... these features at a local landscape scale. Long-term banding data also revealed negligible effects of weather extremes on survival and we suggest our high elevation study site represented a climate refuge that buffered bats from the effects of weather extremes. No single technique provides all the answers to bat...

... across a flying season, and potentially, for comparison among years for a separate, longitudinal, landscape-scale study. Successful use of the technique is contingent upon a sound understanding of the species’ habitat preferences and behaviour, with caveats for survey timing and weather protocols...

... state of animals and ambient noise, followed by whether conspecifics are present, weather variables, habitat variables, whether animals have received previous exposure to anthropogenic settings, animals’ behaviour prior to drone flights and whether predators are present. Policies and protocols...

... between: (1) the severity of fires and logging history, (2) post-fire bird population recovery and long-term climate and short-term weather conditions, and (3) impacts on forest soils. The structure and landscape composition of the Mountain Ash ecosystem has been radically altered over the last century...

... challenges due to the harsh environmental conditions or extreme weather events that may be encountered. Such conditions are especially likely to occur in arid environments. Fieldwork issues can arise from vehicle breakdowns, wildfires and heavy rainfall events, all of which can delay or even cancel data...

... distribution modelling that take into account temporal patterns of movement driven by weather and productivity, we demonstrate how to map and predict the key sites for conservation action for nomadic species. We explore recent advancements in decision–support tools to incorporate species movements...

... active while inside the mounds, a few became torpid while in the mounds. The use of the mounds was influenced by ambient weather conditions. Vegetation mounds have a management advantage over other types of over-winter habitat in that they are portable, cheap and easy to maintain and easy to monitor...

...Richard Shine; Mark Fitzgerald This small elapid snake is endangered because of its restriction to a specific habitat (weathered sandstone outcrops in southeastem Australia) that is under heavy pressure for commercial exploitation, especially for “bushrock” in suburban gardens. We review...

... and targeted diurnal surveys to document variation in the population over six years that enabled us to consider site/habitat preference for breeding and refuge outside of the breeding season. Methods Weather conditions during the surveys The weather conditions varied during the surveys from drought to above...

... University (2022) launched the Flying-fox Heat Stress Forecaster, a website that communicates predictions of imminent extreme heat events from analyses of forecasted weather conditions against known flyingfox camp locations (Ratnayake et al. 2019). This alerts subscribers of the forecaster and allows...

...). For the rodents we have much less experimental data and we rely instead on weak inference from natural history observations. Rodent populations can change because of weather, food supplies, interspecific competition, predation, disease, parasitism, or social interactions (Boonstra et al. 2001, Boonstra and Krebs...
