The encounter 2002 expedition to the Isles of St Francis, South Australia: Vertebrate fauna
The vertebrate fauna of the Isles of St Francis includes eight native and one introduced mammal, thirty native and one introduced bird and nineteen native reptiles. The terrestrial vertebrate ecosystem is dependent on the annual nesting of thousands of Short-tailed Shearwaters. A population of Carpe...
