Abstract The role of the Western Whip snake Coluber viridißavus was demonstrated as a definitive host for Sarcocystis podarcicolubris sp. nov. of the Italian Wall lizard Podarcis sicula and the Tyrrhenian Wall lizard Podarcis tiliquerta. Sporocysts (9.58 x 6.94 μm) of S. podarcicolubris from a naturally infected snake C. viridißavus were fed to a Sarcocystis free lizard P. sicula and via arthropods Musca domestica to another Sarcocystis free lizard P. tiliquerta. About 3-4 months later sarcocysts could be detected in both lizards. The cysts measured 90-130 μm × 450-550 μm. The cyst wall had 2.5-3 μm long villus like protrusions. The sausage-shaped bradyzoites measured circa 7.7 × 2 μm. Refeeding of the experimentally infected lizards to the snake led to a renewed shedding of sporocysts after a prepatency of 12 -15 days.

Species that are able to solve novel problems through social learning from either a conspecific or a heterospecific may gain a significant advantage in new environments. We tested the ability of a highly successful invasive species, the Italian wall lizard Podarcis sicula , to solve a novel foraging task when social information was available from both a conspecific and an unfamiliar heterospecific ( Podarcis bocagei ). We found that Italian wall lizards that had access to social information made fewer errors, regardless of whether the demonstrator was a conspecific or a heterospecific, compared to Italian wall lizards that individually learnt the same task. We suggest that social learning could be a previously underappreciated, advantageous mechanism facilitating invasions.
