... witnesses to a Thylacine capture have enabled us to piece together the life history of one of the last captive specimens. This account raises important questions over the accepted sequencing of the final two Thylacines on display at the Hobart Zoo. Thylacine Thylacinus cynocephalus Beaumaris Zoo...

..., non-destructive sampling methods are more desirable, especially for species of conservation significance, but such methods remain poorly investigated. Capture effectiveness of the original Norrocky Trap (Norrocky 1984) and a design modified specifically to target crayfish of the genus Engaeus Erichson...

...Motohiro Hasegawa; Frank Carrick A trap to capture koalas, which can be deployed by one person, has been successfully trialed in an open forest in south-east Queensland. Nine adult koalas were captured in two trapping periods in 1993 and 1994. The use of this trap can increase the effectiveness...

...Murray Ellis As part of regional biological surveys 51 sites were established in the rangelands of western New South Wales, Australia. To investigate the impacts of pit size, drift fence material and fence configuration on capture rates small vertebrates each site consisted of two 20 l bucket traps...

... captures. The N. scotius catch (9754 individuals) was 80% adult (stadium VIII) and peaked in October-December with only 23 captures in July-September. The Pogonosternum sp. catch (116 individuals) was 91% adult and peaked in September, with 40% of all captures in July-September. These results, together...

... new trapping techniques may be required for these taxa. The species composition of captures in this pipeline study differed substantially from the results from a larger section of this pipeline route constructed in 1994, possibly due to differences in season, habitats spanned, construction procedure...

... on freehold land. Each site was trapped from 1 - 4 nights for a total of 666 harp trap nights. Sites surveyed electronically were sampled between 1- 2 nights for a total of 230 samples of either 30 minutes duration or an entire night. A total of 18 species were captured in harp traps during the survey...

.... In terms of the historical traceability of the species in the wild, the shooting of the Mawbanna Thylacine, the first of only four evidentially supported specimens recovered during the 1930s, antedates the capture of the two Delphin juveniles by 55 and 83-89 days respectively, the male of which being...

...Gareth Linnard; Stephen R. Sleightholme ABSTRACT The last known captive Thylacine ( Thylacinus cynocephalus ) died at the Beaumaris Zoo on Hobart’s Queen’s Domain on the evening of Monday the 7 th September 1936. However, within six months of its death the date of its capture was being inaccurately...

... used summary data, mixed model regression and Chi-squared tests to examine variation in abundance, richness, and frequency in captures. A total of 167 species representing nine families were recorded from 9986 captures or observations (3127 records from pitfall traps, 1813 from funnel traps and 5046...

... and policy framework in which the trade operated, trappers, capture, handling and marketing methods, and capture tallies. Reasonably accurate capture tallies are available from 1974. From then until 1986, over 280 000 finches of eleven species were caught and sold. The number of trappers declined by 50...

... operated a program to remove C. porosus from the Katherine River since 1995. Between 1994 and 2004, 53 males and 1 female were captured. The mean size of captured crocodiles was 313.9 cm total length. Crocodiles were captured in all months between March and November. The month with the highest rate...

...David Milledge; Norman Graham; Jill Smith ABSTRACT A population of the Northern Long-nosed Potoroo Potorous tridactylus tridactylus in Tyagarah Nature Reserve on the far north coast of New South Wales was first recorded in 1985. In 1992, a cage-trapping study captured 15 individuals in the central...

... is recommended, and we used data collected over five years to assess whether the use of this array, with the addition of a central bucket (Pit B), results in more captures, particularly in the central bucket. A total of 263 sites representing 1052 bucket samples were examined and the differences in capture...
