This project was part of a broader cross-cultural collaborative project: Warrakan'puy Djäma; towards a biocultural approach to conservation.
Here we apply collaborative sampling and genetic techniques with Indigenous rangers across poorly sampled East Arnhem Land to identify the species and lineages across three cryptic reptile genera. Using a reduced representation DNA sequencing approach, we identified 13 species within Carlia, Ctenotus and Diporiphora genera. We provide fine scale species distribution data, including 243 new records across 93 new locations and some range extensions to aid future collaborative surveys. We also provide evidence for a landscape barrier driving local population structure and genetic differentiation across C. amax , C. munda, Ct. quirinus and D. bilineata.

The BC (Biocultural) Notice is a visible notification that there are accompanying cultural rights and responsibilities that need further attention for any future sharing and use of this material or data. The BC Notice recognizes the rights of Indigenous Peoples to permission the use of information, collections, data and digital sequence information (DSI) generated from the biodiversity or genetic resources associated with traditional lands, waters, and territories. The BC Notice may indicate that BC Labels are in development and their implementation is being negotiated.
