Fig 4. Research needed for taxonomy of Australian lizards and snakes.

Polar graphs represent the proportion of the 4 research categories needed to complete taxonomic revision of a given species. All species assessed as probably or definitely needing taxonomic revision that would lead to increased diversity are included. Cumulative species count is provided around the exterior of the polar graphs. Two sections of the graphs are displaced to highlight the proportion of species for which the genetics/genomic research has already been completed. Of the 49 snake species containing undescribed species, 9 already have data available, only requiring analysis and manuscript preparation. Assessment data underlying figure available in S1 Data.
