Cunningham's skinks
Article Abstract:
An attempt is made to find whether clearing of native vegetation around the Cunningham's 's rocky outcrops affected their ability to move between sites, which would in turn influence group structure. For this purpose, Cunningham skinks living in a natural vegetated reserve are compared with those in an adjacent area that was cleared over 70 years ago.
