In a global context, there are few studies addressing effects on natural communities of habitat loss and isolation caused by hydroelectric dams. To better understand the impact of the flooding and island formation caused by the Balbina Reservoir on lizard communities of the central Amazon, I assessed the effects of island shape, size and isolation on species richness and composition and the influence of litter depth, and densities of trees and palms on the abundance of the most common species. Through litter browsing and visual encounter surveys, lizards were sampled on 20 islands and 6 control points on the nearby mainland. A total 1375 individuals were found, belonging to 16 taxa, in 5 families (Polychrotidae, Gekkonidae, Gymnopht...
