The alpine she-oak skink Cyclodomorphus praealtus is a threatened alpine endemic lizard from the mainland of Australia. The species is previously known from disjunct populations in Kosciuszko National Park in New South Wales and three isolated localities in the Victorian Alps. The New South Wales and Victorian populations represent separate evolutionarily significant units. In 2011, a fourth Victorian population was discovered. We conducted a phylogenetic analysis and determined that the newly discovered population is discrete and may have been separated from other populations since the end of the last glacial maxima. This population requires separate management.

SummaryRetrograde metamorphism of gneisses and pegmatites leads in part to the destruction of feldspar and its replacement by late-stage lobate myrmekite and muscovite. Reactions promoted by retrogression suggest a range in volume of quartz production that may supplement that developed by exsolution and lead to deviations from the strict proportionality relationship suggested by previous workers. There is no need, however, to propose that quartz in myrmekite originates by constriction of pre-existing quartz within exsolved albite.
