Term Monitoring

To maximize long-term average reproductive success, individuals can diversify the phenotypes of offspring produced within a reproductive event by displaying the ‘coin-flipping’ tactic. Wild boar (Sus scrofa scrofa) females have been reported to adopt this tactic. However, whether the magnitude of developmental plasticity within a litter depends on stochasticity in food resources has not been yet investigated. From long-term monitoring, we found that juvenile females produced similar-sized fetuses within a litter independent of food availability. By contrast, adult females adjusted their relative allocation to littermates to the amount of food resources, by providing a similar allocation to all littermates in years of poor food resources but producing highly diversified offspring phenotypes within a litter in years of abundant food resources. By minimizing sibling rivalry, such a plastic reproductive tactic allows adult wild boar females to maximize the number of littermates for a given breeding event.

We document predation of aestivating bogong moths (Agrotis infusa) by wild pigs (Sus scrofa) at a location in the Australian Alps. This is the first known record of pigs preying on bogong moths. Wild pigs are recent colonisers of the region, though already the population appears seasonally habituated to foraging on aestivating moths. This is indicative of adaptation of a feral animal undertaking dietary resource switching within what is now a modified ecosystem and food web. The significance of this predation on moth abundance is unclear. Long-term monitoring to compare numbers of moths with historical surveys undertaken before the colonisation by wild pigs will require that they are excluded from aestivation sites. Our surveys in 2014–15 observed bogong moths to arrive about one month earlier compared with a similar survey in 1951–52, though to also depart earlier.

The bilby (Macrotis lagotis) is listed as Vulnerable in Australia, is strictly nocturnal and shy, and it has proven difficult to estimate its population abundance. The aim of this study was to determine methodology that would reliably estimate the abundance of the bilby within an enclosure at Currawinya National Park, south-west Queensland. We estimated the abundance of bilbies on long-term monitoring plots by counting pellets comparing two methods: counting standing odorous pellets using distance sampling and counting newly deposited pellets (FAR). Pellet deposition rate and decay rate were also estimated to enable population estimation using distance sampling. The density of odorous (<14 days old) standing pellets and old pellets was highest in October 2011 and dropped dramatically when plots were revisited in March 2012 and July 2012. Counting standing pellets using distance sampling provided a rigorous estimate of abundance of bilbies at Currawinya. Bilby density and pellet deposition rates were too low for the FAR method to accurately or precisely estimate bilby density. A population crash within the enclosure following an invasion of feral cats was mirrored by a dramatic decrease in pellet density. Incorporating detectability into abundance estimation should be carefully considered for conservation purposes.
