Dierogekko
''Dierogekko'' is a genus of geckos in the family Diplodactylidae. The genus is endemic to the northwest portion of New Caledonia. They are sometimes known commonly as the striped geckos or the New Caledonian geckos. ''Dierogekko'' are small geckos with simple, granular scales and subdued patterning of broad longitudinal stripes or spots. They are similar in overall appearance and habit to closely related geckos in the genera ''Bavayia'' and ''Oedodera'', and the type species ''D. validiclavis'' was once referred to ''Bavayia''. ''Dierogekko'' species occur in small, fragmented areas of humid forests and dry maquis shrubland in the ultramafic massifs of Province Nord. They are among the most threatened lizards in the world; of the nine species, five are critically endangered, three are endangered, and one is data deficient and known from only a single specimen. Threats include habitat destruction by operational and planned nickel mines, and predation, competition, or habitat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Anthony Whitaker
Anthony Hume Whitaker (5 September 1944 – 20 February 2014) was a New Zealand herpetologist, contributing a 50-year career of fieldwork, pioneering research and species discoveries. His is still the largest collection of reptile and amphibian specimens donated to Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. Biography Born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England, on 5 September 1944, Whitaker emigrated to New Zealand with his family in 1951, and became a naturalised New Zealander in 1976. He grew up in Upper Hutt, attending St. Patrick's College, Silverstream, and later gaining his Bachelor of Science degree majoring in zoology from Victoria University of Wellington in 1966. He married and fathered two children, and lived in Motueka for much of his life. Whitaker died from a heart attack while mountain-biking near Motueka on 20 February 2014. Herpetology work Whitaker's passion for reptiles was evident from an early age, collecting early specimens of skink while growing up ...

Diplodactylidae
The Diplodactylidae are a family in the suborder Gekkota (geckos), with over 150 species in 25 genera. These geckos occur in Australia, New Zealand, and New Caledonia. Diplodactylids are the most ecologically diverse and widespread family of geckos in both Australia and New Caledonia, and are the only family of geckos found in New Zealand. Three diplodactylid genera ('' Oedura'', '' Rhacodactylus'', and ''Hoplodactylus'') have recently been split into multiple new genera. In previous classifications, the family Diplodactylidae is equivalent to the subfamily Diplodactylinae. Habitat Like other geckos, Diplodactylidae often live in warm areas that are around the temperature of . They mostly live in rain forests, up in the trees for protection. However, they are also found in cooler climates such as those found in southern New Zealand, where they have been found to be active in temperatures ranging from 1.4 to 31.9C. Reproduction Viviparity is notable as a trait unique to di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bavayia
''Bavayia'' is a genus of lizards in the family Diplodactylidae. Species in the genus ''Bavayia'' are also known commonly as New Caledonian geckos or bavayias. The genus is native to the remote New Caledonia and Loyalty Islands. The 41 species are moderately small to medium-sized geckos, and are distinguished from other genera by their tail length and the shape of their digits. Etymology The generic name, ''Bavayia'', is in honor of Arthur Bavay, a French pharmacist and herpetologist. Description All species of ''Bavayia'' have elongated digits, with each claw on the edge of each seta. They are fairly drab in coloration. Behavior ''Bavayia'' species are nocturnal, and spend the daylight hours hiding under bark or rocks, or in tree holes. Species These 41 described species are recognized as being valid: *'' Bavayia ashleyi'' *'' Bavayia astrongatti'' *'' Bavayia borealis'' *'' Bavayia boulinda'' *'' Bavayia caillou'' *'' Bavayia campestris'' *'' Bavayia centralis'' * ...

Habitat Destruction
Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby reducing biodiversity and species abundance. Habitat destruction is the leading cause of biodiversity loss. Fragmentation and loss of habitat have become one of the most important topics of research in ecology as they are major threats to the survival of endangered species. Activities such as harvesting natural resources, industrial production and urbanization are human contributions to habitat destruction. Pressure from agriculture is the principal human cause. Some others include mining, logging, trawling, and urban sprawl. Habitat destruction is currently considered the primary cause of species extinction worldwide. Environmental factors can contribute to habitat destruction more indirectly. Geological processes, climate change, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
