Table 1 Summary statistics of Egernia kingii populations for the number of individuals caught at each site: those that had regenerated tails and those that had re-regenerated tails; the percentage that the re-regeneration contributed to the total tail (original and regenerated tissue), and the regenerated tissue only.
From: Re-regeneration to reduce negative effects associated with tail loss in lizards
