Description of the female, nymph and larva and mitochondrial genome, and redescription of the male of Ixodes barkeri Barker, 2019 (Acari: Ixodidae), from the short-beaked echidna, Tachyglossus aculeatus, with a consideration of the most suitable subgenus for this tick

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Ixodes barkeri, a tick with a distinctive ventrolateral horn-like projection on palpal segment 1, was described in 2019 from two male ticks from the Wet Tropics of Far North Queensland, Australia.

Extracting More Data from LiDAR in Forested Areas by Analyzing Waveform Shape [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) in forested areas is used for constructing Digital Terrain Models (DTMs), estimating biomass carbon and timber volume and estimating foliage distribution as an indicator of tree growth and health. All of these purposes

Structural Determination, Oxygen Diffusion, and Storage Capacity of a High‐Entropy Fluorite‐Type Oxidation Catalyst

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Inducing cationic high entropy on CeO2 modifies the structure, leading to increased oxygen diffusion and resistance to sintering. In turn, this leads to enhanced oxygen storage capacities without degradation, showing potential for oxidation catalysis.

FeCr₂S₄ in magnetic fields: possible evidence for a multiferroic ground state. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We report on neutron diffraction, thermal expansion, magnetostriction, dielectric, and specific heat measurements on polycrystalline FeCr2S4 in external magnetic fields. The ferrimagnetic ordering temperatures TC ≈ 170 K and the transition at TOO ≈ 10 K,

Quantitative Genetic Variation and Response for Harvest Body Weight in a Selection Program for Red Tilapia (Oreochromis spp.)

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Genetic variation is indispensable for both natural and artificial selection, as well as evolution, adaptation, and the long‐term success of selective breeding programs. This study attempted to scrutinise genetic variations and responses within the breeding population of red tilapia across eight generations of selection (2016–2023).

Returning a lost process by reintroducing a locally extinct digging marsupial [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
The eastern bettong (Bettongia gaimardi), a medium-sized digging marsupial, was reintroduced to a predator-free reserve after 100 years of absence from the Australian mainland. The bettong may have the potential to restore temperate woodlands degraded by

Comparison of forest attributes derived from two terrestrial lidar systems. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Terrestrial lidar (TLS) is an emerging technology for deriving forest attributes, including conventional inventory and canopy characterizations. However, little is known about the influence of scanner specifications on derived forest parameters.

Toward an art of genomic selection in vegetable breeding

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Genomic selection (GS) is a powerful strategy for accelerating genetic gain in plant breeding. While in recent years GS has been widely adopted in breeding programs for agronomic crops, its implementation in vegetable breeding has been comparatively limited.

Learning ethics from an echidna: Embedding Indigenous knowledges at the core of ethical research practice

open access: yesMethodological Innovations, 2020
I am an Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander 2 (Koori 3 ) researcher and am privileged to work at the Cultural Interface with Koori ontologies, epistemologies and axiologies within a Western academic paradigm.

Airborne DNA and Spider Webs Outperform Other eDNA Sources for Monitoring Terrestrial Vertebrates

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the strengths and limitations of different environmental DNA substrates is essential for optimising terrestrial vertebrate surveys and monitoring. However, the performance of newly explored substrates (airborne eDNA, vegetation swabs, spiderwebs) compared to longstanding eDNA sources (water and soil) is uncertain.
