Morphogenetic, structural and productive traits of buffel grass under different irrigation regimes
The water restriction conditions in the Brazilian semiarid region are one of the most limiting factors to the establishment and yield of forage grasses. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different irrigation regimes on morphogenetic, structural ...

Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case
Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.

Abstract Bushfires occur regularly in inland Australia because of the flammability of spinifex (Triodia species). Spinifex and fire are tied together by infertility: the plant is of limited palatability to consumers and accumulates into fuel. Spinifex regrows with cumulative rainfall, and fires recur every couple of decades.

A literature review and expert elicitation identified mammal declines in northwestern Australia are predominantly driven by feral cat predation and habitat degradation from feral livestock and fire mismanagement. We found that management actions aimed at reducing the density of feral livestock and improving fire regimes are most likely to provide ...

Using Scale Pattern Variation to Identify Individuals in the Long‐Lived Reptile, Egernia rugosa
ABSTRACT Effective population monitoring programmes rely on identifying individual animals accurately and ethically without negatively impacting their natural behaviour and survival. This study aimed to determine if the chin scale patterns of the threatened yakka skink (Egernia rugosa) could be used to consistently identify individual skinks.

Parallels and discrepancies between non‐native species introductions and human migration
ABSTRACT Biological invasions and human migrations have increased globally due to socio‐economic drivers and environmental factors that have enhanced cultural, economic, and geographic connectivity. Both processes involve the movement, establishment, and spread of species, yet unfold within fundamentally different philosophical, social and biological ...
