Book excerpt: This edited volume is a timely and comprehensive summary of the New Zealand lizard fauna. Nestled in the south-west Pacific, New Zealand is a large archipelago that displays the faunal signatures of both its Gondwanan origins, and more recent oceanic island influences. New Zealand was one of the last countries on Earth to be discovered, and likewise, the full extent of the faunal diversity present within the archipelago is only just starting to be appreciated. This is no better exemplified than in lizards, where just 30 species (20 skinks, 10 geckos) were recognized in the 1950s, but now 104 are formally or informally recognized (61 skinks, 43 geckos). Thus, New Zealand contains one of the most diverse lizard faunas of any cool, temperate region on Earth. This book brings together the world’s leading experts in the field to produce an authoritative overview of the history, taxonomy, biogeography, ecology, life-history, physiology and conservation of New Zealand lizards.

Book excerpt: Habitat manipulation to favour prey species is a potential alternative management technique to conventional predator control methods. New Zealand lizards are suitable taxa for evaluating the effectiveness of habitat manipulation, but to do so we need good baseline information about the study population as well as reliable sampling techniques. To this end, the three main aims of this research were to conduct a baseline survey of lizard distribution and species composition along the entire length of Kaitorete Spit, Canterbury; to develop a new sampling method (artificial retreats) for Canterbury geckos (Hoplodactylus "Canterbury"); and to test the relative effects of habitat and predator manipulation on survival of McCann's skinks (Oligosoma maccanni). Pitfall trapping identified differences in species distribution across duneland, farmland and shrubland habitats, and a decline in capture rates of spotted skinks (O. lineoocellatum "Central Canterbury") over a 3-year period. Canterbury geckos preferred artificial retreats made from Onduline over those made from corrugated iron and concrete, whereas skinks showed no preferences. It was also found that Onduline retreats could be used to detect Canterbury geckos following translocation and to estimate population size. Annual survival probability of McCann's skinks increased at sites with predator exclosures, but stayed constant at control sites and sites with artificial retreats. Therefore, predator control, but not the addition of artificial retreats, is predicted to benefit McCann's skinks. Our recommendations include predator control for spotted skinks near Birdlings Flat, Kaitorete Spit, and the development of standard guidelines for using artificial retreats.
