...A. Hulbert; Lyn Beard; Gordon Grigg The short-beaked echidna ( Tachyglossus aculeatus ) is an exceptionally long-living mammal having a maximal lifespan of ~50 years. This is about four times that predicted from its body mass and, consequently, its longevity quotient is ~4. This longevity quotient...

...Alistair Glen; Jeff Short The sheep grazing industry has been an economic mainstay of New South Wales from the early period of European settlement. The dingo quickly established itself as a predator of sheep and a pest of the pastoral industry. In the latter decades of the nineteenth century...

...Jeff Short; John Calaby Charles Hoy, a collector for the US Museum of Natural History, spent three years in Australia (1919-1922) collecting at more than a dozen locations around Australia.

...Andrew Burbidge; Jeff Short; Phillip Fuller The Boodie or Burrowing Bettong Bettongia lesueur became extinct on the Australian mainland by about 1960 but, in some areas, left evidence of its previous distribution in the form of relict landscape features, which remain widespread in arid areas...

...Jeff Short Guy Shortridge made extensive collections of mammals in southern Western Australia in the years 1904 to 1907, less than 80 years after first European settlement of the area. This paper reviews Shortridge's unpublished letters and the published papers that resulted from his collections...

... to high winter temperatures, but negatively to high summer temperatures during the year prior to sampling. Short-term responses to precipitation were idiosyncratic, but longer-term responses were positive, peaking at fourteen months and probably driven indirectly through precipitation impacts on plant...

This short study demonstrated the significance of this small conservation reserve for the protection of a high diversity of terrestrial vertebrate fauna due to its location in a biogeographic transition zone from the wetter east coast of Australia...

... species. Changes in the composition and numbers of species of this assemblage were assessed on both a long-term and short-term basis. The long-term study covered a period of 19 years; the short-term study was from March to May 1986. While considerable variation was observed in the numbers of the component...

...Harry F. Recher ABSTRACT The Yellow-plumed Honeyeater Lichenostomus (Ptilotula) ornatus is a short-billed honeyeater which has declined in abundance over its range in Western Australia (WA), but remains abundant in the Great Western Woodland (GWW) where this study was conducted. It is also found...

...Christopher I. MacGregor; Natasha M. Robinson; Wade Blanchard; David B. Lindenmayer ABSTRACT Dense ground cover and understory can be important as diurnal shelter for terrestrial mammals. Fire can lead to the short-term removal of much of this shelter. Here, we report on the shelter site selection...
