This study is part of the ecological restoration of degraded ecosystems of the Great Green Wall (GWW) reforestation project in the Sahelian Ferlo area (North Senegal). It mainly aimed at obtaining information on the diversity of reptiles around the locality of Koyli-Alpha. After interrogating the local population, we conduct prospections using the...

The Musée zoologique de Strasbourg (MZS) holds the late 18th century collection of Jean Hermann. Among the herpetological specimens we discovered a specimen that Hermann had described as Boa latotecta in a posthumous publication edited by his son-in-law Frédéric-Louis Hammer. Morphomet- rics and an examination of pholidosis facilitated comparisons...

Animals and their derivatives have been used for a wide range of purposes, including human consumption, clothing, tools, medicinal and magical-religious purposes, for most of human history, and as pets more recently. We reviewed the scientific literature and, using 134 references, provided an overview of how 400 species of skinks (23% of skink dive...

The Tongan giant skink Tachygyia microlepis is generally considered as extinct. It is known only by its two holotypes hosted at Paris Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle and collected about two centuries ago. In the present paper we show that this species could still exist and its biology can explain that it was not recently observed. We also high...

Context
Skinks comprise the dominant component of the terrestrial vertebrate fauna in Oceania, New Guinea, and Eastern Wallacea (ONGEW). However, knowledge of their diversity is incomplete, and their conservation needs are poorly understood.
Aims
To explore the diversity and threat status of the skinks of ONGEW and identify knowledge gaps and cons...

Lankascincus dorsicatenatus is an endemic species of litter-skink distributed throughout the wet zone of Sri Lanka (elevations from 15 to 800 m a.s.l.). The recent resurrection of Lygosoma megalops by the recent description of its neotype designated by Batuwita (2019), presently lost, destabilized the taxonomic status of Lankascincus dorsicatenatus...

This is the story of a winner and a loser. We predicted current and future invasion risks of Phelsuma grandis and P. laticauda at the global scale. The results presented are drawn from the article titled "Choice of climate data influences current and future global invasion

We here report the observation of a complete sequence of cannibalism by an adult male on a juvenile of the lacertid Podarcis muralis in the field in Haute-Savoie, a French department. That observation was not based on stomach contents as is often the case but was a visual observation which took place during most of the process from active prey capt...

A new taxonomic checklist is established for the Amphibians and “Reptiles” of Tunisia. Inaddition to international zoological scientific names, a French scientific name is attributed to each taxon.
The Tunisian herpetofauna presently contains seven species of Amphibians and 62 of “Reptiles”.

Abstract. The South American Rattlesnake, Crotalus durissus durissus, is a typical savannah habitat snake that only rarely
occurs in forested areas. Its populations are generally fragmented and widely separated, which has been recognised for a

Cryptic ecologies, the Wallacean Shortfall of undocumented species' geographical ranges and the Linnaean Shortfall of undescribed diversity, are all major barriers to conservation assessment. When these factors overlap with drivers of extinction risk, such as insular distributions, the number of threatened species in a region or clade may be undere...

Annandale (1906) described Lygosoma megalops, now in the genus Lankascincus, based on two syntypes collected from Kitulgala and Puttalam in Sri Lanka. These syntypes have not been recognized since the original description. In 2019, Batuwita designated a neotype, WHT 6545, for Ly. megalops from Kitulgala. The number WHT '6545' does not exist in the...
Bronchocela jubata Duméril and Bibron, 1837 is one of the commonest species of the genus, known mostly from Java Island and southern parts of Sumatra. It is rare in Bali and Borneo.

Harpesaurus tricinctus is an Asian agamid lizard described in 1851 from Java, Indonesia, and since then known only from its holotype located at the Paris Natural History Museum (MNHN-RA), supposedly a male, characterized by a long sickle-shaped rostral appendage. Ecological data are virtually lacking since no other specimen have ever been found. He...

Natural history museum collections hold extremely rare, extinct species often described from a single known specimen. On occasions, rediscoveries open new opportunities to understand selective forces acting on phenotypic traits.

We review the taxonomic status of Oligodon arnensis (Shaw 1802) after examining all the name-bearing types of its synonyms, and

We re-evaluate the taxonomic identities of five-lined skinks of the genus Eutropis (E. trivittata, E. beddomei, E. nagarjunensis, and E. bibronii) inhabiting the Indian subcontinent. Previously it has been considered that E. trivittata is distributed in the western India and E. dissimilis in the northern India (from north-eastern India up to Pakist...
The purpose of the present application, under Articles 74.1.1 and 81.1 of the Code, is to maintain consistent usage of the commonly used name Emoia nigra (Hombron & Jacquinot, 1853) by setting aside a lectotype designation for Gongylus (Eumeces) freycineti Duméril & Bibron, 1839 by Wells & Wellington in 1985 in favour of a later lectotype designati...

Large-scale extinction is one of the defining challenges of our time, as human processes fundamentally and irreversibly reshape global ecosystems.

Our knowledge of the conservation status of reptiles, the most diverse class of terrestrial vertebrates, has improved dramatically over the past decade, but still lags behind that of the other tetrapod groups.
