...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...

...Geoffrey Smith; Roderick Fensham; Daniel Ferguson; Luke Hogan; Michael Mathieson Fauna assemblages were assessed within four primary vegetation types and three edge types between grassland and wooded habitats within the Bunya Mountains of eastern Australia. Wet rainforests differed in their species...

... in the Derrimut Grasslands Reserve, Victoria: Their contents were examined and the invertebrate remains identified to the level of order. Invertebrate prey availability was estimated using samples collected from pitfall traps and dielary specialization was calculated using Levins (1968) standardized measure 01...

... in south-west Queensland, most notable for the presence of the night parrot Pezoporus occidentalis . We conducted two fauna surveys over 22 sites representing Spinifex grasslands, and Mitchell and Chenopod grassland habitats in 2018 and 2019, using pitfall, funnel and Elliott traps, and active searching...

...A.S. Kutt The Spinifexbird Eremiornis carteri is an inland species exclusively associated with mature Triodia spp. grasslands. Despite its wide distribution throughout arid and semi-arid Australia, a history of range expansion and contraction, and concentration into a number of core population...

... have been recorded in the area. Dams have been constructed and native vegetation has regrown on the steeper slopes. These actions have expanded the habitat for aquatic and forest dependant species but disadvantaged those that occupy grasslands. The Red Fox Vulpes vulpes colonised the area in 1907...

... bucket). Increased captures may have some relationship to habitat type (i.e. small mammals more abundant in grassland habitat). Though this particular array has some benefits in increasing trap success, the use of multiple survey techniques is recommended for any thorough fauna inventory. fauna...

... access to preferred grasses may be reduced. By contrast, in the subnivean space, because of the shelter provided by the cover of snow, M. fuscus can build temporary above-ground grass nests and concentrate its foraging in areas of grassland which, in summer, provide no cover from predators. The fact...

...Klaus Henle During two herpetofaunal surveys in February and March 1985 27 species of amphibians and reptiles were found in Yathong Nature Reserve. Mallee sandridges were richer in number of specimens than mallee on flat sandy soil. Open grassland, strongly influenced by former landuse, was less...

Stipiturus malachurus were more common in reedy ( Baumea sp.) areas where their unique foraging behaviour may increase foraging efficiency. The remaining two species had some differences in habitat use, but foraged at significantly different...

... localities are reported, including range extensions to central Queensland. Habitat for the species varies from chenopod to spinifex grasslands, Melaleuca woodlands and open savanna Eucalyptus woodlands, ranging from tropical coastal esplanades to sub-tropical rangelands. Trap localities encompass altitude...
