Cirer, A.M. & Berg, M.P. van den (2025) -
In this study we compile data regarding lizard densities of the island populations of the Ibiza wall lizard, Podarcis pityusensis, which can serve as a baseline for future research and control of the invasive snakes, and in particular the horseshoe whip snake Hemorrhois hippocrepis, in the Pityusic Islands. Special attention has been given to the correct official spelling of 96 locations of which 89 are real rocks, islets and islands. For each island a short description, toponymy, faunal and floral aspects and some herpetological history is given, and a lizard density value was assigned. The results are very disturbing, with two confirmed- and three most likely extinct island populations of Podarcis pityusensis, and we call for coordinated action.
