La lucertola campestre Podarcis siculus (Rafinesque-Schmaltz, 1810) abita la penisola italiana con differenti subcladi endemiche (Senczuk et al., 2017) alcune delle quali hanno colonizzato l'area limitrofa al Lago di Garda (Fig.2) favorite dalla traslocazione di merci, similmente a quanto accaduto in altri paesi (es. Rivera et al., 2011; Silva-Roch...

This work documents the presence of Ichthyosaura alpestris in two vertically developed karst cavities of the Lessini Veronesi Mountains (Verona, Italy). The two populations were subjected to a one-year monitoring, which led to a total of 108 measurement events, of which 18 in adults and 90 in juveniles. The biometric data collected, the distribut...

The Italian wall lizard Podarcis siculus (Rafinesque-Schmaltz, 1810) inhabits the Lake Garda region (Northern Italy) with exotic and autochthonous populations. The distributional range of this species and its impact on native lizard populations is unclear, so a first preliminary analysis is presented in this paper. We monitored 5 populations from t...

This contribution intends to give an initial analysis of the naturalistic components of the Giarol Grande area (Verona), a large green area close to the urban fabric of Verona, highlighting its peculiarities, both in terms of species and environments. The habitats present are then examined and for each of them the forest typology and the floristic...

Alien species constitute a serious threat to biodiversity, also contributing to reduce the ecological resilience of ecosystems to global climate changes. The Italian wall lizard Podarcis siculus Rafinesque-Schmaltz, 1810 (Sauria: Lacertidae) represents at this regard a case point since it has established exotic populations on three different contin...
