摘要: We sampled the frog and reptile species on 63 quadrats chosen to represent geographical extent diversity of terrestrial environments in a 75 000 km 2 study area Carnarvon Basin. Twelve 17 gecko, 10 pygopodid, 16 dragon, 58 skink, four goanna snake were recorded, an average 16.3 per quadrat. Patterns composition related biogeographical, ecological local evolutionary processes. Four assemblages distinguished, each relating gradients different set precipitation plus soil topographic attributes. In these terms, Poisson error models with logarithmic links fitted relationships. Virtually identical patterns emerged when we re-analysed data using taxonomy that was based functional morphology. If processes are be protected along biogeographical processes, reserve system will need sample range various rainfall, identified by analyses.
