...Jessica R. Marsh; Richard V. Glatz ABSTRACT The black summer fires of 2019–2020 burnt almost half of Kangaroo Island (KI), impacting large areas of high-quality native vegetation supporting many rare, endemic and/or undescribed invertebrate species. In the aftermath there was a need to survey...

...K. R. Ashman; D. J. Watchorn; D. A. Whisson ABSTRACT Identifying threats and their regional occurrence across a species’ range is increasingly valuable for prioritising threat-specific interventions and achieving effective conservation outcomes. We surveyed registered wildlife rehabilitators...

...A. R. Pople In order to monitor population trends through space and time, aerial surveys need to provide density estimates that are a constant proportion of the true population density and are therefore repeatable. Previous work has identified factors that affect the visibility of kangaroos from...

...Bradley Law; Jason Anderson; Mark Chidel Ten State Forests on the south-west slops 01 New South Wales were surveyed for bats at 39 forest sites and 24 water-bodies using ultra-sonic bat detectors, harp-traps, mist-nets and trip-lines. Thirteen species of bats were recorded for the region. Many...

...Francis Lemckert Since 1992 State Forests of New South Wales have conducted 16 surveys which have included the Green and Golden Bell Frog Litoria aurea as a target species. The majority of these surveys have been concentrated in northeastern New South Wales, an area from which there are few records...

... of information inherent in those prior techniques. We recommend an approach that reduces bias, can be consistently applied and enables information on presence of koalas Phascolarctos cinereus to be used to inform larger survey programs, ‘ground-truth’ predictive habitat mapping, etc. We describe a rapid...

...Garry Daly; Philip Craven; Alex Hyatt We surveyed a population of the Green and Golden Bell Frog Litoria aurea in and around two coastal lagoons at Meroo National Park on the south coast of New South Wales. Six survey sessions were conducted between 2002 and 2008. Seven 250 m transects located...

...A.S. Kutt; N.J. Colman ABSTRACT The choice of methods used for biodiversity assessments and monitoring are an important consideration for an effective inventory of species. There is little published data comparing trapping and active searching for reptile surveys. In this study we used data...

... (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus) cannot be justified based on these data. The data are too sparse, especially for the final survey years of 2020 and 2021, and it is this sparsity in combination with particular modelling choices made by Edgar et al . (2023) that drives their results. While not specifically considered...

...Brad Law; Leroy Gonsalves; Traecey Brassil; Isobel Kerr ABSTRACT Passive acoustic monitoring is a major new tool for applied ecology and conservation, allowing cost-effective biodiversity monitoring for vocal species. However, like all survey methods, care needs to be taken in how such data...

...Garry Daly; Glenn Hoye ABSTRACT Surveys for echolocating bats were conducted primarily by harp trapping and echolocation detection in the Shoalhaven region on the south coast region of New South Wales from 1989 to 2021. A total of 399 sites were surveyed by harp trapping and 175 sites through...

...Ron Haering; Vanessa Wilson; Annie Zhuo; Peter Stathis ABSTRACT The views of veterinary professionals were surveyed to inform the New South Wales Government about the extent, cost and nature of services they provide to free-living native animals and their interactions with the volunteer wildlife...

... in south-west Queensland, most notable for the presence of the night parrot Pezoporus occidentalis . We conducted two fauna surveys over 22 sites representing Spinifex grasslands, and Mitchell and Chenopod grassland habitats in 2018 and 2019, using pitfall, funnel and Elliott traps, and active searching...

... and delivery of services. To inform this process, we undertook an extensive review of the sector. We report here on the results from our survey of NSW volunteer wildlife rehabilitators, who have collectively reported over 1,000,000 rescues of sick and injured free-living wildlife over the past 16 years...

...B. Law; L. Gonsalves; R. Bilney; J. Peterie; R. Pietsch; P. Roe; A. Truskinger ABSTRACT Cost-effective surveys of low density koala populations are challenging, but technological developments in the acoustics field offer great potential for landscape-scale surveys and monitoring. We assessed...

...Michael J. Murphy A survey of the herpetofauna of Yarrigan National Park (NP), in the southern Pilliga forest in northern inland New South Wales, was done over the period 2011 to 2013. The total identified herpetofauna community comprised 11 frog species (three families) and 35 reptiles (10...

...Garry Daly; Glenn Hoye Reptile surveys were conducted in the early 1990s in the Dorrigo Forest Management Area, an area formerly comprising timber-production forests managed by the Forestry Commission of New South Wales. The surveys consisted of searches for reptiles along 54 transects together...
