FINDING FOOD IN A NOVEL ENVIRONMENT: THE DIET OF A REINTRODUCED ENDANGERED MESO-PREDATOR TO MAINLAND AUSTRALIA, WITH NOTES ON FORAGING BEHAVIOUR.

Finding food in a novel environment: The diet of a reintroduced endangered meso-predator to mainland Australia, with notes on foraging behaviour.

Translocated captive-bred predators are less skilled at hunting than wild-born predators and more prone to starvation post-release.Foraging in an unfamiliar environment presents many further risks to translocated animals.Knowledge of the diet and foraging behaviour of translocated animals is therefore an important consideration of reintroductions.W

Using Environmental Tracers to Characterize Groundwater Flow Mechanisms in the Fractured Crystalline and Karst Aquifers in Upper Crocodile River Basin, Johannesburg, South Africa

Environmental isotope tracers were applied in the Upper Crocodile River Basin, Johannesburg, South Africa, to understand the groundwater recharge conditions, flow mechanisms and interactions between surface and subsurface water.Stable isotope analysis indicated that recharge into the fractured quartzite aquifer occurs through direct mechanisms.The
