In this study, we investigated another Australian native species, the ornate burrowing frogPlatyplectrum ornatum(Limnodynastidae), found throughout northern and eastern regions of Australia (Fig.1a). It is of particular interest because it has one of the smallest genomes among amphibians globally an...
woodland birdsEcosystem or landscape health indices are important tools for land managers. While strong predictable relationships between these indices and biotic diversity are often generalized, they are seldom validated. Here we use data from a semi-arid eastern Australian woodland to examine the ...

Providing specialist and emergency vet services for dogs, cats, birds, and exotic pets. Breadth & depth of skills, cutting-edge facilities, and client focused.
In a study on dispersal behaviour of woodland birds, both sedentary and nomadic bird species such as the Eastern Yellow Robin (Eopsaltria australis) and the White-plumed Honeyeaters (Lichenostomus penicillatus) were observed to use a foray search strategy for dispersal and moved between ...
Although the definition of ‘degraded land’ is open to wide interpretation, this study adopted the definition used in the Australian Land Use and Management (ALUM) classification system, in which degraded land is defined as ‘land that is severely degraded (e.g., from soil erosion, salinity,...
across a broad range of taxonomic groups including mammals, birds, reptiles, and fishes (Frankham,1996; Taylor et al.,2003; Whiteley et al.,2013; Rivera-Ortíz et al.,2014). Where population isolation and loss of genetic diversity through drift threatens the viability of small populations, ...
It worth mentioning that the term herbivore comprises a wide range of species, including insects, birds, reptiles, non-ruminant and ruminant mammalians. Indeed, plants and insects have coexisted for at least 350 million years [54], while the current ruminant families entered in the chronology of...
