Hitler writes a children’s book, scratches his name off and hides it among the others. Now children grow up blue and blond, unable to control their minds, the hidden taint in friendly balloons and curious caterpillars wormed itself inside and reprogrammed them into literary sleeper agents ready to steal our freedom. The swine! We never saw it coming. If only authors were dead. But if authors were dead you wouldn’t be able to find them, to sit at their side and learn all they had to say on art and beautiful things, on who is wrong and who is right, on what is allowed and what is ugly and what should be done about this and that. We would have only words and pictures on a page, if we can’t fill in the periphery with context then how will we understand anything? If they don’t tell us what to enjoy, how to correctly enjoy it, then how will we know? Who is right and who is mad? Whose ideas are poisonous and wrong? Call to arms! Stop that! Help me! We must slather ourselves in their selfish juices. -

Life history data on fire-specialists, including longevity, are needed to develop tools to assist fire management for conservation. We used skeletochronology to estimate the age of individuals of three South Australian fire-specialist lizard species: Amphibolurus norrisi (Agamidae), Ctenotus atlas (Scincidae) and Nephrurus stellatus (Gekkonidae). -
Reintroducing the Dingo: the Risk of Dingo Predation to Threatened Vertebrates of Western New South Wales
CSIRO PUBLISHING Wildlife Research http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/WR11128 Reintroducing the dingo: the risk of dingo predation to threatened vertebrates of western New South Wales B. L. Allen A,C and P. J. S. Fleming B AThe University of Queensland, School of Animal Studies, Gatton, Qld 4343, Australia. BVertebrate Pest Research Unit, NSW Department of Primary Industries, Orange Agricultural Institute, Forest Road, Orange, NSW 2800, Australia. CCorresponding author. Present address: Vertebrate Pest Research Unit, NSW Department of Primary Industries, Sulfide Street, Broken Hill, NSW 2880, Australia. Email: [email protected] Abstract Context. The reintroduction of dingoes into sheep-grazing areas south-east of the dingo barrier fence has been suggested as a mechanism to suppress fox and feral-cat impacts. Using the Western Division of New South Wales as a case study, Dickman et al. (2009) recently assessed the risk of fox and cat predation to extant threatened species and concluded that reintroducing dingoes into the area would have positive effects for most of the threatened vertebrates there, aiding their recovery through trophic cascade effects. However, they did not formally assess the risk of dingo predation to the same threatened species. Aims. To assess the risk of dingo predation to the extant and locally extinct threatened vertebrates of western New South Wales using methods amenable to comparison with Dickman et al. (2009). Methods. The predation-risk assessment method used in Dickman et al. (2009) for foxes and cats was applied here to dingoes, with minor modification to accommodate the dietary differences of dingoes. This method is based on six independent biological attributes, primarily reflective of potential vulnerability characteristics of the prey. -

A taxonomic framework for typhlopid snakes from the Caribbean and other regions (Reptilia, Squamata). Caribbean Herpetology 49:1–61. Abstract The evolutionary history and taxonomy of worm-like snakes (scolecophidians) continues to be refined as new molec- ular data are gathered and analyzed. Here we present additional evidence on the phylogeny of these snakes, from morphological data and 489 new DNA sequences, and propose a new taxonomic framework for the family Typhlopi- dae. Of 257 named species of typhlopid snakes, 92 are now placed in molecular phylogenies along with 60 addition- al species yet to be described. Afrotyphlopinae subfam. nov. is distributed almost exclusively in sub-Saharan Africa and contains three genera: Afrotyphlops, Letheobia, and Rhinotyphlops. Asiatyphlopinae subfam. nov. is distributed in Asia, Australasia, and islands of the western and southern Pacific, and includes ten genera:Acutotyphlops, Anilios, Asiatyphlops gen. -
Survey of Reptiles and Amphibians at Bimblebox Nature Reserve - Queensland
Summary of an Observational Survey of Reptiles and Amphibians at Bimblebox Nature Reserve - Queensland Graham Armstrong – May, 2016 Objective - to provide an updated and more complete list of the herpetofauna recorded from Bimblebox Nature Refuge. Approach - 1. Review available data and records pertaining to the herpetofauna at Bimblebox Nature Refuge. 2. Visit Bimblebox Nature Refuge during Spring, Summer and Autumn seasons to make observational and photographic records of the herpetofauna observed. Methodology - In order to maximise the number of species recorded, 3 successive 2.5 day visits were made to BNR, one in September 2015, Jan 2016 and the end of April 2016. This approach potentially broadens the range of weather conditions experienced and hence variety of reptiles and amphibians encountered when compared to a single field visit. Survey methodology involved walking and driving around the nature refuge during the day and after dark (with the aid of a head torch to detect eye-shine). Active reptiles including those that ran for or from cover while passing by were recorded. Frequently, in situ photographic evidence of individuals was obtained and the photographs are available for the purpose of corroborating identification. To avoid any double counting of individual animals the Refuge was traversed progressively and the locations of animals were recorded using a GPS. During any one visit no area was traversed twice and when driving along tracks, reptiles were only recorded the first time a track was traversed unless a new species was detected at a later time. Available Records The most detailed list of reptiles and amphibians recorded as occurring on Bimblebox Nature Reserve comes from the standardised trapping program of Eric Vanderduys of CSIRO in Townsville.
