... on scat counts) within the Mountain Ash forests of the Victorian Central Highlands? We surveyed 86 long-term field sites and detected a total of 245 groups of Sambar Deer pellets on 42% of these sites. Negative binomial regression modelling identified three factors associated with the occurrence of deer...

...Allen Keast Times of occurrence and abundances of five Palearctic, and one New Zealand, migratory waders in Botany Bay over the period 1942 to 1966, are documented from Arnold McGill's unique data set. The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper occurred from early September to the end of February; Red-necked Stint...

... for representing pre-existing occurrence records of priority species at sites that differed in mapped fire severity classes as based on Fire Extent and Severity data available from public sources. We also surveyed unburnt sites for comparative purposes. We found that nearly all survey sites encompassed a patchwork...

...Bruce C. Chessman ABSTRACT Many freshwater turtle species have spread beyond their natural distributions through human agency, but introduced populations can be difficult to differentiate from natural ones. The occurrence of an Australian freshwater turtle, Emydura macquarii , in the Greater Sydney...

...N. Koch; S.A. Munks; M. Utesch; P.E. Davies; P.D. McIntosh This study examined the occurrence, relative abundance and condition of platypuses in the upper catchment of the South Esk River, in north-east Tasmania, Australia, and the impact of past forestry activities on the occurrence of platypuses...

Stingrays were observed more often than other species and the occurrence of seals was correlated with the presence of baitfish. The continuous coverage allowed the observation of foraging behaviour...

... this location in 2013 to determine whether the species still persisted in NSW and, if so, to document the extent of its distribution and its management requirements. The species was found at four of the 37 locations surveyed. These enclosed an area of 47.2 km 2 (extent of occurrence) with 12.5 km 2 of potential...

...Greg Gordon; Frances Hrdina; Ross Patterson We assessed decline in the distribution of P. cinereus in Queensland over the last century using historical data from P. cinereus surveys and the Queensland State Archives to measure change in extent of occurrence and area of occupancy. Broad distribution...

... Wales. Thirteen sites were surveyed in spring from 2001-2023. Breeding activity, including the occurrence of calling males, tadpoles, spawn and amplecting pairs was detected at 12 of the 13 surveyed sites. Within the duration of the surveys the south coast region experienced two major droughts, two...

The detected prevalence of Angiostrongylus spp. suggests an increasing occurrence in this natural system. These data provide valuable...
