...Matthew Mo; Robert Oliver ABSTRACT Although the ultimate goal of wildlife rehabilitation is to return animals to the wild, some are permanently unable to be released. Some non-releasable animals may be suitable for permanent care. The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has the statutory...

...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...

..., incubation of eggs and fledging of young into account, waterbirds need 5 to 10 months inundation under nest trees to complete breeding. Most Darters, cormorants, herons, egrets, Australian White Ibis and spoonbills nested at wetlands which retained water permanently in their deeper, open areas. In contrast...

...Francis Lemckert; Gordon Grigg We recorded the calling activity of frogs at a permanent pond 80 km south of Sydney between 1987 and 1989, documenting the calling seasons of five species and relating calling activity (within calling seasons) to temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and rainfall...

... and tend to impact more upon women and children. It is estimated that every year almost 500,000 people are maimed, permanently injured, or disabled by snakebite envenoming. The WHO has set a roadmap for the prevention, reduction, and control of snakebite envenoming, aiming to reduce snakebite deaths...

... of the biota. Ongoing long-term monitoring at a large number of permanent field sites for up to 25 years prior to the fire, together with 10 years of post-fire monitoring, has provided an unparalleled series of datasets on mammal, bird, and plant responses on burned and unburned sites. The empirical studies...

... ineffective in permanently removing flying-foxes from a camp. The case study also highlights the importance of understanding the social and political context of flying-fox camp management, in addition to flying-fox ecology. * Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Camp...

... of predators (domestic cats and foxes) at all sites. Rats rapidly investigated the log piles (mean time to first rat observation ± SE: 27.25 ± 14.34 days), but were only recorded intermittently over the monitoring period, suggesting that they did not permanently inhabit the sites. Our results suggest...

... to engineered concrete channels. Whether the absence of crabs in urban channels is due to increased predation from fish present in the permanent water (including noxious Oreochromis mossambicus ), water chemistry differences, increased competition for food and shelter, or simply because this species cannot...

... along the coast and hinterland. The species is usually associated with stationary water bodies, mostly permanent, in both forested and cleared habitats. The species has also been found in a range of terrestrial habitats, often considerable distances from waterbodies; suggesting a high dispersive ability...

... varied greatly regarding ease of handling, aggression, odour, property damaging behaviour and fecundity. Management history of individual animals affected responses: quolls kept as house pets (rather than permanently caged) elicited the most positive responses on the suitability of quolls as pets...

... was recorded at a total of 40 separate localities, which were associated mainly with rocky habitats close to permanent water. Preliminary scat analysis indicated that the species is primarily insectivorous, with small mammals consumed only where abundant. Populations of this species on flatland and coastal...

... lagoon within Yuraygir National Park. Permanent tagging of frogs was conducted between August 1998 and March 2003. Population estimation based on the mark and recapture of frogs in 1998-99 suggested that the population contained at least 100 adult male frogs. Approximately 75 male bell frogs called from...

... of the tadpoles they attacked than did the fed fish. Field surveys were carried out on 10 permanent water bodies in north-west Sydney to examine any correlation between the abundance of G. holbrooki and frog species richness or abundance. The most abundant species was C. signifera . Regression analysis showed...

... the permanent tagging of individuals have revealed substantial variation in the size of populations but further research is needed to relate population size to viability. Two major threatening processes (habitat loss and predation by exotic fish) were implicated in 1996 in the decline of the Green and Golden...

... a permanent population became more apparent with monitoring; at Botany, young bell frogs failed to survive the winter because of inadequate or inappropriate over-winter habitat being available; at Long Reef, foraging and breeding habitat were inadequate; at Marrickville, urban predators and disease eliminated...
