Resumen
The general goal of this project is to clarify the status of the populations of Podarcis carbonelli inhabiting the low Guadalquivir Basin, following a three step procedure, namely:
1- To assess their taxonomical placement among the Iberian Podarcis by estimating their phylogenetic affinities and phylogeographic structure using genetic markers, as well as by characterising their morphological variation in comparison with other members of the P. hispanica complex.
2- To analyse the ecological and historical factors determining its distribution pattern at different scales (local and microhabitat)
3- To determine the area of occupancy, the area of occurrence and an estimate of relative abundance providing elements for attributing a conservation category
