... on the seed of Double Gee Emex australis , an introduced, prolific, agricultural weed. When incubating and raising young nestlings, parents foraged within 5 km of their breeding area. However, once their nestlings were older, they often foraged more than 20 km from their nest hollows, commuting over an hour...

... with pollination and seed dispersal), evening fly-outs, belly-dipping, nomadic movements and use of numerous roosts. The concept exemplifies how QR codes can be implemented to engage the public on aspects of biodiversity that urgently need more attention to foster stronger community support for conservation...

... across a range of global contexts. Here we discuss recent research that demonstrates the power of strategically deploying olfactory misinformation to reduce predation on birds by predators, consumption of vulnerable seedlings by herbivores, and seeds by rodents as well as how multimodal misinformation...

... on the seeds of Double Gee Emex australis , an introduced agricultural weed, for food. The breeding biology of the Western Red-tailed Cockatoo Calyptorhynchus escondidus in the wheatbelt of Western Australia Denis A Saunders Weetangera ACT 2614 [email protected] A breeding population of Western Red-tailed...

...Renae Hockey; Lachlan Wilmott; Lachlan Hall; George Madani ABSTRACT The Eastern Pygmy-possum Cercartetus nanu s is a small arboreal marsupial in the family Burramyidae that is threatened in parts of its range. Considered a generalist omnivore, its diet is known to include invertebrates, seeds...

... species richness, cover and plant resources: flowering and seeding)? We considered both ‘standard lags’, i.e., the conditions at time i prior to sampling, and ‘cumulative lags’, i.e., the conditions prevailing over the entire period since time i . Ant species richness in samples responded positively...

... stomachs contained plant material, with lower frequencies of arthropods. Fruits and seeds were the predominant parts of plants consumed. The dominant arthropods eaten were insect larvae and beetles. Occasional vertebrate items found in stomachs were mostly sourced as carrion. No significant differences...

... of the species in Australia is discussed. The imperative for conservation management of the Spectacled Flying Fox is emphasized regardless of its official conservation status, particularly in relation to seed dispersal and pollination of rainforest plants. The most important component of this management must...

.... Priorities in ecological studies were considered to be habit selection and roost selection, followed by studies of movements and diets. Respondents agreed that there was a value of bat research to broader conservation issues: rainforest plant species benefit from seed dispersal by fruit bats; surveys of bats...

...Darren Shelly Eighty-two species of vertebrates were recorded from an area of cypress pine and ironbark forest within Goonoo State Forest, located 42 Idiometres north-east of Dubbo. New South Wales. Grass-seed-eating birds were uncommon due to the lack of gasses within the forest. Small birds...

...Karl Vernes; James Trappe The diet of the Red-legged Pademelon Thylogale stigmatica has previously been described as comprising a range of dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants, rainforest fruits, seeds, and some fungi. We collected T. stigmatica faecal samples from a rainforest-open forest...

... components of the diet of a recently re-introduced population of bilbies at Scotia Sanctuary, in western New South Wales, from faecal material collected over a period of 13 months. Animals consumed more invertebrates than green plant material and seeds throughout the study, although there was temporal...
