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.

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