...Francis Lemckert I recorded the calling activity of the males of a population of the common eastern froglet Crinia signifera during 1988 to determine the seasonal and temporal patterns of calling activity and the influence of micrometeorological variables on calling. The patterns of calling were...

... used bat activity as a measure of the use of riparian and up-slope zones along headwater streams by bats, and to determine whether past timber harvesting influenced the use of these areas by bats by comparing regrowth with no retained riparian buffers and mature forest. This study found no significant...

... and Sanson (2002) proposed that nocturnal activity, including feeding, was primarily a strategy to avoid activity at times of greatest environmental stress. This paper examines the link between the nocturnal tree species use and koala feeding behaviour by exploring (a) nocturnal tree species use, (b...

...Francis Lemckert; Gordon Grigg We recorded the calling activity of frogs at a permanent pond 80 km south of Sydney between 1987 and 1989, documenting the calling seasons of five species and relating calling activity (within calling seasons) to temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and rainfall...

... acid cycle, we characterized CS activity levels in extracted muscles to see if this better explained age-related differences in peak aerobic performance. Surprisingly, juvenile sparrows had significantly higher CS activity levels than adults (197.8 vs. 179.0 µM g −1 min −1 , respectively). This higher...

...Martin Predavec httpdx.doi.org/10.7882/AZ.2015.011 Report on the activities of the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales for 2013-2014 Dr Martin Predavec President RZS NSW Presented at the Annual General Meeting at the Annual General Meeting. At the close of the of the Society on 8...

...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...

... there is limited information on the extent of carcass use by scavengers and the length of carcass persistence. This prevents land managers from making well-informed decisions on whether carcasses should be removed if produced in excessive numbers following activities such as culling, or extreme weather and disease...

... relationships were found between dingo management, dingo activity and fox activity. Dingoes appeared to suppress fox activity where dingoes were uncontrolled or only opportunistically controlled. At sites where dingoes were absent or in low numbers, fox activity was higher, and this inverse relationship...
