Scattered trees in rural landscapes: foraging habitat for insectivorous bats in south-eastern Australia (2005, background): “Two species not recorded were the southern myotis Myotis macropus, a habitat specialist that forages exclusively over water (Lumsden and Menkhorst, 1995b), and the greater long-eared bat Nyctophilus timoriensis, a rare species in Victoria (Lumsden, 1994).”
Mortality and breeding failure of little penguins, Eudyptula minor, in Victoria, 1995–96, following a widespread mortality of pilchard, Sardinops sagax (2000, background): “…barracouta (Thyrsites atun) and Australian salmon (Arripis truttaceus and A. trutta) also feed on post-larval to large adult pilchards and there is no relationship apparent between prey and predator sizes (Hoedt et al. 1995); marine mammals also eat pilchards to a varying extent (Menkhorst 1995).”
A review of feeding and diet selection in koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) (2000, unknown): “viminalis to be highly preferred (Lithgow 1980; Hindell 1984; Menkhorst 1995), Hindell et al.”
Analysis of factors implicated in the recent decline of Australia's mammal fauna (2007, background): “Unfortunately, reliable data on these traits (Oli & Dobson, 2005) are not yet available for most Australian species, and were never recorded for key extinct species, such as Chaeropus ecaudatus, Bettongia pusilla, Leporillus apicalis and Notomys amplus (e.g. Troughton, 1967; Watts & Aslin, 1981; Men”
