...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...

... and datasets Introduction The abundance and diversity of organisms usually fluctuate through time and space due to a variety of biotic and abiotic factors (Andrewartha and Birch 1984). The drivers of spatial variation in abundance at local to global scales are relatively well known (e.g., temperature...

These studies have demonstrated the generalist diet of the red fox and its variation among...

... 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...

... structure within the entire tropical, subtropical and temperate east Australian distribution of L. argentimaculatus . Although this species may exhibit clinal morphological and life-history variation at its southern range limit, we did not detect wide- or fine-scale spatial genetic structure to indicate...

... most abundant species of frog Litoria fallax, Litoria peroni and Limnodynastes peroni were also analysed for site preference and population variations over the survey. Monitoring the Green and Golden Bell Frog Litoria aurea on the Crookhaven floodplain at Nowra, New South Wales from 2016-2022...

... variation in host-parasite aggregations. Prevalence of ticks was uniformly high (> 98%) but median tick abundance varied 3.52 fold among 9 host lizard populations. There was no evidence to suggest that average tick abundances were correlated with genetic similarities (R m = 0.133, P = 0.446...

... used summary data, mixed model regression and Chi-squared tests to examine variation in abundance, richness, and frequency in captures. A total of 167 species representing nine families were recorded from 9986 captures or observations (3127 records from pitfall traps, 1813 from funnel traps and 5046...

... the fires, two 1ha plots were established at the centre of each of the three owl territories. Assessments of these plots demonstrated that 22.6% of the large trees and stags were lost or severely damaged, with a third of this total being ≥100 cm dbh. Despite wide variation in the pre-fire canopy tree...

...A.S. Kutt; E.P. Vanderduys Pitfall trapping is a long established method for trapping terrestrial vertebrates globally. Many variations in bucket and drift fence arrays are used. Recent survey guidelines have been published for Queensland and the Northern Territory. In Queensland a “T” pattern...

Furthermore, we provide morphological and ecological data and discuss this record in the contexts of geographic variation and the high number of isolated reptile populations and endemism seen on the Cape Range peninsula. * Corresponding...

We found that the fencing activated consistently in response to headlights at dusk and dawn, and when traffic flows were dense, despite considerable variations in the range of installation parameters. However, we identified...

The complex nomenclatural history of this species is discussed. Multivariate analysis of variation in external...

... and adults were sexed, and size at onset of maturity was determined. Geographic variation in P. barbata was also studied by comparing lizards from three regions in New South Wales (NSW), which differ in annual rainfall. Relative to snout-vent length, head and leg lengths were in negative allometry in all...
