... quantitative or qualitative analysis. Consequently, almost nothing is known about the character of this very obvious song. We made eight recordings of the dawn song of a male individual at the start of the breeding season on the south-east coast of Australia, in spotted gum forest, 350 km south of Sydney...

... in this research: qualitative thematic analysis and content analysis. Thematic analysis is a foundational form of qualitative analysis when working with textual data (Terry, Hayfield, Clarke and Braun 2017; Herzog, Handke and Hitters 2019). It is a systematic process of identifying themes within a text (LewisBeck...

... by Kristensen (1991) according to which, the two insect orders have evolved from a common ancestor (Sub-division: Paraneoptera). The qualitative analysis of the secretions emitted by aphids and thrips showed that there are many compounds or groups of compounds common to the two orders and, this suggests...

The small sample-size means that statistical analyses were not warranted, and the following account provides an exploratory, qualitative analysis only. Fine scale movement showed by GPS tracks overlapped with behaviour locations...

... al. 2001). As one of the first places settled by Europeans in Australia, the state of New South Wales faces major conservation challenges. Analysis suggests that the state retains only 33% of its pre-settlement ecological carrying capacity (NSW DPIE 2020). Over 1100 threatened species, populations...

These range from formal optimiza- tion methods t o more qualitative methods like multi-criteria analysis. WHAT...

This approach leads to testable predictions, both qualitative and quantitative, that are not otherwise possible. Of course, in some situations, it may be judged that an individual s inclusive fitness , based on genetic...

Squares were then laid back out into their original bandicoot formations in a dark room, unwrapped from the foil, and examined with a 395 nm (Capsulone) and a 395 410 nm (Dulex) torch, recording the qualitative difference in pink photoluminescence visible to the human eye...

The remoteness of the feeding areas makes it extremely difficult to quantify the composition of the diet, but recent qualitative studies (Green and Burton 1993...

These comments are aids to interpreting the basic conclusions from the statistical analysis. This study indicates that the issue of foxes...
