... of avifauna in the Tapitallee area between 1926–40 and 1985–2020. During that time there have been changes in the distribution and abundance of many birds. Fourteen species have become locally extinct while 28 have colonised/recolonised the area. Combining Aubrey’s and our data a total of 194 species of bird...

... , Pseudophryne bibroni ). Changes in species abundance were driven by changes in pH, salinity and emergent plant cover at both sites as a direct consequence of mining disturbance. The frog populations at the dunal pond and swamp site became more stable 20 years after the cessation of mining, but neither site has...

... of each of the habitats throughout Sydney Harbour is patchy but within the marine dominated sections of natural rocky shores, they are widespread. All habitats supported unique species of polychaetes and overall assemblages differed among the habitats. Loss of biogenic habitats due to climate change...

... sampled four times between 2006–2007. 125 species of birds representing 38 families were recorded. The pattern of abundance and richness along this gradient was characterised by second-order polynomial relationships. The nadir was where change in vegetation was most rapid; low open woodlands to dry open...

...Alan Midgley; Shelley Burgin; Adrian Renshaw While presence/absence of endocrine disruption has been widely observed within polluted wetlands, relatively few data have addressed population level changes for any species. This paper investigated the effects of endocrine disruption on the phenotypic...

...Murray Ellis; Jennifer Taylor Loss and fragmentation of the native vegetation of the Central Western Plains of New South Wales was followed by declines of woodland-dependent species. Drought is likely to have further suppressed many animal populations. Here we report on changes in woodland bird...

... of wing bones when they were exposed to elevated flight-induced strains. Bone apposition was predicted to occur at the periosteal surface as this is the most biomechanically relevant site for increasing bone stiffness and strength. The relative Histomorphometric changes in the wing bones of the fruit bat...

...Rufus Wells Phosphate compounds in the red blood cells of vertebrates play an important role in modulating haemoglobin function whereby tissue oxygenation is maintained despite changes in both environmental oxygen supply and metabolic demand. Three examples from Gordon Grigg's work on aquatic...

It is important that the number of shorebirds using NSW estuaries is monitored to identify any changes in population size...
