本文报道了一种新技术的发展，该技术可能有助于在产卵地点稀缺成为主要限制因素的地区增加蜥蜴的数量。我们为科伦拜群岛濒临灭绝的蜥蜴亚种Podarcis hispanica atrata建立了人工产卵地点。我们的结果表明，这样的人工地点很快就被蜥蜴接受为SOP晒太阳和洞穴的区域。一只雌虫只用一个容器产卵，但人工场地的物理条件允许83%的卵成功发育，这些卵被实验放置在其中。还需要更多的研究来改进这项技术，并确定它是否适用于其他蜥蜴物种。
This paper reports the development of a new technique that may help to increase the number of lizards in areas where scarcity of oviposition sites constitutes the major limiting factor. We have created artificial egg-laying sites for the endangered subspecies of lizard Podarcis hispanica atrata in the Columbretes archipelago. Our results demonstrate that such artificial sites were quickly accepted by the lizards as areas SOP basking and burrowing. Only one container was used for oviposition by one female, but the physical conditions in the artificial sites allowed successful development in 83% of the eggs which were experimentally placed in them. Additional studies will be required to improve this technique and to determine if it might be applicable to other lizard species.
