Abstract:

A total of 9 brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula) were trained to perform a two-manipulanda, conditional discrimination task. The possums learned to press a right lever in the presence of a tone (80 dB(A)) during tone-on trials, and a left lever in the absence of the tone on tone-off trials. Overall sessions of 11 conditions contained tone frequency between 100 Hz and 35 kHz were tested. Each condition contained training and then probe sessions. In training sessions, the possums were presented with tone-on and tone-off trials, pseudo-randomly. Once the possums responded with over 90

Abstract:

Aerial control using 1080 (sodium monofluoroacetate) baits is widely used in New Zealand for the control of introduced brushtail possums (Trichosurus vulpecula), with the aim of protecting national conservation and agricultural values from these damaging pests. This thesis integrates research, completed over 25 years, that was motivated by growing recognition in the 1970s of the extent of possum impacts and the need to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the control operation. Field research assessed the palatability of three types of cereal-based pellet baits and carrot baits in diffe

The marsupial family Pseudocheiridae is currently known from seventeen species of six genera in Australia and New Guinea. These small to medium-sized arboreal animals are nocturnal and folivorous.

The single largest collection of pseudocheirid fossils has been recovered from the Oligo-Miocene freshwater carbonates of the Riversleigh World Heritage Area in northwest Queensland.

Honey possums were radio tracked through an area affected with P. cinnamomi as well as healthy areas to determine the extent to which habitat utilisation is impacted on. This will then allow for a more robust prediction of how further spread of P. cinnamomi is likely to impact on honey possums in

Abstract:

This thesis is about making inference on the host status of feral ferrets in New Zealand for Mycobacterium bovis, the aetiological agent of bovine tuberculosis. The central question addressed is whether the rate of intra-specific transmission of M. bovis among ferrets is sufficient for the disease to persist in ferret populations in the absence of external, non-ferret sources of infection (inter-specific transmission). The question is tackled in three parts�firstly using model selection to identify suitable models for estimating the force of M. bovis infection in ferret populations; secondly a

Successful development of a biocontrol agent (most likely a protein or peptide macromolecule) requires identification of a compound that is species-specific and potent.

Abstract:

This study investigates the ecology of one of the best known Australian marsupials, the Common Brushtail Possum Trichosurus vulpecula, in central Australia. Trichosurus vulpecula is one of few medium-sized mammal species that persist in arid Australia today. Its distribution within the arid zone has declined markedly since European settlement. Two populations, one within the East MacDonnell Ranges along the Hale River and the other on Irving Creek, a River Red Gum creek in the Petermann Ranges, were studied in the southern Northern Territory. Others locations in the region were visited opportu

Parte destas espÃcies exÃticas tornamse invasoras e podem gerar impactos para a biodiversidade nativa. Fragmentos de vegetaÃÃo nas zonas urbanas sofrem invasÃes biolÃgicas, que se acumulam com o passar do tempo e modificam a estrutura e a composiÃÃo dos ecossistemas. Estudos sobre bioinvasÃo mostram que as bordas sÃo o habitat preferencial para a colonizaÃÃo por espÃcies adaptadas a distÃrbios. Assim,

Abstract:

A major focus of my visual art practice has been to contribute to the un-silencing of family and Australian Indigenous community histories and heritage. Un-silencing is my term to describe the personal and political acts needed to undo colonial structures and thinking. As a part of this undoing or decolonising, I have sought to share knowledges and to pass on information and skills through reinvigorating the art of Indigenous possum skin cloak-making in South-East Queensland. Little research or writing about Australian Aboriginal possum skin cloak-making exists, which is partly because of the

Abstract:

Este trabalho se inicia com uma cena que aconteceu durante uma intervenção realizada com um grupo de crianças, alunos de uma classe especial em uma Escola Estadual. O objetivo desta intervenção foi modificar as relações, muitas vezes cristalizadas, que essas crianças mantinham na classe especial. Após o relato desta experiência e de algumas versões das crianças em relação ao fato de serem consideradas alunos especiais, são feitas reflexões sobre a intervenção realizada. Utilizando um pensamento e uma prática acategóricos, a diferença é afirmada como positividade e tendência e não como anormali

Abstract:

The antebellum American South was a site of continual human mobility and social fluidity. This cultivated a pattern of cultural exchange between black, indigenous, and white Southerners, especially in the Old Southwest, making the region a cultural borderland as well as a geographical one. This environment resulted in the creolization of many aspects of life in the region. to date, the literature of the Old South has yet to be studied in this context. This project traces the diffusion of African-American and Native American culture in white-authored Southern texts.;For instance, textual eviden

Abstract:

Com o avanço das técnicas analíticas, tem sido possível estudadar redes neurais atratoras onde cada unidade de processamento é conectada com um número finito de vizinhos, sendo que esse número independe do tamanho do sistema. Aplicamos essas técnicas ao estudo de redes atratoras com padrões que possuem uma quebra de simetria sobre o número de bits ativos e quiscentes. O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a capacidade da rede neural em armazenar padrões com atividade não nula, uma vez que a conectividade por neurônio é finita. Inicialmente, apresentamos os modelos predecessores de redes atratora

Abstract:

Based on a valuable testing venue in China where listed companies are required to disclose corporate site visit records of financial analyst to the public, this study examines whether analysts will learn from visiting analysts' forecasts that contain superior private information. I find that visiting forecasts tend to attract more analysts to issue forecasts in their aftermath than the prior forecasts issued by the same analysts but without conducting corporate site visit (non-visiting forecasts). The following effect is weaker when the visiting forecasts are more informative. In addition, oth
