...Ian R. C. Baird; Shelley Burgin ABSTRACT Understanding within-patch seasonal demographics of patchily distributed odonates is fundamental to understanding aspects of their behaviour, ecology, and landscape-scale population dynamics. Such knowledge underpins effective conservation management...

...Rohan J. Bilney; Peter J. Kambouris; Jess Peterie; Craig Dunne; Kelly Makeham; Rodney P. Kavanagh; Leroy Gonsalves; Brad Law ABSTRACT A population of Yellow-bellied Glider Petaurus australis on the Bago Plateau, on the NSW south-western slopes, was first surveyed across 126 sites in 1995...

...David Milledge; Norman Graham; Jill Smith ABSTRACT A population of the Northern Long-nosed Potoroo Potorous tridactylus tridactylus in Tyagarah Nature Reserve on the far north coast of New South Wales was first recorded in 1985. In 1992, a cage-trapping study captured 15 individuals in the central...

...Shawn Scott; Richard Biffin ABSTRACT The Pygmy Copperhead Austrelaps labialis is South Australia’s only endemic snake, being native to the Adelaide Mount Lofty Ranges and Fleurieu Peninsula; with an additional allopatric population on Kangaroo Island. Within the AMLR, it inhabits stringybark...

...Caroline J. Blackmore; Jennifer R. Ovenden; Toby P. Piddocke; Les Christidis ABSTRACT Failure to consider genetic structure in fish populations when collecting aquaculture broodstock can negatively affect fitness, and hence conservation and management goals. Here we used mitochondrial DNA from...

...George R Wilson; Melanie Edwards ABSTRACT Millions of kangaroos are dying in 2018 but without good conservation outcomes. Populations are crashing in drought and contributing to land degradation. Non-commercial culling is increasing because landholders seek to stop kangaroos from competing...

... as a result of endocrine disruption compounds (EDCs) have been reported. In response to the observation that the population of the bearded dragon Pogona barbata had crashed in peri-urban Western Sydney, we investigated the nature and extent of testis deformity. It was observed that individuals collected...

... and from March 2013 to March 2014 the species had declined in abundance and distribution. Most of the recorded breeding occurred in ephemeral wetlands: dispersal from these sites involved movements over highly modified rural and urban landscapes. Refuge sites populated outside the breeding events were...

...Alan Midgley; Shelley Burgin; Adrian Renshaw While presence/absence of endocrine disruption has been widely observed within polluted wetlands, relatively few data have addressed population level changes for any species. This paper investigated the effects of endocrine disruption on the phenotypic...

...Ross Goldingay; David Newell Estimates of population size are fundamental to the development of effective management of threatened species. We conducted a tagging study of a population of the endangered Green and Golden Bell Frog Litoria aurea at Port Kembla, on the New South Wales south coast...

...Leighton Llewellyn The Purple-spotted Gudgeon, Mogurnda adspersa , is widespread occurring in coastal drainages in northern NSW and Queensland, and an endangered western population in the Murray Darling System. This paper reports a study at the Inland Fisheries Research Station, Narrandera...

...Shelley Burgin I investigated whether exotic turtle species were capable of establishing breeding populations in the Sydney area and confirmed that two exotic species were present: Trachemys scripta elegans and Clemmys marmorata . Mature females of both species were recorded with shelled eggs...

... were sampled in a 0.1 ha farm dam for three days immediately prior to drainage and a population census was subsequently carried out. Fyke nets proved to be an effective method of sampling the population. During the sampling phase 78% of males (n = 11) and 81% of females (n = 21) were captured...

... availability. A synchronous count of Greyheaded Flying-foxes in New South Wales taken in July 1988 described the distribution and abundance of the species during a time of general food scarcity, but when abundant floral resources were available in restricted patches of coastal vegetation. The population...

...Ross Goldingay; David Newell Development of appropriate conservation programs for threatened species requires a basic understanding of their population ecology. We studied a population of the Green and golden bell frog Litoria aurea in the far north of its range. This population occupies a coastal...

...Peter Smith; Judy Smith The Koala population in Warringah Shire has declined over the last 50 years with increasing urbanization. Koalas were reported from various localities throughout the Shire in the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's. They now occur only at Barrenjoey Peninsula. Ku-ring-gai Chase...

...Tim Clark; Gary Backhouse; Robert Lacy A Population Viability Assessment (PVA) workshop was held in Melbourne in May, 1990, to demonstrate its potential to wildlife managers by applying PVA to six species of threatened wildlife in Victoria. The workshop ran for one week and involved 32 participants...

...Thea van de Mortel; Ross Goldingay The Green and Golden Bell Frog Litoria aurea has declined dramatically in distribution and abundance in NSW during the last 20 years. We describe the dynamics of the population found at Port Kembla near Wollongong, New South Wales during 1994-6. This population...
