Cyrtodactylus phetchaburiensis is a species of gecko that is endemic to Thailand. [1]

In biology, a species ( ) is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. While these definitions may seem adequate, when looked at more closely they represent problematic species concepts. For example, the boundaries between closely related species become unclear with hybridisation, in a species complex of hundreds of similar microspecies, and in a ring species. Also, among organisms that reproduce only asexually, the concept of a reproductive species breaks down, and each clone is potentially a microspecies.

Gekkonidae family of reptiles

Gekkonidae is the largest family of geckos, containing over 950 described species in 61 genera. Many "typical" geckos are members of Gekkonidae, including house geckos (Hemidactylus), tokay geckos, and day geckos (Phelsuma). Gekkonid geckos occur globally and are particularly species-rich in tropical areas.
