| Abstract |
|
Models for assessing the risk that exotic vertebrates could establish in Australia have been developed for mammals, birds (Bomford 2003; Bomford 2006, 2008), reptiles and amphibians (Bomford 2006, 2008; Bomford et al. 2005). These Risk Assessment models have been further explored by DAFWA to confirm that they reasonably predict public safety, establishment and pest risks across a full range of exotic species and risk levels. This document describes the risk assessment for the Ornate box turtle (Terrapene ornata), which has been assigned a VPC-endorsed Establishment Risk Rank of SERIOUS. Reptiles and amphibians were assessed for their risk of establishing wild populations in Australia. The Australian Reptile and Amphibian Model and two versions (3-factor, 7-factor) of the Australian Bird and Mammal Model were used.
