The intra-specific relations are much more complicated as can be displayed by the sub-species arrangement by GRUSCHWITZ und BÖHME (1985). Genetic investigations (SCHWEIGER et al., in preparation) demonstrate a high diversity in Italy and on the Balkan peninsula.
In central Europe, however, populations could be demonstrated to originate from four genetic lineages which can be explained by four post-glacial colonisation waves from southern France, upper Italy, the eastern adriatic region and from the central Balkan peninsula. If one requests morphologic identifiability for sub-species, P. m. albanicus must be considered as a synonym for the nominate form and P. m. merremius as a synonym for P. m. brongniardii as outlined in SCHULTE et al 2008 (Allochthone Vorkommen der Mauereidechse (Podarcis muralis) in Deutschland, Zeitschrift für Feldherpetologie, 15: 139-156) . | |
