 Dietary and habitat preferences of the Fijian Crested Iguana (Brachylophus vitiensis) on Yadua Taba, Fiji
Dietary and habitat preferences of the Fijian Crested Iguana (Brachylophus vitiensis) on Yadua Taba, Fiji
The Fijian Crested Iguana, Brachylophus vitiensis, is endemic to the Fiji Islands and is currently listed as Critically Endangered under current IUCN criteria (2002) and is the only Fijian reptile listed as Endangered in the Fiji Biodiversity and Action Plan (1998).
The species is restricted to dry forest habitats (which in itself is one of the most threatened vegetation types in the Pacific) and has experienced several local extinctions in the recent past due to extensive destruction of this habitat.

 bp conservation programme
The critically endangered Fijian crested iguana (Brachylophus vitiensis) was discovered on the Fijian island of Yaduataba in 1979.
The species was later recorded on a further seven islands but the Yaduataba population is currently the only protected group.
Data on other island populations is limited to a recent survey of the island of Monuriki, where it is estimated that the surviving iguana population will become extinct within 5-15 years.

This reptile fauna is almost entirely Indo-Pacific in origin, with the exception of two species of iguana, the Fiji banded iguana (Brachylophus fasciatus, EN) and Fiji crested iguana (Brachylophus vitiensis, CR), which are endemic to the Fiji-Tonga area and the only species with close relatives from the Americas.
Besides the 30-odd species endemic to this hotspot, two reptile genera are endemic: the genus Brachylophus (which comprises the two species of iguanas), and the genus Ogmodon, represented by a single species, the venomous 'bola' or Fiji snake (O.
The banded iguana (Brachylophus fasciatus, EN) is found throughout Fiji and Tonga and has been introduced to Vanuatu.

 CRES Projects: Intestinal Amoeba Infections in Reptiles
The San Diego Zoo recently experienced a cluster of mortalities due to entamebiasis in its lizard and snake collection, but the source of the infections could not be determined.
However, previous work in the Pathology Division's clinical laboratory at the San Diego Zoo's CRES has shown that Fiji Island banded iguanas Brachylophus fasciatus asymptomatically carry an Entamoeba sp.
Researchers were therefore concerned that the Zoo's critically important Fiji iguana population was the source of the amoeba causing fatal infections in its snakes.
