First record of tail bifurcations in the snake-eyed skink (Ablepharus kitaibelii Bibron & Bory de Saint-Vincent, 1833) from Pastrina hill (northwestern Bulgaria)
Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona, 2017Co-Authors: Natchev N.Abstract:Primer registre de bifurcació caudal en Ablepharus kitaibelii Bibron (Bory de Saint-Vincent, 1833) del puig Pastrina (nord-oest de Bulgària) Registrem el primer cas de bifurcacions caudals en A. kitaibelii. Aquesta anomalia morfològica va ser identificada en un estudi de seguiment de quatre anys portat a terme en una zona d’elevada presència herpetològica al puig Pastrina (nord-oest de Bulgària). D’un total de 415 espècimens capturats, quatre (0,96%) van presentar una duplicació lateral simètrica o asimètrica de la cua. Només es van registrar bifurcacions de la secció caudal més distal, la qual cosa contrasta amb les registrades en altres llangardaixos com ara Gekkonidae, Lacertidae i Teiidae, en què s’han registrat supervivències amb bifurcacions a les seccions caudals més proximals.Primer registro de bifurcación caudal en Ablepharus kitaibelii Bibron (Bory de Saint-Vincent, 1833) del monte Pastrina (noroeste de Bulgaria) Registramos el primer caso de bifurcaciones caudales en A. kitaibelii. Esta anomalía morfológica fue identificada en un estudio de seguimiento de cuatro años realizado en una zona de elevada presencia herpetológica en el monte Pastrina (noroeste de Bulgaria). De un total de 415 especímenes capturados, cuatro (0,96%) presentaron una duplicación lateral simétrica o asimétrica de la cola. Se registraron únicamente bifurcaciones de la sección caudal más distal, lo que contrasta con las registradas en otros lagartos como, por ejemplo, Gekkonidae, Lacertidae y Teiidae, en los que se han registrado supervivencias con bifurcaciones en las secciones caudales más proximales.We report for the first time on the occurrence of tail bifurcations in the snake-eyed skink (A. kitaibelii). This morphological anomaly was identified during a four-year monitoring program conducted in a herpetological hot-spot at Pastrina hill (northwestern Bulgaria). From a total of 415 captured specimens, four animals (0.96%) showed symmetrical or asymmetrical lateral duplication of the tail. Only bifurcations of the distal-most caudal section were detected in contrast to some other lizards (e.g. Gekkonidae, Lacertidae, Teiidae) that are reported to survive with bifurcations at more proximal tail sections

Un Gecko africain Hemidactylus mabouia (Squamata, Gekkonidae) dans la lutte contre les fausses teignes des ruches Galleria mellonella et Achroia grisella (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae)
PERSÉE : Université de Lyon CNRS & ENS de Lyon, 2009Co-Authors: Dridah Aziz, Louadi Kamel, Berchi SelimaAbstract:An African Gecko Hemidactylus mabouia (Squamata, Gekkonidae) to control the wax moths of hives Galleria mellonella and Achroia grisella (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae). To test the effect on the Honey Bees and the control efficiency on moths Galleria mellonella Linnaeus and Achroia grisella Fabricius (Insecta, Lepidoptera) called commonly greater and lesser wax moths of bee hives, the Squamate Hemidactylus mabouia (Moreau de Jonnès, 1818) (Squamata, Gekkonidae) has been introduced in hives populated of bees in presence separately of imagos of wax moths and honey bees in globes. It showed that Hemidactylus mabouia fitted easily to microclimatic conditions of hives and consumed 90.33 ± 1.93% of moths ; on the other hand it had no effect on bees’ populations. Introduction of gecko couples in hives infested by this Lepidoptera also showed that the rate of consumed wax moths adjoined the 90.28 ± 3.64%.Pour tester l’effet sur les Abeilles domestiques et l’efficacité sur la lutte contre les papillons nocturnes Galleria mellonella Linné et Achroia grisella Fabricius (Insecta, Lepidoptera) appelés communément grandes et petites fausses teignes des ruches, le Squamate Hemidactylus mabouia (Moreau de Jonnès, 1818) (Squamata, Gekkonidae) a été introduit dans des ruches peuplées d’Abeilles en présence séparément d’imagos de fausses teignes et des Abeilles domestiques dans des bocaux. Il s’est avéré que Hemidactylus mabouia s’adapte facilement aux conditions microclimatiques de la ruche et a consommé 90,33 ± 1,93% des papillons ; par contre il n’a aucun effet sur la population d’Abeilles. L’introduction de couples de gecko dans des ruches infestées par ces insectes lépidoptères donne également un taux moyen presque identique de fausses teignes consommées de 90,28 ± 3,64 %.Dridah Aziz, Louadi Kamel, Berchi Selima.

Commented distributional list of the Reptiles of Mauritania (West Africa)
Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2006Co-Authors: Padial J. M.Abstract:This is the first comprehensive review of the reptiles of Mauritania. It includes distributional information and comments. Mauritania harbors 86 species of reptiles belonging to 21 families. Among these families, Colubridae and Lacertidae are the most diverse, with 14 and 13 species respectively. Other families, such as Agamidae, Gekkonidae, Scincidae or Viperidae are also well represented. Among the 80 continental species, 47.5% are Saharan, 33.8% Afrotropical, 16.2% Sahelian and 2.5% Mediterranean. The marine turtles form another important group, with six species. Eight species are excluded from the country list because of old identification errors, there is not enough evidence of their presence or due to changes in political borders. Among the species expected to occur in Mauritania, at least nine may occur in Saharan environments, 13 in the Sahel savannah and two may have been introduced.<br><br>Esta es la primera lista de reptiles comentada con datos de distribución para la República Islámica de Mauritania.
