Finally there is Eumeces gaigeae the "Variable Skink" in North America: seem to be unclear about this skink is sometimes listed as a separate species sometimes as a subspecies of Eumeces multivirgatus either as Eumeces multivirgatus gaigeae or as Eumeces multivirgatus epipleurotus.

Gilbert's Skink (''Eumeces gilberti'') is a heavy-bodied medium-sized lizard of the family of skinks living in the south-western United States.
Eumeces gilberti was first described by Van Denburgh in 1896.
It was named in honor of Van Denburgh's teacher, Dr. Charles H. Gilbert (1859 - 1928), who at the time was a professor of zoology at Stanford University.

 Eumeces "gilberti" placerensis - Northern Brown Skink
"Richmond and Reeder (2002, Evolution 56: 1498-1513) presented evidence that populations previously referred to Eumeces gilberti represent three lineages that separately evolved large body size and the loss of stripes in late ontogenetic stages.
We have placed the name "gilberti" in quotation marks to indicate that it refers to a group composed of several species." Herpetological Review 2003, 34(3), 196-203.

 Garden Cat & Gilbert's Skink   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Passing through the gate I saw one of the cats next to the strawberry patch with its back arched and all four paws gathered beneath it as if trying to hold something down, and that cat had on its face its all-too-familiar I'm- not-doing-anything-awful look, so I figured I'd better take a look.
The cat ran away leaving stunned on the grass a 10- inch long, glossy, yellow-brown, longitudinally striped, orange-mouthed, yellow-pink-tailed Gilbert Skink, EUMECES GILBERTI.

A greater age contrast in one species could scarcely be imagined.
This sharp difference in coloration led to the description of the "red-headed skink" of the Yosemite Valley as a distinct species, Eumeces gilberti (Van Denburgh, 1896, pp.

 Habitat Relationships of Amphibians and Reptiles in California Oak Woodlands   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Across all study areas, several positive relationships were found between animal abundance and the cover of specific tree species.
At Tejon Ranch, two salamanders -- Batrachoseps nigriventris and Ensatina eschscholtzii croceater -- were associated with canyon live oak (Quercus chrysolepis) and two lizards -- Sceloporus occidentalis and Eumeces gilberti -- were associated with California fl oak (Q. kelloggii).
At San Joaquin, B. nigriventris was associated with foothill pine (Pinus sabiniana), as was B. attenuatus at Sierra Foothill.

 Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles
Serious threats have been identified and populations are (a) lower than they were historically or (b) extremely local and small.
Road construction and forest clearing leads to the gradual isolation of these populations across the landscape, thus interrupting metapopulation dynamics resulting in an increased probability of localized population extirpation.
Other species with specialized habitat requirements include, Clemmys muhlenbergii (calcareous bogs), Eumeces fasciatus (open ledge and talus along upland ridges), Rana pipiens (wet meadows and bogs), Scaphiopus holbrookii (river valley floodplains), Gyrinophilus porphyriticus (springs and high gradient streams) and Plethodon glutinosus (mature forests).
