Smart Focal Plane Technologies for VLT Instruments

, 2008
As we move towards the era of ELTs, it is timely to think about the future role of the 8-m class telescopes. Under the OPTICON programme, novel technologies have been developed that are intended for use in multi-object and integral-field spectrographs ...

Deriving the functional significance of olfaction in a solitary non‐territorial herbivore: The bare‐nosed wombat Vombatus ursinus

Journal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 4, Page 386-397, December 2025.
We investigated communication in the bare‐nosed wombat (Vombatus ursinus), which is distinctive for depositing its cube‐shaped scats in latrines. We found that bare‐nosed wombats possess a vomeronasal organ for olfactory signal reception, associate their latrines with features in their landscape (particularly rocks, logs, and burrow entrances), have ...

Limited impacts of simulated soil disturbance by rewilded vertebrates on above‐ and below‐ground biodiversity

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.
Rewilding with locally extinct terrestrial vertebrates has been a popular conservation initiative over the past few decades. Among the animals used for rewilding are the small‐ to medium‐sized vertebrates that forage in the soil and that have been lost from many ecosystems due to habitat destruction or predation by exotic species.

Exploring Borrelia in Australia: Isolation, genomic characterisation, and host and vector associations

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Borrelia are tick-borne spirochetes that include important pathogens that cause Lyme borreliosis and relapsing fevers. While multiple Borrelia species have been identified in Australia, further research is needed to understand their ecological roles and ...
