...Stephen R. Sleightholme; Cameron R. Campbell ABSTRACT As with human fingerprints, the stripe pattern of the Thylacine ( Thylacinus cynocephalus ) is unique to each individual, with a marked degree of variation and asymmetry. This paper examines the stripe pattern variation in 141 of the 180 known...

... factors (Andrewartha and Birch 1984). The drivers of spatial variation in abundance at local to global scales are relatively well known (e.g., temperature) but temporal variation is less well understood (Rull 2014). The need for long- term studies to identify and understand the temporal drivers...

... from February 1996 to October 1999, and August 2001 to February 2002, with additional opportunistic counts from 1986 to 2008. Fifty-five species were recorded between 1986 and 2008. An average of 15 to 20 species were recorded during counts with little seasonal variation. Total species abundances were...
