This thesis demonstrates how tidal changes in the availability of intertidal zone habitats can affect the distribution and behaviour of juvenile pollock (Pollachius virens). Schools of pollock moved from the subtidal zone to the open habitat in the intertidal zone. On rising tides, pollock switched from the open habitat at low tidal stages to the dense algal habitat at high tidal stages. On falling tides, pollock rapidly schooled downshore in the open habitat. Pollock were rarely solitary in the open habitat and usually formed large schools. In the algal habitats, pollock were usually disperse

With over half the world's population now living in cities, urban areas represent one of earth's few ecosystems that are increasing in extent, and are sites of altered biogeochemical cycles, habitat fragmentation, and changes in biodiversity. However, urban green spaces, including green roofs, can also provide important pools of biodiversity and contribute to regional gamma diversity, while novel species assemblages can enhance some ecosystem services. Green roofs may also mitigate species loss in urban areas and have been shown to support a surprising diversity of invertebrates, including rar

Anthropogenic habitat modification is a significant threat to the conservation or global biodiversity. The fragmentation and alteration of woodland habitat has resulted in the substantial decline of many woodland bird species in the agricultural regions of southern Australia. The Rufous Treecreeper Climacteris rufaa, a once common woodland resident, has declined in abundance in the wheatbelt of Western Australia and appears to be sensitive to habitat fragmentation. The reasons for this are unclear because our knowledge of the species and the threats posed by fragmentation arc limited. In this

The dispersal of freshwater fishes in the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa has been attributed to river capture events and confluence of rivers during sea level regression. The role of low drainage divides and inter-basin water transfers have received less attention. A unique lineage of Galaxias zebratus (hereafter the Joubertina galaxias) occurs in two currently isolated river systems, the Gamtoos and Krom. The present study mapped the distribution of the Joubertina galaxias and used mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences to assess the processes that could have influenced its current di

The Eastern Cape contains the majority of the remaining forested areas in South Africa (95.8 percent Coastal forests and 47.6 percent Afromontane forests), however these occur in fragments. Due to the rapid rise in the human population and its needs, conversion of forests to agricultural land and the extraction of timber increases, natural vegetation are lost and this therefore leads to forests becoming fragmented into small forest patches. One of the main consequences of forest fragmentation is loss of contiguous habitat, which is the dominant threat to species globally as it negatively affec

<p> As replacement and removal of undersized culverts gains momentum as an effective technique for restoring natural stream flows and removing fish passage barriers, it is important to evaluate the benefits of these efforts on the in-stream and adjacent riparian habitat for other species of potential concern. This study compares stream-associated amphibian (SAA) occurrence in streams adjacent to different road crossing structures on unpaved forest roads in the Wilson River watershed located within the Tillamook State Forest, Oregon. Surveys were conducted at road crossing structures for three

La biologie de la conservation est une discipline de crise qui se trouve constamment confrontée au manque de données concrètes sur l’éco-éthologie des espèces. La destruction du milieu forestier est la cause majeure de la disparition des espèces dans le monde alors qu’en Europe et Amérique du nord, c’est surtout la destruction des bosquets, des arbres isolés et des haies qui met la survie des populations en danger. Afin d’obtenir des nouvelles connaissances sur l’impact de cette fragmentation de l’habitat, j’ai choisi comme modèle d’étude une espèce considérée comme inféodée aux forêts et reco

Habitat loss has been a large contributing factor in the decline in abundance of many fauna species in Australia. Ground-dwelling mammals are particularly susceptible to this threat and with the increase in urbanisation, there is a pressing need to conserve species that remain in these environments. The quenda (Isoodon fusciventer) is one of the remaining native mammals that persists in the metropolitan area of Western Australia. With the quenda’s recent upgrade to species level, existing information on this species is often extrapolated from eastern sub-species of the southern brown bandicoot

This project was aimed at investigating behaviour and condition of the Yellow-breasted Boubou, Laniarius atroflavus, in response to habitat differences across core, edge and riparian Afro-montane forest habitats at the Ngel Nyaki Forest Reserve, Nigeria. This species is little known and conservation effort will require direction in identifying the habitat of best quality for their survival. The determination of habitat association using correspondence analysis of census data suggested strongest association with the riparian habitat, even though this habitat held the least overall avian biodive
