Summary
Quail Island is presently the focus of an ecological restoration effort. Before restoration can begin the current biota of Quail Island must be surveyed. This study surveyed the lizard fauna of the island. Different habitat types were sampled using both pitfall traps and active searches. This survey provides baseline data against which future surveys can be compared.
