Molecular and morphological assessment of the Liopholis inornata (Rosén, 1905) species group (Reptilia: Squamata: Scincidae), with descriptions of two new species from northern Western Australia Open
Molecular genetic and morphological assessments were undertaken on the Liopholis inornata species group of skinks that occur on sandy soils in both mesic and arid regions of Australia. The primary objective was the taxonomic identification…

Feral cat predation of the threatened Pilbara leaf-nosed bat – a key threatening process Open
Feral cat predation is recognised as a significant threat to Australian wildlife that has contributed to population declines and extinctions. Cat predation of bats worldwide is a growing concern, though there are few studies focusing on Au…

Species-specific SNP arrays for non-invasive genetic monitoring of a vulnerable bat Open
Genetic tagging from scats is one of the minimally invasive sampling (MIS) monitoring approaches commonly used to guide management decisions and evaluate conservation efforts. Microsatellite markers have traditionally been used but are pro…

The mammal fauna of Kofiau Island, off western New Guinea Open
Kofiau’s terrestrial mammal fauna shares many taxa with oceanic islands lying close to New Guinea. Its fauna is distinctive in possessing a mixture of Moluccan near-endemics, such as Pteropus chrysoproctus, along with Melanesian species, l…

Close-kin mark-recapture informs critically endangered terrestrial mammal status Open
Reliable information on population size is fundamental to the management of threatened species. For wild species, mark-recapture methods are a cornerstone of abundance estimation. Here, we show the first application of the close-kin mark-r…

Species richness and community structure of bats along a forest elevational transect in Papua New Guinea Open
Over the past decades, elevational gradients have become a powerful tool with which to understand the underlying cause(s) of biodiversity. The Mt. Wilhelm elevational transect is one such example, having been used to study the birds, insec…

Sheath-tailed bats (Chiroptera: Emballonuridae) from the early Pleistocene Rackham’s Roost Site, Riversleigh World Heritage Area, and the distribution of northern Australian emballonurid species Open
Sheath-tailed bats (Family Emballonuridae) from the early Pleistocene Rackham’s Roost Site cave deposit in the Riversleigh World Heritage Area, north-western Queensland are the oldest recorded occurrence for the family in Australia. The fo…

Splendor Without Spoil: Restoring tidal channel habitat on Swishwash Island Open
Restoration of estuarine and tidal marsh habitats in Canada’s Fraser River estuary is imperative for the conservation and recovery of select depressed Pacific salmon populations and the many species that depend on them. In the 1930’s throu…

A common name for the bat family Rhinonycteridae—the Trident Bats Open
Recent elevation in the rank of J.E. Gray’s (1866) ‘Leaf-nosed Bats’ the Rhinonycterina to family level recognised the phylogenetic uniqueness of bats in the extant genera Cloeotis, Paratriaenops, Rhinonicteris and Triaenops, and the fossi…

Cranial shape variation and phylogenetic relationships of extinct and extant Old World leaf-nosed bats Open
The leaf-nosed bats in Hipposideridae and Rhinonycteridae currently have an Old World tropical to subtropical distribution, with a fossil record extending back to the middle Eocene of Europe. The Riversleigh World Heritage fossil site in n…

Using genetic data to predict the vulnerability of a native predator to a toxic invader Open
Australia has no native toad species, and as a consequence, many Australian predators lack resistance to the toxins of the invasive cane toad Rhinella marina, and die if they ingest one of these toads. Resistance is conferred by a small an…
