''Bavayia'' is a genus of lizards in the family Diplodactylidae. Species in the genus ''Bavayia'' are also known commonly as New Caledonian geckos or bavayias. The genus is native to the remote New Caledonia and Loyalty Islands. The 41 species are moderately small to medium-sized geckos, and are distinguished from other genera by their tail length and the shape of their digits. Etymology The generic name, ''Bavayia'', is in honor of Arthur Bavay, a French pharmacist and herpetologist. Description All species of ''Bavayia'' have elongated digits, with each claw on the edge of each seta. They are fairly drab in coloration. Behavior ''Bavayia'' species are nocturnal, and spend the daylight hours hiding under bark or rocks, or in tree holes. Species These 41 described species are recognized as being valid: *'' Bavayia ashleyi'' *'' Bavayia astrongatti'' *'' Bavayia borealis'' *'' Bavayia boulinda'' *'' Bavayia caillou'' *'' Bavayia campestris'' *'' Bavayia centralis'' * ...

Bavayia Crassicollis
''Bavayia crassicollis'', also known as the strand bavayia is a gecko endemic to the Loyalty Islands in New Caledonia. The habitat and range of this species are thought to have been reduced by clearance of land for human habitation and agricultural use, which poses an ongoing threat. Introduced species are thought to have decreased its population through predation, and the introduced electric ant (''Wasmannia auropunctata The little fire ant (''Wasmannia auropunctata''), also known as the electric ant, is a small (approx long), light to golden brown (ginger) social ant native to Central and South America, now spread to parts of Africa (including Gabon and Camero ...'') may both directly exclude the lizard from its habitat and affect the invertebrate fauna which it predates.

Diplodactylidae
The Diplodactylidae are a family in the suborder Gekkota (geckos), with over 150 species in 25 genera. These geckos occur in Australia, New Zealand, and New Caledonia. Diplodactylids are the most ecologically diverse and widespread family of geckos in both Australia and New Caledonia, and are the only family of geckos found in New Zealand. Three diplodactylid genera (''Oedura'', ''Rhacodactylus'', and ''Hoplodactylus'') have recently been split into multiple new genera. In previous classifications, the family Diplodactylidae is equivalent to the subfamily Diplodactylinae. Habitat Like other geckos, Diplodactylidae often live in warm areas that are around the temperature of . They mostly live in rain forests, up in the trees for protection. However, they are also found in cooler climates such as those found in southern New Zealand, where they have been found to be active in temperatures ranging from 1.4 to 31.9C. Reproduction Viviparity is notable as a trait unique to diploda ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bavayia Centralis
''Bavayia centralis'' is a species of geckos endemic to New Caledonia. The range of ''Bavayia centralis'' is along the border between New Caledonia's South Province and North Province, with its remaining extent of occurrence estimated in 2022 at 400 sq km, reduced by historic habitat loss and at further risk from wildfires and nickel mining. The introduced electric ant (''Wasmannia auropunctata'') may both directly exclude the lizard from its habitat and affect the invertebrate fauna which it predates. The species name In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called nomenclature ("two-name naming system") or binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, bot ... references the '' Chaîne centrale'' mountain range of Grande Terre.

Bavayia Cocoensis
''Bavayia cocoensis'' is a species of geckos endemic to New Caledonia. At the time of its description in 2022 this species was only known from one area of the Koniambo Massif with an area of 2 sq km, and was considered to meet the IUCN Red List The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data Book, founded in 1964, is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biol ... criteria for being Critically Endangered.

Bavayia Campestris
''Bavayia campestris'' is a species of geckos endemic to New Caledonia. This species is endangered by habitat degradation and loss caused by wildfires and nickel mining, and is affected by cats, which may directly predate it, as well as the introduced electric ant (''Wasmannia auropunctata The little fire ant (''Wasmannia auropunctata''), also known as the electric ant, is a small (approx long), light to golden brown (ginger) social ant native to Central and South America, now spread to parts of Africa (including Gabon and Camero ...''), which may both directly exclude the lizard from its habitat and affect the invertebrate fauna which it predates.

Bavayia Caillou
''Bavayia caillou'' is a species of geckos endemic to New Caledonia. This species is believed to have a range restricted to approximately 400 sq km, reduced by clearance of land by burning for use in agriculture and forestry, and the range is threatened with further reduction by wildfires. Its habitat is at risk of degradation by deer and pigs that have been introduced, and the introduced electric ant (''Wasmannia auropunctata'') may both directly exclude the lizard from its habitat and affect the invertebrate fauna which it predates.

Bavayia Boulinda
''Bavayia boulinda'' is a species of geckos endemic to New Caledonia. There are two known populations of this species, found on elevated ultramafic landscapes near the summits of massifs on the island of Grande Terre, and separated by a distance of about 12 km. This habitat is at risk from wildfires and nickel mining. Its habitat is also at risk of degradation by deer and pigs that have been introduced, and the introduced electric ant (''Wasmannia auropunctata The little fire ant (''Wasmannia auropunctata''), also known as the electric ant, is a small (approx long), light to golden brown (ginger) social ant native to Central and South America, now spread to parts of Africa (including Gabon and Camero ...'') may both directly exclude the lizard from its habitat and affect the invertebrate fauna which it predates.
