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

 IngentaConnect Threats to the Critically Endangered endemic Bermudian skink Eume...
The Bermudian rock lizard or skink Eumeces longirostris is categorized as Critically Endangered on the 2000 IUCN Red List.
Skinks are vulnerable to habitat loss, introduction of non-native species and mortality caused by discarded bottles and cans that act as self-baiting traps.
The population on Southampton Island is currently the largest known on Bermuda and appears to be viable; sustained isolation from predators and people is essential to its maintenance.

 Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Bermuda subtropical conifer forests (NA0301)
The islands are distinguished as having the northernmost mangrove forests in the Atlantic, which is made possible by the warm Gulf Stream current.
Restricted to this small archipelago, all endemic species are especially vulnerable to introduced predators and alien pests, and unfortunately the islands have seen the extinction of many species since the time of human settlement.
The only native terrestrial reptile is the endemic Bermuda skink (Eumeces longirostris), a rock lizard that is also unique in being the sole non-avian, native land vertebrate.

 Envirotalk - Topic::Hope for the rock lizard
The Bermuda rock lizard is a real species, with the scientific name Eumeces longirostris.
It is a skink [Webster: any member of the family Scincidae, common worldwide, usually having a smooth, shiny body].
Its name, longirostris, means "long-nosed," but a better name would be "pointed-nosed" or "tapered-nosed," to describe the snout, which instead of being bluntly rounded as in other skinks, is sharp, its underside upturned slightly at the end like the muzzle of a Shetland sheepdog.

Island reptiles include colonies of harmless lizards, often seen sunning themselves on rocks until approaching humans or predators scare them away.
The best-known species is the Bermuda rock lizard (Eumeces longirostris), also known as a skink.
It's said to have been the only non-marine, non-flying vertebrate on Bermuda before the arrival of European colonists.

 Society for Conservation Biology (SCB)
There are thousands of scientific papers written which cover many aspects of our island's biology.
However, our only terrestrial endemic vertebrate (the Bermuda Skink, Eumeces longirostris), which has been on the IUCN critically endangered list since 1996 (and had been locally recognized as once abundant but now rare for many years previously) has hardly been studied.
I am not sure if many would agree with me that this is a true outlook on the way our industry works but I would be interested to hear from anyone about what they think!
