...W. Ellis; A. Melzer; I. Clifton; F. Carrick We studied two groups of koalas during a drought in central Queensland to investigate potential impacts of climatic variability on the physiology and behaviour of this species. The tree use, water turnover, field metabolic rate and diet of koalas during...

...A.S. Kutt; E.P. Vanderduys ABSTRACT Habitat and landscape gradients can provide insight on how vegetation pattern influence the composition and species turnover in birds. Gradients on mountainsides are particularly suitable as the vegetation can be distinctly stratified. On the western fall...

... given to observer training and the turnover rate of observers has been low. The same pilot has flown all surveys. The pastoral zone is bounded in the north and west by a dingo-proof fence. Large lakes and areas of terrain above 2000 ft elevation (notably the Flinders Ranges) were excluded from...

... undermining their value. Finally, a focus on instrumentation may create a disincentive for people to go into the field and better understand how an ecosystem is functioning. Rapid turnover of staff The success of long-term ecological research and monitoring is almost always dependent on a small set...

... as ecosystem engineers, and reintroduced species can have broadly positive impacts on the landscape (James and Eldridge 2007). The foraging behaviour of digging mammals greatly increases soil turnover, with one estimate suggesting that a single bandicoot can displace almost four tonnes of soil per year...

.... 2017), particularly of riparian zones. When they excavate burrows, wombats provide habitat and shelter for other species, and provide important soil turnover and aeration roles (Kinlaw 1999).

... the claws on their forepaws to unearth them, resulting in their characteristic diggings (Fig. 2). Soil quality may be improved through the turnover and aeration from these diggings (Frankham et al. 2011). Localised loss of potoroos may therefore be detrimental to ecosystem functioning through the loss...
