The complex nomenclatural history of this species is discussed. Multivariate analysis of variation in external...

Therefore, this technique may only be feasible for studies of close range morphology or where parameters that can not otherwise be easily obtained, such as surface area and contours, are required. fauna digging morphology beeswax casting Varanus sp. casting digital modelling photogrammetry...

...-eastern Australia. The available evidence shows that this introgression has minimal effects on the functional morphology of the dingo skull. There is also some preliminary evidence that introgression has not had a major impact on dingo reproductive biology. Studies on the impacts of dingoes on arid...

... in extreme and marginal environments, with a particular focus on mangrove habitats due to their natural fluctuations in temperature, pH and oxygen, analogous to those projected under climate change models. The changes in coral skeletal morphology under stress are described as are the techniques used...

... proliferated and spread there much more than the notoriously invasive red-eared slider turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans . The E. macquarii population of the Sydney region is highly diverse morphologically, with individuals variously resembling E. macquarii from Queensland, the north coast of New South Wales...

...Denis A Saunders; Geoffrey Pickup ABSTRACT Our review of the taxonomy of Australia’s endemic Calyptorhynchinae black cockatoos based on morphology, ecology, biology, vocalisations, distributions, and genetic studies concluded that they constitute two genera; those with red subterminal tail bands...

...James Knight; Thomas Trnski The developmental ontogeny and morphology of the eggs, larvae and early juveniles of the endangered Nannoperca oxleyana is described based on collections of preserved wild fish, and preserved and live captive specimens reared at 25 ± 1° C. Eggs are telolecithal...

... regarding its taxonomy and evolution. The species Devriesetettix dorreus Tumbrinck, 2014a is found to be a probable close relative of T. reliqua but their evolutionary history remains a mystery. Both species do not possess the morphology that would allow them to be classified under Cladonotinae but without...

While many traits have evolved among amphibians to avoid climatic extremes and likely confer...

...S. A. Thomson; M. J. Littlejohn; W. A. Robinson; W. S. Osborne The Southern Tablelands populations of the Litoria aurea complex were studied to determine the status of each taxon. Examination of colour-pattern, morphology and advertisement calls was used to determine the extent of variation present...

There is abundant evidence that native prey species on mainland Australia recognise and respond to them as a dangerous predator, which they are. But there is strong...

Furthermore, we provide morphological and ecological data and discuss this record in the contexts of geographic variation and the high number of isolated reptile populations and endemism seen on the Cape Range peninsula. * Corresponding...

.... This resulted in a detailed account of the anatomy of Peripatopsis capensis. Sänger’s description of the extensive slime glands was the first to recognise them as the hallmark of onychophorans for defence and prey capture, and not the male reproductive system as previously claimed. Based on these morphological...

As a result, there is a need to review the taxonomy of the Dingo with the aim of confirming its correct scientific name in order to promote stability. Using the most widely accepted species...

These observations suggest that M. iteratus are opportunistic, ambush predators with a broad diet. Their morphology and hunting behaviour align with existing models of amphibian foraging...
