... Sydney. Water levels in Thirlmere Lakes have fluctuated over time, but there has been a recent decline that is of significant concern. In this study, we examined over one year the species composition and richness of zooplankton (Rotifera, Cladocera and Copepoda) and abiotic conditions in Lakes...

... sites that are physically separated from dispersal and refuge habitat, it is important to understand the habitats used in natural and anthropogenic environments so that more effective conservation strategies can be formulated. From rags to riches and back again: fluctuations in the Green and Golden Bell...

... and Golden Bell Frog Litoria aurea - from riches to ruins: conservation of a formerly common species Ross L. Goldingay Department of Biological Sciences, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, New South Wales 2522.

... sampling is labour-intensive and attained sample size is often not large enough to detect all species present. Therefore, we applied integrated rarefaction and extrapolation sampling curves and asymptotic analysis to estimate species richness. We observed 103 species of rotifers, 29 species of cladocerans...

... are poorly understood. We pitfall-trapped ants in winter and spring over a twenty-two year period (1992–2013) in the Simpson Desert, central Australia. We asked: over what time-scale does ant activity (abundance and species richness) respond to climate (temperature and precipitation) and vegetation (plant...

... detected during systematic surveys and 22 reptile species during targeted diurnal searches and opportunistic sightings. The highest species richness and density of reptiles were recorded in the logged New England Hardwood and Gorge Red Gum forest types. The Moist Hardwood type, with a closed mid-canopy had...

... the Cape Range IBRA sub-region and marks the most westerly record of P. reginae for mainland Australia. This finding raises the terrestrial reptile species richness for the Cape Range peninsula to 90. Previous surveys in this area failed to detect P. reginae , which demonstrates the value of repeated...

...., species richness) for these urban greenspaces. Citizen science projects are continuously improving our understanding of ecology at broad temporal and spatial scales. But, many conservation-relevant decisions are idiosyncratic and made at small management scales (e.g., local government). Given a general...

... to the state government agencies, who recorded the wildlife data (now under the auspices of the Office of Environment and Heritage NSW). The fauna records supplied by FATS (and other natural history groups) documented a rich and diverse fauna in Wallingat SF that includes 26 frog species (including 1...

... of the Australian wet tropics, the vegetation traverses through tropical savanna into tropical rainforest over a relatively short distance. We investigated bird richness and abundance in this transition. Seventeen sites were sampled from lowland (350 m) to upland (1000 m) locations, comprising six zones. Birds were...

... allowing the evaluation of land management actions. Here we report on the first systematic fauna surveys conducted on Edgbaston Reserve between 2018 and 2020. Data were analysed to understand mammal, reptile and amphibian species composition, richness, and abundance in relation to six habitat types...

... and richness of reptiles in rock addition plots compared to controls. Our research highlights the importance of bushrock habitat, and the removal of such habitat may have far-reaching consequences. Conservation of reptiles in agricultural landscapes requires appropriate management and retention of bushrock. We...
