The status of the introduced Mourning Gecko (Lepidodactylus lugubris) in Guadeloupe (French Antilles) and the high probability of introduction of other species with the same pattern of distribution

Résumé

The Mourning Gecko, Lepidodactylus lugubris, is an invasive parthenogenetic species first recorded on Guadeloupe in November 2010. Today it is widely distributed on the island, at least in the south of Grande-Terre and the northeast of Basse-Terre. It occurs in and around human habitations, often together with another invasive gecko, Hemidactylus mabouia. Other species of invasive geckos native to the Eastern Hemisphere have similar life histories and therefore are expected to become established in Guadeloupe in the future. The impact of these introduced species on the native biodiversity of the island is not yet clear.
