The use of body condition and haematology to detect widespread threatening processes in sleepy lizards (Tiliqua rugosa) in two agricultural environments
Agricultural practices, including habitat alteration and application of agricultural chemicals, can impact wildlife resulting in their decline. Determining which of these practices are contributing to declines is essential if the declines are to be reversed. In this study, the health of two geographically separated sleepy lizard (Tiliqua rugosa) populations was compared between a rangeland envi...
متن کاملRickettsia Detected in the Reptile Tick Bothriocroton hydrosauri from the Lizard Tiliqua rugosa in South Australia
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 need for a greater understanding of tick-host interactions to create more informed risk management ...

16 17 High gestational loads result in fetuses that occupy a large proportion of the body 18 cavity and may compress maternal organs. Compression of the lungs results in 19 alterations in breathing patterns during gestation which may affect the energetic 20 cost of breathing. In this study, the energetic cost of breathing during gestation was 21 determined in the viviparous skink, Tiliqua rugos...

متن کاملThermocyclic entrainment of lizard blood plasma melatonin rhythms in constant and cyclic photic environments.
We assessed how chronic exposure to 6-h cryophase temperatures of 15°C in an otherwise 33°C environment entrains the rhythm of blood plasma melatonin rhythms in lizards ( Tiliqua rugosa) subjected to constant dark (DD), constant light (LL), and to 12:12-h light-dark cycles (12L:12D). The peak of the melatonin rhythm was entrained by the cryophase temperature of the thermocycle in DD and LL, irr...
