Abstract:

This thesis investigates historical and current dispersal in Mixophyes fleayi, an endangered, wet forest-restricted frog species, found exclusively on the Great Dividing Range of mid-eastern Australia. The phylogeographic structuring and genetic divergence among isolated forest fragments and the presence of multiple populations within continuous forest is used to investigate historical connectivity of populations and current dispersal. Indirect genetic methods as well as field based direct methods are also used to investigate dispersal and movement. These results are used to explore the conseq

Abstract:

Many species are threatened by rapidly changing climate and amphibians may be particularly vulnerable. As ectotherms, all aspects of amphibian physiology and life history are directly or indirectly influenced by temperature and moisture. For amphibian conservation, a clear priority is to investigate impacts of climate change on key environmental parameters within breeding habitats, as well as the ecology of threatened species. This information is vital for assessing species vulnerability to climate change and informing conservation efforts. Wallum frogs are species that are restricted to natu

Abstract:

Anurans rely mainly on vocalizations for mate attraction while urodeles rely mainly on pheromones. However, the presence of breeding glands suggests that anurans may also communicate with pheromones during reproduction. Previous studies have shown that male Hymenochirus sp. are able to attract females in a Y-maze, most likely through chemical means, but the source of the attractant has not been identified. By exposing female Hymenochirus sp. to choice tests in a Y -maze it was demonstrated that the breeding glands of male Hymenochirus sp. are the source of a mate-attractant pheromone. This stu

Abstract:

In frogs, part of the important immune defence system of their skin is the secretion of antimicrobial peptides from granular glands.

The natural peptide mixture of skin peptides was collected from skin secretions of three semi-aquatic Litoria frog species L. aurea, L. raniformis and L. ewingii and aquatic Xenopus laevis and assayed for activity ag

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] Southwestern Australia is a global biodiversity hotspot. The region contains a high number of endemic species, ranging from Gondwanan relicts to more recently evolved plant and animal species. Biogeographic models developed primarily for plants suggest a prominent role of Quaternary climatic fluctuations in the rampant speciation of endemic plants. Those models were not based on explicit spatial analysis of genetic structure, did not estimate divergence dates and may be a poor predictor of patterns in endemic vertebrates. Myobatrachid frogs have featured heavily in the lim

Abstract:

Amphibians have existed on Earth for more than 300 million years. Most amphibians can survive in a wild range of living environments. Some of their living environments are fulfilled with pathogen microorganisms. The skin of amphibians produces a complex noxious/toxic chemical cocktail from specialised granular glands to against these microorganisms. This thesis describes several novel bioactive peptides which were identified from the skin secretions of the Chinese Bamboo odorous frog, Odorrana versabilis, the Chinese Black-spotted Pond frog, Pelophylax nigromaculatus and the Eurasian edible fr

Abstract:

Tree frogs adhere to surfaces using their toe pads. These pads secrete a fluid which enables them to adhere using a temporary adhesive mechanism known as wet adhesion. In keeping with the principles that govern this type of mechanism, the toe pads should be capable of adhering sufficiently and detaching effortlessly. However, the vast majority of research in this area has centred on static experiments, thus giving no real indication of the dynamic activity of the animal. Therefore, one aspect of this PhD project was to investigate the biomechanics of tree frog locomotion, focussing particularl

Normal male dwarf African clawed frogs, Hymenochirus sp., possess bilateral, sexually dimorphic, subcutaneous breeding glands just posterior to the forelimbs. Previous studies have shown these glands release pheromones that attract conspecific females. This thesis shows the pheromones also stimulate the reproductive system of conspecific females. Females exposed to normal males prior to mating then allowed to mate with the normal males released a higher number of eggs than females who were not exposed to normal males prior to mating.

Most theoretical models predict an optimal offspring size that maximises parental fitness. Variation in the quality of the offspring environment can result in multiple offspring size optima and therefore variation of offspring provisioning can evolve. Variation in offspring provisioning is common and found across a variety of taxa. It can be defined as between populations, explained by optimality models, or between and within individuals, neither so easily explained by optimality models.

Acoustic interactions between neighbours led to modification of call structure and timing, and wrestling matches between males were frequent.
