×Vor zwei Jahrzehnten entschied die Internationale Nomenklaturkommission, die wiederentdeckten Typen des südwestafrikanischen Wüstenrenners Pedioplanis undata (A. Smith, 1838) zu unterdrücken und einen Neotypus zur Sicherung nomenklatorischer Stabilität zu bestimmen. Sowohl der Antrag als auch die Entscheidung wurden relativ kurz im Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature publiziert, ohne jegliche bildliche Dokumentation. Um die damalige Aktion nachvollziehbar zu machen, werden hier die Fotos der relevanten Exemplare nachgereicht.

Mauereidechsen (Podarcis muralis) in Gabionen - Die Eidechse, Magdeburg/Düsseldorf, 35 (1): 8-11. ![](/AF/Images/Bibliografie/zsf.jpg)
×Es wird über den Fund von Mauereidechsen (Podarcis muralis) in mehreren Gabionen-Anlagen an einer ehemaligen Hüttenbahntrasse zwischen Oberhausen und Duisburg berichtet. Die „Populationen“ umfassen jeweils nur wenige Tiere, aber an einem Fundort wurde auch Reproduktion
nachgewiesen. In unseren zunehmend ausgeräumten Landschaften stellen Gabionen inzwischen vielerorts Ersatzlebensräume für Eidechsen dar – anstelle früherer Trockenmauern.

Die Peloponnesische Kieleidechse Algyroides moreoticus Bibron & Bory de Saint-Vincent, 1833, die Griechische Spitzkopfeidechse Hellenolacerta graeca (Bedriaga, 1886), die Riesensmaragdeidechse Lacerta trilineata trilineata Bedriaga, 1886, die Ionische Eidechse >Podarcis ionicus (Lehrs, 1902) und die Peloponnes-Mauereidechse Podarcis peloponnesiacus (Bibron &
Bory de Saint-Vincent, 1833) konnten an verschieden Standorten gefunden werden. Teilweise kamen an einem Fundort vier der genannten Arten gleichzeitig vor.

Reproductive characteristics of Darevskia daghestanica (Reptilia, Lacertidae) in Intra-Mountain Dagestan. - Current Studies in Herpetology, 24 (1-2): 61-65. ![](/AF/Images/Bibliografie/zsf.jpg)
×The paper presents the results of studying the reproductive biology of Darevskia da- ghestanica in the valleys of Khzanor and Kitlyarta rivers (Tsunta district, Republic of Dage- stan, Republic of Dagestan). Adult females were caught in the II–III decades of May 2021. In the following, the animals were kept singly in a laboratory. Lizards laid eggs from the third decade of May to the second decade of June. The body length of breeding females was 43.95– 56.20 mm. Each clutch contained from 1 to 5 eggs with a length of 6.05‒14.47 mm, a width of 4.28‒7.30 mm and a weight of 0.10‒0.40 g. Incubation in artificial conditions lasted 36–51 days. The body length of young lizards emerging from eggs was 20.24‒27.52 mm, and the mass was 0.20‒0.42 g. The length of eggs in a clutch negatively correlated with the fertility of females, and also statistically significantly differed in clutches with different number of eggs. The authors conclude that D. daghestanica is similar to other representatives of the Darevskia (caucasica) complex, as well as to lizards from the Darevskia (praticola) complex in terms of reproductive phenology, size of breeding animals, fertility and the size of offspring.

Длина яиц в кладке отрицательно коррелировала с плодовитостью са- мок, а также статистически значимо различалась в разных по числу яиц кладках. Авторы заключают, что D. daghestanica по фенологии размножения, размерам размножающихся животных, плодовитости и размерам потомства схожа с другими представителями Darev- skia (caucasica) complex, а также с ящерицами из Darevskia (praticola) complex.

Dietary Observations of Introduced Common Wall Lizards (Podarcis muralis) in a Suburban Environment, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. - Urban Naturalist Notes 11 (9): 1-8.
![](/AF/Images/Bibliografie/zsf.jpg)
×Introduced Common Wall Lizards (Podarcis muralis) have steadily increased their range on Vancouver Island and other parts of coastal British Columbia, Canada since the 1970s. Without substantial observations of their feeding habits in this introduced range, a full assessment of the ecological impact of this species introduction is not possible. In this study, we provide qualitative observations on the diets of a large sample of urban dwelling Common Wall Lizards collected from a residential neighborhood in Victoria, British Columbia. Specimens were euthanized, dissected, and had their entire digestive tracts examined. Our observations showed a rich diet of invertebrates typical of wall lizards, with ants (Family Formicidae) as the most detected prey followed by beetles (Order Coleoptera), and earwigs (Order Dermaptera). Adults consumed approximately 30% more prey taxa than juveniles. We also found the remains of other wall lizards within ~5 % of adult guts, suggesting cannibalism or carcass scavenging. The results of this study provide additional information for assessing the potential impacts of wall lizard trophic interactions in their British Columbian range and can help orient future investigations focused on this introduced species.

Sexual size dimorphism of Darevskia schaekeli. - Turk. J. Zool. 48: 198-202.

×Sexual dimorphism stands out as a significant evolutionary outcome of sexual selection between males and females across various species. Reptiles also exhibit distinct morphological differences between males and females. For instance, the genus Darevskia, exemplified by Darevskia schaekeli in this study, displays sexual dimorphism. Examination of morphological traits in this species revealed that males possess greater head length, trunk length, forelimb and hindlimb length, as well as a higher number of femoral pores compared to females. All these morphological distinctions, favoring males, are pivotal in their mating and reproductive processes. In this species, the mating process commences with the male biting the female’s head. Subsequently, he restrains her by gripping her hindlimbs and positions their cloacal edges to rotate his body in front of hers. Greater body length and hind limb size are crucial for this maneuver. During the mating season (spring), males exhibit a more diverse and prominent dorsal and lateral color pattern compared to females, suggesting a form of sexual selection within this species.
