... identified the excretory organs (nephridia) and their openings, although he erroneously assigned them to a dual role of excretion and respiration. Moreover, he highlighted the importance of the position of the genital opening as a diagnostic character, described the ventral/preventral organs...

... a recently dead H. czeblukovi specimen. This extends the species geographical range by approximately 300 kilometres southwest (minimum seaward distance). The stranding likely arose from the persistent onshore winds observed prior to the discovery or from self-stranding due to illness. This discovery brings...

... taxonomic knowledge fulfills a practical need by providing a valuable identification tool for amateurs and the general public. The objective of NudiKey is to summarise the essential diagnostic characteristics of the epibenthic Australian heterobranch families and, using the freely available Lucid v3.3...

... in xylene and mounted under cover slips in xam (Merck, Kilsyth, Victoria) on microscope slides. These slides were examined under a light microscope at x 10 and x40 using an eye-piece micrometer as reference for each species' identification. Tun (1993) provided a complete description of the diagnostic...

... they are likely to be found. And it is a job well done! To start there are multiple comprehensive and meticulous diagnostic keys. One provided for the family level and additional keys to all the genera, down to species level where more than one representative from each genus is known to occur in Queensland...

... the conservation of introduced bell frogs in New Zealand. Although Leiopelma are totally protected species in New Zealand, bell frog tadpoles are commonly sold as pets and are regularly moved between North and South Islands. Advocacy for indigenous frogs relies heavily on previous exposure to the more charismatic...

... on display. This research has resulted in the discovery and identification of a later thylacine arrival at the zoo, the endling of the species: an aged, adult female, whose body was indeed forwarded to the museum upon her death, and preserved therein; and we explain why no contemporary details...

...Trent Penman; Francis Lemckert; Chris Slade; Michael Mahony Non-breeding habitats are an important, yet poorly understood component of the habitat requirements of most frog species. As a result, non-breeding habitats may be poorly protected and their loss may be the proximate cause of decline...

... as reasons: I am confident that no better account of drawings of a tadpole and its mouth disc (an important a regional frog fauna has ever been published. In diagnostic feature) and a distribution map. part, certainly, this reflects the development of the Just under three-quarters of the book is occupied...

...Garry Daly; Philip Craven We monitored a population of Stuttering Frog Mixophyes balbus tadpoles in Macquarie Pass National Park near Albion Park on the south coast of New South Wales. The species was initially detected by the presence of tadpoles at one site in 2000. Surveys thereafter were...

... to the Fawn Hopping-mouse (N. cerumur) due to the groove on the front of the incisors. This feature, in combination with the shape of the anterior palatal foramina, is described by Watts and Aslin (1981) as being diagnostic of the species. The only other species with such a groove is the Big-eared Hopping...

... in the literature. Diagnostic keys in Churchill (1998) now allow for identification of the various undescribed forms. Recent surveys in western New South Wales (Ellis and Wilson 1992, Smith et al. 1998, Mazzer et al. 1998) recorded the two undescribed species currently included in Mormopterus planiceps and listed...

... the others for dead in the daunting scope of the project. While insects make up 75% of animal species on Earth, over 40% of insects are beetles. About 20 000 species of beetles have been described from Australia, which in reality represents only the tip of the iceberg. The earlier chapters deal...

...Stephen Zozaya; Conrad Hoskin The Magnificent Broodfrog Pseudophryne covacevichae Ingram and Corben 1994 is a Vulnerable frog species that was believed to be highly localised in the Ravenshoe region of the southern Atherton Tableland, north Queensland. Here we extend the known range of P...

These diseases cause devastating health, social and economic consequences to more than one billion people (NIH 2022).

... metamorphosed frogs were observed during the late summer survey in 2003. Litoria aurea bred in brackish water having a salinity of 3 parts per thousand and existed within an environment that contained marine species of fish. A subset of three sites was resurveyed in November 2003 and February 2004 and 2007...

... uncommon, but the occurrence of this species up a river is not without precedent. The type specimen was found stranded about 32 km up a small river in Burma (Anderson 1878). Since then, there have been several incidences of Bryde's Whales in rivers and estuaries around the world. In Australia, a young male...

... that there is a high degree of overlap in forearm length and weight. Conversely the eadength seems to be a significant diagnostic feature with no overlap and should be routinely measured and used in identification of potential species difference. Accurate distribution data are a primary step when developing recovery...
