Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 350-381, July 2024.ABSTRACT Curracurrang 1 (1CU5) is a rockshelter site located in the Royal National Park (RNP) on the coast south of Sydney. Excavated from 1962 to 1966, the site's rich Holocene cultural deposit has become important for understanding regional Late Holocene developments in Australian lithic and shell technologies.

Cooperation serving to biodiversity recovery: experiences in Western Australia [PDF]
, 2008 Décadas de uso inadecuado de los recursos naturales en Australia han llevado a la extinción de numerosas especies autóctonas. Aprendiendo de sus propios errores, se han inicido recientemente diferentes proyectos de conservación en los que participan ...

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 7, July 2024.Pseudantechinus mimulus is a little‐known carnivorous marsupial whose distribution and habitat associations remain uncertain. Our four‐year camera trap study refined the contemporary distribution of P. mimulus and determined a suite of landscape and floristic variables that help predict the species' presence.

Survival of vertebrate fauna in remnant vegetation patches and colonisation of revegetation areas in the La Trobe Valley, Victoria [PDF]
, 2009 Expansion of open-cut coal mines in the La Trobe Valley, Victoria, will lead to the loss of native vegetation and vertebrate habitat. Corporations operating these mines have entered into agreements to manage offset areas for conservation values.

Medium-sized exotic prey create novel food webs: the case of predators and scavengers consuming lagomorphs [PDF]
, 2016 Food web interactions are key to community structure. The introduction of species can be seen as an uncontrolled experiment of the addition of species. Introduced species lead to multiple changes, frequently threatening the native biodiversity. However,

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 7, July 2024.Understanding how landscape productivity and resource dispersion influence species' space use in fenced reintroduction sites is critical to the effective management of these important populations. We studied bilby home range size and movements in the arid and semi‐arid zone and found that females are directly influenced by habitat dispersion, while ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.Vertebrae of the cervical region are more diverse in shape among species than other regions. Evolutionary allometry plays a stronger role than locomotion in driving shape variation in small‐ to medium‐sized terrestrial mammals. Abstract During mammalian terrestrial locomotion, body flexibility facilitated by the vertebral column is expected to be ...

Thermal scanners versus spotlighting: New opportunities for monitoring threatened small endotherms
Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2024.We directly compared thermal scanners and traditional spotlights in vehicle‐based surveys for detecting small, cryptic endotherms at night. Thermal scanners provide improved detection rates and detection distances under a range of vegetation structures compared to spotlights, while causing less disturbance to roosting animals.

A new cue for torpor induction: charcoal, ash and smoke [PDF]
Recent work has shown that the use of torpor for energy conservation increases after forest fires in heterothermic mammals, probably in response to the reduction of food.

Unifying principles in terrestrial locomotion: Do hopping Australian marsupials fit in? [PDF]
, 2000 Mammalian terrestrial locomotion has many unifying principles. However, the Macropodoidea are a particularly interesting group that exhibit a number of significant deviations from the principles that seem to apply to other mammals.
