| Summary: | Includes bibliographical references. === This study investigates the colonisation of Praslin Island by C. vanzoi, three years after the translocation event. An examination of habitat use, lizard abundance, distribution and population genetics was conducted and population comparisons investigated changes in morphometrics or lizard condition since translocation. These investigations were cunducted during the wet season and the dry season. This information will help determine the value of translocation as a tool for the conservation of this species. |
