Phymaturus williamsi. Parturition behavior
The Andean lizard Phymaturus williamsi (Lobo et al. 2013. Zootaxa 3683:117–132), is categorized as vulnerable (Abdala et al. 2012. Cuad. Herpetol. 26:215–248) and is endemic to Quebrada Vallecito (31.1791°S, 69.7092°W; WGS 84; 3000 m elev.), in the high Andes, 40 km NW of Calingasta, San Juan Provin...

| Sumario: | The Andean lizard Phymaturus williamsi (Lobo et al. 2013. Zootaxa 3683:117–132), is categorized as vulnerable (Abdala et al. 2012. Cuad. Herpetol. 26:215–248) and is endemic to Quebrada Vallecito (31.1791°S, 69.7092°W; WGS 84; 3000 m elev.), in the high Andes, 40 km NW of Calingasta, San Juan Province, Argentina. All species of Phymaturus (Liolaemidae) are viviparous, saxicolous, and mostly herbivorous (Lobo et al. 2016. Zool. J. Linn. Soc. 176:648–673). Reproductive activity has been recently documented (Castro et al. 2018. Herpetol. Conserv. Biol. 13:283–293); however, to our knowledge, parturition behavior has not been recorded. Here, we present new data related to the parturition behavior and neonate dimensions of P. williamsi. |
