  • Discovering Great Sandy Region Chapter 5 Animals of the Dunes the Animals of Fraser Island and Cooloola Are Not Readily Apparent to the Casual Observer
    DGSR Fauna 1 Discovering Great Sandy Region Chapter 5 Animals of the Dunes The animals of Fraser Island and Cooloola are not readily apparent to the casual observer. The most obvious are birds and dingoes. Despite the obscurity of the fauna it presents an impressive range to those with the patience to explore and discover. This is because much of the fauna is lies buried in the sand or hidden by the great bulk of biomass or else it is either well camouflaged, very timid, or very small. However, it is not necessary to see animals in the wild to be attracted by them. Tens of thousands of anglers are used to searching out invisible targets as they seek the pelagic tailor during the winter months, and bream, whiting trevally and flathead at any time of the year. However, there are many other interesting animals in the sea around Fraser Island and Cooloola than those which delight the anglers. These mammals and reptiles are not the targets of anglers but the subject of much interest of those who are seeking to understand the environment and the many niches in and around Fraser Island and Cooloola. Although Fraser Island and Cooloola lack large populations of bigger terrestrial animals, they boast many rare and unusual species. One study in Cooloola alone identified over 300 species of ants, many new to science. In the aquatic environment the acidity of some of the peaty swamps has been so hostile that a specialized group of frogs known as "acid frogs" has evolved to fill this unique niche.

  • Southwest Pacific Islands: Samoa, Fiji, Vanuatu & New Caledonia Trip Report 11Th to 31St July 2015
    Southwest Pacific Islands: Samoa, Fiji, Vanuatu & New Caledonia Trip Report 11th to 31st July 2015 Orange Fruit Dove by K. David Bishop Trip Report - RBT Southwest Pacific Islands 2015 2 Tour Leaders: K. David Bishop and David Hoddinott Trip Report compiled by Tour Leader: K. David Bishop Tour Summary Rockjumper’s inaugural tour of the islands of the Southwest Pacific kicked off in style with dinner at the Stamford Airport Hotel in Sydney, Australia. The following morning we were soon winging our way north and eastwards to the ancient Gondwanaland of New Caledonia. Upon arrival we then drove south along a road more reminiscent of Europe, passing through lush farmlands seemingly devoid of indigenous birds. Happily this was soon rectified; after settling into our Noumea hotel and a delicious luncheon, we set off to explore a small nature reserve established around an important patch of scrub and mangroves. Here we quickly cottoned on to our first endemic, the rather underwhelming Grey-eared Honeyeater, together with Nankeen Night Herons, a migrant Sacred Kingfisher, White-bellied Woodswallow, Fantailed Gerygone and the resident form of Rufous Whistler. As we were to discover throughout this tour, in areas of less than pristine habitat we encountered several Grey-eared Honeyeater by David Hoddinott introduced species including Common Waxbill. And so began a series of early starts which were to typify this tour, though today everyone was up with added alacrity as we were heading to the globally important Rivierre Bleu Reserve and the haunt of the incomparable Kagu. We drove 1.3 hours to the reserve, passing through a stark landscape before arriving at the appointed time to meet my friend Jean-Marc, the reserve’s ornithologist and senior ranger.

From these, we collected a total of 157 owl pellets. Analysis and examination of the pellets revealed 329 prey items. More in-depth investigation determined that 95.1% of the Eastern Grass Owl pellets collected consisted of mammal remains, while the remaining 4.9% were made up of bird remains. Of the various types of mammals consumed, rats made up the highest proportion, with a total of 285 rats, accounting for 86.6%. This was followed by 27 shrews and moles, accounting for 8.2%. Hares and birds were seldom caught and consumed. The findings suggested that rats are the main food source of the Eastern Grass Owl, with the Spinus Country-rat (Rattus losea) comprising the majority with 136 counted (41.3%), followed by the Formosan Mouse (Mus caroli) with 96 counted (29.2%).

  • The Ecology of Four Owl Species with Particular
    CHAPTER 1: THE ECOLOGY OF FOUR OWL SPECIES WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE GRASS OWL (TYTO CAPENSIS SMITH, 1834) BIOLOGY, HABITAT AND PREY SPECIFICATIONS IN THE EAST RAND HIGHVELD, GAUTENG “Habitats change with time, so that organisms must continually change also in order to adapt” (Maclean, 1990). 1 CHAPTER 1.1: GENERAL BACKGROUND 1.1. GENERAL BACKGROUND A diversity of owls occurs in southern Africa, however this is only 12 of the world’s 135 species. Of these twelve owl species that occur within the sub- continent (Steyn, 1994), four are known to occur in the study area namely the rare African Grass Owl (Tyto capensis), Marsh Owl (Asio capensis), Barn Owl (Tyto alba) and the Spotted Eagle Owl (Bubo africanus) of which the Grass Owl is listed as vulnerable in the Red Data Book. The Barn and Grass owls belong to a genus known as Tyto, the Cape and Spotted Eagle Owls to Bubo, and the Marsh Owls to Asio, which only has one representative in southern Africa (Steyn, 1992). Owls are nocturnal birds of prey that are taxonomically unrelated to the diurnal raptors despite similarities in their predatory habits and weaponry (Steyn, 1984). Owls are separated into two fairly distinct families. The first family is Tytonidae, with typical representatives being T. alba and T. capensis, representing owls of distinct characteristic traits. The most obvious external differences are the general appearance, such as the heart, rather than round shape of the facial disc; the longer skeletal structure and beak; longer legs; longer, more pointed wings and a forked tail.

MYERS3 1Institute for Applied Ecology, University of Canberra, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory 2601 244 Wybalena Grove, Cook, Australian Capital Territory 2614 317A Park Street, Hawthorn, Victoria 3122 Summary Four owl species are said occur on the island of Sumba, Indonesia: Eastern Barn Owl Tyto javanica sumbaensis, Eastern Grass Owl T. longimembris, Sumba Boobook Ninox rudolfi, and the recently discovered Little Sumba Hawk-Owl N. sumbaensis. We describe behaviour, including vocalisations, of all except the Eastern Grass Owl, provide measurements of Eastern Barn Owl and Sumba Boobook specimens, including the first published weights, and the first egg measurements for Eastern Barn Owls on Sumba. We discuss the taxonomy of the Eastern Barn Owl and Sumba Boobook, and support a change of common name for Sumba Boobook to Sumba Hawk-Owl. Studies are urgently needed to determine the status and conservation of all four owl species said to occur on Sumba. Introduction The island of Sumba lies at 10°S and 120°E in the Lesser Sunda chain in south- eastern Indonesia (see Olsen & Trost 2007 for a description). Del Hoyo et al. (1999) listed three owls for Sumba. We add the recently discovered Little Sumba Hawk-Owl Ninox sumbaensis (Olsen, Wink et al. 2002) to Table 1.

Meaney, Mob: +61 422 402 962; Email: [email protected] Key words: raptor, avian, ecosystem service, rodent pest, pest management Running head: Wooden nest box for eastern barn owls Short Summary Avian predators play a key role in rodent pest ecology, but are limited by the availability of nesting resources. This study aimed to design a suitable pole-mounted nesting box for eastern barn owls on remote, house mouse-affected crops in southern Australia, and found that the prototype was successful for barn owl reproduction and observation. This design promotes barn owl welfare, breeding and prey intake whilst maximising minimally-invasive monitoring techniques for future research. 24 Wooden nest box for eastern barn owls K. M. Meaney et al. Abstract Context: The introduced house mouse (Mus domesticus) causes significant economic damage to Australia’s agricultural enterprises. As part of the Great Southern Ark re-wilding project on the southern Yorke Peninsula (SYP), we focused on the eastern barn owl (Tyto alba delicatula) as a potential bio-controller of mice, by providing nesting spaces where natural hollows are limited.

  • REVIEW This Is an Excellent Summary of Many Perplexing Problems That I Recommend to All
