Abstract     
Cuora flavomarginata Macrochelys temminckii Testudo hermanni graeca horsfieldii kleinmanni marginata Testudinidae Trachemys scripta elegans Geochelone carbonaria elegans sulcata Kinixys belliana Chinemys reevesii Terrapene ornata Pseudemys concinna Chrysemys picta Kachuga tentoria Kinosternon subrubrum Sternotherus carinatus odoratus minor This report presents data on incursions and interceptions of exotic vertebrates in Australia that have occurred within the country and at the national border, over the past 10 years. It includes data on species (that are not widely established) found ‘at large’ in the environment, and seizures, surrenders and thefts from private keeping within Australia. It also includes data on animals intercepted entering the country as stowaways or in attempted smuggling incidents. Information on animal numbers and species and incident locations (at state/territory level) is presented, providing a national picture of which exotic vertebrates have been sighted at or within Australian borders. High-risk species are identified for future priority biosecurity actions, to prevent new pests establishing. Data sources included state, territory and federal government agencies, the Zoo and Aquarium Association and online publications. Information varied in quantity and quality from the different sources, with some agencies having far more detailed information than others. The reporting of animal sightings and interceptions depends on (a) the general awareness of threats posed by exotic species and (b) the effectiveness of pest-related legislation and its implementation (which in turn is dependent on government resources).
