In this study, we compared the numbers, survival and diets of three species of small mammal at two sites in tall open-forest in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia. The first site was subjected to a high severity experimental fire...

...Peter Banks; K. Nelika; A. Hughes; Tania Rose Domestic dogs are typically prohibited from National Parks and other wildlife reserves partly because managers fear that dog faeces will deter native small mammals from their normal behaviours. We tested this notion for two native small mammals in Ku...

...C. M. Young; K.A. Kimpton; H.M Cohen; P.T. Burns; K. McLaughlin; P.B. Banks ABSTRACT Live trapping is a common survey technique used to sample small terrestrial mammal populations, but too often traps are disturbed by non-target species, especially by birds such as corvids, resulting...

... on the comparative moult patterns in three small native mammal species trapped from the Central Highlands ofMctoria: two dasyurid rnar- supials, Antechinus stuartii and A. swainsod, and the murid rodent Rattus fuscipes. MATERIALS and METHODS The animals were caught in break-back traps during survey work from 1980-82...

...Peter McDonald; Chris Pavey Populations of Australian desert rodents are known to undergo booms in response to resource pulses following periods of high rainfall. Australia's arid-adapted Tyto owls have been recorded responding functionally and numerically to these small mammal booms, though...

...Matthew Stanton; Jason Anderson State Forests of me southwestern slopes of New South Wales were surveyed for ground dwelling mammals utilizing hair baps (42 sites), small mammal traps (11 sites), nocturnal searches (253 sites), scat and animal sign observations, opportunistic observations...

.... Live-trapping techniques were used for amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals, and birds were identified along line transects. Habitat attributes measured were the height and density of ground cover, and the depth and density of soil cracks. Total species identified included 1 amphibian, 12 reptiles...

.... Significant Before-After Control-Impact differences were observed for five microhabitat metrics. Ground cover components (forb and fern) returned to pre-fire levels quickly (within 0.5 years). Mid storey components returned to pre-fire levels within 6.0 years of the fire. Small mammal responses are species...

... and Australian Magpie Gymnorhina tibicen was higher in burnt sites, while small mammals (< 500 g) had higher relative abundance at unburnt sites. There was no difference in the relative abundance of the Superb Lyrebird Menura novaehollandiae across burnt and unburnt sites, and although 11 species of bird were...

... exchange of animals. We compared mammal use of long-established drainage culverts and newly constructed tunnels under the Maldon-Dombarton rail line, near Wollongong, New South Wales. Small mammals used the established culverts, but use of the new tunnels was predominantly by feral predators. We predict...

These changes contrast markedly with the responses of the two most common species of small mammals (the Agile Antechinus [ Antechinus agilis ] and Bush Rat...

Costs per methods were approximately equal when comparing different techniques such as pitfall, cage, Elliott and funnel traps. This study demonstrates that it is straightforward to use simple...

The activity of rabbits and small mammals was lower where dingoes were absent and fox activity was high, while the activity of macropods was higher in the absence of dingoes.
