Abstract Preventing biodiversity loss in fragmented agricultural landscapes is a global problem. The persistence of within remnant vegetation can be influenced by an animal's ability to move through the farmland matrix between habitat patches. Yet, many mechanisms driving species occurrence these are poorly understood, particularly for reptiles. We used scented and unscented plasticine lizard models wildlife cameras (a) estimate predation risk reptiles four types (crop field, pasture...
Abstract Mitigating the negative impacts of agriculture on amphibians requires knowledge how different land uses affect species distribution and community composition. In case frogs, there is currently insufficient information their use terrestrial habitats in cropping landscapes to inform conservation planning. We examined four farmland types (linear plantings, cereal crops, grazing paddocks woody mulch) crop harvesting influenced amphibian abundance, richness, body condition movement....
Abstract Reinvasion of pest animals after incomplete control is a major challenge for invasive species management, yet little known about the behavioural and demographic categories reinvaders or mechanisms that drive population‐level responses to control. To understand fine‐scale reinvasion, we examined changes in demography, movements activity patterns reinvading alien black rats Rattus rattus short (4 weeks) longer term (3 months) following localised experimental removal. Using recovery...
A timing and precise diagnosis of crop nutrient status is essential for optimizing management practices that promote environmentally friendly enhanced yields. Although plant tissue analysis has conventionally been employed to evaluate the nutritional crops, this method cannot capture spatial variability nutrients. In contrast, satellite-based remote sensing can monitor crops across expansive areas. This study explored capability multi-source satellite images (PlanetScope-4: 3 m, 4 bands;...
Abstract Animal movement through agricultural landscapes is critical for population persistence of species within fragmented native vegetation patches. However, perceived habitat quality and the structural changes between differing land uses such can reduce an animal's willingness to move. Understanding when animal behaviour varies in response types necessary identifying barriers We quantified homing success fine‐scale a patch‐dependent gecko, Gehyra versicolor , remnant patches, three...
Abstract Conservation practitioners commonly work together in management teams, contributing expertise to the planning and decision‐making associated with threatened species management. These groups may include individuals different perspectives around if, when how implement Yet, rarely do we consider value of discussion shaping these perspectives, thus Decision triggers can be used formalise decisions encourage teams explore proactively. Previous research has identified individual experts...
ABSTRACT This short note presents field observations of a pair adult threatened Little Whip Snakes Parasuta flagellum and juvenile Common Eastern Brown Pseudonaja textilis in an aggregation beneath artificially placed Masonite board used the Turallo Nature Reserve long-term Snake monitoring program. The observation represents first documented record interspecific between these two species. Presumably, there may be thermal or anti-predatory advantages for by aggregating with other snakes,...
The endangered Booroolong Frog Litoria booroolongensis has undergone dramatic declines over the majority of its range, which have largely been attributed to extensive clearing and ongoing modification associated with agricultural practices, disease introduced pests. This paper presents a small-scale assessment distribution habitat associations Frog, using data collected during surveys for environmental impact assessments, in areas likely preferred identified along Campbells Macquarie Rivers...
CRK adaptor proteins are important for signal transduction mechanisms driving cell proliferation and positioning during vertebrate central nervous system development. Zebrafish lacking both family members exhibit small, disorganized retinas with 50% penetrance. The goal of this study was to determine whether another protein might functionally compensate the loss adaptors. Expression patterns in developing zebrafish, bioinformatic analyses motifs recognized by their SH2 SH3 domains, suggest...
