  abstract = {{A}n eradication of two invasive taxa, the {R}oof {R}at ({R}attus rattus) and {I}ce plants ({C}arpobrotus spp.), was undertaken in 2011 and 2012 on the protected nature reserve of {B}agaud island, located in {P}ort-{C}ros national {P}ark (south-eastern {F}rance). {R}. rattus eradication was successful while {C}arpobrotus spp. eradication is still in progress. {T}o assess the effects of {R}. rattus eradication on island reptile populations ({M}ontpellier {S}nake {M}alpolon monspessulanus, {E}uropean {L}eaf-toed {G}ecko {E}uleptes europaea, {C}ommon {W}all {L}izard {P}odarcis muralis), a pre-eradication monitoring was conducted in 2010 and 2011, and a post-eradication monitoring in 2013 and 2014. {C}ensus was performed with three semi-quantitative methods: (1) three transects of 80 m long and 2 m wide; (2) two quadrats 1225 m(2); (3) five rocky microsites, habitats for {E}. europaea. {V}ery few individuals of {M}. monspessulanus were observed. {S}ignificant results were obtained only for {E}. europaea: after eradication, the number of observed juveniles increased and all observed individuals, independently of their age groups, were more outside shelters than inside. {T}hese results can be explained by the loss of avoidance behaviour that {E}. europaea displayed when in presence of {R}. rattus, and by lower predation pressure, given that both species are nocturnal. {T}he elapsed time since eradication of {R}. rattus is quite short and some species have not necessarily visibly responded demographically. {A}dditional monitoring in the coming years will provide further insights.},
