I was looking up some small skinks on the net and came across the South-Eastern Slider (Lerista bougainvillii) and saw that the ones that live on the mainland lay eggs and the ones that are found on the bass strait islands and kangeroo island give birth to live young.
I find this extremly interesting and wonder if this is a example of adaptaion of the species when the islands had not broke of from the mainland and when it did they adapted to survive. Or does this give evidence to evolution.
And i still dont see why they clasify the two a same species? wont they be different as they both have diffrent reproduction means.
Thanks for any replies, Aaron.
