description This thesis presents the Western Spiny-tailed Skink (Egernia stokesii badia) as a case study of how identifying and addressing knowledge gaps on the ecological requirements of a threatened reptile in Australia is key to informed, effective management. Understanding the specific biotic and behavioural requirements of the skink is critical to design translocation projects in active mining areas in the future, to prevent further population declines of this culturally significant, endemic species.
