André Marie Constant Duméril

André Marie Constant Duméril (1 January 1774 – 14 August 1860) was a French zoologist.

Common name

In biology, a common name of a taxon or organism (also known as a vernacular name, English name, colloquial name, country name, popular name, or farmer's name) is a name that is based on the normal language of everyday life; and is often contrasted with the scientific name for the same organism, which is often based in Latin.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Common name

Desert

A desert is a landscape where little precipitation occurs and, consequently, living conditions create unique biomes and ecosystems.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Desert

Endemism

Endemism is the state of a species only being found in a single defined geographic location, such as an island, state, nation, country or other defined zone; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Endemism

Family (biology)

Family (familia,: familiae) is one of the nine major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Family (biology)

Gabriel Bibron

Gabriel Bibron (20 October 1805 – 27 March 1848) was a French zoologist and herpetologist.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Gabriel Bibron

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Genus

George Albert Boulenger

George Albert Boulenger (19 October 1858 – 23 November 1937) was a Belgian-British zoologist who described and gave scientific names to over 2,000 new animal species, chiefly fish, reptiles, and amphibians.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and George Albert Boulenger

Gibraltar

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory and city located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, on the Bay of Gibraltar, near the exit of the Mediterranean Sea into the Atlantic Ocean (Strait of Gibraltar).

Heinrich Rudolf Schinz

Heinrich Rudolf Schinz (30 March 1777 – 8 March 1861) was a Swiss physician and naturalist.

Iberian Peninsula

The Iberian Peninsula (IPA), also known as Iberia, is a peninsula in south-western Europe, defining the westernmost edge of Eurasia.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Iberian Peninsula

John Edward Gray

John Edward Gray (12 February 1800 – 7 March 1875) was a British zoologist.

Lacertidae

The Lacertidae are the family of the wall lizards, true lizards, or sometimes simply lacertas, which are native to Afro-Eurasia.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Lacertidae

Lizard

Lizard is the common name used for all squamate reptiles other than snakes (and to a lesser extent amphisbaenians), encompassing over 7,000 species, ranging across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic island chains.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Lizard

Male

Male (symbol: ♂) is the sex of an organism that produces the gamete (sex cell) known as sperm, which fuses with the larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilisation.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Male

Mate choice

Mate choice is one of the primary mechanisms under which evolution can occur.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Mate choice

Oviparity

Oviparous animals are animals that reproduce by depositing fertilized zygotes outside the body (known as laying or spawning) in metabolically independent incubation organs known as eggs, which nurture the embryo into moving offsprings known as hatchlings with little or no embryonic development within the mother.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Oviparity

Robert Mertens

Robert Friedrich Wilhelm Mertens (1 December 1894 – 23 August 1975) was a German herpetologist.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Robert Mertens

Sahara

The Sahara is a desert spanning across North Africa.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Sahara

Species

A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Species

Subspecies

In biological classification, subspecies (subspecies) is a rank below species, used for populations that live in different areas and vary in size, shape, or other physical characteristics (morphology), but that can successfully interbreed.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Subspecies

Territory (animal)

In ethology, territory is the sociographical area that an animal consistently defends against conspecific competition (or, occasionally, against animals of other species) using agonistic behaviors or (less commonly) real physical aggression.

See Acanthodactylus erythrurus and Territory (animal)
