Search Results for rarity

... caught, they were recorded by Anabat detectors at two sites, one at Moira Lakes Flora Reserve and one on the Murray River at Barmah Bridge. These records were within 7 km of each other and near a previous record on the Murray River (Hoye 1995). Despite the rarity of M. macropus in these forests, high...

... discuss the rarity of recording such predation events and highlight the lack of knowledge about the diet of many of our small Australian elapid species. This observation contributes to the broader knowledge of predator-prey relationships and is significant as it is the first evidence of A. parapulchella...

... from active searching). Our results indicated that different methods were more appropriate depending on taxa (i.e., pitfall trapping for terrestrial skinks, funnel traps for Elapids), its habit (i.e., pitfalls or active searching for fossorial species, active searching for arboreal species) or rarity...

...David Lindenmayer ABSTRACT Long-term ecological research and monitoring is a critical activity that has multiple important values for research, policy and management. Yet long-term studies are not particularly common. A range of factors contributes to this relative rarity and make it hard...

... of much of the habitat surveyed, few Broad-headed Snakes were detected and in only four of the reserves. This confirms the rarity of this species and suggests that apparent habitat suitability within conservation reserves is an inadequate basis on which to conclude that a species may be reasonably...

..., extending from Cape York in northern Queensland to southern New South Wales near the Victorian border (Lunney and Barker, 1986). In view of the apparent rarity of the species and the paucity of data on its biology, a bioclimatic prediction system (BIOCLIM) was used to investigate the following: 1. where P...

... was listed as Endangered in NSW on the basis of its rarity and risk of extinction (DEC 2004). Nationally it has been given Data Deficient status (Duncan et al. 1999) and internationally it has not been assigned a threat category in the most recent IUCN redlist (2011.1).Recent genetic investigations suggest...

... with their density in other areas (Catling and Burt 1995) where Spotted-tailed Quolls have declined (Lunney and Leary 1988; Maxwell et al. 1996; Belcher 2004). Thus, the rarity of foxes in Marengo and Chaelundi State Forests may be a major factor contributing to the abundance of quolls. The relatively high numbers...

.... As this species in Nadgee Nature Reserve was not considered difficult to trap in cage traps (Lunney, pers. observ the failure to trap it in Mumbulla State Forest was taken as a reflection of its rarity. Further confirmation of its presence in the district comes from Rose (1981), who caught one in 1980 near...

...%. Nevertheless, the species is considered to be of conservation concern in both Victoria and Tasmania. It is currently listed as endangered in the Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988, on the basis of rarity and demonstrable decline (Seebeck et al. 1996), and as endangered in the Tasmanian Threatened...

... probability but high consequences are perceived as more threatening than more probable risks with low or medium consequences. This phenomenon arguably underpins a large proportion of news coverage communicating risk. Stories which focus on the rarity or the exceptional nature of a hazard are deemed more...
