The Victorian Mallee region encompasses the Little Desert, the Big Desert, the Sunset Country and the Hattah-Kulkyne. Each area is unique and with different topography, vegetation and fauna. The region experiences consistently higher temperatures, lower rainfall and contains a g…
Different approaches to population modeling provide different types of information about population structure and viability. Animal-habitat models may be used to identify quantitative relationships between environmental variables and species' occurrences and demographic models m…
Field guide to the frogs of Australia
by Knight, Frank, Tyler, Michael J., Roberts, J. Dale
Throughout much of the world, frog populations are declining and some species are disappearing totally. In Australia, several species have become extinct in the past 35 years. This second edition of "Field Guide to the Frogs of Australia" provides fully updated accounts of all t…
Ranavirus infection has caused severe disease and mass mortality in UK common frogs for more than twenty years resulting in serious declines in some populations. The pathogen has been studied since 1992. These studies generated two valuable resources exploited in this thesis: an…
Understanding interspecies patterns and the mechanisms that generated them is key in macroevolutionary theory. Often, these patterns can be attributed to selection affecting groups of lineages in different manners. Under the ecomorphological paradigm, we investigated the macroev…
