... species of Cyclorana . Cyclorana are a genus of 14 burrowing frog species that occupy arid, semi-arid and monsoonal regions of Australia. We document a 188 km southerly range extension of Cyclorana cryptotis , and an 88 km northerly extension for Cyclorana maini ; both within the Davenport Murchison...

...Graham Pyke; Arthur White Populations of five frog species were monitored at three ponds utilized by the endangered Green and Golden Bell Frog Litoria aurea over a three year period 1993-1996. Litoria aurea bred at the two semi-permanent ponds with fluctuating water levels but did not breed...

... Australian frog species, the Green and Golden Bell Frog Litoria aurea and the Striped Marsh Frog Limnodynastes peronii , it has been suspected that there are negative chemical interactions between the tadpoles of these two species, and that management of the former species, which is considered ‘threatened...

... due to gaps in knowledge. Following the devastating 2019/20 mega-fires across the east coast of Australia, a major effort to combine complementary conservation approaches to monitor and recover populations of threatened amphibians was mobilised. For one species, the cryptic Littlejohn's tree frog...

...Garry Daly; Philip Craven; Jeff Bryant; Michael Smith; Rachel Melrose; Michael Mahony ABSTRACT Replicated systematic nocturnal searches were conducted along creeks for the endangered Watson's Tree Frog Litoria watsoni located in heath and woodland at or above 90m AHD on the south coast of New South...

...Garry Daly; Jeff Bryant; Chris Senior; Sophia Muller Sewell; Michael Smith; Michael Mahony ABSTRACT Systematic (time constrained) and targeted surveys were conducted for the Green and Golden Bell Frog Litoria aurea from 2016-2022 on the Crookhaven River - Shoalhaven River floodplains, on the south...

...Graham H. Pyke; Arthur W. White ABSTRACT As amphibians have declined more than other vertebrates and are important environmental bio-indicators for aquatic ecosystems, we must understand how attributes of such ecosystems affect individual frogs, populations, and multi-species communities...

...G. Madani ABSTRACT Australian anurans generally display little prey specialisation. Most data available of frog diet is limited to stomach content and faecal analysis with few direct observations of prey capture. Limited information is available on the diet of adult Giant Barred Frogs Mixophyes...

...Garry Daly ABSTRACT Surveys were conducted for the Giant Burrowing Frog Heleioporus australiacus within 50 km of Nowra, on the south coast of New South Wales using a variety of methods. Thirty-eight 250 m transects were surveyed at night for 30 min each and 0–12 adult frogs were detected during...

...A.W. White; S. Travers ABSTRACT The long-term impacts of mining on frog communities have received scant attention in published literature. This study presents a 38-year survey of two sites bordering a sand mine at Bridge Hill in the Myall Lakes National Park, New South Wales (NSW). Mining occurred...

... classes in the endangered green and golden bell frog Litoria aurea , a species which has had several failed management programs. We found aquatic vegetation was selected for by every L. aurea class, and should be the focus of future management plans for this species. Females were the only class to select...

...Nicole Hansen; Kirsten Crosby The endangered Booroolong Frog Litoria booroolongensis has undergone dramatic declines over the majority of its range, which have largely been attributed to extensive clearing and ongoing modification associated with agricultural practices, disease and introduced pests...

...Sally Koehler; Daniel Gilmore; David Newell Translocation is occasionally suggested as a last resort strategy for dealing with ‘unavoidable’ loss of Growling Grass Frog Litoria raniformis habitat in urbanising landscapes. However, examples of attempts to translocate an entire population of L...

...Garry Daly Systematic (time constrained) and targeted surveys were conducted from 1996-2014 for the green and golden bell frog Litoria aurea on the Crookhaven River floodplain, east of Nowra on the south coast of New South Wales. In April 2008, a large number of metamorphlings were observed...

...Aaron Payne In coastal New South Wales most frog species are observed calling and breeding in the warmer months of the year. One exception to this is the Jervis Bay Tree Frog Litoria jervisiensis, which displays a preference for calling and breeding in the cooler months of the year. There are some...

... for consumption. We determined the effect of raising striped marsh frog ( Limnodynastes peronii ) tadpoles in isolation by comparing larval growth, size at metamorphosis and jumping distance at metamorphosis between full siblings raised in isolation, at low density and at high density. As expected, tadpoles...

...Ross Goldingay; David Newell Estimates of population size are fundamental to the development of effective management of threatened species. We conducted a tagging study of a population of the endangered Green and Golden Bell Frog Litoria aurea at Port Kembla, on the New South Wales south coast...

...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...

...Valérie Boll The research presented here focused on the ethnozoology of frogs as viewed by two Aboriginal communities: Gängan and Gapuwiyak, which are both located in north-east Arnhem Land (Yolngu territory), Northern Territory. The aim of this research was to record traditional Aboriginal...
