis megalepis sp. nov. from the limestone karst of Ankarana in northern Madagascar. The new species has the largest known body scales of any gecko (both relatively and absolutely), which come off with exceptional ease. We provide a detailed description of the skeleton of the genus Geckolepis based on micro-Computed Tomography (micro-CT) analysis of the new species, the holotype of G. maculata, the recently resurrected G. humbloti, and a specimen belonging to an operational taxonomic unit (OTU) recently suggested to represent G. maculata. Geckolepis is characterized by highly mineralized, imbricated scales, paired frontals, and unfused subolfactory processes of the frontals, among other features. We identify diagnostic Submitted 26 October 2016 characters in the osteology of these geckos that help define our new species and show Accepted 3 January 2017 that the OTU assigned to G.

  • Systematics and Biogeography of the Widespread Neotropical Gekkonid Genus Thecadactylus (Squamata), with the Description of a New Cryptic Species

RUSSELL Vertebrate Morphology Research Group, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Calgary, 2500 University Dr N.W., Calgary, Alberta T2N 1N4, Canada Received April 2005; accepted for publication February 2006 The systematics of the widespread neotropical gekkonid genus Thecadactylus is investigated using a combination of morphological, morphometric and mtDNA (cytochrome b) sequence data, forming a total evidence dataset. The anal- ysis tackles the common yet complex problem of a widespread taxon consisting of one or more cryptic species that are difficult to diagnose using morphology alone. The data are analysed using both maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference. Virtually all analyses resolve a well-supported south-western Amazonian clade distinct from the remain- der of the recognized T. rapicauda. The south-western Amazonian clade is not only robustly supported, but also exclusive, geographically coherent and sufficiently distinct to warrant specific recognition. The new species is diagnosable on the basis of molecular sequences that are 23.0–26.9% divergent from those of T. rapicauda, and morphological evidence. Bayesian inference analysis robustly resolves meaningful and repeatable patterns of rela- tionship. The biogeography of Thecadactylus is interpreted in the context of its two constituent species, and difficulties of resolving systematic and biogeographical patterns in widespread, cosmopolitan taxa are discussed.

The pet trade in recent years became the most important pathway for the introduction of non-indigenous species of reptiles worldwide. Therefore, we decided to determine the most common species of lizards, snakes, and crocodiles traded as pets on the basis of market surveys in the Czech Republic, which is an export hub for ornamental animals in the European Union (EU). Subsequently, the establishment and invasion potential for the entire EU was determined for 308 species using proven risk assessment models (RAM, AS-ISK). Species with high establishment potential (determined by RAM) and at the same time with high potential to significantly harm native ecosystems (determined by AS-ISK) included the snakes Thamnophis sirtalis (Colubridae), Morelia spilota (Pythonidae) and also the lizards Tiliqua scincoides (Scincidae) and Intellagama lesueurii (Agamidae).

  • The Influence of Habitat Type and Structure on the Abundance of Phelsuma Madagascariensis Grandis (Gekkoninae) in Northern Madagascar
    Herpetological Conservation and Biology 4(1):55-61 Submitted: 19 August 2008; Accepted: 24 January 2009.

We observed 91 P. m. grandis during our study. Capture rates in village orchards were higher than in clear cut and forest areas. Structural habitat parameters on transects differed significantly between habitats. The orchards and the clear cut areas showed lower structural diversity than forests. Multiple regression analyses showed that the habitat parameters that we measured significantly influence the abundance of P. m. grandis. The best regression model explained 57% of the variation in the abundance of P. m. grandis. We conclude that high structural diversity is not important for this species. Our results suggest that abundance is positively influenced by higher numbers of trees (perch sites and associated cover) and increases in food resources within orchard habitats.

However, the spiny forest is under severe human pressure with a high rate of habitat loss. To understand how reptiles are affected by degradation, we surveyed sites with different levels of habitat degradation in the recently established Ifotaka North Protected Area in the Mandrare Valley. We used species richness, abundance, and microhabitat use of reptiles to examine which species and/or groups of species are most prone to disappear with progressive anthropogenic disturbance. Microhabitat requirements can differ even within closely related species and general patterns for different taxonomic groups (families) were not present. However, combining species with similar microhabitat-use (fossorial, terrestrial, and arboreal), we found patterns in response to degradation. Fossorial species disappeared first, followed by arboreal species. The least sensitive group was the terrestrial lizards, which contains many synanthropic generalists. Anthropogenic effects were generally negative but not in a continuous way. Diversity loss was present even after slight habitat modification as long as some factors (e.g., trees, leaf litter) were unchanged.

Which of these categories a species falls into may be determined by a variety of factors, including temperature, and biogeographic location. In this study I analyzed diel activity patterns at 13 sites distributed around the world, encompassing a total of 901 species of reptile and amphibians. I compared these activity patterns to the absolute latitudes of each site and modeled diel behavior as a function of distance from the equator. I found that latitude does correlate with the presence of nocturnal snake and lizard species. However, I did not find significant results correlating latitude to any other reptile or amphibian lineage. INTRODUCTION Cycles of light and darkness are important for the activity and behaviors of many organisms, both eukaryotic and prokaryotic (Johnson et al.
