Reptiles squamates
What this layer shows
Lizard and snake observations shared under a CC0 or CC BY 4.0 licence. The layer is very uneven: a few dozen records on an urban view against more than a thousand on a Mediterranean view of the same size, which reflects survey effort as much as the environment, and empty ground means that nobody has looked or that the data are not reusable. These observations do not amount to an inventory and give no information on refuges or protected habitats, even though the common wall lizard is present on most urban and railway sites. Where the publisher locates a record no better than a kilometre, it is drawn as a circle of that stated radius instead of a dot.
