- Discovery and Partial Genomic Characterisation of a Novel Nidovirus Associated with Respiratory Disease in Wild Shingleback Lizards (Tiliqua rugosa).
O'Dea MA, Jackson B, Jackson C et al. · PloS one · 2016-11 · open access
A respiratory disease syndrome has been observed in large numbers of wild shingleback lizards (Tiliqua rugosa) admitted to wildlife care facilities in the Perth metropolitan region of Western Australia. Mortality rates are reportedly high without supportive treatment and care. Here we used next…

- Rickettsia Detected in the Reptile Tick Bothriocroton hydrosauri from the Lizard Tiliqua rugosa in South Australia.
Whiley H, Custance G, Graves S et al. · Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland) · 2016-06 · open access
Rickettsiosis is a potentially fatal tick borne disease. It is caused by the obligate intracellular bacteria Rickettsia, which is transferred to humans through salivary excretions of ticks during the biting process. Globally, the incidence of tick-borne diseases is increasing; as such, there is a…
- Lizard movement tracks: variation in path re-use behaviour is consistent with a scent-marking function.
Leu ST, Jackson G, Roddick JF et al. · PeerJ · 2016-03 · open access
Individual movement influences the spatial and social structuring of a population. Animals regularly use the same paths to move efficiently to familiar places, or to patrol and mark home ranges. We found that Australian sleepy lizards (Tiliqua rugosa), a monogamous species with stable pair-bonds,…

Orr Spiegel, Stephan T. Leu, Andrew Sih et al. · Methods in Ecology and Evolution · 2016-02
- Artificial Water Point for Livestock Influences Spatial Ecology of a Native Lizard Species.
Leu ST, Bull CM · PloS one · 2016-01 · open access
Pastoralism is a major agricultural activity in drier environments, and can directly and indirectly impact native species in those areas. We investigated how the supply of an artificial watering point to support grazing livestock affected movement and activity patterns of the Australian sleepy…

Smyth AK, Smee E, Godfrey SS et al. · Royal Society open science · 2014-12 · open access
Introduction Agricultural practices can significantly impact wildlife. Much is known about habitat fragmentation of agricultural environments and how it negatively affects animal habitats, vertebrate populations and its secondary effects on health profiles of free-ranging individuals. Less is known…
