... Some of the most fundamental questions of forest bat conservation cannot be answered without a stable species taxonomy, yet the taxonomy of Australian bats requires extensive research. Approximately two-thirds of species, affecting 80% of genera, require taxonomic clarification. This includes...

... in common with an unrelated species, the Western Taipan Oxyuranus microlepidotus, to the extent that some confusion could arise in distinguishing between the two. Relevant aspects of the taxonomy and morphology of Pseudonaja and that of O. microlepidotus are discussed. ...

... A study is underway to revise the taxonomy of two closely related genera of mayflies from the Leptophlebiidae ; Nousia (Navás 1918) and Koorrnonga (Campbell and Suter 1988). Nymphs continue to be collected extensively throughout Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania to be reared...

... . They appear to have very restricted distributions, with almost one-third of species being endemic to the wet forests of north Queensland. Preliminary results from studies on the taxonomy, phylogeny and distribution of Australian baeines are discussed n i relation to their potential in biodiversity studies...

... integrity. Adequate research funding and recognition of the scientific merit of taxonomy are crucial to this process. ...

... Sydney has been the site of a number of important studies into frogs, including the earliest studies on their ecology and taxonomy and probably the location of the specimen used for the first description of an Australian frog. At least five species are named from specimens collected...

... Western Australia has an exceptionally rich herpetofauna of over 570 species and subspecies distributed over a diverse landmass comprising nearly one-third of Australia. The taxonomy of the fauna has been clarified considerably during the last 30 years, however, numerous new species continue...

... long-term ecological indicators due to their diversity, abundance, specific habitat requirements and good preservation in sediments. Taxonomy of the family Chydoridae in Australia is confounded in that many species identified early this century (and indeed more recently) were not described adequately...
