An operational definition of the biome for global change research
(Wiley Online, 2020)Biomes are constructs for organising knowledge on the structure and functioning of the world’s ecosystems, and serve as useful units for monitoring how the biosphere responds to anthropogenic drivers, including climate ... -
Educating the enemy : harnessing learned avoidance behavior in wild predators to increase survival of reintroduced southern corroboree frogs
(Wiley, 2019)After decades of near-complete extirpation, the yellow-and-black-striped Southern Corroboree Frog (Pseudophryne corroboree) is being reintroduced into field enclosures that exclude all but avian predators. The frog's long ... -
Volume is related to surface-area-to-volume across Centrobolus Cook, 1897 species
(UIJIR, 2022-11)In this paper I test for a relationship between volume (size) and surface-area-to-volume ratios in red millipedes Centrobolus Cook, 1897. Volume was not related to surface-area-to-volume ratios in males (r=-0.28357370, Z ... -

(IJESIRD, 2022-12)In this paper, I check for correlations between the sex ratio for males and females and humidity in red millipedes Centrobolus Cook, 1897. I found correlations between sex ratio and humidity (r=-0.68, Z score=-1.87, n=8, ... -
Sex ratio varies with rainy days in red millipedes Centrobolus Cook, 1897
(IJESIRD, 2022-12)In this paper, I check for correlations between the sex ratio for males and females and rainy days in red millipedes Centrobolus Cook, 1897. I found correlations between sex ratio and rainy days (r=0.68, Z score=1.87, ... -
Sex ratio varies with average sun hours in red millipedes Centrobolus Cook, 1897
(IJESIRD, 2022-12)In this paper, I check for correlations between the sex ratio for males and females and average Sun hours in red millipedes Centrobolus Cook, 1897. I found correlations between sex ratio and average Sun hours (r=-0.68, ... -
Is mass correlated with length among red millipedes Centrobolus Cook, 1897?
(Munis Entomology & Zoology., 2023-01)Body mass variation was correlated with male and female length in the red millipede genus Centrobolus. Mass and length (r=0.86, Z score=2.87, n=8, p<0.01) in males (r=0.97, Z score=2.99, n=5, p<0.01) and females (r=0.96, ... -
The highest daily hours of sunshine are related to longitude across the distribution of pill millipedes Sphaerotherıum Brandt, 1833.
(Munis Entomology & Zoology., 2023-01)The objectives of this study were to determine what happened when Sexual Size Dimorphism (SSD) and body size changed with an eco-geographical factor. The highest daily hours of sunshine were correlated with latitude and ... -
SURFACE-AREA-TO-VOLUME IS RELATED TO SEXUAL SIZE DIMORPHISM ACROSS CENTROBOLUS COOK, 1897
(UIJIR, 2022-11)In this paper I test for a relationship between sexual size dimorphism (SSD) and surface-area-to-volume ratios in red millipedes Centrobolus Cook, 1897. SSD was related to surface-area-to-volume ratios in males (r=-0.39, ... -
TARSAL PAD LENGTHS ARE RELATED TO SURFACE-AREA-TO-VOLUME RATIOS IN CENTROBOLUS COOK, 1897
(UIJIR, 2022-11)Red millipedes (Centrobolus) have elongated tarsal pads. I tested for a relationship between tarsal pad length and surface-area-to-volume ratio and surface area in red millipedes Centrobolus. Specimens were fixed, first ... -
