...L. Llewellyn Length - weight relationships for 29 fish species occurring in the Murray-Darling River System in inland NSW were determined using data collected principally between 1957 and 1970. In Golden Perch Macquaria ambigua , this relationship is examined with regard to locality, year and sex...

... 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...

... relationships were found between dingo management, dingo activity and fox activity. Dingoes appeared to suppress fox activity where dingoes were uncontrolled or only opportunistically controlled. At sites where dingoes were absent or in low numbers, fox activity was higher, and this inverse relationship...

...) and a simplistic handling of the complex evolutionary relationship between wolves, dingoes and domestic dogs. I explore the relationship of dingoes to village dogs, modern breed dogs and wolves using genome-wide SNP data and discuss the implications of these findings to the ongoing debate about dingo identity...

... forest age, structural complexity, local food tree species diversity, history of prior koala occurrence and decreased past logging intensity. This relationship was driven primarily by breeding females, with the number of male koala calls weakly or uncorrelated with koala sightings and mapped habitat...

...Holly S. Bradley; Damien Hirsh; Damian Lettoof ABSTRACT Despite being a hotspot for reptile diversity, there is a chronic knowledge gap surrounding the ecology of Australian reptiles. Understanding the complex interactions between species, such as predator-prey relationships, can be key to informed...

...Claire E Rowe; Shane T Ahyong ABSTRACT Jellyfish populations experience fluctuations referred to as ‘bloom and busts’, with numbers rapidly increasing followed by their sudden disappearance. When jellyfish numbers are blooming, they have a complicated relationship with their surrounding environment...

...Jill Bough Our complex and contradictory relationships with animals is demonstrated in our relationships with donkeys Equus asinus . The Australian context exemplifies these conflicting attitudes: once exploited as a beast of burden in the Outback in colonial times, the donkey has since been...

... ) in suppressing Red Fox ( Vulpes vulpes ) populations in Australia has been investigated, with various data tending to show an inverse relationship between densities of the two species (e.g. Letnic et al. 2012; Johnson and VanDerWal 2009). There are very few examples in the literature where direct killing...

... on the relationship between the two Australian species, D. lumholtzi and D. bennettianus. In light of this uncertainty, we undertook a phylogenetics study based on 430 bp of sequence from the mitochondrial DNA gene cytochrome b (cyt b ). Samples were collected from D. lumholtzi (n = 45) and D. bennettianus (n = 3...

... and the relationships between the groups was not published when supplementary material was not produced with the book. To prevent the loss of this information, which is important for applying the results of this study to other situations, the assignment of species to broad management groups and assemblages is now...

... to be a sibling species of N. bifax . The inter-specific relationships of these taxa are evaluated. A major species group is recognised, consisting of major Gray, 1844 and N. corbeni sp. nov. , while sherrini Thomas, 1915 is placed in a gouldi group. The relationships of N. shirleyae from Papua New Guinea remain...

.... For aquatic-breeding frogs, pond physical/chemical properties influence all life-stages and therefore populations, species, and communities. However, studies have focussed on tadpoles, considered few water variables, and not considered relationships between water attributes and frog populations or communities...

...%), historical material (53%). and book reviews (50%). Clearly, the relationship between survival of animals in the wild and conservation and management of populations and habitats is recognized by readers. The relationship between zoological science and society is now probably better recognized than it ever has...

... of plant/pollinator relationships result in further decline of ecosystem diversity? The spatial and temporal distribution of resources in rainforest is reviewed, and the patterns of resource availability suggest that generalist rather than specialist plant-pollinator relationships will be more common...
