The numerical encoding of scale morphology highly improves photographic identification in lizards
Photographic identification is a promising marking technique alternative to the toe-clipping, but is time consuming, particularly when a large number of individuals is involved. For this reason several authors had frequently preferred the toe-clipping. In this study we analysed the black spot patter...
