... the ShuRoo manufacturer’s claims and do not modify their driving behaviour to match the context. Rather than retro-fitting an ill-conceived device like the ShuRoo, an integrated, inter-disciplinary approach is needed to resolve the pervasive problem of macropod-vehicle collisions. Roo the day: evaluating...

... Journal of Zoology, London 257 207 218 Lunney D, Barker J and Priddel D. 1985. Movements and day roosts of the chocolate wattled bat Chalinolobus morio (Gray) (Microchiroptera: Vespertilionidae) in a logged forest. Australian Mammalogy 8: 313-317. Movements and day roosts of the chocolate...

... python eating an adult Rufous owl ( Ninox rufa ) in a tree at the base of a sandstone scarp. While this species is generally observed at night, other sightings such as this one occurred during the day, suggesting that this species may not be wholly nocturnal but also able to hunt and disperse during...

... were of two eggs, none of which produced two fledglings. The incubation period was 29 days, similar to that of other species of black cockatoo with similar body mass. The nestling period was 80-84 days, nearly 17% longer than the similarly-sized Carnaby's Cockatoo C. latirostris . The ages of nestling...

... Flying-fox to enable identification of temperature-humidity thresholds for safe interventions. After four summers, only a single day of extreme heat has occurred, during which flying-foxes unusually roosted away from both treatment sites and the control site. Preliminary findings are promising...

...Chris Williams; Richard Shine ABSTRACT An adult Diamond Python ( Morelia spilota ) was translocated 400 m after being found in a backyard in suburban Sydney. The snake returned to the capture site within three days, at which time a clutch of eggs was discovered nearby. When the clutch...

... at two wetland sites in Western Australia resulted in the successful location of 10 live turtles and 26 nests, with the WDD actively searching for 36.17 hours. Limitations during the odour learning and training phase, such as the absence of crucial nest odours and challenges during mass-nesting days, may...

.... 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...

...Gerry Swan; Steve Wilson A fire through hummock grassland in Western Queensland adjacent to a gas pipeline trench resulted in a 650% increase in the number of animals that were recovered from the trench in the seven days following the fire compared to the seven days prior. Those lizard species...

..., and reached a maximum number at the sixth recording, nine days after the first recording. The frequency of use of particular syllables varied markedly, it was common for some syllables to be used as repeats, particular heterogeneous syllable couplets were commonly used as alternations, and the sequence...

..., translucent larvae become pale green within two days of hatching and then light brown during the preflexion and postflexion stages. Juveniles are typically light brown laterally, darker dorsally and have a silvery-white belly. Growth of live, captive larvae and juveniles up to 6-months post hatching...

... intended to provide refuge habitat to small mammals and were monitored for 123 days using motion-sensitive cameras. Rat activity was positively associated with sites that had the log piles added, with no rat activity recorded at any of the control sites (without log piles), despite the presence...

... population density and group size was observed. The higher population density at the developed site is likely to be due to increased resources and restricted dispersal. Kangaroos in developed environments may be active earlier in the day in response to human activity occurring later in the day...

... collected from 509 sites between 2000 and 2012 in Queensland's tropical savannas to examine the relative success of trapping versus searching for surveying reptiles. Sampling comprised pitfall and funnel trapping, and diurnal and nocturnal active searching within a 1-ha quadrat over a five-day period. We...

... (2%) or traps covered in hessian (9%). Flagging and time of day had no effect on the likelihood of disturbance. It is probable that trap-raiding birds may have associated plastic with scavenged foods from nearby picnic areas and sources of rubbish. We suggest that hessian provides a reasonable...

... recorded using an automated cassette recorder switched on for 10 seconds approximately every 15 minutes. To assess the effects of micrometeorology on calling I compared the mean hourly calling activity with air temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, rainfall and wind intensity with time of day as a co...

...Vanessa Barratt; Fabien Medvecky ABSTRACT Australia’s 20,000+ wildlife volunteers rescue and rehabilitate native animals. They respond to hundreds of phone calls and enquiries every day, mostly from members of the public, seeking help and advice about injured, orphaned, nuisance or unusual wildlife...
