Shifts in species' ranges are one of the most frequently reported and globally ubiquitous impacts climate change, with rates movement being particularly high sea. The arrival multiple range extending species can cause serious issues for natural resource managers; some threaten ecosystem function while others present social and/or economic opportunities. An early indication which potentially their provide useful guidance managers regarding future investments impact assessment, monitoring or...
Citizen science includes a suite of research approaches that involves participation by citizens, who are not usually trained scientists, in scientific projects. projects have the capacity to record observations species with high precision and accuracy, offering potential for collection biological data support diversity investigations. Moreover, via involvement project participants, these engage public on issues possibly contribute changes community knowledge, attitudes behaviours. However,...
ABSTRACT Aim Climate‐driven extensions of species distributions have serious consequences for human wellbeing and ecosystems. The recent growth citizen science data collection represents an underutilised resource the early detection marine range (i.e., expansion species' at poleward edge) that can enable proactive conservation management. Here, we present a framework systematic assessment evidence along continent's coastlines from observations collected by different programmes. Location...
Forecasts of an El Niño in 2023/2024 raised concern among Australian marine stakeholders regarding its potential impacts on industries and systems. National level seafood-focused climate briefings were requested by the fisheries sector for first time, driven various state regional meetings information requests. To respond to stakeholder needs, six virtual national undertaken through austral summer, underpinned new subseasonal seasonal heatwave forecast capabilities. These developed...
Abstract Quantification of species’ spatial distributions and population trends is crucial for successful conservation efforts. Obtaining sufficient data, however, often difficult in the marine environment, especially rare fish invertebrate species that are small, cryptic very to detect. This study sought understand effort required search undiscovered populations cryptic, shallow vegetated coastal habitats track numbers, using Critically Endangered red handfish ( Thymichthys politus ) as a...
Summary 1. The availability of complex habitats such as macrophytes may be vital in determining the outcomes interactions between introduced predators and native prey. Introduced brown trout ( Salmo trutta ) have impacted numerous small freshwater fishes southern hemisphere, but potential role direct – fish has not been experimentally evaluated. 2. An in‐lake enclosure experiment was used to evaluate importance structurally affecting impacts on a threatened galaxiid fish. Five Galaxias...
Competition and mate choice are fundamentally important components of social systems. We investigated intra-sexual competition inter-sexual (mate choice) in Rankinia diemensis, an agamid lizard with female-biased size dimorphism. examined interactions during contests relation to body for both males females. In male-male trials, proportions two display types differed depending on size, more tail flicks produced by bigger males, hand-waves displayed smaller males. These behaviours hold...
The habitat used by animals plays an important role in their interactions with predators and prey. By using complex habitats such as areas of dense macrophyte cover response to elevated predation risk, small fishes may reduce foraging success. Because the threat introduced brown trout increases use threatened Galaxias auratus (Johnston), we experimentally examined its different estimate indirect impacts presence. lakes which G. lives have recently become more turbid, so experiment was also...
Abstract Fecundity selection is one of the most influential underlying driving forces responsible for body size differences between sexes a species. Reproductive output important aspects an animal's life‐history strategy, and any trait that acts to improve this will be under strong selection. Body potential can influence fecundity when species exhibits female‐biased dimorphism, provides ideal starting point understanding why dimorphism in exists. Female‐biased sexual uncommon vertebrates,...
