Wall lizards

Effect of urbanisation on scent, physiology, size and colouration

First time that I study a non-avian species!

I assisted Isabel Damás-Moreira on her fieldwork in Rovinj and Pula, Croatia. We captured, sampled and measured hundreds of wall lizards (Podarcis muralis) from urban and wild locations. The aim of the study is to asses the adaptation of these lizards to urban environments.

• Feces and scent samples
• Morphometric measurements
• Photography for colouration measurements
