... physiological and psychological pain and is likely to impede the animals' normal anatomical, physiological and psychological development, and to compromise their survival in the wild. The role and value of flying fox carer groups are discussed. Posture and anatomical adaptations in neonatal flying-foxes (Genus...

... reefs thrive despite unfavourable conditions. These habitats provide a natural long-term setting to examine the impact of multiple interacting climate change factors on corals and understand the adaptations required by corals to inhabit these conditions. We review studies of coral skeletogenesis...

.... In this article, the successful management of such interactions is described through six key lessons learnt from over 20 years of adaptive management and its evolution into the current Fraser Island Dingo Conservation and Risk Management Strategy . These are (1) focus on people first, (2) understand local dingo...

...Jai M. Green-Barber; Julie M. Old ABSTRACT Many species have adapted their behaviour to survive in anthropogenically developed environments (hereafter referred to as developed). Eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus are common in developed areas, however very few studies have evaluated...
