Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

A retrospective analysis of the data on distribution of the Desert Lidless Skink, Ablepharus deserti Strauch, 1876 in Kazakhstan is undertaken. Based on new species records and museum collection revision a view on Ablepharus deserti distribution in the republic is markedly expended. The perspectives in the study of territorial and ecological interrelations of Ablepharus deserti and Asymblepharus alaicus in the mountain foothills of Western and Northern Tien-Shan are outlined.
