▼ Assessment of trophic interactions between increasing populations of New Zealand fur seals (Arctocephalus forsteri) and fisheries in southern Australia is limited due to a lack of species specific demographic data and an understanding of the factors influencing population growth. To establish species specific demographic parameters a cross-sectional sample of New Zealand fur seal females (330) and males (100) were caught and individually-marked on Kangaroo Island, South Australia between 2000 and 2003. The seals were aged through examination of a postcanine tooth, which was removed from each animal to investigate age-specific life-history parameters. Annual formation of cementum layers was confirmed and accuracy in age estimation was determined by examination of teeth removed from individuals of known-age.Indirect methods of assessing reproductive maturity based on mammary teat characteristics indicated that females first gave birth between 4-8 years of age, with an average age at reproductive maturity of 5 years. Among reproductively mature females, age-specific reproductive rates increased rapidly between 4-7 years of age, reaching maximum rates of 70-81% between 8-13 years, and gradually decreased in older females. No females older than 22 years were recorded to pup. Age of first territory tenure in males ranged from 8-10 years. The oldest female and male were 25 and 19 years old, respectively. Post-weaning growth in females was monophasic, characterised by high growth rates in length and mass during the juvenile growth stage, followed by a gradual decline in growth rates after reproductive maturity.In contrast, growth in males was biphasic and displayed a secondary growth spurt in both length and mass, which coincided with sexual and social maturation, followed by a rapid decline in growth rates. Age-specific survival rates were high (0.823-0.953) among prime-age females (8-13yrs of age) and declined in older females. Relative change in annual pup production was strongly correlated with reproductive rates of prime-age females and adult female survival between breeding seasons.

▼ At Cape Gantheaume, Kangaroo Island (South Australia), adult male, lactating female and juvenile New Zealand (NZ) and Australian fur seals regularly return to the same colony, creating the potential for intra- and inter-specific foraging competition in nearby waters. I hypothesised that these demographic groups would exhibit distinct foraging strategies, which reduce competition and facilitate their coexistence. I analysed the diet of adult male, adult female and juvenile NZ fur seals and adult male Australian fur seals and studied the diving behaviour of adult male and lactating female NZ fur seals and the at-sea movements of juvenile, adult male and lactating female NZ fur seals. Female diet reflected that of a generalist predator, influenced by prey availability and their dependant pups' fasting abilities. In contrast, adult male NZ and Australian fur seals used larger and more energy-rich prey, most likely because they could more efficiently access and handle such prey. Juvenile fur seals primarily utilised small lantern fish, which occur south of the shelf break, in pelagic waters. Juveniles undertook the longest foraging trips and adult males conducted more lengthy trips than lactating females, which perform relatively brief trips in order to regularly nurse their pups. Unlike lactating females, some adult males appeared to rest underwater by performing dives that were characterised by a period of passive drifting through the water column. The large body sizes of adult males and lactating females facilitated the use of both benthic and pelagic habitats, but adult males dived deeper and for longer than lactating females, facilitating vertical separation of their foraging habitats. Spatial overlap in foraging habitats among the age/sex groups was minimal, because lactating females typically utilised continental shelf waters and males used deeper water over the shelf break, beyond female foraging grounds. Furthermore, juveniles used pelagic waters, up to 1000 km south of the regions used by lactating females and adult males. The age and sex groups in this study employed dramatically different strategies to maximise their survival and reproductive success. Their prey and foraging habitats are likely to be shaped by body size differences, which determine their different physiological constraints and metabolic requirements. I suggest that these physiological constraints and the lactation constraints on females are the primary factors that reduce competition, thereby facilitating niche partitioning.

▼ This work provides a landscape context and framework for the use of regolith and vegetation in mineral exploration on Kangaroo Island, South Australia. Regolith field observations and the production of a regolith–landform map have improved constraints on the ferricrete plateau formation and also on the landscape history of the Island. The ferricrete and ferruginous materials on Kangaroo Island have been found to be the result of continous formation but have been largely in place since the Eocene. Through field observations, microanalysis and a large scale geochemical survey, the nature of the ferruginous materials and the processes that form them have been examined. Ferrolysis and the movement of groundwater have been interpreted to play major roles in the formation of the ferruginous materials. These processes have a significant impact on the use of the weathered materials for mineral exploration as economic and indicator elements are leached early in the weathering process. Ferruginous materials do contain the signature of mineralisation over areas that contain known deposits, however, the apparent lack of dispersion halos makes these materials difficult to use for a large scale geochemical survey for mineral exploration as target zones may be missed by low sampling densities. Despite this, the ferricrete materials can be useful for mineral exploration, as although potentially only providing small target areas, they do highlight areas of mineralisation. Conversely, the underlying weathered bedrock potentially has less use for mineral exploration as the economic metals have been readily mobilised out of the bedrock during the weathering processes on Kangaroo Island. The biogeochemical surveys were successful in highlighting areas of mineralisation, and displayed a greater dispersion halo than observed in the ferruginous materials. The biogeochemical surveys also helped to provide further information into the processes occurring in the landscape. The eucalypts are interpreted to source groundwater from the weathering zone in the bedrock and effectively pick up elements as they are leached. While displaying a high degree of variability, even over areas of known mineralisation, this dataset was better suited to identifying signals of mineralisation at a larger scale than the ferricrete. A limiting factor on the use of eucalypt for biogeochemical surveys is the occurrence of systematic inter-species variations. This makes large, regional scale surveys difficult, as there is a high possibility that there will not be a consistent vegetation species, resulting in a dataset in which different species need to be compared and potentially excluded in order to correctly identify meaningful anomalies. The xanthorrhoea, overall, was less successful in taking up elements of interest, most likely due to its shallower root system, which is likely to tap into the already leached saprolite or groundwater that has only been recently recharged by meteoric water (diluting any chemical signature of the underlying bedrock).

▼ In 1827, English ex-sailor Nathaniel Walles (Nat) Thomas and Aboriginal Tasmanian Betty were living at Antechamber Bay, in what later became the Hundred of Dudley, Kangaroo Island. They were among the several pre-colonial settlers who had come through the Bass Strait opened up by sealing and whaling industries from the turn of the nineteenth century. When the South Australia Company landed on Kangaroo Island in 1836, there were approximately five Tasmanian Aboriginal men and eight European men, some of whom, like Nat, had small farms of crops and stock. Nat and Betty appear to have been the only parents within this population of 1836 and the only Kangaroo Island pre-colonists to whom the descendants can trace their genealogies today. Their two surviving children, Mary born 1833 and Hannah born c.1839, married South Australia Company settlers; Mary married William Seymour in 1849 and Hannah married Thomas Simpson in 1860. Mary and William remained living near Nat Thomas at Antechamber Bay with their son and two daughters. William worked as a third keeper at the near-by Sturt Lighthouse, Cape Willoughby from 1852-1858. By 1885, however, Mary, by then widowed, moved to Penneshaw. There her son Joseph, a stone-mason, was married and had three daughters, whilst her eldest daughter Emma was married to local labourer Frank Barrett and had four sons and two daughters. The year they married, Hannah and Thomas took up a small lease of land near Penneshaw, known pre-1883 as Hog Bay, and Thomas, previously a Lincolnshire butcher, became the district postmaster. They had seven surviving sons and three daughters. At the age of nineteen, their eldest son, Nathaniel, inherited fifty-one acres of freehold land from his grandfather on his death in 1879. He and his brothers William, Thomas and Stephen worked on increasing this holding and, by 1893, were partners in over eleven thousand acres of land spanning south from Antechamber Bay to Cape Hart. Stephen Simpson also owned one hundred and eighty acres of suburban blocks in Sapphiretown, a township further west, and a forty acre section in Penneshaw where he lived. Nathaniel was a Justice of the Peace and he and his brothers Thomas and William councillors for the District of Dudly. The Simpsons had become an established family; they had houses, land and positions of influence. They could not, however, marry into the other established families. The colonial pastoralist families who had taken up leases on the Hundred of Dudley, predominantly in the 1850’s and 60’s found the pre-colonial descendants unacceptable on the grounds of their Aboriginal ancestry. Having met the colonial families on every other front- acreage, power and respectability-marriage; the mixing of black and white blood, proved the ultimate boundary the pre-colonial descendants could not penetrate. Chapter two discusses the marital frontier between colonised and coloniser, a barrier which was suppressed in daily and…

▼ Globally, herbivore populations have become threatened by the effects of a growing human population. This has resulted in over-hunting, habitat encroachment, fragmentation and degradation and competition leading to the replacement of wild herbivore populations with livestock. African herbivores, in particular, have experienced a severe decline in abundance and distribution, and vast conservation management efforts are underway to preserve herbivore populations and promote their growth. However, conservation management efforts sometimes have unintended consequences on the abundance and distribution of herbivores as a result of the complex interactions they have with their ecosystem. The aim of this study was to: 1) examine the drivers of herbivore distribution at the Satara section of Kruger National Park (hereafter ‘KNP’) at a landscape scale, to determine assemblage composition under the constraints of different environmental attributes; and 2) examine feeding selection by grazing herbivores of different morpho-physiological characteristics at a patch scale of differing environmental attributes. To achieve this, thirty-six experimental plots were established at three distances from water at Satara, and manipulated by mowing, mowing and fertilising or fertilising only over the course of a year, to account for seasonal effects. Each plot was fitted with a camera trap which ran for five weeks in each sampling season, and the data collected focussed on eleven herbivore species of differing body size, digestive strategy and feeding preference. These species were selected due to their abundance at Satara, and their representation of a variety of morpho-physiological characteristics. To achieve both aims, generalised linear models were used to determine the probability of occurrence of a functional type (for aim 1- Chapter 3), and individual species (for aim 2- Chapter 4). To construct the generalised linear models for Chapter 3, hypotheses about species’ relative distribution and abundance were developed through a literature review of forage and water availability constraints on feeding preference and body size of herbivore biomass at a landscape scale. I expected strong seasonal relationships between vegetation biomass and quality, and biomass of water-dependent herbivores with increasing distance to water. My analyses of herbivore distribution across the region confirmed broad-scale descriptions of interactions between forage requirements and water availability, across a set of species which differ in functional traits, at a landscape scale. In Chapter 4, trends in probability of occurrence by seven grazing herbivore species were determined using camera trap data at a patch scale. My results showed that season was a major determinant of species distribution, especially those which are not obligate grazers or feed exclusively in the 0.5 km to 2 km zone from water. I found that most selective feeding occurred in the late wet season when water would be more evenly distributed across the landscape and forage resources close…

▼ Our natural world is under serious threat. Maintaining a connection between our ever-urbanising global population and our natural world is getting more and more difficult. Sometimes the only link between these two worlds is the mass media and, as a result, wildlife filmmaking has an important role to play. The very core of wildlife filmmaking is wildlife cinematography, yet the ‘craft of wildlife cinematography’ is under serious threat. Since the turn of the century, wildlife filmmakers report that they have found it difficult to survive in a very competitive film and television market. Filming wildlife in its natural environment takes time and has traditionally required a lot of specialist equipment. The high costs involved can make broadcasters less disposed to commissioning or buying such productions. According to industry insiders, this has resulted in less high quality behavioural wildlife footage being filmed. Does this mean that behavioural wildlife filmmaking needs to become more cost-effective if it is to survive? This thesis explores one possible answer to this problem by posing another question: Can the core cinematic approaches and techniques that define ‘quality’ wildlife cinematography be achieved by novice wildlife camera operators using limited equipment? Through an Industry Online Questionnaire, correspondence with world-leading wildlife cinematographers, and the identification of wildlife films judged to be of the highest quality, this thesis establishes criteria that can be used to establish what constitutes ‘quality’ wildlife cinematography. The creative component of the thesis, the film Kangaroo Island: Life on the Edge, challenged a novice wildlife cinematographer, the author, to achieve a cinematically ‘quality’ wildlife film shot using limited gear. That film was then evaluated by two experienced wildlife cinematographers to ascertain whether cinematic ‘quality’ had been met. The findings of the study reveal that it is possible to produce cinematically ‘quality’ behavioural wildlife films using limited gear – but with caveats – as limited gear can certainly impair cinematic ‘quality.’ The thesis then discusses the ramifications of this finding in a context where the technical requirements of the industry are constantly changing. There was one other important supplementary finding. Whatever the equipment used the cinematographer needs to understand the likely behaviour of the animals involved, in advance of the shoot, if he or she is to successfully record the desired animal behaviour.

▼ Target species in some Australian shark fisheries are adequately managed, but there has been little attention given to non - target shark species and there is limited information on the biology of their local populations. Among this group of non-target species, the piked spurdog - Squalus megalops ) is of special interest because it is a dominant and ecologically important species with high natural abundance. Hence, the main purpose of the present research was to improve knowledge of the basic biology of this species and to provide essential data for its management, sustainable use and conservation. Squalus megalops had a complex population structure, segregating by sex, size and breeding condition. The sex ratio was biased towards females and there was sexual size dimorphism with females attaining a larger maximum size than males. Conversion factors from partial lengths to total length and from partial masses to total mass were determined due to the common commercial fishing practice of eviscerating, beheading and finning sharks. Comparisons of total and partial length - length and mass - length relationships between males and females using different ranges of size showed that there was no effect of size range on measurements reflecting only somatic growth ( fork and carcass lengths ; carcass, pectoral fin and caudal fin masses ). However, for variables reflecting somatic and reproductive growth ( total and liver masses ), different outcomes can be expected when different ranges of size are compared. Examination of dietary composition revealed that S. megalops is an opportunistic predator that consumes a wide range of prey items. High variability was found when overall importance of prey items was estimated. Dietary composition varied in space and time, exhibiting differences among regions, seasons and size classes. Therefore, the intrinsic natural variability in the dietary composition of S. megalops and its spatial and temporal variation in diet suggest that information on the ecological relationships among species is likely to be missed when predator - prey interactions are only inferred from overall diet. Reproductive parameters were determined for population assessment. For both sexes, length - at - maturity differed depending on the criterion adopted for defining maturity. Mature males are capable of mating throughout the year. Females have a continuous asynchronous reproductive cycle. The sex ratio of embryos is 1 : 1 and litter size and nearterm embryo size increase with maternal length. Females have an ovarian cycle and gestation period of two years. Although all females are mature at 600 mm, only 50 % of them are in maternal condition, contributing to annual recruitment each year. Hence, for chondrichthyan species with reproductive cycles of two, three or more years, if maturity ogives are used in population assessments instead of maternity ogives, the models will over - estimate recruitment rates. Age and growth information was also determined for population assessment. Precision estimates, the… Advisors/Committee Members: Walker, Terry (advisor), School of Earth and Environmental Sciences (school).

▼ Eastern grey kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) are one of Australia’s most iconic species. An increase in watering sites and urban development have dramatically influenced the species range and abundance. Current knowledge of group structure, dispersal and behaviour of eastern grey kangaroos is limited. Developing a better understanding of these topics is essential in creation of effective management strategies. The following thesis explores multiple aspects of behavioural ecology and health in free ranging eastern grey kangaroos. Motion detecting infra-red camera traps were used to assess activity patterns and social interactions, as well as the suitability of this tool for measuring behaviour in this species. Activity patterns were compared between a modified and natural site. The location of 23 road killed kangaroos was studied to evaluate what influences road mortality. DNA extracted from tissue and blood samples were used to conduct microsatellite analysis and investigate genetic structure of the population. Baseline haematology, blood chemistry, and acute phase protein parameters were examined for eight kangaroos including three adult males, three adult females and two sub-adult males to assess health. The aim of the research was to expand the existing knowledge of the behaviour, social organisation, population dynamics and health of eastern grey kangaroos to assist in developing more informed and effective management strategies for this species. Research was conducted at two sites in NSW, Yarramundi paddocks at the Hawkesbury campus of WSU, Richmond, NSW; an active farmland site fragmented by an urban environment consisting of 308 ha of pasture, grassland, marshes and open woodland, and the Emirates One and Only Wolgan Valley Resort, Newnes, NSW; a largely undeveloped area and conservation reserve at an eco-resort situated on 1619 ha of grasslands, woodland and riparian areas surrounded by the sandstone cliffs of World Heritage listed National Parks. Camera trap data was consistent with activity patterns of eastern grey kangaroos observed on foot in previous studies. The behaviour of kangaroos appeared to be influenced by the presence of cameras, however no kangaroos retreated from cameras and all appeared to become habituated to cameras after eight months. The findings suggest that camera traps are suitable for assessing the diurnal activity of kangaroos, however nocturnal activity appeared to be underrepresented. Observations of unusual fighting behaviour illustrates the potential for camera traps to enable capture of novel observations. Comparison of camera trap data showed that kangaroos at the modified site had a higher density, spent more time in larger groups, and had an earlier peak activity time than those at the natural site. More vigilance (standing still and scanning for threats) and less feeding were observed at the modified site. The higher population density at the modified site is likely to be a result of increased resources and restricted dispersal. The earlier peak activity time observed at… Advisors/Committee Members: Western Sydney University. School of Science and Health (Host institution).

Theoretical thesis.

Bibliography: pages 122-145.

Some of the clearest expressions of climate change have been found in the Southern Ocean, one of the biggest marine ecosystems and a major component of the Earth's climate system. Top predators living in this ecosystem are considered to be one of the best indicators of these global changes as their population fluctuations reliably integrate and reflect prevailing environmental conditions. Southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) are pole-ward predators that feed throughout the Southern Ocean. In the past decades, their worldwide populations have been stable or increasing with the single exception of the Macquarie Island population that has been declining for unknown reasons over the past 50 years. This study, based on an 18-year capture-recapture dataset involving more than 6,000 individually marked females, aims to explore and understand the demographic mechanisms driving this decline and the potential impact of a changing environment on a key predator. Using models that deal with the issue of uncertainty in reproductive status, I showed that breeding is extremely costly in female elephant seals and results in a substantial decrease in survival of both first-time and experienced breeders. To offset this high reproductive cost to survival and maximize their reproductive success, female elephant seals tend to skip some reproductive events during their lifetime. Environmental conditions during the beginning of the post-moult foraging trip, which also corresponds to the beginning of females' pregnancy, play a critical role in this decision to skip reproduction or not. By incorporating this information into a matrix population model, I confirmed and reevaluated the decline of this population. Taken together, these results provide a detailed understanding of the southern elephant seals demography and give potential clues to the processes driving the decline of the Macquarie Island population. More broadly, my research contributes to a body of knowledge regarding the role of evolutionary and ecological processes in shaping life histories and population trajectories in long-lived species.

▼ Over-abundant koala populations and resultant over-browsing of vegetation has presented an ongoing challenge for wildlife managers in many areas of south-eastern Australia for almost a century. In 1996 over-browsing by koalas became evident in many areas of Kangaroo Island, and in riparian areas where preferred tree species occurred; the majority of food trees were severely defoliated. This project was one of a number of concurrent research projects which focussed on key aspects of koala ecology in order to better inform development of koala management strategies on Kangaroo Island. The main focus of the project was to investigate: • koala foraging behaviour • tree response to extent and pattern of defoliation • habitat use and tree preference in preferred and non-preferred habitats • regenerative potential of over-browsed tree species, • effect of sterilisation and translocation of koalas on tree health. The first part of the project involved conducting observations of the foraging behaviour of free-ranging koalas to better understand the spatial pattern of tree defoliation. Ten individually tagged and radio-collared koalas were observed for 24- hour periods on 34 occasions between August 1997 and December 1998. Koalas were found to restrict feeding bouts to one or two locations within the outer canopy of each tree they visited. Feeding was concentrated at these locations with browsed branches being almost completely defoliated. Based on these results artificial defoliation experiments were developed and used to determine the effect that pattern and extent of defoliation had on leaf production and recovery of trees. Defoliation treatments were applied to 50 manna gum trees at Flinders Chase National Park and Victor Harbor. Manna gum trees showed strong compensatory growth following artificial defoliation. New leaf production was particularly high on trees that where subjected to canopy-wide defoliation. In contrast, branches which experienced localised damage produced comparatively fewer leaves than branches on trees which had experienced canopy-wide defoliation. It appears that manna gum can be highly tolerant of one-off defoliation of the entire canopy, even when substantial quantities of foliage are lost, but that branches may not be as tolerant of high levels of herbivory if defoliated in isolation. This is a crucial consideration when determining carrying capacities of riparian habitats both during the recovery phase of already heavily defoliated trees and the long-term carrying capacities of these habitats and suggests that carrying capacity may not correlate directly with the ‘standing crop’ of leaves on trees within a given area of habitat. Between 1997 and 2000 koala numbers and tree health were monitored at Mine Creek to determine the effectiveness of sterilisation and translocation in reducing koala numbers and improving tree condition. Mine Creek has been the site of an intensive koala population control program since 1997 and presented an opportunity to test the effect of koala management… Advisors/Committee Members: Paton, David Cleland (advisor), Possingham, Hugh Philip (advisor), School of Earth and Environmental Sciences (school).

▼ Introduction: Propolis, a sticky substance produced by bees from plant resins, has a long history of safe use medicinally. Kangaroo Island, SA (KI) lacks many introduced European plants bees preferentially collect resin from; consequentially, propolis from KI is produced from resinous native plants. Several identifiably reproducible pure-source KI propolis types exist. Research into medical use of compounds from KI native plants is limited. Metabolomics is a growing field of interest in natural products chemistry, including beehive products. Metabolomic and similarity-scoring assessment of KI propolis, through statistical evaluation of 1D 1H-NMR fingerprints, provides an entry point for research into medical use of KI native plant compounds. Many avenues to product discovery in pharmaceutical chemistry are suffering diminishing returns: metabolomics-guided natural products assessment has the potential for further identification of novel therapeutic compounds from resinous plants. Aim: To assess and identify, via metabolomic investigation of NMR fingerprints, major propolis types on KI, and to produce, from this, similarity-scoring tools for assessment of propolis samples. Method: KI propolis samples, identified as pure-source by TLC, and resinous KI plants were analysed by 1H-NMR and HPLC. Data points of interest were normalised and binned to form individual sample ‘fingerprints’. Data from these fingerprints were analysed by hierarchical clustering and principal component analysis (PCA) to confirm provisionally-identified pure-source propolis types and identify subtypes within propolis and resinous plant species. From this, calculator tools were created to score similarity (out of 1000) of 1H-NMR fingerprints to the average spectrum of pure-source propolis types, as well as to calculated mixtures of these average spectra. Assessment of the chemistry of two major KI propolis types identified (CP- and F-type) was made by fractionation and NMR, with one compound, 6,8-diprenyleriodictyol, isolated from CP-type propolis in quantity, submitted for epigenetic and other biological assays. Results: Source resinous plants were demonstrated, through hierarchical clustering and PCA, to cluster with propolis types arising from these sources, with closely related plants and sub-chemotypes clustering separately, confirming specificity. A number of previously-identified pure-source propolis types and known botanical sources were shown to have very high similarity (> 800/1000) to the expected propolis type. Calculator tools were observed to accurately predict the content of mixed propolis samples to within ± 10%. A number of methylflavanones, and two novel terminally-hydroxylated prenyldihydrochalcones were isolated from F-type propolis. 6,8-diprenyleriodictyol demonstrated a range of promising activity in biological assays. Conclusion: Metabolomic evaluation of 1H-NMR fingerprints can reliably identify and assess pure-source KI propolis and identify botanical origin of source resins. Similarity scoring calculators can accurately…

▼ Kangaroo Island, South Australia, is known for its unique flora and its rich supply of honey bee propolis. Propolis, the resinous bee hive product, has largely been used in the food and pharmaceutical industries, due to its interesting biologically active constituents and traditionally recognized medicinal properties. In this study, a propolis type was selected from more than a thousand propolis samples collected from various locations of Kangaroo Island that had been analyzed and categorized through chromatographic and NMR techniques. From the propolis type categorized as “purple spot”, serrulatane diterpenoids were isolated which led to identification of the plant source as Myoporum insulare R. Br. Several compounds were isolated and their structures were elucidated by NMR and high resolution ESI mass spectroscopy techniques. Serrulatane diterpenes characterized include 2 novel (7,8,18-trihydroxyserrulat-14-ene, 5,18-epoxy-8-hydroxyserrulat-14-ene) and 3 known (5,18-epoxyserrulat-14-en-8,18-diol, 7,8-dihydroxyserrulat-14-ene, serrulat-14-en-5,8-dione) compounds, acetylated derivatives of the 2 major serrulatane diterpenes and an oxidized product from the main novel serrulatane diterpene. Other known compounds characterized were a sesquiterpene, 4-hydroxy-10,11-didehydro-4,8-dihydromyodesmone, and a flavonoid, 4΄,7-dimethoxy-5-hydroxyflavonone. In-vitro pharmacological assays plus epigenetic enzymes inhibition and cell based assays and also cell viability proliferation screens of four of the studied compounds and Myoporum insulare resin were done. The promising results exhibited antihistamine, anti-lipoxygenase, anti-monoamine oxidase properties. Significant inhibition of nuclear factor kappaB was noticed for compound (1) (IC50 ≈ 1.36 μM). Based on our research, Kangaroo Island’s unique propolis and intact botanical flora have exceptional chemical structure diversity with promising biological and pharmacological properties much of which is yet to be discovered.

▼ This thesis combined data from a trapping and radio-telemetry study of snowshoe hares at Kluane Lake, Yukon from January 1984 through August 1985 with data collected at the same site from 1977-83 (Boutin et al. 1986; Krebs et al. 1986) to examine possible causes for the 10-year cycle in density of snowshoe hares. In Chapter 2 I used data on causes of mortality, from a radio-telemetry study of a cyclic snowshoe hare population during 1978-84, to consider the importance of predation in causing the hare cycle. I found that predation during winter was the largest source of mortality for snowshoe hares during 1978-84. There was a 1-year lag in the response of predation mortality to changing hare density. There was a 2-year lag in the response to changing density of mortality due to causes other than predation. I incorporated this information on causes of mortality into a simulation model, to see whether observed predation mortality can cause changes in density similar to those of a cyclic population. I fitted the predation mortality data to a function in which total predator response consists of a Type II functional response and a delayed density-dependent numerical response. Using a simulation model that predicted mortality rates with this function, I produced 8-11 year cycles within parameter values measured in this study. In Chapter 3 I compared a non-cyclic snowshoe hare population on Jacquot Island in Kluane Lake, with a cyclic population on the mainland, 40 km to the SE. I use trapping data from both mainland and island sites, for a period that included population increase, peak, and decline (1977-85) to test hypotheses of conditions sufficient to cause a hare population cycle. I also presented results from a radio-telemetry study, conducted on both mainland and island during a population low on the mainland (1984-85). The hypothesis that high rates of recruitment followed by low rates of recruitment, is sufficient to cause a cycle was not supported. Data presented was consistent with hypotheses that any one of the following conditions was sufficient to cause the hare cycle: 1. High rates of survival followed by low rates of survival, particularly of juveniles 2. Delayed density-dependent predation 3. Periodic food shortage.

▼ At Cape Gantheaume, Kangaroo Island (South Australia), adult male, lactating female and juvenile New Zealand (NZ) and Australian fur seals regularly return to the same colony, creating the potential for intra- and inter-specific foraging competition in nearby waters. I hypothesised that these demographic groups would exhibit distinct foraging strategies, which reduce competition and facilitate their coexistence. I analysed the diet of adult male, adult female and juvenile NZ fur seals and adult male Australian fur seals and studied the diving behaviour of adult male and lactating female NZ fur seals and the at-sea movements of juvenile, adult male and lactating female NZ fur seals. Female diet reflected that of a generalist predator, influenced by prey availability and their dependant pups’ fasting abilities. In contrast, adult male NZ and Australian fur seals used larger and more energy-rich prey, most likely because they could more efficiently access and handle such prey. Juvenile fur seals primarily utilised small lantern fish, which occur south of the shelf break, in pelagic waters. Juveniles undertook the longest foraging trips and adult males conducted more lengthy trips than lactating females, which perform relatively brief trips in order to regularly nurse their pups. Unlike lactating females, some adult males appeared to rest underwater by performing dives that were characterised by a period of passive drifting through the water column. The large body sizes of adult males and lactating females facilitated the use of both benthic and pelagic habitats, but adult males dived deeper and for longer than lactating females, facilitating vertical separation of their foraging habitats. Spatial overlap in foraging habitats among the age/sex groups was minimal, because lactating females typically utilised continental shelf waters and males used deeper water over the shelf break, beyond female foraging grounds. Furthermore, juveniles used pelagic waters, up to 1000 km south of the regions used by lactating females and adult males. The age and sex groups in this study employed dramatically different strategies to maximise their survival and reproductive success. Their prey and foraging habitats are likely to be shaped by body size differences, which determine their different physiological constraints and metabolic requirements. I suggest that these physiological constraints and the lactation constraints on females are the primary factors that reduce competition, thereby facilitating niche partitioning.

▼ Rationale—Continental shelf ecosystems occasionally undergo "regime shifts" – abrupt reorganization events that can have deleterious social and economic effects on fishing communities that rely on affected species. Regime shifts are often interpreted as transitions to alternative ecosystem states after external perturbations such as fishing pressure cross a critical threshold; they have also been related to shifts in modes of internal climate variability, such as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and North Atlantic Oscillation. However, hypotheses explaining regime shifts are extremely difficult to test, given the multivariate nature of both stressors and community response, the frequent paucity of data at adequate spatial and temporal scales, possible non-linear and non-stationary relationships, and the use of observational data that preclude strong inference. Furthermore, regime shifts have often been invoked to explain ecological change without the consideration of competing models, such as the accumulation of more gradual change over time. As a result, both the nature of community-level biological change in continental shelf systems (regime shifts vs. more gradual change), and the identity of factors producing observed change, remain poorly resolved. Given increasing anthropogenic disturbance to continental shelf ecosystems globally, there is a need both for better understanding of the dynamics underlying sudden ecological change, and for tools providing early detection of ecosystem change to allow for proactive management measures that might minimize associated socio-economic disruption. Finally, the regime shift concept is largely based on work in North Atlantic and North Pacific ecosystems, and there is a need for studies in other areas to determine if the regime shift model is widely applicable. Approach—In many continental shelf systems, long-term biological observations that are necessary for testing hypotheses concerning decadal-scale ecological change are extremely limited. The first four chapters of this thesis use the northeast Pacific as a model system, as this region is home to one of the best extant datasets of long term, large-spatial scale biological observations globally. I compiled a set of 38 climatic time series (regional climate parameters and large-scale indices) and 78 biological time series (mostly production or abundance estimates for commercially-important fish and invertebrate populations), from the 1960s to the present, covering the continental shelf between 30°N and 65°N. This dataset allowed me to evaluate internal climate variability, commercial fishing and incremental climate change as factors explaining decadal-scale biological variability (Chapter 1); test competing models of gradual change and regime shifts for explaining decadalscale ecological variability (Chapter 2); develop an approach for evaluating possible ecosystem shifts at the ends of time series (Chapter 2); test for non-stationary biological responses to climate perturbations (Chapter…
