An enclosure design allowing quantification of dispersal in lizard population studies. - Br. J. Herpetol., 6 (5): 165-168.

×Dispersing common lizards were trapped in pitfall traps buried along both sides of an enclosure that fenced the study area. Local movements across the fence comprised about half of the captures made. An estimated 25% of the movements were not recorded by the traps. Less than 10% of the emigrants were detected by searching the surroundings of the plot. Use of the method described resulted in a tenfold increase of the accuracy of the emigration estimates compared to estimates obtained by searching the surroundings of the area.

The Unique Sympatric Population of Uzzell’s Lizard (Darevskia uzzelli, Lacertidae, Squamata) Reveals Clonal Diversity and Urgent Conservation Value. - Animals 2026, 16, 2140

×The identification of the parthenogenetic Uzzell’s lizard, Darevskia uzzelli (Darevsky & Danielyan, 1977), in Armenia represents the first record of this species in the country. Before this discovery, D. uzzelli was considered an endangered species endemic to a small region of northeastern Türkiye. Genetic and morphological analyses have confirmed that the Armenian lizards are indeed D. uzzelli, consistent with specimens from Türkiye. Morphological and genetic data also firmly discriminate D. uzzelli from the closely related parthenogenetic species D. unisexualis. Our results reveal significant morphological variation in this parthenogen among populations. Notably, the sympatric area in Armenia where D. uzzelli has been identified is unique for hosting the richest known assemblage of parthenogenetic lizards. Here, D. uzzelli coexists with three other parthenogenetic species already known to inhabit the region: D. unisexualis, D. armeniaca, and D. dahli. This exceptional population requires continuous study and protection due to its high scientific value.
