ECOLOGICAL ASPECTS ON LIZARD POPULATIONS FROM OBCINELE BUCOVINEI (SUCEAVA)

This paper aims to present several observations upon Ocinele Bucovinei’s reptile populations as a part of the biodiversity of thie region. We captured, marked during 2004 (June, August, September) 5-6 viviparous lizards (Zootoca vivipara), 4-5 sand- lizards (Lacerta agilis) and 6 slow worms (Anguis fragilis) which we subsequently freed. The specimen belonged to two biotopes, the first one measuring 3-4 ha and the second one of 2,7 ha. The reptiles were found in the mountain pastures and meadows and at the edge of the forests. We have identified their gender and we have measured morphometric characters (parameters and color pattern), weight, their body temperature and the habitat temperature
