Evidence for a Natural Population of Tiger Snakes (Notechis Scutatus) on Carnac Island
View through CrossRef
The tiger snake (Notechis scutatus) population on Carnac Island has been well-studied by ecologists, but the origin of this population is still the subject of debate. Many published studies make reference to the population being artificially established by a snake showman in the early 20th century. Here, we provide an alternative perspective, backed up with new genetic evidence, and propose that the population is more likely a remnant from the natural isolation of the island that may have been supplemented by any such translocation event.
