Edge-of-range camera-trap records of Superb Lyrebird (Menura novaehollandiae) in western and central-north Tasmania (2018–2025)

Tasmania’s Superb Lyrebird (Menura novaehollandiae) was deliberately introduced to south‑east Tasmania in 1934 and has since dispersed across much of the island’s central bioregions. Despite this expansion, the Lyrebird’s future range dynamics remains uncertain, with recent modelling projecting that it will take over 50 years for the species to establish in the north-west of the island. This dataset documents recent, verified camera‑trap detections at or well beyond the extreme edge of the expected spread in 2025, at three locations: repeated sequences near Bird River at Macquarie Harbour (2018 to 2022), a single event near Rosebery in the southern Tarkine (2021-11-16), and a three-second video near Mt Roland in the central north (2025-08-08). These camera observations extend well beyond the Atlas of Living Australia records current to 2025. This Zenodo archive contains the Superb Lyrebird camera-network observation data from Tasmania, ALA records used in this study, still images from Fig. 2 and the 3-second video sequence from Mt Roland.
