The taxonomy and nomenclature of Iberian Algyroides are problematic. The first taxon described, A. hidalgoi Boscá, 1916, was based on a single specimen that was subsequently lost. The description of the second taxon, A. marchi Valverde, 1958, was based on the comparison of a newly discovered population with the original description of A. hidalgoi. However, A. hidalgoi specimens have never been recorded since for any locality. Therefore, three questions need to be addressed: Is A. hidalgoi Bosc…

Species list of the European herpetofauna – 2020 update by the Taxonomic Committee of the Societas Europaea Herpetologica
TLDR
According to the list, 301 species (95 amphibians, 15 chelonians, including six species of sea turtles, and 191 squamates) occur within the expanded geographical definition of Europe, which includes 14 non-native species.
A survival story: evolutionary history of the Iberian Algyroides (Squamata: Lacertidae), an endemic lizard relict
TLDR
An improved and time-calibrated multilocus phylogenetic analysis of the Iberian Algyroides indicates that not the Last Interglacial, but instead the Last Glacial Maximum led to a population bottleneck followed by a recovery/expansion, which should be taken into account for conservation policies.
Fossil amphibians and reptiles from the Neogene locality of Maramena (Greece), the most diverse European herpetofauna at the Miocene/Pliocene transition boundary
TLDR
The large number of distinct amphibian and reptile taxa in Maramena makes this Greek locality by far the most diverse and speciose among all European localities across the latest Miocene and earliest Pliocene.
Phylogenetic patterns and ontogenetic origins of limb length variation in ecologically diverse lacertine lizards
TLDR
An ancestral ‘rocky’ or ‘generalist’ habitat preference, and phenotype–habitat associations were particularly supported when examining size-adjusted forelimb length in 69 species that represented all known Lacertini genera, and revealed an elevated interlimb ratio in high-vegetation species, which might be linked to climbing performance in species with relatively longer forelimbs.
Genotyping validates the efficacy of photographic identification in a capture‐mark‐recapture study based on the head scale patterns of the prairie lizard (Sceloporus consobrinus)
TLDR
It is concluded that automated photographic identification based on head scale patterns is a reliable and accurate method for identifying individuals over time and has potential for successful application in many species.

Systematics of the Podarcis hispanicus complex (Sauria, Lacertidae) III: valid nomina of the western and central Iberian forms.
TLDR
It is proposed to treat type 1 and type 2 of the Iberian wall lizard Podarcis hispanicus as distinct species because of their level of genetic and phenotypic divergence, large area of distribution and ample evidence for reduced or absent introgression in contact zones.
A phylogeny and revised classification of Squamata, including 4161 species of lizards and snakes
TLDR
A new large-scale phylogeny of squamate reptiles is presented that includes new, resurrected, and modified subfamilies within gymnophthalmid and scincid lizards, and boid, colubrid, and lamprophiid snakes.
Systematics of the Palaearctic and Oriental lizard tribe Lacertini (Squamata: Lacertidae: Lacertinae), with descriptions of eight new genera
TLDR
Both mtDNA and morphology indicate that Lacerta and Timon are sister taxa, and DNA suggests further possible relationships among genera, as European Lacertidae show a pattern of repeated spread, often accompanied by restriction of previous groups.
