About this book

Language: French

The ocellated lizard dates back to the mid Pliocene epoch, extending from 5.3 to 2.6 to million years ago. Specialists now distinguish four different species (Timon lepidus, T. nevadensis, T. tangitanus, and T. pater).

Until recently, the ocellated lizard was an abundant species, notably in Spain and Portugal where they could be spotted with ease. For the last twenty years, the situation seems to be deteriorating, resulting in sudden local disappearances. Can global warming be beneficial to the ocellated lizard? Are the loss and fragmentation of habitats a threat to the population? What practical methods for conservation and long-term monitoring are available for this majestic reptile? This book answers those and other questions.

Summary in French:
Vous apprendrez que le plus ancien lézard ocellé date du milieu du Pliocène, époque s’étendant de -5,3 à -2,6 millions d’années. Et que dans leurs travaux les plus récents, les spécialistes distinguent quatre espèces différentes (Timon lepidus, T. nevadensis, T. tangitanus et T. pater).

Jusqu’à une période récente, le lézard ocellé était une espèce abondante, notamment en Espagne et au Portugal où on l’observait avec facilité. Depuis une vingtaine d’années, la situation semble se dégrader, ce qui se traduit localement par des disparitions brutales. Le réchauffement climatique peut-il être bénéfique au lézard ocellé ? La perte et la fragmentation des habitats constituent-elles une menace pour les populations ? Quelles sont les méthodes concrètes pour la conservation et le suivi à long terme de ce majestueux reptile ?
