THE BIOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE EASTERN GOLDFIELDS OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA: Vertebrate Fauna

WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 9 years ago

Introduction: The vertebrate fauna of the Lake johnston-Hyden Study Area is poorly known. The area is east of the region considered by Chapman and Dell (1985) in their examination of the biology and zoogeography of the wheatbelt herpetofauna and, apart from a few papers (e.g. Whitlock 1937; Carnaby 1933, 1938) which deal with the periphery of the Study Area, there are no published avifaunal data. Except for a catalogue (Kitchener and Vicker 1981) which includes the few opportunistically collected specimens, the mammal fauna is also poorly documented.
