New records of species distribution help advance our understanding of species biogeographical dynamics and, potentially, local adaptations. Here, we report for the first time the presence of the Mediterranean house gecko (Hemidactylus turcicus) on a small, isolated Aegean island from which only one other reptile species has been previously documented. This discovery contributes new distribution data, enriching future assessments of both the species and its habitat.
