.... For aquatic-breeding frogs, pond physical/chemical properties influence all life-stages and therefore populations, species, and communities. However, studies have focussed on tadpoles, considered few water variables, and not considered relationships between water attributes and frog populations or communities...

... metres caudal fork length) member of the snapper family (Lutjanidae). It is the only Australian member of its mostly tropical marine genus to enter fresh water, where juveniles and subadults are common. The species is gonochronistic (individuals belong to only one of the two sexes) and exhibits...

...Dana Vickers; John Hunter; Wendy Hawes Tree hollows are a major feature within Australian habitats and an important functional resource for many species in terms of shelter, reproduction, and thermoregulation. Water-filled tree hollows, or phytotelmata, also function as a valuable resource...

...S. V. Briggs; S. A. Thornton This study investigated relationships between durations of inundation in River Red Gum wetlands and waterbird breeding, in particular the durations of flooding under nest trees that waterbirds need to breed successfully; and developed guidelines for managing water...

... is through contact with contaminated surface waters. Current testing routines in aquatic systems have not been designed specifically to assess endocrine disruption properties or, alternatively, methods tend not to be fully developed. An alternative approach is to use a response sensitive to these chemicals...

...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...

... contains 22 habitat ponds, each attached to a water reticulation system. Predation by Gambusia has been identified as a key threatening process for the Green and Golden Bell Frog and may be a major contributor to the disappearance of many frog species in Australia. Its presence in Narawang Wetland offered...

We also detail gaps in sighting history and highlight variability in the east Australian humpback whale population migration. The collective annual effort to document Migaloo’s presence along the Australian east coast is a unique...
