...H. Bender; G. Coulson ABSTRACT Collisions between vehicles and macropods pose problems for road safety, animal welfare and wildlife conservation in Australia. We tested the ShuRoo, which is marketed specifically to deter kangaroos from approaching vehicles. We recruited 18 fleet operators...

... (van der Ree et al. 2011). The construction and use of roads have been shown to lead to fragmentation and loss of habitat, wildlife mortality due to wildlife vehicle collisions (WVC), and disrupted animal movements and migration (Forman et al. 2003; Jaeger et al. 2005; Fahrig and Rytwinski 2009...

... with animals, mostly attributed to kangaroos. The cost of these collision was AUD$15.3 million in 2006, with an average claim amount of AUD$2 260 (Rowden et al. 2008). These costs are the direct costs of vehicle damage and do not take into account the impacts of injury and even death to humans from collisions...

... (Prevett 1996). Road-related mortality While Human-Vehicle related casualties and fatalities in Australia have been recorded since the early 1920s (Federal Office of Road Safety 1998); Animal Vehicle Collisions (AVCs) and in particular Koala Vehicle Collision (KVCs), have only been researched with varying...

... by expansion of rainforest vegetation and Black She-oak, Allocasuarina littoralis , scrub. The chief threats to continued survival of the Peninsula's Koala colony are further loss of habitat, within as well as outside reserves, and further mortality from dogs, motor vehicles and the disease chlamydiosis...

In response to the observation that the population of the bearded dragon Pogona barbata had crashed in peri-urban Western Sydney, we investigated the nature and extent of testis deformity. It was observed that individuals collected...

Distributions of these populations and the presence of linking vegetation may be more important to our notions of Koala survival than changes in actual numbers of animals. © 2017 Royal Zoological Society of New South...

... Panorama race track during the Bathurst 1000 race, held annually on the second weekend of October. Such a crash also has the potential for the race to be withdrawn from Bathurst by the international racing governing body. The race has a significant financial benefit for the town, attracting some 80,000...

The descriptions of the thylacine-like animals had an enormous amount of variety in their colour concerning the striping of the rumps that ranged from dark brown to pale brown and hardly visible. One particular report was of two...

...Jill Bough This paper gives an overview of research into the history and use of donkeys in Australia. Although the role that other draught animals played in the opening up and economy of the colony has been recorded, that of the donkey has not been systematically researched before. The first three...

... the coast from Yeppoon. Woppa had naturally occurring koalas according to some secondary sources, although we found no supporting empirical evidence. When the Woppaburra people settled on the island approximately 1,000 years ago, they found an abundance of animal life including koalas, possums and macropods...

... agreed upon by State Cabinet, it would have made it compulsory for landowners to rid their land of these animals because they would then have been noxious species. Over 1964 and 1965, culled kangaroo populations crashed during drought. It showed that for kangaroo management to be effective in the long...

... and Senior 2003). However, the population crashed during the 1980 s (P. Johnson, pers. obs.) and no specimens have been detected in the area since then. There have been several attempts to reintroduce L. aurea into the wild from captive bred populations. The reintroductions have occurred at Long Reef Golf...
