Abstract:
AbstractFrugivory in lizards is often assumed to be constrained by body size; only large individuals are considered capable of consuming fruits, with the potential of acting as seed dispersers. However, only one previous study has tested the correlation of frugivory with body and head size at an archipelago scale across closely related species. All nine lava lizards (Microlophus spp.) were studied on the eleven largest Galápagos islands from 2010 to 2016 to investigate whether frugivory is related to body and head size. We also tested whether fruit abundance influences fruit consumption and explored the effect of seed ingestion on seedling emergence time and percentage. Our results showed that across islands, lava lizards varied considerably in size (64–102 mm in mean snout–vent length) and level of frugivory (1–23%, i.e., percentage of droppings with seeds). However, level of frugivory was only weakly affected by size as fruit consumption was also common among small lizards. Lava lizards consumed fruits throughout the year and factors other than fruit abundance may be more important drivers of fruit selection (e.g., fruit size, energy content of pulp). From 2,530 droppings, 1,714 seeds of at least 61 plant species were identified, 76% of the species being native to the Galápagos. Most seeds (91%) showed no external structural damage. Seedling emergence time (44 versus 118 days) and percentage (20% versus 12%) were enhanced for lizard-ingested seeds compared to control (uningested) fruits. De-pulping by lizards (i.e., removal of pulp with potential germination inhibitors) might increase the chances that at least some seeds find suitable recruitment conditions. We concluded that lizards are important seed dispersers throughout the year and across the whole archipelago, regardless of body size.

Abstract:
Following Darwin’s visit to the Galápagos in 1835, the species of lava lizards inhabiting the archipelago were scientifically described in the remaining decades of the 19th century. Notably, only a single species was found on each of the surveyed islands, with different species on most islands. Many species have also expanded their distributions onto surrounding islets. Based on morphological and genetic evidence, I describe herein a new species of lava lizard from the 0.8 km2 Gardner islet located 8 km east of the southern island of Floreana. The new species is most similar in morphology and coloration to its sister taxon M. grayii from Floreana and nearby Champion, Caldwell, and Enderby islets. Genetic distances, haplotype networks, reciprocal monophyly and differences in scale counts support recognition of specimens from Gardner as a new species. Finally, I discuss a potential biogeographic scenario leading to the evolution of the new species described in this paper.
