Posted: 02/04/2021
Author(s): GREG. P. CLANCY AND MICK ANDREN

Knowledge of habitat distribution and population size is important for the conservation management of species. The Black-necked Stork (Ciconiidae: Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus australis) is listed as an endangered species under the New South Wales (NSW) Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 and there is ongoing debate on its population size in the State. In this study, the […]

One possible reason for this decline may be a low fledgling rate and lack of recruitment of juveniles into the population. This study examined the production of young by this species in the fragmented woodlands […]

HABITAT PARTITIONING AND INTERSPECIFIC TERRITORIALITY IN FLAME, SCARLET AND DUSKY ROBINS

Posted: 02/04/2021
Author(s): TABITHA C. Y. HUI and RANDY W. ROSE

Flame (Petroica phoenicea), Scarlet (P. boodang) and Dusky (Melanodryas vittata) Robins occasionally occur sympatrically in Tasmania. All three species are insectivorous, inhabit forests with an open understorey, and are ecologically similar. The question then arises as to how they are able to coexist. In this study, foraging behaviour, habitat selection and interspecific territoriality in the […]

Author(s): D. J. GEERING

The Regent Honeyeater has been the subject of intensive study and conservation effort over the past decade and a half. Until now, there has been no guide to accurately age and sex Regent Honeyeaters in the field. Being able to age and sex birds potentially provides data on population structure and dynamics. In particular, it […]
