... of granivores, including the Crimson Rosella Platycercus elegans , and frugivores, especially the Mistletoebird Dicaeum hirundinaceum , the latter reflecting the loss of mistletoes in fire-affected landscapes, and foreshadowing additional losses due to the reliance on mistletoe by many species. Another group...

...Matthew Mo; David Waterhouse Once seen in flocks of thousands, the 20th Century was a testing period for the Topknot Pigeon Lopholaimus antarcticus . Bountiful numbers of this frugivorous bird relied on large expanses of habitat to provide a steady supply of fruiting trees. The Illawarra...

... resources for migratory and nomadic nectivorous and frugivorous bids and fruit-bats, and insectivorous bids. This function together with the 41 endangered and other significant vertebrate species present, and the area's biogeographical significance, make coastal Byron Shire of regional, state and national...

... associated with rainforest, open woodlands and forests (e.g. Spectacled Monarch, Rose-crowned Fruit-dove, Variegated Fairy-wren, White-throated Honeyeater). There was some pattern in the guilds with granivores and frugivores being relatively more abundant in dune vegetation and foliage insectivore...

... is relatively shorter (see Figure 5). The cheek teeth are heavier in P. banakrisi than in P. alecto, especially M2, P3, P4, M1, M2, M3, P3 and P4, and are similar in size to the frugivorous P. conspicillatus. P1 is very small and is virtually indistinct when the gum is intact. The surface of the upper rostral...

... frequently they associate with the dung of seed dispersing birds. A larger sample size of the southern cassowary would be helpful, and it would be interesting to also include the dwarf cassowary (Casuarius bennetti) and northern cassowary (Casuarius unappendiculatus) as well as other heavily frugivorous...

... (Appel et al. 2017). Similarly, visually-oriented, frugivorous and nectarivorous species are generally more active on bright nights, when they appear to be more efficient at detecting fruits and flowers (Riek et al. 2010), which could also apply to P. poliocephalus ability to find large insects...

... requirements, since their needs are often quite different from those of other Aust- ralian mammals. However, information that has been recently obtained shows that the bat community that utilizes rainforest is uniquely specialized and some frugivorous species appear to be closely involved in the regeneration...

... a suite of frugivorous bird species, including the threatened Wompoo Fruit-dove Ptilinopus magnificus, Rose-crowned Fruit-dove and Barred Cuckoo-shrike Coracina lineata (recorded in the study area) and the Superb Fruit-dove P. superbus (recorded within 1 km of the study area) (Appendix 2). Fruiting...

... effects. Myrtaceae flowers of all genera are typically significant nectar and pollen sources. Species of fruit bats (flying foxes), are generalist nectarivores and frugivores, but plants of the Myrtaceae family, because of their abundance, are a key resource. All mammals utilising Myrtaceae foliage...

... (e.g. Sericornis, Acanthiza Gerygone), that forage on the ground and in the shrub layer, and an increase in frugivorous species (e.g. Topknot Pigeon, Victoria s Riflebird) associated with an increase in rainforest plant species. In the more savanna sites, there were a greater number of species...

... of orders. Unlike its predecessor, Carnivorous marsupials, which was restricted to Australian fauna, the present volume includes all three extant orders of American marsupials (Didelphimorphia, Paucituberculata, Microbiotheria), although many species are predominantly frugivores as stated in the book itself...

... = 2). Two snakes were closely associated with fruit-bearing trees (one in the branches, one beneath the tree on the ground), possibly reflecting selection of ambush sites for frugivorous birds or mammals (as has been suggested for M. oenpelliensis: Barker and Barker 1994). One snake was rescued from...

... is short. I t is reasonable to interpret this as evidence of descent from a frugivorous and/or insectivorcus ancestor. There is much evidence for a common evolutionary origin of Hypsiprymnodon and the Potoroinae but where the origin is to be found among the diprotodonts remains uncertain. Within...

... within existing national parks, but 50 species (24%) may need special management because of their large size, small populations, frugivorous habits, or because they were migratory. Franklin (in press) analysed historical trends of granivores in northern Australia and concluded that there have been...

... (IUCN 1994; Lunney et al. 1996). Grey-headed Flying-foxes Ptempw poliocephlus are large (600-900 g), nectarivorous and frugivorous bats which are endemic to eastern Australia (Tidemann 1995). They feed in canopy vegetation and have a diverse diet comprising 54 species of flowers, primarily from...
