Geographic frequency and ecological correlates of juvenile colour polymorphism in green pythons (Morelia azurea and Morelia viridis) Open
Colour polymorphisms are common in nature, but their evolutionary significance and the mechanisms maintaining them sometimes remain poorly understood. Polymorphic green pythons (Morelia azurea and Morelia viridis) are born either red or ye…

Ticks on snakes: The ecological correlates of ectoparasite infection in free‐ranging snakes in tropical Australia Open
Parasites profoundly influence the lives of their hosts, yet the dynamics of host–parasite interactions are poorly understood – especially in reptiles. We examined the ecological correlates of parasitism by ixodid ticks in an assemblage of…

Examination of Sarcocystis spp. of giant snakes from Australia and Southeast Asia confirms presence of a known pathogen – Sarcocystis nesbitti Open
We examined Sarcocystis spp. in giant snakes from the Indo-Australian Archipelago and Australia using a combination of morphological (size of sporocyst) and molecular analyses. We amplified by PCR nuclear 18S rDNA from single sporocysts in…

Cane toads beneath bird rookeries: utilization of a natural disturbance by an invasive species Open
Many invasive species exploit anthropogenically disturbed habitats, but most of those taxa evolved long before humans. Presumably, then, an ability to use natural (non-anthropogenic) disturbances pre-adapted invaders to a world later degra…

Sustainable management of the trade in reticulated python skins in Indonesia and Malaysia Open
Each year, approximately 300,000 reticulated pythons (Python reticulatus) are harvested from the wild in Indonesia and Malaysia to supply skins for the international trade in exotic leathers. Concerns have been raised about the sustainabil…

How do predators and scavengers locate resource hotspots within a tropical forest? Open
In many parts of the world, wildlife species congregate at ‘hotspot’ locations that offer feeding opportunities unmatched in the wider landscape. But to exploit those resource‐rich sites, animals must first locate them. In tropical Austral…

Interspecific interactions between feral pigs and native birds reveal both positive and negative effects Open
In tropical Australian rainforests, predators and scavengers aggregate beneath emergent trees that house large colonies of metallic starlings ( Aplonis metallica ), feeding in the nutrient‐rich open areas below. Analysis of camera‐trap rec…

Communally Nesting Migratory Birds Create Ecological Hot-Spots in Tropical Australia Open
Large numbers of metallic starlings (Aplonis metallica) migrate annually from New Guinea to the rainforests of tropical Australia, where they nest communally in single emergent trees (up to 1,000 birds). These aggregations create dense and…

Jungle Giants: Assessing Sustainable Harvesting in a Difficult-to-Survey Species (Python reticulatus) Open
Sustainability of wildlife harvests is critical but difficult to assess. Evaluations of sustainability typically combine modelling with the measurement of underlying abundances. For many taxa harvested in developing countries, however, abu…
