For each species and genus, it provides a clear guide to pronunciation, the derivation and significance of the component parts of the name, and the citation that identifies its earliest valid description. This unique work includes biographical notes on fifty-one zoologists who, over the past three centuries, have named Australian and New Guinean mammals. The book also includes an account of the principles and practices of zoological nomenclature, together with a comprehensive bibliography and an index of common names. Dictionary of Australian and New Guinean Mammals is an invaluable reference for mammal researchers and students, as well as anyone interested in natural history.

Download or read book Taxonomy of Australian Mammals written by Stephen Jackson and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 981 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taxonomy of Australian Mammals utilises the latest morphometric and genetic research to develop the most up to date and comprehensive revision of the taxonomy of Australian mammals undertaken to date. It proposes significant changes to the higher ranks of a number of groups and recognises several genera and species that have only very recently been identified as distinct. This easy to use reference also includes a complete listing of all species, subspecies and synonyms for all of Australia’s mammals, both native and introduced as well as terrestrial and marine. This book lays a foundation for future taxonomic work and identifies areas where taxonomic studies should be targeted, not only at the species and subspecies level but also broader phylogenetic relationships. This work will be an essential reference for students, scientists, wildlife managers and those interested in the science of taxonomy.

A risk taker, she likes living life on the edge and in this adventure-packed memoir, you'll discover how in the remote forests, deserts, and oceans of Australia, she sidestepped death not once but multiple times. If you fear snakes, spiders, sharks or dogs, this book is for you.These stories span her childhood to adult encounters. They include incidents while traveling with her family to remote locations in Australia, to close calls with wild animals during biological fieldwork in Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory. Other incidents happened while surfing and riding her beloved horse. Myfanwy's curiosity and depth of understanding the behaviour of animals, is reflected in the way she describes these contacts with wild animals. Her stories interweave a love of animals and nature, with adrenalin and adventure. Reviews ?Maria said of Cujo- the Attack "I could picture it as if I was there".?John said of El Toro - "Very clever and brave - El bloody Toro made me laugh aloud. What amazing bush experiences of wildness you have had - so exceedingly rare - I am jealous. I also learnt that you need agility to catch Rock Possums, so that's one career lost to me."?Ben - "Great stories about spideys, I love them myself!"?Bronwyn said of Eaten Alive- "Fantastic story!"?Angela said of Eaten Alive - "Oh wow a compelling story! Interesting behaviours demonstrated in the part of both fish and human!"

Download or read book Into Oblivion? written by James Andrew Fitzsimons and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since European settlement, the deepest loss of Australian biodiversity has been the spate of extinctions of endemic mammals. Historically, these losses occurred mostly in inland and in temperate parts of the country and largely between 1890 and 1950. A new wave of extinctions is now threatening Australian mammals, this time in northern Australia, and the main drivers are too much fire and predation by feral cats. This publication seeks to alert the Australian community and decision makers to this urgent issue and provides some answers.

Download or read book A Bat's End written by John Woinarski and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the evening of 26 August 2009, the last known pipistrelle emerges from its day-time shelter on Christmas Island. Scientists, desperate about its conservation, set up a maze of netting to try to catch it. It is a forlorn and futile exercise – even if captured, there is little future in just one bat. But the bat evades the trap easily, and continues foraging. It is not recorded again that night, and not at all the next night. The bat is never again recorded. The scientists search all nearby areas over the following nights. It has gone. There are no more bats. Its corpse is not, will never be, found. It is the silent, unobtrusive death of the last individual. It is extinction. This book is about that bat, about those scientists, about that island. But mostly it is an attempt to understand that extinction; an unusual extinction, because it was predicted, witnessed and its timing is precise. A Bat's End is a compelling forensic examination of the circumstances and players surrounding the extinction of the Christmas Island pipistrelle. A must-read for environmental scientists, policy-makers, and organisations and individuals with an interest in conservation.
