Although present in Darwin for some time, the C species has only recently become widespread in the Brisbane region. We investigated the density A and distribution of this and two native house-dwelling geckos in urban, suburban and bushland R environments within Brisbane. The spatially clumped insect resources associated with external light T sources were effectively utilised by both urban and suburban populations of Asian House Geckos, S suggesting likely competitive interactions between the species on structures where the species co-existed.

  • 1 Connor Pierson Dr. William Durham Darwin, Evolution, and Galapagos
    Connor Pierson Dr. William Durham Darwin, Evolution, and Galapagos 10/12/09 The Evolutionary Significance of the Pink Iguana Introduction: In 1986, Galapagos park rangers patrolling the remote summit of Volcán Wolf reported a sighting of a Galapagos land iguana with an unusual characteristic: bright pink scales. While many dismissed the anomaly as a skin condition, Dr. Gabriele Gentile from the Tor Vergata University of Rome and his team began searching for the elusive pink iguana in 2005. The next year the team (which included Howard and Heidi Snell) successfully captured, measured, and drew samples from 32 iguanas displaying the unique phenotype. The population was nicknamed, “Rosada,” the Spanish word for pink. The public was introduced to the iguana with the publication of a genetic analysis on January 13, 2009. The results published in this paper suggested that Rosada deserved recognition as a unique species due to its morphological, behavioral, and genetic differences from the two already recognized members of the genus Conolophus. On August 18, 2009 an official description of a new species, Conolophus marthae, was published in the taxonomical journal Zootaxa. While several research papers are pending, the information currently available challenges accepted theory regarding the evolution of the iguana in the Galapagos. The goals of this paper are to: (a.) introduce the reader to a distinctive new species of Galapagos Megafauna; (b.) analyze marthae’s significance in terms of current understanding of Galapagos Iguana evolution; (c.) suggest the probable route of colonization for the new species; and (d.) highlight the need for conservation and further research.1 1 Meet Rosada: Description: Conolophus marthae’s striking coloration, nuchal crest, and communicative signals distinguish the iguana from its genetic relatives, subcristatus, and pallidus.

ABSTRACT This paper presents a revised taxonomy for the living Acrochordidae. The species Acrochordus javanicus Hornstedt, 1787 divided by McDowell in 1979 into two species is further divided, with two new species from south-east Asia formally named for the first time. The taxon A. arafurae McDowell, 1979 is placed in a separate genus, named for the first time. A. granulatus Schneider, 1799 is placed in a separate genus, for which the name Chersydrus Schneider, 1801 is already available. Keywords: Taxonomy; Australasia; Asia; Acrochordus; Chersydrus; new genus; Funkiacrochordus; new tribes; Acrochordidini; Funkiacrochordidini; new subgenus: Vetusacrochordus; new species; malayensis; mahakamiensis.
