Contributions to an up-date of the Red List of wild species from the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. Part II. Reptiles
Journal Title: Scientific Annals of the Danube Delta Institute - Year 2014, Vol 20, Issue
Abstract
Up to the present in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve (DDBR) there were recorded 12 native reptile species. The first Red List of the wild species from DDBR was drafted in 1999 and printed in 2000. Based on the results of investigations carried out since 2000 and taking into account the developments related to criteria for conservation status of wild species (on world-wide level, on European continental level, on EU level and on national level), the present work provides details on the proposals to consider the following conservations status to amphibians occurring in the DDBR: Testudo graeca (rare species in the DDBR) – Vulnerable status; Emys orbicularis (relatively common species in the DDBR) - Vulnerable status; Lacerta agilis (relatively common species on some marine levees) - Least Concern status; Lacerta trilineata (a rare species in the DDBR) - Vulnerable status; Lacerta viridis (rare species in the DDBR) - Least Concern status; Podarcis tauricus (occurs along the continental limit of the DDBR and on few marine levees of the lagoonary area) - Least Concern status; Eremias arguta (occurs only on the main marine levees) - Threatened status; Coluber caspius (rare species in the DDBR) - Vulnerable status; Coronella austriaca (rare species in the DDBR) - Vulnerable status; Natrix natrix (relatively common species in DDBR) - Least Concern status; Natrix tessellata (relatively frequent in the lagoonary area and rare in the proper Danube Delta) - Vulnerable status; Vipera ursinii (rare species in the DDBR) - Critically endangered status.
