Summary
The common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) is a widely distributed lizard living in large parts of Europe and is
known to have introduced populations in many places outside its natural origin including North America. In
Poland a population was found in Lower Silesia approximately a decade ago. Deeper investigations followed the
detection of further populations in the close-by areas.
A brief description about the historical knowledge of the wall lizard in Poland is given, followed by the current
situation in the adjoined Czech Republic and Germany, from where wall lizards are known. These lizards can be
distinguished by unique haplotypes but corresponding to the Polish populations. So, the origin most probably is
allochthonous. A brief status about the status quo of these most northeastern areal is given.

Wall lizards have been expand their areal more and more in Central Europe for more than 40 years, and have successfully established many populations north of the known area boundary. The expansion has assumed rapid development in large parts, especially in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. There are also quite a few documented releases of lizards, but in many cases it is much more likely that the lizards being carried away by ship, train and truck. Pallet cages and euro-pallets, actually used for the transport and storage of natural stones, populated quickly by lizards. In particular they are the transport vehicles for the wall lizards. When they arrive in locations that are favourable to them, the population increase rapidly and the lizards use railway lines, structures along the shipping canals, walls, industrial plants and fallow land, mining heaps, quarries and other anthropogenic structures to expand further. This expansion has not been dependent on active human exposure for at least twenty years. The animals spread by themselves. In this respect, the expansion throughout Central Europe, apart from climate change, has to a large extent long been a quasi-natural process that is only accelerated anthropogenic by passive displacements. Zusammenfassung: Mauereidechsen breiten sich seit mehr als 40 Jahren immer mehr in Mitteleuropa aus, dabei haben sie viele Vorkommen nördlich der bekannten Arealgrenze mit Erfolg begründet. Die Ausbreitung hat in weiten Teilen Norddeutschlands, vor allem des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen, eine rasante Entwicklung angenommen. Zwar gibt es auch dokumentierte Aussetzungen, aber in vielen Fällen ist eine Verschleppung der Echsen per Schiff, Bahn und LKW sehr viel wahrscheinlicher. Insbesondere Gitterbox-Container und Paletten mit Natursteinen sind zur passiven Verschleppung und zum Transport der Mauereidechsen anzunehmen, da sie nachweislich schnell besiedelt werden und bei deren Verladung die Eidechsen auf Schiffe und Fahrzeuge gelangen. In für sie günstigen Lokalitäten angekommen, vermehren sie sich rasch und nutzen Bahnlinien, Strukturen entlang der Schifffahrtskanäle, Mauern, Industrieanlagen und -brachen, Halden, Steinbrüche und andere anthropogene Strukturen, um sich weiter auszubreiten. Diese Ausbreitung ist seit mindestens zwanzig Jahren nicht mehr von aktiven Aussetzungen durch Menschen abhängig. Die Tiere verbreiten sich von sich aus. Insofern ist die Ausbreitung in ganz Mitteleuropa, vom Klimawandel einmal abgesehen, zu einem guten Teil längst ein quasi natürlicher Prozess der durch passive Verschleppungen nur noch anthropogen beschleunigt wird.

The possible origin of the common wall lizard, Podarcis muralis (Laurenti, 1768) in Ukraine
Article
Full-text available
  • May 2020
The phylogenetic relationships and possible origin of a putative non-native population of Podarcis muralis in Ukraine were assessed based on sequences of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome b . Phylogenetic analysis showed that the Ukrainian lizards belong to two distinct mitochondrial lineages (haplogroups), both occurring within the Central Balkan clade, which includes most of central and south-eastern European populations. From overall three detected Ukrainian haplotypes, one haplotype share same genetic signal with the hyplotype from the locality Bjala (Bulgaria), the other two are unique for Ukrainian population. Two of haplotypes correspond with haplogroup covering large geographic region of Bulgaria, Serbia, and Romania. These results reinforce previous findings that the species has the ability to establish new populations out of its native range. While most introductions to Germany and Britain have been deliberate, it appears likely that human transport of goods via the Danube river of goods is responsible for the range expansion into Ukraine.

Recently documented occurrence of the Common Wall Lizard (Podarcis muralis) in the Czech part of Silesia
Article
Full-text available
  • Dec 2019
A reproducing population of the common wall lizard ( Podarcis muralis ) is reported from the Czech Silesia (Czech Republic) for the first time. The lizards live in the ruins of the castle Šelenburk which is located on the Cvilín Hill near the town Krnov. This finding extends the known range of P. muralis from the nearest known Moravian locality cca 60 km to the North-West.

Tracing the maternal origin of the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis) on the northern range margin in Central Europe
Article
Full-text available
The maternal origin of isolated populations of the common wall lizard (Podracis muralis) in the Czech Republic, representing the northeastern range border of the species, was addressed. We compared mitochondrial DNA sequences of the cytochrome b gene of samples from these populations with those from within the continuous range in Slovakia, the northern Balkan region, and those available from previous studies. We recorded five main haplogroups in the studied region, with all available Central European samples belonging to the same haplogroup. The star-like structure of this haplogroup suggests a scenario of relatively recent, post-glacial population expansion, which is further supported by a coalescent-based demographic analysis. The presence of unique haplotypes in two of the three isolated Czech populations together with close phylogenetic relationships to adjacent Slovak populations suggests either autochthonous origin or human-mediated introductions from geographically and genetically closest populations. We therefore support conservation programs for all three isolated Czech populations.

Przegląd "nowych" gatunków płazów i gadów występujących w Polsce / A review of "new" species of amphibians and reptiles occurring in Poland
Article
Full-text available
  • Apr 2019
Several species of amphibians and reptiles new to Poland were described recently. However, data on their origin, distribution and taxonomic status are often limited and ambiguous. Here, we summarize the current state of knowledge on these species and propose some changes to the national list of protected species. The eastern tree frog and eastern slow worm are native to Poland and should be under strict and partial protection, respectively. We recommend inclusion of these species in the regional lists of protected species until the national list is updated. The status of four other taxa (Balkan frog, toad Bufotes variabilis, common wall lizard and dice snake) is uncertain and needs further study. Until the status of the dice snake is established, it should be removed from the list of protected species.

Phylogeographic evidence for multiple long-distance introductions of the common wall lizard associated with human trade and transport
Article
Full-text available
  • Jan 2019
The common wall lizard has been widely introduced across Europe and overseas. We investigated the origin of putatively introduced Podarcis muralis populations from two southern Europe localities: (i) Ljubljana (Slovenia), where uncommon phenotypes were observed near the railway tracks and (ii) the port of Vigo (Spain), where the species was recently found 150 km far from its previously known range. We compared cytochrome-b mtDNA sequences of lizards from these populations with published sequences across the native range. Our results support the allochthonous status and multiple, long-distance origins in both populations. In Ljubljana, results support two different origins, Serbia and Italy. In Vigo, at least two separate origins are inferred, from western and eastern France. Such results confirm that human-mediated transport is promoting biological invasion and lineage admixture in this species. Solid knowledge of the origin and invasion pathways, as well as population monitoring, is crucial for management strategies to be successful.

Herpetofauna of the opencast mines in Lower Silesia (Poland)
Article
  • Jan 2015
Herpetofauna of opencast mines is poorly known and no comprehensive research has been previously carried out in this field. On the example of Lower Silesia this study aims to investigate this fauna. Observations, conducted in 22 different opencast mines in the eastern, lowland part of Lower Silesia (SW Poland), resulted in identification of a total of 19 species (14 amphibian species and 5 reptile species). No differences in the species composition, taking into account the exploited minerals, were found but the herpetofauna differ slightly after dividing the opencast mines into sandpits and quarries. Some species were recorded exclusively either in sandpits or in quarries. We also found statistically significant differences in the composition of herpetofauna and separately amphibian species as taking into account the status of exploitation of opencast mines. One species occurred primarily in exploited mines and four only in abandoned ones. No statistical differences between the number of species in exploited, recently abandoned and long since abandoned opencast mines.

Low Incubation Temperature Induces DNA Hypomethylation in Lizard Brains
Article
Developmental stress can have organizational effects on suites of physiological, morphological, and behavioral characteristics. In lizards, incubation temperature is perhaps the most significant environmental variable affecting embryonic development. Wall lizards (Podarcis muralis) recently introduced by humans from Italy to England experience stressfully cool incubation conditions, which we here show reduce growth and increase the incidence of scale malformations. Using a methylation-sensitive AFLP protocol optimized for vertebrates, we demonstrate that this low incubation temperature also causes hypomethylation of DNA in brain tissue. A consistent pattern across methylation-susceptible AFLP loci suggests that hypomethylation is a general response and not limited to certain CpG sites. The functional consequences of hypomethylation are unknown, but it could contribute to genome stability and regulation of gene expression. Further studies of the effects of incubation temperature on DNA methylation in ectotherm vertebrates may reveal mechanisms that explain why the embryonic thermal environment often has physiological and behavioral consequences for offspring.
