Predation of Ameivula cipoensis (Squamata: Teiidae) by Tropidurus montanus (Squamata: Tropiduridae): A citizen science case.

Abstract

Ameivula cipoensis was observed being preyed upon by Tropidurus montanus. This interaction highlights the predator-prey dynamics within their shared habitat. The observation was made through citizen science, emphasizing the role of public participation in contributing to scientific knowledge. This case provides insight into the ecological relationships between these lizard species and can aid in understanding the complexity of their ecosystem.
