... of the wildlife-domestic interface is disease spread modelling. This can provide insight into how diseases spread within and between populations, and guide decision-making for disease control, response and surveillance programs. Specifically, quantitative estimation of contact rates permits such disease spread...

... occurring in a concealed cavity under the stream bank. Additional observations included tadpole emergence and vocal interactions between males. These findings provide rare insights into the reproductive biology of H. a. flavopunctatus , highlight its dependence on specific stream microhabitats...

... for a range of species with few prior records and variable amounts of biological information. Therefore, a project was undertaken to perform Rapid Habitat Assessments (RHAs) for 13 priority KI invertebrate species, followed by species-specific surveys. RHAs are a method employed to quickly assess the presence...

... turtle conservation has received minimal research attention. This descriptive study explores the efficacy of using a WDD to locate both turtles and nests, to protect them from mortal threats. A WDD was trained to detect turtle-related odours, specifically female turtles, eggs, and nests. Deployment...

... ecological communities of Posidonia australis seagrass and saltmarsh. More so, we highlight areas that have been the focus of research and collections with respect to specific projects, such as collections associated with the development of the third airport runway for the Federal Airports Corporation. We...

... are presented here, as well as data on the depth and/or microclimate of structures. Specifically, adits were between 6 and 60 m in total depth with bats generally occupying the darkest portions. The maximum colony size noted during diurnal counts was 45 bats. A tunnel was also investigated for use by microbats...

... to collaborate closely with industrial designers, and I also make the case for species- and context-specific design and development for new artificial habitat projects. I end with a brief review of design and monitoring and evaluation principles for artificial habitat projects. I aim to encourage a broader...

... lyrebird is scant, and in the light of our data, unrepresentative of her repertoire, especially during her role as parental carer. We present a series of photographs, sonograms and accessible sound recordings. These show specific behaviours of the female as she enters and leaves the nest...

... adult female. Specific locality data are available for three skulls, collected at Lake Saint Clair, south of Cressy, and Woolnorth. Holding five skulls, University of Melbourne's collection constitutes one of the top ten largest thylacine assemblages in Australasia, and the second largest held...

..., to satisfy minimum requirements for detectability, repeatability, and replicability. The technique could be used, with species- and habitat-specific modifications, for monitoring other patchily distributed odonates, including petalurids, and contribute to their improved conservation management. Monitoring...

..., such as replanting of native vegetation and community education, as well as the emergence of grants sought for heat stress mitigations in the subsequent funding rounds. Grants awarded for preparing flying-fox management plans progressed over the course of the program from predominantly camp-specific plans...
