Calotes versicolor ( Squamata : Agamidae) – A New Invasive Squamate for Borneo
Calotes versicolor, hitherto known from the Asian mainland, from eastern Iran, across the Indian Subcontinent, to Indo-China and Indo-Malaya, with several naturalized populations in both the New and Old Worlds, is here reported for the first time from Borneo (from Brunei Darussalam, in the nor...

| description | Calotes versicolor, hitherto known
from the Asian mainland, from eastern Iran,
across the Indian Subcontinent, to Indo-China
and Indo-Malaya, with several naturalized populations
in both the New and Old Worlds, is here
reported for the first time from Borneo (from
Brunei Darussalam, in the northwestern part of
the island). The ecological consequences of
invasion of this agamid lizard, reported from
studies elsewhere, include competition with other
saurian species, and predation on local invertebrates
and small vertebrates, with undesirable
effects in terms of conservation of the local biota. |
