Description

Cape Verde: Infraco Limited, Electra S. A., Government of Cape Verde, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17281154 ABSTRACT Wind energy is part of a sustainable development for the Cape Verde Islands considered by the National Government in the 2003-2010 Energy Plan.

However sustainable development is also synonym of habitat alteration with direct and indirect impacts on fauna. Therefore it is important to assess its impact, especially on endemic species like the Tarentola caboverdiana substituta gecko, exclusive to S. Vicente Island. In this study we have performed a preliminary diet and behavioural study of this species.

The intention was to identify their main prey in relation to the spectrum of available invertebrates and analyze activity patterns, refuge selection and thermal ecology in order to gather knowledge on some ecological aspects of the species that were unknown until the date. With this information we can provide some mitigation measures for this gecko regarding the construction of a wind farm in S. Vicente Island and contribute with valuable data to the conservation of the herpetofauna of the Cape Verde Islands.
