    PI or Mainland, Does It Really Matter Anymore?

    Mniarogekko jalu is full spieces, that means a higher percentage of 2or3% of genetic material is different from M.chahoua. M.chahoua from GT samples have big variations in colours and morphologic shape, but nothing different in a genotypic way. No PI are mentioned because of the lack of...

    PI or Mainland, Does It Really Matter Anymore?

    Well.. I think NO : - would be a too big mistake Belep is far North and Pine Island Far south. - Vegetation is really diverse. No common distribution of Araucaria pine trees on ile Art/Belep as Pine Island.. So why make that mistake? - As far As I know, PDV and Frank didn't search animals on...

    PI or Mainland, Does It Really Matter Anymore?

    I agree with your last part and I have to say sorry because maybe I explained myself wrong.. I try in another way : we have to use As much as we can the original line-name-tracking. Then , Yann/Budy/few others that have M.jalu , are the ones that years ago had the opportunity to put their...

    PI or Mainland, Does It Really Matter Anymore?

    You are right Melissa..BUT - M.jalu is represented by holotypes in museums (Revision of giant geckos of NC of the genus Rhacodactylus (Bauer et.al2012)) . - We only lack the samples from Pine Island, because no animals where found during Bauer et.al 2 or 3 expeditions. Even in 2015 during a...

    What Caging Do You Use?

    I personally used every kind of cages. Everything customized , from wooden,to glass for adults, and plastic-racks for babies/juvies. Now, I am finding myself really good with 40x40x40 & 60x40x40 (cm) glass CREAS cages. with heat and light on top. I use them for singles or pairs. Bioactive...

    PI or Mainland, Does It Really Matter Anymore?

    Exactly. And shares all the typical traits that we normally see in "PI" animals.. Obviously, RB is on the bottom south of GT, that would makes sense if we think that the PI population maybe linked to the south forms of M.chahoua. This animals seems to have also original tail, something really...

    @ET Geckos HI :) I am very curious about an animal that you showed few times : the pink/pastel female out of Wicket X Sparrow.

    PI or Mainland, Does It Really Matter Anymore?

    The oldest of the dscussions and the most dangerous when it comes to explain and speak about scientific terms and proves. - Today NO M.chahoua samples from Pine Island is represented in any study, museum-holotype, so scientifically speaking, M.chahoua do not exist on PI. We know that they live...

    Interesting Article: Bauer's Field Observations on Wild Chahoua

    Really a fantastic article! I have the honor to text with Mr.Bauer periodically and it s really amazing how Mniarogekko sp. Have been such cryptic/misterious/intricate genus to study in years. I think that an important part of this , is to not confuse the few , but specific terms meaning...
