Earlham -- Biological Diversity -- Tuataras rock!!
They inhabit no more than 20 to 30 islands around New Zealand. Restricted distribution is really dangerous for species. Restricted distribution enhances the chances of extinction by stochastic events. Imagine a hurricane strength storm hitting the area of New Zealand. Such a storm may greatly reduce the numbers of tuatara, leaving them incredibly vulnerable to any other ...

(Webb et al. 1983b). The frequency and severity of early nest season flooding has increased significantly since the 1800s (Tucker, pers. comm.), but the effect of such natural stochastic events on recruitment of long lived crocodilians is debatable. Many populations of C. johnsoni have recovered since legal protection was enacted in the 1960s1970s. Recent population estimates in the Northern ...
