Iberian rock lizard


common wall lizard ("Podarcis muralis"), it is found at higher altitudes and it climbs higher up cliffs. Male Iberian rock lizards are often territorial in the breeding season. The eggs, laid by sexually mature females under stones or in other concealed locations, are about long. The young hatch out after about six to eight weeks and mature in about two years. A 2008 field study found females mate with males with more green on their bodies. The Iberian rock lizard is listed as vulnerable in the IUCN Red

Most, but not all, individuals have a distinctive green belly and the juveniles may have blue tails. A 2008 field study reported the underparts of Iberian rock lizards turn green with maturity, and the upperparts gradually turn green as the lizard ages further. The Iberian rock lizard is found in the Cantabrian Mountains and in Galicia in northwest Spain, and also in

with minimal energy expense. The Iberian worm lizard is believed to be an opportunistic feeder through the study of central Spanish "B. cinereus" populations. Initially, "B. cinereus" was thought to feed on the diverse array of prey that inhabited the underside of rocks, but a correlation with feeding habits and under rock prey was not seen. Its diet consisting mainly of insects and insect larvae, which are the worm lizard's the most abundant food source, led observers to make the conclusion that "B. cinereus" acts as

Even more interesting, in some lizard species (such as the Iberian rock-lizards, "Lacerta monticola"), their chemical secretions differ based on the individual that produced them. These chemicals are different enough that lizards detecting the chemicals can determine whether the individual that produced the chemical is familiar or not, much like a human knows whether they've

Its coloration is fleshy-pink, violet, or brown depending on its region. Adults are usually about in total length, but can be up to in total length. Iberian worm lizards are frequently mistaken for small snakes or large worms. Due to its subterranean lifestyle, the Iberian worm lizard exhibits characteristically small, primitive eyes.

Gomphurus modestus


Gomphurus modestus is a species of dragonfly in the family Gomphidae. It is endemic to the southeastern United States, and is found in medium to large, slow-flowing rivers over rock, mud and sand substrates. This species was formerly a member of the genus "Gomphus". It is now considered to be a member of the genus "Gomphurus", after "Gomphurus" was elevated in rank from subgenus to genus in 2017. The IUCN conservation status of "Gomphurus modestus" is "LC", least concern

Iberian worm lizard


Recent studies into the mitochondrial and nuclear genomic data of 47 isolated "B. cinereus" populations show rather large sequence divergence between two apparent clades, leading some researchers to call for a division of the Iberian worm lizard into two species. While little is known of "B. cinereus" in comparison with some other reptile species, new insight is growing about this primitive, ancestral reptile. The Iberian worm lizard is found within Portugal and through most of central and southern Spain. "B. cinereus" is a subterranean species found in a

The Iberian worm lizard has similar morphology to a worm because of its limbless ringed body, but unlike worms it possesses small, underdeveloped eyes, small smooth scales, and most importantly it has all characteristics of a typical vertebrate like, vertebral column, lungs, and closed circulatory system. The head is small and blunt, used for digging, with underdeveloped eyes covered by skin, and a characteristically ridged ringed body covered in scales. Iberian worm lizard tails are short and possess the same scales

The Pyrenean rock lizard is assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as being "near threatened".

This agrees with an informal assessment made by Charles Clarke in 2001, who also classified the species as Vulnerable based on the IUCN criteria. However, Clarke noted that since substantial populations of "N. mikei" lie within protected areas, they "are unlikely to become threatened in the foreseeable future".

Data deficient


A data deficient (DD) species is one which has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as offering insufficient information for a proper assessment of conservation status to be made. This does not necessarily indicate that the species has not been extensively studied; but it does indicate that little or no information is available on the abundance and distribution of the species. The IUCN recommends that care be taken to avoid classing species as "data deficient" when the absence of records may indicate dangerously low abundance:
