Abstract:
Drinking alcohol is a normal behavior in many societies, and prior studies have demonstrated it has both genetic and environmental sources of variation. Using two very large samples of twins and their first-degree relatives (Australia ≈ 20,000 individuals from 8,019 families; Virginia ≈ 23,000 from 6,042 families), we examine whether there are differences: (1) in the genetic and environmental factors that influence four interrelated drinking behaviors (quantity, frequency, age of initiation, and number of drinks in the last week), (2) between the twin-only design and the extended twin design,

This study compares self-reported physical activities and selected health behaviors (i.e., participation in physical activity, alcohol and cigarette use, perceived level of energy, and satisfaction with body weight) of a sample of seventh and ninth grade adolescents from Australia and the United States. A modified version of the Personal Wellness Profile 400™ (PWP 400) was used to measure adolescents' participation in physical activity and health behaviors. Five of the seven items studied showed significant differences ( p < .05). Ninety-seven percent of Australian adolescents reported they

Abstract:
The drinking behaviour of four captive emus Dromaius novaehollandiae Latham 1790 was examined at the CSIRO Laboratory, Helena Valley, Western Australia. Considerable individual variation was found in the amount of water each emu drank daily, but for each bird the amount drunk was positively correlated with daily ambient maximum temperature. There was also considerable variation between individual birds in the number of sips of water taken daily, in the mean size of each sip and in the distribution of the size of sips taken in each drinking bout. Variability in drinking behaviour has been repor

Abstract:
Globally, many Indigenous people rely on surface waters for drinking due to limited access to safe or palatable water, cultural and spiritual reasons and belief in its healing properties. In northern Australia, Indigenous people from the remote community Ngukurr have raised concerns about drinking water from freshwater billabongs due to potential microbial contamination from feral ungulates (buffalo, pig, horse and cattle). In response to these concerns, a cross-cultural assessment of water quality and drinking water safety was undertaken. Indigenous biocultural indicators of water quality and

Abstract:
This qualitative study aimed to understand whether pictorial and graphic alcohol warnings would be an effective intervention to reduce alcohol-related harms among young adult drinkers. Four focus groups ( n = 26) were conducted examining impressions, reactions, and thoughts about five pictorial warnings and five graphic warnings. Students (58% female) from Melbourne, Australia, aged 18 to 25 years who consumed alcohol participated. The warnings used in this study elicited strong negative emotional reactions, including avoidance. While the use of images increased the salience of the warnings, p

Abstract:
The impact of camel usage at a small rockhole (‘X’) on the Petermann Aboriginal Land Trust was evaluated from May 2007 through to July 2008. Camel usage and impacts were determined through multiple methods including ground cover, vegetation and macroinvertebrate surveys and through the use of surveillance cameras and depth loggers. Camels appear to use X most heavily in periods when rainfall is scant and more at night than during the day. However, in long periods with little or no rainfall, it appears that camels use X heavily during the day and night and there is little chance for X to re-fil

There is a growing body of scientific literature examining the effects of alcohol mixed with energy drink (AMED) on alcohol consumption and related negative consequences, such as risky behavior or negative health effects. It is unknown whether differences in cultural context may influence these AMED effects. The current cross-cultural study compared the data of N = 6881 students from The Netherlands (N = 4424), UK (N = 1594), and Australia (N = 863). Demographics, alcohol consumption, its consequences, and motives for AMED consumption were assessed. Analyses included (a) between-groups compari

Abstract:
Effective management of sediment fluxes in aquatic systems involves, in part, the identification of catchment sediment sources. Lake Wivenhoe (LW), the largest water storage in south-east Queensland, serves two important roles: it supplies 80% of the drinking water to the region and acts as a major flood mitigation feature for the city of Brisbane. Highly developed subcatchments in LW have resulted in declining waterway health, with sediment movement from the catchment to LW of major concern. Although there is considerable hydrological information, only limited data exist on sediment and nutri

The aim of this study was to explore a broad range of high risk behaviours amongst the Muslim community in Australia. Social supports, decision making and lifestyle factors were also investigated. Previous studies have found religiosity to be a protective factor for risk behaviours. However few studies have examined a broad variety of risk behaviours, particularly in the Muslim community. Respondents for this study included 149 adults who identified as Muslims and participated in an online survey adapted from that used by (Abbott-Chapman & Denholm, 2001; Abbott-Chapman, Denholm, & Wyld, 2008a,

Why do some adolescents who participate in extracurricular sport benefit, whereas others do not? There is extensive research outlining the role sport plays in positive adolescent development (Barber, Abbott, Blomfield, & Eccles, 2009; Feldman & Majasko, 2005; Marsh & Kleitman, 2002). Despite this, findings also point to links between sport and risky behaviour, specifically alcohol use (Eccles & Barber, 1999; Modecki, Barber, & Eccles, 2014). To develop a more nuanced understanding of the sport context and explain this diversity of outcomes, this thesis examines individual differences among ado

Abstract:
Alcohol consumption is commonplace in Australia and its use is linked to approximately 5,500 deaths per annum. Despite findings that the majority of harms are due to long-term consumption, interventions have predominantly focussed on reducing short-term harms. The Transtheoretical Model (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1982) suggests that behaviour change requires recognition and contemplation of the impact of a behaviour on valued health outcomes. This thesis examines the level of community awareness about the long-term harms of consumption, for the self and for children and adolescents, as a first s

Abstract Domesticated Australian Zebra Finches are the avian model of choice in many behavioural investigations. In this chapter I will first describe the relevant behaviour of free-living birds and then consider the more scientifically rigorous observations from the laboratory. Non-social behaviour of Zebra Finches, other than feeding and drinking (Chapters 4 and 5), is more or less the same as that found in other small passerines and is not dealt with here. I have listed non-social behaviours observed in wild birds in an ‘ethogram’ in Appendix 3. Finally, vocal behaviour and sexual preferenc
