Abstract

VALDEZ, Fernando  and  COSSIOS, E. Daniel. First record of cannibalism in the Lima leaf-toed gecko, Phyllodactylus sentosus (Reptilia, Phyl-lodactylidae). Rev. peru biol. [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.3, pp.315-318. ISSN 1727-9933.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/rpb.v24i3.13908.

We report a case of cannibalism for the Lima leaf-toed gecko, Phyllodactylus sentosus, in which an adult male devoured a juvenile. No reported cases were found in other species of the same genus, so we consider that this is the first report of cannibalism in Phyllodactylus

Keywords : cannibalism; Lima leaf-toed gecko; Phyllodactylus sentosus.
