Habitat Quality and Water Availability Affect Genetic Connectivity of Platypus Across an Urban Landscape

Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 648-662, October 2025.
We developed a set of innovative landscape resistance models to identify how climatic, topographic and vegetation variables influenced gene flow in the iconic Australian platypus across a 300 km2 urbanised landscape. Our research identified topographic wetness, rainfall and vegetation cover as consistently important for maintaining landscape‐scale gene

Developmental Endocrinology of the Dipnoan,Neoceratodus forsteri [PDF]

American Zoologist, 1997
The development of the pineal, pituitary and thyroid glands of the extant lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri , are being studied both morphologically and functionally. This paper presents data from hatching to 40–52 weeks for a standardised series of lungfish, bred at Macquarie University.

Revisiting the History of Ornamental Aquaculture in Europe to Understand the Benefits and Drawbacks of Freshwater Fish Imports

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Ornamental aquaculture and fishkeeping are very popular with millions of enthusiasts worldwide. The number of newly imported fish species for ornamental purposes grew slowly from World War I until the 1980s. It then exponentially increased until now with more than 7900 species and a large number of scientifically undescribed morphotypes.

Anatomical insights into fish terrestrial locomotion: A study of barred mudskipper (Periophthalmus argentilineatus) fins based on μCT 3D reconstructions

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 245, Issue 4, Page 593-624, October 2024.
This study reveals that the barred mudskipper, Periophthalmus argentilineatus, has evolved intricate musculoskeletal features in its fins, such as increased muscle volume, skeletal reinforcements, and specialized aponeuroses, signifying a profound evolutionary shift toward terrestrial life.

Pitfalls and windfalls of detecting demographic declines using population genetics in long‐lived species

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Detecting recent demographic changes is a crucial component of species conservation and management, as many natural populations face declines due to anthropogenic habitat alteration and climate change. Genetic methods allow researchers to detect changes in effective population size (Ne) from sampling at a single timepoint.

Darwin, Haeckel, and the “Mikluskan gas organ theory”

Developmental Dynamics, Volume 253, Issue 4, Page 370-389, April 2024.
Abstract A previously unknown reference to the Russian ethnologist, biologist, and traveler Nikolai N. Miklucho‐Maclay (1846–1888) was discovered in correspondence between Charles Darwin (1809–1882) and Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919). This reference has remained unknown to science, even to Miklucho‐Maclay's biographers, probably because Darwin used the ...

Using an acoustic telemetry array to assess fish volumetric space use: a case study on impoundments, hypoxia and an air-breathing species (Neoceratodus forsteri)

, 2017
Facultative air-breathing fish can persist in hypoxic waters due to their capacity to acquire atmospheric oxygen. Most studies examining responses of air-breathing fish to aquatic hypoxia have occurred under experimental conditions.
