摘要：
Species diversity, composition, relative abundance and evenness of the reptilian communities in Nechisar National Park were studied. The survey was conducted using pitfall traps, active search and cover sheet methods. The study identified 34 reptile species belonging to 3 orders (Squamata, Testudines, and Crocodylia). Squamata was the most diverse containing 30 species belonging to 2 suborders: Sauria which consists of 19 species from 7 families and 10 genera; and Serpentes which consists of 11 species from 5 families and 10 genera. Testudines included 3 species from 2 families and 3 genera. Crocodylia was represented by a single species. Reptile diversity varied among the different habitat types, with the bushland habitat having the highest number of species representing 29.69% of the total species recorded.
