Resumen
Durante millones de años, la historia geológica y sus barreras han provocado el surgimiento de numerosos endemismos y especies únicas que enriquecen nuestra fauna, siendo España, dentro del ámbito europeo, uno de los países que mayor variedad de anfibios y reptiles posee. En este estudio se valorará la situación poblacional de dos especies cuya endemicidad y singularidad en la costa granadina los convierten en exponentes de gran importancia para la fauna local: Hyla meridionalis y Chamaeleo chamaeleon. Se procede a realizar una evaluación de la dinámica poblacional de estas especies a partir de los datos de muestreo correspondientes al periodo 2021-2023, incorporando al análisis un conjunto de variables climáticas recogidas en estaciones meteorológicas próximas a la zona de estudio. Una vez obtenidos los resultados acerca del estado que presentan ambas poblaciones se establece la situación local de las mismas y se discuten posibles métodos de manejo para salvaguardar a las especies cuyas poblaciones se encuentren en estado de amenaza.

Spain, within Europe, is one of the countries with the greatest variety of amphibians and reptiles. This study will assess the population status of two species whose endemicity and uniqueness on the Granada coast make them highly important representatives of the local fauna: Hyla meridionalis and Chamaeleo chamaeleon. The population dynamics of these species are assessed based on sampling data from the 2021-2023 period, incorporating into the analysis a set of climatic variables collected at meteorological stations near the study area. Once the results regarding the status of both populations are obtained, their local status is established, and possible management methods to safeguard species whose populations are threatened are discussed.
