Teira dugesii (Sauria: Lacertidae) - high aggregation
Original language description
The Madeiran wall lizard Teira dugesii (Milne Edwards, 1829) is endemic to the Madeiran archipelago (Kwet, 2009), where it occurs in a wide range of habitats from sea level up to mountain tops (Sadek, 1981). However, several populations (probably introduced by human activity) have been also reported from the city of Lisbon, Portugal (Sá Sousa, 1995), Selvagens islands (Bischoff et al., 1989) and several islands of the Azore archipelago (Malkmus, 1984). T. dugesii is omnivorous with a diet consisting mainly of insects, plant leaves, flowers, pollens, fruits and seeds. Plant residues (nectar, blooms, leaves) may even represent up to 60 % of the diet (Sadek, 1981). This species is also considered to be the first lizard reported to consume plant nectar (Elvers, 1977) and occasional predation on seabirds nestlings (Calonectris diomedea) has been reported (Matias et al., 2009). This paper reports on a high aggregation of individuals on a single site.
