The Dangers of Life in the City: Patterns of Activity, Injury and Mortality in Suburban Lizards (Tiliqua scincoides) (2002, background): “Radiotracked bluetongue lizards remained inactive during wet, cold days (Koenig et al., 2001), possibly explaining why fewer lizards were rescued on wetter days.”
Toad on the road: use of roads as dispersal corridors by cane toads (Bufo marinus) at an invasion front in tropical Australia. (2006, background): “For example, the number of road-crossings by radio-tracked bluetongue lizards (Tiliqua scincoides) was less than expected under null models of random-walk, indicating active road avoidance ( Koenig et al., 2001 ).”
Demographic effects of road mortality in black ratsnakes (Elaphe obsoleta) (2007, unknown): “To determine the effects of road mortality on the population, we used Vortex 9.5 (Lacy et al., 2003) to perform a population viability analysis (PVA) with and without road mortality included.”
Verified non-indigenous amphibians and reptiles in Florida from 1863 through 2010: Outlining the invasion process and identifying invasion pathways and stages (2011, background): “The Eastern Bluetongue Skink, Tiliqua scincoides (White 1790), is indigenous to a widespread region of northern, eastern and southeastern Australia, and portions of New Guinea, including urban and suburban habitat (Cogger 2000; Koenig et al. 2001), and it has been introduced to New Zealand (Kraus 20”
International Trade Status and Crisis for Snake Species in China (2004, background): “Some ecological factors facilitate persistence of blue-tongued lizards (Tiliqua scincoides) in Sydney suburbs, such as the gravid females are highly sedentary, the lizards can use shelters, prey in artificial environment, and grow rapidly (Koenig et al. 2001).”
