Abstract

The world range of the lizard Podarcis hispanica atrata is restricted to the Columbretes archipelago in the Mediterranean. We examined its actual distribution, abundance and some aspects of its natural history. Lizards were found in four islets (combined area c. 20 ha). Densities on the largest islet (13 ha) are high (>600 lizards/ha), at least in favourable habitats. Population sizes on the smaller islets are extremely small (
