... surname. The correction was communicated before the Royal Society and published in the Proceedings (Gray 1874). Gray wrote Mr. Krefft, in the Society s Proceedings for 1873, p. 335, describes it under the name of Crocodilus johnsoni, and says it was discovered by Mr. Johnson; but in a letter to me...

Australian Zoologist 39(3):480-512. httpsdoi.org/10.7882/AZ.2017.011 In the printed version, Table 3 (page 487) and a short...

..., the python Aspidites ramsayi (Macleay, 1882) and the elapid snake Diemenia ferox Macleay, 1882, now Oxyuranus microlepidotus (McCoy, 1878). The type locality of the two snakes is corrected from “near Fort Bourke” to James Ramsay's then property Tyndayrey. Further evidence is provided for a link between...

... (“correction factor”) that relates the number of sightings to actual population size either remains constant, or the way in which it changes depending on environmental conditions is known. Actual counts, and not an index, are essential if harvesting policy is to be proactive, rather than simply reacting...

... assumes a greater importance. Associated with this is the requirement that the survey method used be consistent. If this is the case, as has been common practice, then the negative, but consistent bias of standard fixed-wing aerial surveys of kangaroos can be redressed through the use of correction...

... in spite of a lack of morphological differentiation or interfertility between Dingo and Domestic Dog hybrids. As a result, there is a need to review the taxonomy of the Dingo with the aim of confirming its correct scientific name in order to promote stability. Using the most widely accepted species...

... rufus, were relatively constant for eastern grey kangaroos M. giganteus and were highly variable for common wallaroos M. robustus . Nevertheless, medium-term population trends for the two kangaroo species were moderately well tracked. Currently, correction factors for fixed-wing surveys are applied...

..., ostriches, etc.). Standard correction factors have been applied throughout, except that, in the present paper, the data are recalculated to reflect the outcomes of this workshop concerning a move to modified correction factors. The results have highlighted the responsiveness of kangaroo populations...

... in these photographs, alongside recently discovered, unpublished comment by Burrell himself, indicating that the photographs were taken at Beaumaris Zoo, Hobart. While correcting some of Laird's comments on the Burrell photographs, the occasion is also taken to correct Laird's (1968) claim, that thylacine skins were...

...Peter B. Banks; Daniel Lunney; Martin Predavec ABSTRACT Dangerous ideas are those that challenge the status quo , ignore political correctness or, if followed, lead to an unsettling series of consequences (Pinker 2006). As practising zoologists, our ongoing concern relates to the long-term survival...

... management on a national and global scale. There is the risk that emphasizing the conservation of individual species diverts attention and resources (time, money, and people) from understanding and correcting the causes of species decline and extinction. This can leave species that are common to become...

... of Chinese coolies during an outbreak of beriberi. This research corrects and adds to the century-old and widely reported account of these extinctions, and places the introduction of R. rattus in a broader historical context. Australian Zoologist volume 37 (1)2014 1 Introduction The precise...

... and fixed-wing aircraft. Where mountainous or heavily wooded areas prevent aerial surveys, walked line transects are conducted. Experimental aerial surveys, conducted over three years from winter of 1998, aim to develop a new set of regional habitat correction factors to be applied to the results obtained...

... of the 1840's and include the first notes on the Noisy Scrub-bird, Atrichornis clamosus (Gould), and the Paradise Parrot, Psephotus pulcherrimus (Gould), derived from specimens which would later become the types of the species.

... out from the harbour foreshore by the direct effects of the plague and the indirect effects arising from rat persecution to prevent plague, making the arrival of bubonic plague in the 1900s a disaster for Sydney's foreshore wildlife. If this hypothesis is correct, then future attempts to restore Bush...
