NUEVOS REGISTROS PARA EL GECKO DE LIMA, Phyllodactylus sentosus (Reptilia, Geckonidae)

Abstract: ResumenEl gecko Phyllodactylus sentosus ha sido registrado únicamente en unos pocos sitios arqueológicos de la ciudad de Lima, de donde es endémico, y es considerado una especie en eligro rítico, conociéndose muy poco sobre su distribución y estado de conservación. En la presente publicación se presenta 4 nuevos lugares de registro para esta especie, todos dentro de la ciudad de Lima. Palabras clave: Phyllodactylus sentosus, geckonidae, distribución, Lima, especies amenazadas, nuevos registros AbstractThe geck… Show more

“…Due to the fragmentation or complete elimination of the natural habitats over which cities are built or expanded, an urban system contains only a small surface area with fragments of original vegetation or even artificial green areas (Rees 1997). The result is a drastic change in fauna, with a reduction in the original abundance and diversity, as documented by various authors: birds (e.g., Blair and Launer 1997;Faggi 1998;Blair 1999;Cam et al 2000); marsupials (e.g., Almeida et al 2008); rodents (e.g., Cavia et al 2009); bats (e.g., Oprea et al 2009); amphibians (e.g., ; reptiles (e.g., Cossíos and Icochea 2006); and fish (e.g., Cunico et al 2011).…”

“…In such a scenario, the inbreeding and probability of loss of genetic variability would have been much lower than at present. To reverse this situation, we propose carrying out a management program that includes the translocation of individuals between Huaca Pucllana and the four closest localities (Mateo Salado, Huallamarca, Parque de las Leyendas, and San Marcos) which, together with Huaca Pucllana, occupy the northwest of the city (Cossios and Icochea, 2006) and very likely constituted a single population in the past. The translocation of reptiles is a usual practice in conservation and to mitigate conflicts between humans and wildlife (Germano and Bishop, 2009).…”

“…They are known only in 10 sites located in Lima City and one apparently isolated population located 318 km (straight line) to the south-southeast from the southernmost record in the Ica region (Venegas et al, 2017). The sites are isolated from each other and characterized by a dry environment where the vegetation is scarce or absent (Cossios and Icochea, 2006;Pe ´rez et al, 2013;Olivera et al, 2016;Venegas et al, 2017). The small area that this species occupies and the small number of localities, with other records of its presence, are the main reasons to consider these geckos among the species most threatened with extinction (Pe ´rez and Balta, 2016).…”

“…Small species with high home fidelity, high ecological specialization or low vagility are particularly prone to experience adverse effects due to habitat fragmentation 5 . As a case in point, the Lima leaf-toed gecko ( Phyllodactylus sentosus), endemic of the city of Lima (Peru) and classified as critically endangered in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 11 , is constrained to small patches mainly represented by pre-Incan archeological areas called huacas and hilltops 12 15 (Fig. 1 ), which feature arid soil with scant vegetation and small rocks that resemble the natural habitat previous to human occupancy 11 .…”
