The species Tropidechis carinatus (Krefft, 1863) is herein restricted to north-east New South Wales and south-east Queensiand. A new species name, Tropidechis sadlieri sp. nov. has been assigned to north-east Queensland specimens formerly regarded as Tropidechis cari...
They live tucked away in the clay crevices of Queensland and South Australia's floodplains, often within the pre-dug burrows of other animals. Living in more remote locations than the coastal taipan, the inland taipan rarely comes into contact with humans, the Australian Museum reported. When ...
The world'sMost venomous snakeis the Australian taipan (Oxyuranus scutellatus), the largest member of the cobra family in Australia. Reaching 3.3 m (nearly 11 ft) in length, it is found in north-east Queensland. The taipan attacks without warning, inflicting several bites...
Data were also collected on the snake’s sex and the number and duration of approaches and sexual behaviours. In this species, sex of adult snakes can be accurately determined by body size (above) but also by colour (females are blue-grey, males are brown) and scale rugosity (females have...
caretta breeding grounds in south‐east Queensland. All P. platurus were adults (>500 mm total length) but the smallest Laticauda colubrina was 295 mm. Nearly 70% of turtles, and some 80% of P. platurus, were alive when found. About 45% of turtles were washed ashore when...

Island colonisation by animal populations is often associated with dramatic shifts in body size. However, little is known about the rates at which these evolutionary shifts occur, under what precise selective pressures and the putative role played by ada
