Biofluorescence within the genus Pachydactylus
Biofluorescence in one Namibian Gecko species of
the Genus Pachydactylus is reported. In situ analysis of
Pachydactylus vanzyli as well as analysis of sympatric
microendemists as well as habitat analysis were undertaken
to gain further insights into the ecological
significance of biofluorescence.

Image documentation on the climbing ability of the Dice Snake Natrix tessellata (Laurenti, 1768)
This photo documentation demonstrates the climbing ability of the Dice Snake Natrix tessellata with pictures from the Lower Nahe Valley (Rhineland-Palatinate),
from Lake Wörthersee (Carinthia) and from the National Park Danube Floodplains (Lower Austria). It shows Dice Snakes to be good and skilful climbers, which, if the habitat is suitable, often climb on bushes
and trees standing in the shore area for basking, resting and sometimes for mating.

Aposematic tail colouration in a juvenile Adolfus africanus (Boulenger, 1906) (Squamata: Lacertidae), with comments of the biological significance of caudal signalling colours
Based on the find of a strikingly blue-tailed juvenile of the otherwise cryptically coloured African rain forest lacertid Adolfus africanus, the ecological functions of different tail colours in scincomorph lizards are briefly reviewed and discussed.
