...Bradley Law; Jason Anderson During March 1997 we surveyed for Myotis macropus at 18 water bodies along the Murray River in River Red Gum Eucalyptus camaldulensis forests in the Millewa and Perricoota/Koondrook State Forests, using Anabat II detectors and harp-traps. Although no M. macropus were...

In this study, we assessed the species diversity of wetland zooplankton in the Lachlan River catchment. Biodiversity...

...David Milledge; Todd Soderquist ABSTRACT In November and December 2019, wildfires in the lower Richmond River district of north-eastern New South Wales burned large tracts of forest including the territories of three pairs of Barking Owls Ninox connivens where breeding activity and two active nests...

..., and that there is relatively slow gene flow between river catchments, the observed genetic diversity at the MHC Class II locus was lower than those in larger previously studied river catchments but higher than those in two island populations. Consequently, this population of platypuses may have a limited capacity to respond...

..., 2010). There were heaped piles of oyster shells in what are known as middens on the sandy shores of the rivers, along with lesser amounts of fish and animal bones. These middens do not tell us exactly what people ate some remains like fish bones decay more quickly than do oyster shells, so bones may...

...Nathan J. Waltham Few freshwater aquatic species have ecological traits that deal with the vagaries of flow in ephemeral tropical rivers. In northern Australia, the tropical freshwater crab, Austrothelphusa transversa (von Martens, 1868) is a conspicuous species that occupies seasonal rivers, where...

...N. Koch; S.A. Munks; M. Utesch; P.E. Davies; P.D. McIntosh This study examined the occurrence, relative abundance and condition of platypuses in the upper catchment of the South Esk River, in north-east Tasmania, Australia, and the impact of past forestry activities on the occurrence of platypuses...

...Darren Shelly Sixteen Barking Owl Ninox connivens records, accounting for 29 birds were made by Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources (DIPNR) staff from 1996-2004 within the lower Macquarie River floodplain in New South Wales. Records suggest a strong association between owl...

...S. V. Briggs; S. A. Thornton This study investigated relationships between durations of inundation in River Red Gum wetlands and waterbird breeding, in particular the durations of flooding under nest trees that waterbirds need to breed successfully; and developed guidelines for managing water...

...D. A. Rohweder; P. R. Baverstock The current and historical distribution of the platypus Ornithorhynchus anatinus was studied in the Richmond River catchment northern New South Wales in order to determine whether changes in distribution have occurred over the past 60-70 years, sightings were...

...D.G. Read A pilot survey for vertebrate fauna was conducted in four habitats on the floodplain of the Great Anabranch of the Darling River in western New South Wales. The objective was to develop suitable techniques for surveys of the fauna diversity inhabiting these diverse and variable habitats...

...David Priddel; Robert Wheeler In August 1994 a Bryde's Whale Balaenoptera edeni entered and became entrapped in the Manning River, New South Wales. The individual was an immature male of the rare pygmy form of Bryde's Whale: it was 10.3 m long and weighed approximately 7.7 tonnes. The whale...
