Chen, Ning (Chris), and Larry Dwyer. "Residents’ Place Satisfaction and Place Attachment on Destination Brand-Building Behaviors: Conceptual and Empirical Differentiation." Journal of Travel Research 57, no. 8 (October 30, 2017): 1026–41. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0047287517729760.
Full textAbstract:
Place attachment has become a popular concept in tourism and environmental psychology. However, little research has explored its role in predicting place-related behaviors, compared to alternative place-related constructs such as place satisfaction. This article clarifies the differential impacts of place satisfaction and place attachment on a series of residents’ place-related behaviors (i.e., destination brand-building behaviors), providing empirical evidence from a quantitative survey study. A sample of 358 residents from Sydney, Australia, was included for partial least square (PLS) based structural equation modeling testing. Results of a number of model testing suggest that compared with place satisfaction, dimensions of place attachment affect residents’ destination brand-building behaviors differently in a unique pattern. Place satisfaction strongly predicts residents’ intention to stay or leave, while place attachment more strongly influences residents’ word of mouth, ambassador behavior, and participation in tourism planning for a destination.

Full textAbstract:
Place attachment is the development of a psychological and emotional bond between an individual and their environmental setting. While positive experiences in the residential neighborhood are central to ongoing develop-ment of people–place bonds, whether negative experiences erode place attachment remains unknown. In this study, we explore the relationship between crime victimization, social ties, neighboring behaviors, and place attachment in Brisbane, Australia. Using multilevel linear modeling, we examine whether negative experiences, specifically crime victimization, in the residential neighborhood affect residents’ attachment to place. We also explore whether this relationship is moderated by neighborhood social ties and/or interactions with neighbors. Results indicate that the negative impact of victimization in the residential neighborhood on place attachment is attenuated through frequent social and/or functional interactions with neighbors.

Full textAbstract:
The geographical distribution of parasitism of Australian grasshoppers by the microtrombidiid mite Eutrombidium australiense is delineated. It appears to extend over almost the whole of mainland Australia. At least 248 species are attacked, in the subfamilies Morabinae, Pyrgomorphinae, Oxyinae, Catantopinae (including Cyrtacanthacridini), and Acridinae. The dominant sites of attachment are the insertion of leg III and the prosternum, between them accounting for 80% of cases, with the first the more frequent. Most of the host individuals were attacked by only one mite, but more than 20 were occasionally recorded.

Full textAbstract:
A study is made of a coastal tidal jet, based on a field program together with numerical and analytical modelling of the tidal discharge and jet dynamics. A new criterion is demonstrated for bottom attachment of low-aspect-ratio buoyant jets. The slightly buoyant jet is attached to the seabed over the initial 2 km of its trajectory, which lies in shallow coastal waters of less than 10 m depth. The jet is about 200 m in width and so its ratio of depth to half-width (aspect ratio) is much lower than for previously reported bottom-attached jets. The longitudinal retardation of the axial speed of the jet is due to bottom friction and entrainment. The jet widens only slowly with distance along its trajectory because entrainment is limited to its sides and is compensated by bathymetric deepening. The jet attaches to the coastline by turning, without loss of speed, to move parallel to the shore. The coastal attachment width is found to be a simple function of the ratio of the jet discharge velocity to the speed of the prevailing alongshore current.

Full textAbstract:
The nomadic or dispersive movements of many Australian waterfowl in response to irregular environmental cues make satellite telemetry studies the only means by which these long-distance movements can be tracked in real time. Unlike some large-bodied soaring species, attaching satellite transmitters to small-bodied waterfowl (<1 kg) is not straightforward because ducks have high wing loadings and need to maintain active flapping to stay aloft. In the present paper, we detail one harness design and attachment method that enabled us to track grey teal (Anas gracilis) for up to 879 days. In addition, we detail rates of data loss, changes in data quality over time and variation in data quality from solar-powered satellite-tags deployed on ducks in Australia and Papua New Guinea. Up to 68% of all locational fixes have a nominal accuracy of less than 1 km, and satellite-tags deployed on wild birds can provide up to 22 location fixes per day and store enough energy during the day to run continuously throughout the night.

Miller, Kelly K. "Public and stakeholder values of wildlife in Victoria, Australia." Wildlife Research 30, no. 5 (2003): 465. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/wr02007.
Full textAbstract:
This paper explores the management implications of a recent study that was designed to explore public and stakeholder values of wildlife in Victoria, Australia. Questionnaires (n = 1431) were used to examine values and knowledge of wildlife held by residents from seven Victorian municipalities and members of six wildlife management stakeholder groups. The results suggest that most Victorians have a relatively strong emotional attachment to individual animals (the humanistic value) and are interested in learning about wildlife and the natural environment (the curiosity/learning/interacting value). In comparison, the negativistic, aesthetic, utilitarian-habitat and dominionistic/wildlife-consumption values were not expressed as strongly. These findings suggest that wildlife managers should expect support for wildlife management objectives that reflect the relatively strong humanistic orientation of Victorians and tailor management and education programs to appeal to this value and Victorians' interest in learning about wildlife.

Key, KHL. "Host Relations and Distribution of Australian Species of Charletonia (Acarina, Erythraeidae) Parasitizing Grasshoppers." Australian Journal of Zoology 39, no. 1 (1991): 31. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/zo9910031.
Full textAbstract:
The geographical distribution and host relations of the 12 species of Charletonia whose larvae are known to parasitise 'short-horned' grasshoppers (Orthoptera) in Australia are described. The eight species for which there are adequate records occupy territories in the form of mainly overlapping bands running approximately from north-west to south-east and succeeding each other in a south-west to north-east direction across the continent, in correlation with isopleths of mean monthly effective moisture for the summer months. As many as 107 species of grasshoppers are attacked, encompassing all four of the Australian subfamilies of Acrididae, the Morabinae (Eumastacidae), and occasionally the Pyrgomorphidae. There is little evidence of host specificity and none of sexual preference. Sites of attachment on the host vary with the species of mite, from predominantly the prosternum to predominantly the alar organs, or, less frequently, various. Most of the host individuals were attacked by only one mite.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Sustainable entrepreneurship is crucial for the ongoing viability and growth of rural economies. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the role of farm entrepreneurs in the sustainable development of rural regional areas by focusing on the Sunraysia farming community in Australia. Design/methodology/approach The theoretical framework of evolutionary economics is utilized to understand the process of sustainable entrepreneurship for entrepreneurs in rural areas and a case study design is utilized to build theory linking place attachment, innovation legitimacy, and coopetitive behavior to sustainable farm entrepreneurship. The case studies are analyzed using an inductive approach to make theoretical contributions to rural and sustainable entrepreneurship. Findings The key findings are that coopetition is necessary amongst sustainable farm entrepreneurs in order to induce a culture of innovation. Research limitations/implications This study focuses on the Sunraysia region of Australia so might be limited in scope and replication to other geographic areas. Originality/value This study focuses on the role of rural regional areas and the special entrepreneurial characteristics of the Sunraysia region due to immigration and location advantages.

Full textAbstract:
The reproductive biology of Cherax cainii was studied in an impoundment dam in south-western Australia using histological examination of ovarian development (previous studies describing the reproductive biology of freshwater crayfish have relied solely on macroscopic descriptions of gonadal development). Spawning occurred between August and November and peaked in late August and September, with the percentage of berried females increasing from 50% in September to 96% in November before declining to 11% in December. Juveniles were released from berried females between late November and early December. Female gonads recovered dramatically after spawning with 81% of mature females possessing stage IV (maturing) gonads in March. The respective orbital carapace lengths at which 50 and 95% of C. cainii reached maturity were 32.1 and 37.9 mm for females, and 28.6 and 38.8 mm for males. The mean potential fecundity (i.e. number of mature ovarian oocytes prior to spawning) was 443 compared with 286 for the mean effective fecundity (i.e. number of pleopodal eggs, embryos or juveniles following spawning). The fact that the full ovarian reproductive potential of C. cainii is not attained is probably due to the limitation of egg attachment space on the pleopods.

Full textAbstract:
Radio tagging and tracking are widely used to study freshwater fish; however, details of fish survival or tag retention rates are rarely reported. The results from five independent tagging trials associated with different tag attachment methods are reported in the present study. Implanted peritoneal cavity tags were trialled for two native Australia freshwater fish species (golden perch and silver perch) and introduced carp. Oesophageal and external tags were also trialled on silver perch. The results from the peritoneal cavity implantation trials in golden perch, silver perch and carp achieved an overall success rate of 81% (after 315 days), 18% (after 200 days) and 43% (after 323 days) respectively. The external attachment of radio tags to silver perch had limited success with all fish either rejecting their tags or dying before 256 days. Silver perch trialled with oesophageal tags had an overall success rate of 25% after 200 days. The trials indicate that internal tagging is suitable for longer-term radio tracking of golden perch, but further developments are required for longer-term applications to silver perch and carp. Tag rejection rates are unlikely to be constant between species or through time and this variability should be incorporated into the study design to prevent bias.

Barber, Marcus. "Settling for dams?: planning for sustainable Indigenous livelihoods within large-scale irrigated agricultural development in north Queensland, Australia." Rangeland Journal 40, no. 4 (2018): 365. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/rj18014.
Full textAbstract:
Large-scale irrigated production of food, fuel and fibre has received new impetus from rising population and consumption levels and from structural changes in agribusiness, notably financialisation and vertical and horizontal consolidation. In Australia, these trends have provided new justifications for pre-existing economic and nationalist aspirations for water and irrigated agricultural development in the pastoral-dominated tropical north. Indigenous Australians have the longest history of past attachment to northern land and waterscapes, the highest degree of current socioeconomic marginalisation, and the strongest focus on the intergenerational equity and sustainability of development. This qualitative study undertaken with senior Indigenous custodians in two North Queensland catchments identified that major irrigation development posed significant risks, but may also contribute to diversified local Indigenous livelihoods. In particular, well structured development may enable the employment-related resettlement of depopulated traditional lands in the upper catchments, inverting the more commonly reported relationship between dam development and local residence. Yet the catchment-scale impacts from such development means that any complementarity between local Indigenous and developer aspirations in the immediate development zone does not necessarily entail complementarity with downstream Indigenous livelihood needs and aspirations. Regional coordination of Indigenous livelihood plans is required to establish effective baselines for negotiating sustainable development outcomes.

"A new species of Phreodrilidae (Oligochaeta), Astacopsidrilus naceri sp.nov., from Morocco (North Africa), with notes on the biogeography of the family." Canadian Journal of Zoology 73, no. 12 (December 1, 1995): 2375–81. http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/z95-277.
Full textAbstract:
Previously only known in Australia and mainly ectoparasitic, the genus Astacopsidrilus has been found in groundwaters of North Africa (Morocco) for the first time. The characteristics of Astacopsidrilus naceri sp.nov. include two setae in ventral bundles, one simple-pointed and one bifid with the upper tooth reduced, deep spermathecal vestibules running to the dorsal wall of the body, with muscular attachment in which the female funnel is probably involved, and sperm organised into thin, elongated, and spirally coiled bundles. The location of the new species in North Africa extends the distribution of the family above the Tropic of Cancer. Compilation of records known thus far supports a pan-Gondwanian origin of the family. The occurrence of the family in refuges above the Tropic of Capricorn led us to assume that the species is a relict in this geographical zone and to predict the existence of the family in groundwaters of Arabian Peninsula.

Full textAbstract:
The structural organisation of the sperm head of individuals included within the species Pseudomys delicatulus, and P. patrius, which has recently been separated from P. delicatulus, is detailed here. P. patrius has a sperm type with three hooks - a feature shared with most other species of Pseudomys including all three other pebble-mound mice. By contrast, P. delicatulus has a very different sperm type that lacks the three hooks and in this species two morphotypes appear to be present. One is highly variable, generally pear-shaped with a basal attachment of the sperm tail, and is present in individuals which occur on the mainland of the Northern Territory and Western Australia. The other, which is present in individuals in Queensland and on West Island and Groote Eylandt off the north coast of Northern Territory, is bilaterally flattened with a single, attenuated, blunt apical hook and tail attached to the lower concave surface. These results (1) support the recent separation of P. patrius from P. delicatulus and, (2) suggest the presence of a cryptic species or subspecies within Pseudomys delicatulus as presently constituted.

Zootaxa 2925, no. 1 (June 21, 2011): 19. http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.2925.1.2.
Full textAbstract:
The Apteropanorpidae is a family of wingless scorpionflies endemic to Tasmania, comprising four described species in the genus Apteropanorpa Carpenter. Intensive field surveys for adult Apteropanorpa conducted from April to May 2002 revealed the presence of ectoparasitic mites, parasitising many individuals of Apteropanorpa tasmanica Carpenter at four localities. Laboratory investigations revealed the presence of one species from each of the Erythraeidae and Microtrombidiidae parasitising adults: Leptus agrotis Southcott and Willungella rufusanus sp. nov., respectively. The larvae of W. rufusanus are described. Laboratory investigations of attachment sites and parasite loads of male and female scorpionflies are described and discussed. Results show neither sex was parasitised more than the other, and that up to four mites parasitised individual scorpionflies, although most adults supported one or two mites. Like many other Leptus species, all L. agrotis larvae attached to sclerites, whereas all W. rufusanus larvae attached to membranous areas. Larval W. rufusanus were predominantly attached to the scorpionfly abdomen; however, larval L. agrotis were more evenly distributed on the scorpionfly body. These data are the first records of parasitism in the Apteropanorpidae, and the first report of parasitism of Mecoptera in Australia. Parasitism of A. tasmanica by W. rufusanus is the first record of a mecopteran as a host for larval microtrombidiine mites. Parasite records for the Mecoptera are summarised.

Full textAbstract:
Larvae of A. balloti from Queensland and Western Australia were reared from ova with diameters ranging from 57 to 86�m. The straight-hinged veligers grew in shell length from 85 to 163 �m. Moderately protruding umbones developed 8 days after fertilization. The length (L) and height (H) relationship of larval shells was described by the allometric growth curve: H = 0.600L1.064. The provinculum of 15-day-old larval shells was undifferentiated and each valve had taxodontal teeth, at each end of the hinge line. Eye spots were present and common in pediveligers of 162-242 �m in length. Metamorphosis began 20 days after fertilization at 18-19� C when larvae were 178�m or longer. Settlement began on the 22nd day and lasted 5 days. Newly settled spat developed a byssal notch on the right valve, but attachment by byssal threads was never permanent. The length (L) and height (H) relationships of spat shells was described by the allometric growth equation H = 1.782L0.857. General appearance of A. balloti larvae was comparable to that of other pectinids. Statistical comparison of height-length relationships of the larval shells of A. balloti and Chlamys asperrimus showed larvae of A. balloti to be the more oblong at lengths greater than 128�m. The most significant characteristic of A. balloti spat shells was the formation of rounded auricles at the end of the hinge-line of each valve.

Full textAbstract:
Most specimens of carnivorous sponges (Demospongiae, Poecilosclerida, Cladorhizidae) collected in the deep Pacific are usually found to be undescribed taxa. New Zealand’s EEZ, containing Kermadec Trench and Volcanic Arc to the north, Chatham Rise to the southeast, and parts of Macquarie Ridge to the southwest of New Zealand, as well as parts of Australia’s EEZ surrounding Macquarie Island, on Macquarie Ridge, have produced high numbers of new species and possibly new genera, and these are presently being described. In this work, we describe three new species of Cladorhizidae, each remarkable for the ‘exceptions to the rule’ that they represent. Abyssocladia carcharias sp. nov., from Monowai Seamount on the Kermadec Volcanic Arc, has the shape of a pedunculate disc with radiating filaments, and is characterized by three types of unique multidentate isochelae. Asbestopluma (Asbestopluma) anisoplacochela sp. nov., from the southern most end of the Three Kings Ridge, is erect and cylindrical with lateral expansions. In addition to the usual Asbestopluma microscleres, this species displays a new form of microsclere, termed ‘anisoplacochelae’. These unprecedented microscleres bear a plate-like central tooth similar to that of the placochelae of Guitarridae, but the ends are dissimilar in shape and dimensions. Asbestopluma (Asbestopluma) desmophora sp. nov., from Cavalli Seamounts off the north east coast of New Zealand, Hikurangi Plateau to the east of the North Island, and the Chatham Rise extending east from the South Island (all New Zealand EEZ), and on Macquarie Ridge (Australia EEZ), is an erect dichotomously branching sponge, that has desma megascleres densely packed into the enlarged base of attachment. Implications for the phylogeny of these three unusual species are considered.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis study investigated the relative contributions of risk-taking behaviour (RTB), parental attachment, and depression to delinquency. Data were gathered from 108 university students and youth group members, aged between 17 and 23 years (M = 19 years). Each participant completed four self-report questionnaires: the Australian Self-report Delinquency Scale, the Adolescent Risk-taking Questionnaire, the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, and the Beck Depression Inventory. The three predictor variables were significantly related to each other, and risk-taking behaviour and depression uniquely predicted total delinquency. While parent attachment was not a significant predictor of delinquency, when the subscales of parent attachment were assessed individually, parental trust and communication inversely predicted delinquent behaviour. Although based on a nondeviant sample, the findings suggest that adolescents who display poor parent attachment, depression, or high risk-taking behaviour, singularly or in combination, are more prone to engage in delinquent behaviour. The results hold a number of potentially important implications for both further studies and the design and provision of intervention and preventative programs.

Full textAbstract:
Behaviour of free-ranging megapode hatchlings is best studied by radio-tracking because these superprecocial birds receive no parental care and therefore cannot be followed by the tracking of their parents. In preparation for a study of the behaviour of free-ranging Australian brush-turkey (Alectura lathami) chicks, we investigated methods of transmitter attachment and assessed possible effects on the behaviour and condition of captive hatchlings. We attached transmitters to 2–10-day-old chicks by gluing the tag to the skin on the back with eyelash-glue. Rapid-setting glues (such as Superglue), often used for gluing transmitters to other birds, were found to damage the skin and were not used. Retention of transmitters was 3–4 weeks. We detected no difference in the time spent preening, feeding, resting and moving between captive radio-tagged chicks and a control group. Flight of tagged chicks was not hindered by the radio-package and tagged chicks gained mass at the same rate as the control group. Free-ranging chicks with radio-tags showed no obvious signs of a negative effect of the transmitters on behaviour: they flew without obvious impediment, walked more than 100 m per day and, except for a single chick, did not become entangled in vegetation. We recommend our attachment method for studies of precocial and superprecocial chicks where transmitter attachment is deemed essential.

Full textAbstract:
This study presents an emerging trend in medical tourism, cosmetic surgery tourism (CST). We explore tourists’ perceptions of CST for medical service quality as an antecedent to tourists’ emotional attachment, trust, and intentions to visit, which is underexplored in CST. This study examines the mediating role of value co-creation in influencing behaviors of CST-seeking tourists to experience a better quality of life. Using a sample drawn from 279 tourists, comprised of Australian, Japanese, and Chinese nationalities at two international airports in China, findings show that perceived medical service quality positively influences tourists’ emotional attachment, trust, and intentions to visit directly and through the mediating role of value co-creation across the three nationalities. CST-seeking tourists’ inputs in value co-creation may positively influence their behaviors, which are vital antecedents to promoting CST business. Implications for future research are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe objective of this study was to investigate the relative contributions of university education, exposure specific training, and beliefs about exposure therapy (ET) in relation to the frequency, duration, and intense delivery of ET by Australian psychologists. Associations between clinicians’ use of and theoretical conceptualisation of ET, and attachment style were also evaluated. A total of 115 Australian psychologists (N = 94 females) completed an online survey. Findings revealed that a majority of participants used cognitive behaviour therapy (93%) and ET (88%) to treat anxiety disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder. The majority who used ET (90%) reported using therapist-assisted in vivo exposure with clients. Findings also showed that therapists spend 42% of session time on exposure. Moreover, therapists who reported more comprehensive training had more positive beliefs about ET. Positive beliefs about ET, and clearer conceptualisation of treatment, were related to greater use and more intense implementation of ET. Psychologists with a more preoccupied or dismissive attachment style were less likely to deliver intense ET. The findings suggest that ET-specific training may be a powerful medium to improving the adoption and application of ET. Clinician's theoretical conceptualisation of ET and interpersonal attachment style are also worthy targets for future research and training in ET.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose In response to consumer and society demands for firms to be socially responsible, brands have been taking a strategic approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR) by integrating socially responsible activities into their brands’ core value propositions to strengthen brand equity. Thus, from a brand building perspective, this paper aims to investigate the immediate effect that brand CSR communications have on the change in brand awareness, perceived quality and loyalty, to provide a deeper understanding of how each dimension affects the overall change in brand equity. Design/methodology/approach With evidence from an experiment conducted in three different countries (Australia, United States and Spain), based on an actual brand CSR program, this paper explores the different immediate effects of change in brand awareness, perceived brand quality and brand loyalty, after the exposure to a CSR message, on the overall immediate change in value that consumers give to a brand. Furthermore, it examines the role of brand-cause fit and the influence that differences in cultural, economic and political environments have on this effect. Findings The change in brand loyalty due to CSR communication is the key dimension driving the immediate positive change in overall brand equity. In addition, change in brand awareness has an inverted U-shape relationship with change in overall brand equity, whereas the change in perceived brand quality does not have an influence. Finally, the results indicate that this immediate effect holds regardless of the level of brand-cause fit, but is greater in countries where firms are expected to participate and CSR reporting is not mandatory, making such practices be seen as voluntary. Practical implications The findings of this study offer research implications for academics, and practical considerations for brand managers, interested in how to rapidly generate changes in consumer perception by leveraging CSR activities for brand building in global settings. Specifically, it indicates that when the aim is to quickly build brand equity, the goal of communicating CSR activities must be to increase the level of attachment that consumers have to the brand since loyalty is the main driver of the immediate change in overall brand equity. Originality/value Although many scholars have demonstrated the impact of CSR on various consumer behavior outcomes (e.g., brand attitude, purchase intention, loyalty), from a brand build perspective the implications of the immediate effect of a brand communication of CSR practices on consumer-based brand equity remain less clear. This study addresses this gap to gain a deeper understanding of how to rapidly generate changes in consumer perception to build strong brands while leveraging CSR practices.

Full textAbstract:
The authors consider the problem of urban planning regulation of public open spaces from the perspective of their dominant role in the formation of a holistic socio-cultural structure of a city. Relevance of the study is determined by the modern demand for comfortable urban environment of the public open spaces, which has become the global urban planning trend in recent decades. The modern approach, promoted in the UN Charter and in federal and regional strategic development programs is aimed at increasing the emotional attachment of people to a place of living and fostering a sense of community. The improvement of public spaces should be based on the historical and cultural context, natural features, and the identity of a place. The implementation of numerous projects all over the country has revealed the flaws of urban planning regulations. This fact stimulated the emergence of targeted contests of applied research aimed at the development of new national and local regulations, standard architectural solutions which would provide high-quality development of the urban environment. Analysis of the approaches to public open space development reveals current trends in their planning regulation, which are considered in separate sections of the article. The first section explores the mechanisms which regulate the improvement of urban historical and cultural sites. It touches upon the problems of preservation of cultural heritage and the identification of landmark places. It also considers examples of the urban planning regulations for the areas of “historical urban regeneration” (Dresden, Ivanovo, Arkhangelsk, Voronezh, Belgorod) and the examples of completed projects in Siberian cities (Yeniseisk, Krasnoyarsk, Tomsk, Irkutsk). The second section is devoted to the identification and preservation of unique natural elements and images of a place through the urban landscape zoning. Different approaches to solving issues of improvement and humanization of the living environment are considered using examples of Berlin, Paris, London, Moscow, Krasnoyarsk. The third section presents a comparative analysis of existing Russian and foreign regulatory documents aimed at creating an environment of public open spaces in urbanized areas of a city. Of particular interest here are the methods of regulation that take into account functional content, development morphology, remoteness from city center, natural and socio-cultural characteristics, as well as those aimed at protecting the wildlife (Seattle, New York, Toronto, London, Victoria Australia). The socio-cultural phenomenon of public open spaces highlights the fundamental relationship between the quality of spatial environment and human consciousness, behavior, way of life. Therefore, a tailored approach to the creation of architectural and landscape planning regulations will allow to treat each public space substantively, preserving and maintaining the identity of the historical and cultural environment of a place.

Full textAbstract:
Reptiles are often ignored or under-studied in freshwater systems. An understanding of their biology and thus their role in aquatic communities can be greatly advanced by studies using radio telemetry. In turn, the value of radio telemetry for research depends on the availability of suitable and reliable methods of attaching or implanting radio transmitters. The present study describes transmitter attachment and implantation techniques for selected freshwater reptiles, including the eastern and northern long-necked turtles (Chelodina longicollis and Chelodina rugosa, respectively), the pig-nosed turtle (Carettochelys insculpta), Mertens’ water monitor (Varanus mertensi) and the water dragon (Physignathus lesueurii). The effectiveness of the methods for each species is described and the potential pitfalls and challenges of each method are discussed. The literature abounds with techniques for attachment and implantation techniques, and the methods used in the present study are not wholly novel. The aim, however, is to provide detailed summaries, in one paper, of effective methods for attachment and implantation of radio-tags for freshwater reptiles with a diversity of sizes, shapes and attachment surfaces. Despite the focus on Australian freshwater reptiles, these methods are applicable to aquatic reptiles worldwide.

Full textAbstract:
The earliest representative of Glossopteridales is known by the leaves discovered from India and Australia (Brongniart 1822–28) under the genus Glossopteris as Glossopteris browniana var. australasica and Glossopteris browniana var. indica. Later discovery proved the presence of similar leaves in all the Gondwana continents, i.e. India, Australia, Antarctica, South America and Africa ranging from late Carboniferous to entire span of Permian to early Triassic. Such distribution pattern provides major evidence for the theory of continental drift. As a unified character, these tongue–shaped leaves show reticulate venation pattern and a midrib. Later, non reticulate and non midrib leaves were also considered as ally due to their close association with the leaves of Glossopteris and together they are assigned to Glossopteridales consisting of different genera, e.g. Gangamopteris, Rubidgea, Euryphyllum, Palaeovittaria, Maheshwariphyllum, Rhabdotaenia, Sagittophyllum, Pteronilssonia, Surangephyllum, Gondwanophyllites, Laceyphyllum, Belemnopteris, etc. Later, cuticular study, discovery of fertile structures in attachment with leaves increased the number of species. In addition, permineralized leaf fossils with anatomical features have also been described under new species of Glossopteris.
Fertile structures of glossopterids are mainly discovered in attachment with leaves or in attachment with scale leaves or bracts. Leaf borne fertile structures are known by multiovulate ovule/ seed bearing organ with or without stalk, e.g. Ottokaria, Dictyopteridium, Scutum, Senotheca, Cistella, Plumsteadiostrobus, Jambadostrobu, Lanceolatus, Vanus, Pluma, Hirsutum, etc. Scales or bracts showing branched and unbranched cupulate organs are other mode of fertile structures, e.g. Lidgettonia, Partha, Denkania, Bifariala, Nogoa, Gladiopomum, Rusangea, Rigbya, Mooia, etc. Distinct seed bearing Arberia, Dolianitia–type of fructifications, Eretmonia, Glossotheca type of sporangia bearing scale leaf or bract, Arberiella–sporangial mass and a variety of dispersed seeds are also accredited to glossopterids.
Ironically, leaves and fructifications have not yet been found in attachment with stem, however, fossil woods with araucariod pits, e.g. Dadoxylon/ Araucarioxylon found in alliance demonstrate their affiliation with glossopterids. Vertebraria–axes commonly observed in the sediments exemplify the rooting behaviour of the glossopterids.
Combination of different types of leaves consisting of more than 130 species under closely allied genera, thirty-five to forty types of fructifications grouped under multiovulate and branched types together with seed–bearing structures, varied type of morphological, cuticular and structural features amply demonstrate that Glossopteridales had sundry approach for development, endurance and evolution and in all likeness represent different taxonomic characteristics.

Full textAbstract:
Recent advances in tracking technology have enabled devices such as Global Positioning Systems (GPS) loggers to be used on a wide variety of birds. Although there are established ethical considerations to these processes, different species may react differently to particular devices and attachments. Thus, pilot studies are still of utmost importance in this field. Here, we describe one such study trialling a novel harness design for GPS tracking devices on Australian Magpies Gymnorhina tibicen. Despite previous testing demonstrating the strength and durability of the harness, devices were removed within minutes to hours of initial fitting. Notably, removal was observed to involve one bird snapping another bird’s harness at the only weak point, such that the tracker was released. This behaviour demonstrates both cooperation and a moderate level of problem solving, providing potential further evidence of the cognitive abilities of this species. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report the conspecific removal of GPS trackers, and should be considered when planning future tracking studies especially on highly social species.

Full textAbstract:
International evidence supports the effect of intensive family preservation and reunification services in preventing children’s placement in out-of-home care (OOHC). Evidence within Australia is scarce. This protocol paper describes a hybrid effectiveness-implementation evaluation of the Victorian Family Preservation and Reunification (FPR) Response implemented by MacKillop Family Services. Participants include families engaged in the program and staff involved in program delivery. A pre-post study design will be used to assess the effectiveness of the FPR in improving family outcomes from intake to closure, including: (i) parenting knowledge, skills, and capability; (ii) family safety and home environment; (iii) child development, adolescent behaviour, education attendance and attachment; (iv) connection to services; and (v) prevention of children from entering or re-entering OOHC. Interviews and focus groups will be conducted with staff to evaluate the program’s fidelity, reach, feasibility, acceptability, and enablers and barriers to implementation. Quantitative data will be analysed using descriptive statistics and a series of paired-samples t-tests and F tests to examine changes in outcomes over time; thematic analysis will be used for qualitative data. If the FPR can yield significant improvements in families’ outcomes, this would provide strong support for its scale-up across Australia, to better support vulnerable families.

Full textAbstract:
Bullying behaviour can have a negative impact on a child's physical and psychological health. Bullying in the classroom is a challenge for early-childhood educators. Preschool is the first place outside the home where children face social challenges when interacting with their classmates. Child-Friendly Class is the first step and part of the Children Friendly School (CSF) as a UNICEF program and an important Indonesian government policy to prevent the emergence of child bullying behaviour. This study aims to identify needs in the process of developing a Child-Friendly Classroom Management model to anticipate bullying behaviour. This research and development method uses an adaptation of the Rowntree model which includes three stages of the process and data collection techniques using interviews, questionnaires, and observation. The results of this study indicate that the preparation of an effective classroom management guidebook to create child-friendly classes needs to be followed up immediately. Several findings related to teachers' perceptions of classroom management, and child-friendly classes prove that child-friendly classes have not been implemented properly in PAUD institutions, with bullying behaviour still appearing in early childhood in PAUD institutions. PAUD teachers understand that it is important to implement classroom management but so far there has been no manual on how to manage effective classrooms as well as training related to the implementation of effective classroom management. The creation of child-friendly classes is believed to be able to help teachers suppress the emergence of bullying behaviour in early childhood.

Full textAbstract:
Background Mother-infant bonding provides the foundation for secure attachment through the lifespan and organizes many facets of infant social-emotional development, including later parenting. Aims To describe maternal bonding to offspring across the pregnancy and postnatal periods, and to examine a broad range of sociodemographic and psychosocial predictors of the maternal-offspring bond. Methods Data were drawn from a sample of 372 pregnant women participating in an Australian population-based longitudinal study of postnatal health and development. Participants completed maternal bonding questionnaires at each trimester and 8 weeks postnatal. Data were collected on a range of sociodemographic and psychosocial factors. Results Bonding increased significantly through pregnancy, in quality and intensity. Regression analyses indicated that stronger antenatal bonding at all time points (trimesters 1 through 3) predicted stronger postnatal bonding. Older maternal age, birth mother being born in a non-English speaking country, mother not working full time, being a first-time mother, breast-feeding problems, and baby's crying behavior all predicted poorer bonding at 8 weeks postpartum. Conclusion These novel findings have important implications for pregnant women and their infant offspring, and for health care professionals working in perinatal services. Importantly, interventions to strengthen maternal-fetal bonding would be beneficial during pregnancy to enhance postnatal bonding and infant health outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
The temperatures experienced by the ixodid ticks Amblyomma limbatum and Aponomma hydrosauri whilst attached to sleepy lizards, Tiliqua rugosa, were examined to determine whether differences in the body temperature of the host could explain (1) interspecific differences in the feeding and mating sites of ticks on hosts, and/or (2) the position of the tick parapatric boundary near the transition from mallee to non-mallee vegetation. Attached ticks were exposed to temperatures that were related to, but often higher than, ambient temperatures. Ground surface temperature was a better predictor of lizard body temperature than was air temperature. Mean body temperatures of lizards during winter were lower than those in spring, due to lower ambient temperatures, and were consistently below the threshold temperature required to induce mating in both tick species. Low temperature can also explain the cessation of feeding by larval and nymphal ticks on hosts during winter. The selection of feeding and mating sites by ticks could not be attributed to specific temperature requirements because no attachment site was consistently warmer than another. Furthermore, no change in body temperature of the lizards was detected across the tick parapatric boundary.

Background Attitudes towards sex and relationships influence laws about what is and is not permissible and social sanctions against behaviours considered unacceptable. They are an important focus for research given their links to sexual behaviour. The aim of the present study was to describe attitudes towards sex and relationships, to identify correlates of scores on a scale of sexual liberalism and to examine responses to jealousy-evoking scenarios among Australian adults. Methods: Computer-assisted landline and mobile telephone interviews were completed by a population-representative sample of 20 094 men and women aged 16–69 years. The overall participation rate among eligible people was 66.2%. Respondents expressed their agreement with 11 attitude statements, five of which formed a valid scale of liberalism, and also responded to a jealousy-evoking scenario. Results: There was general agreement that premarital sex was acceptable (87%), that sex was important for wellbeing (83%) and that sex outside a committed relationship was unacceptable (83%). Respondents were accepting of homosexual behaviour and abortion and few believed that sex education encouraged earlier sexual activity. More liberal attitudes were associated with: being female; speaking English at home; homosexual or bisexual identity; not being religious; greater education; and higher incomes. Respondents who expressed more liberal attitudes had more diverse patterns of sexual experience. Predicted sex differences were found in response to the jealousy-evoking scenario — men were more jealous of a partner having sex with someone else and women were more jealous of a partner forming an emotional attachment — but responses varied with age. Conclusion: Sexual attitudes of Australians largely support a permissive but monogamous paradigm. Since 2002, there has been a shift to less tolerance of sex outside a committed relationship, but greater acceptance of homosexual behaviour.

Full textAbstract:
Nitor Gude, 1911 is a genus of helicarionid land snails currently comprising eight species ranging from southern New South Wales to northern Queensland. We comprehensively revise the taxonomy of this group based on comparative morphology and on mitochondrial genes cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and 16S rRNA, provide a new generic diagnosis, revise species descriptions and describe four new species. Two species, ‘N.’ reisi Stanisic, 2010 from northern Queensland and ‘N.’ whitneyae Stnaisic, 2010 from mid-eastern Queensland, are removed from Nitor. Revised species descriptions are given for N. subrugatus (Reeve, 1852), N. medioximus Iredale, 1941, N. circumcinctus (Cox, 1868), N. wiangariensis Hyman, 2007 and N. pudibundus (Cox, 1868); N. helmsianus Iredale, 1941 (previously considered a synonym of N. subrugatus) is reinstated; and new species N. glenugie, N. sheai, N. benjamini and N. pipinna are described. Helix graftonensis Cox, 1864 is synonymised with N. subrugatus. We demonstrate that Nitor is closely related to Lord Howe Island taxa Epiglypta Pilsbry, 1893, Gudeoconcha Iredale, 1944, Howearion Iredale, 1944 and Parmellops Iredale, 1944; the five genera are united by a combination of characters including the presence of a distinct vagina, a slender epiphallic flagellum forming a simple spermatophore and an epiphallic caecum with terminal attachment of the penial retractor muscle.

"Attachment of eggs by Lamellodiscus acanthopagri (Monogenea: Diplectanidae) to the gills of Acanthopagrus australis (Pisces: Sparidae), with evidence for auto-infection and postsettlement migration." Canadian Journal of Zoology 72, no. 1 (January 1, 1994): 87–95. http://dx.doi.org/10.1139/z94-012.
Full textAbstract:
The eggs of the diplectanid monogenean Lamellodiscus acanthopagri are T-shaped with a thornlike filament that is inserted into the epithelium between respiratory lamellae on the gills of the sparid fish Acanthopagrus australis. The resulting epithelial hyperplasia eventually sheds the egg. The most extensive hyperplasia is always associated with mature and hatched eggs. Few developing eggs are shed from the gills. Most eggs are attached in the basal third of the gill filament irrespective of infection intensity. Most adult and juvenile parasites are in this basal zone at low levels of infection, but predominate in the middle zone at higher infections. A ciliated oncomiracidium hatches from the egg and may attach nearby. As it develops, the parasite apparently moves distally on the gill filament. Only a few fish in the wild have high intensities of infection by L. acanthopagri compared with six other species of monogenean on, A. australis. Auto-infection occurs at all levels of infection but dispersal of larvae to the water column may limit population size on host individuals.

Degree of host tissue response to monogenean (Lamellodiscus acanthopagri, L. major, L. squamosus, Haliotrema spariensis, Polylabroides multispinosus) and copepod (Ergasilus sp., Lernanthropus atrox, Alella macrotrachelus) parasites on the gills of Acanthopagrus australis varied with developmental stage and among species. The histophagous ancyrocephalines L. acanthopagri and L. squamosus and the sanguinivorous polyopisthocotylean P. multispinosus elicited no host response. In contrast, phylogenetic relatives of the former two species, L. major and H. spariensis, were associated with extensive hyperplasia of the filament. Among the copepods, Ergasilus sp. elicited a minor response. However, larval, subadult, and adult A. macrotrachelus were associated with increasing extents of filament alteration. Similarly, adult L. atrox were associated with massive hyperplasia which often included adjacent filaments. The observed variability in tissue response is discussed in terms of parasite attachment, mobility, and feeding strategies.

Full textAbstract:
The power law is considered one of the most enduring regularities in human geography. This article aims to develop an understanding of the circumstances that may result in the power law distribution in the geography of tourism activities. The finite Polya urn process is adopted as a device to model the preferential attachment process in the flow of tourists. The model generates a rank-size distribution of tourism regions along with intuitively appealing parameters. Empirically examined using two independent sets of Australian inbound and outbound tourism data, results show that the rank-size distribution emerging from the finite Polya urn process is a superior fit to the conventional power law curve. This rank-size distribution (termed the Polya urn process model of visitor distribution) is compatible with tourist behaviors such as habit persistence and word-of-mouth effects, and can be adopted by tourism modelers to predict and efficiently summarize the spatiality of tourism.

Full textAbstract:
The pups of Pseudomys nanus and P. australis are attached to their mothers' teats for extended periods of time, analogous to the situation encountered in pouchless marsupials. The structures in the mammary glands involved in facilitating prolonged attachment are different in the two rodent species and both kinds are different from those in marsupial glands including those of Monodelphis domestica, the subject of the present study. In P. nanus, the teats are anchored to postero-ventrally directed, tubular diverticula of the body wall. In P. australis there are no diverticula. However, support for the mammary glands and teats is afforded by the body wall, in the form of two well-developed fan-shaped muscles dorsal to the mammary glands in conjunction with a broad lamina of connective tissue, smooth and striated muscle situated between the skin of the belly and the mammary glands. In M. domestica, the teats are anchored to swathes of striated voluntary muscle, derived from the ilio-marsupialis muscles which pass ventrally through the secretory parenchyma to be inserted onto the bases of the teats. Since this musculature has not been observed in the mammary glands of any eutherians so far studied, nor in those of Monotremata, it is put that it is a character unique to the Marsupialia.

Full textAbstract:
The whalesucker Remora australis (Echeneidae) is an oceanic diskfish found attached to cetaceans only and its habits are therefore poorly known. At the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, off North-eastern Brazil, spinner dolphins Stenella longirostris (Delphinidae) regularly congregate in large groups in a shallow bay, which allows for underwater observations of their behaviour and their fish associates. In the course of a broader study of this elusive diskfish, we had the opportunity to made multiple records of two whalesucker couples (three of the fish naturally marked) attached to the same individual dolphin in two different years, over periods of 47 and 87 days respectively. In all the sightings the whalesucker individuals of a couple were recorded side-by-side and positioned on their host’s belly. We surmise that at least one of the couples was a reproductive pair, as the belly of the larger fish was noticeably swollen in the last sighting, and the bulge on its belly was bilateral and extended almost uniformly to the vent, a strong indication of fully mature gonads. Moreover, its size matched those of the mature females of this diskfish species. To our knowledge, this is the first time that attachment fidelity of the whalesucker to any cetacean host is documented in the wild. We hypothesize that attachment fidelity to the same individual host increases the whalesucker’s chance to mate, and suggest further that the highly social nature of the spinner dolphins facilitates encounters between potential mating partners. Our study indicates that host fidelity possibly is not an uncommon feature of the whalesucker behaviour, albeit difficult to recognise. In one of the above recorded whalesuckers the natural marking was a crescentic scar characteristic of the wounds inflicted by the cookiecutter Isistius brasiliensis (Dalatiidae), a first record of the attack of this shark to any diskfish species.

AimTo evaluate the psychometric properties of a new measure of school belonging.RationaleThe sense of belonging to the school (organisation) as opposed to individuals within a school (peers) plays a significant part in pupils’ behaviour and wellbeing. To date, few psychometrically robust, theoretically driven and brief scales exist. Consisting of only 12 items, the School Belonging Scale (SBS) was developed to assess three theoretically derived aspects of school belonging: attachment or bonding to school, acceptance of rules, and perceived school support.MethodA total of 3522 (42.9 per cent male) pupils in Years 7 to 11 from 6 metropolitan private schools in Sydney, Australia participated in the present study. Participants ranged from 11 years to 17 years of age (M=13.8, SD= 1.4). The data collected from the participants was used to assesses the SBS’s reliability and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to assess its factor structure. Additional tests of factorial invariance were also carried out to test the validity of the measure across boys and girls.FindingsInternal consistency estimates were very good to excellent. Results of the CFA indicated that all three factors were well defined. Invariance testing showed that the SBS is invariant across boys and girls.LimitationsParticipants were from private schools; other limitations are discussed.ConclusionsThe SBS is reliable and applicable to both males and female pupils. It can be used as a brief assessment for school belonging in research, intervention development, and evaluation.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Many organisms have evolved a capacity to form biopolymeric fibers outside their bodies for functions such as defense, prey capture, attachment, and protection. In particular, the adhesive capture slime of onychophorans (velvet worms) is remarkable for its ability to rapidly form stiff fibers through mechanical drawing. Notably, fibers that are formed ex vivo from extracted slime can be dissolved in water and new fibers can be drawn from the solution, indicating that fiber formation is encoded in the biomolecules that comprise the slime. This review highlights recent findings on the biochemical and physicochemical principles guiding this circular process in the Australian onychophoran Euperipatoides rowelli. A multiscale cross-disciplinary approach utilizing techniques from biology, biochemistry, physical chemistry, and materials science has revealed that the slime is a concentrated emulsion of nanodroplets comprised primarily of proteins, stabilized via electrostatic interactions, possibly in a coacervate phase. Upon mechanical agitation, droplets coalesce, leading to spontaneous self-assembly and fibrillation of proteins—a completely reversible process. Recent investigations highlight the importance of subtle transitions in protein structure and charge balance. These findings have clear relevance for better understanding this adaptive prey capture behavior and providing inspiration toward sustainable polymer processing.

Full textAbstract:
Little is known about accidental epiphytes in Australian temperate forests. In western Tasmania, we determined whether: (1) the occurrence and abundance of accidental epiphytes increases with moisture availability and the size of host; (2) the species of host affects the occurrence of individual taxa of accidental epiphytes; (3) moist microhabitats favour accidental epiphytes. We recorded the accidental woody epiphytes on 21 trees in each of 20 locations and measured attributes of the host and the location and attachment height of the individual epiphytes. Epiphyte occurrence, but not abundance, was associated with the basal area of host tree, January rainfall and the taxon of the host. Eucalypts, gymnosperms and tree ferns were the outstanding hosts. The rainforest tree Nothofagus cunninghamii occurred as an epiphyte on eucalypts more than expected, while Proteaceae species occurred less than expected. In contrast, there was a strong positive association between the gymnosperm Athrotaxis selaginoides as a host and Proteaceae as epiphytes, possible reflecting their joint status as palaeoendemics. Accidental epiphytes were concentrated on the west and south-west of trees and near their bases, further indicating a strong effect of moisture availability on their occurrence. Our results reinforce the importance of conserving old growth forest to maintain ecosystem complexity.

Full textAbstract:
A total of 65 skulls of the Australian sealion, Neophoca cinerea, was examined to investigate the extent to which sexual dimorphism is reflected in cranial dimensions (n = 32) and skull growth, and to determine whether cranial sutures (n = 18) can be useful in age determination. All adult skull dimensions studied display significant sexual dimorphism. Skull growth ceases close to 4–7 years of age for females (Suture Fusion Rating, SFR 25–34) but skull growth in males continues until at least 16 years of age. In animals with a SFR ≥� 25, male skulls have a minimum condylobasal length of 272 mm, whereas female skulls have a maximum condylobasal length of 259 mm. The relatively early closure of the cranial vault sutures (cessation of brain growth) is balanced by the continued growth of the bony projections that provide muscle attachment (e.g. mastoid width). The later fusion of the snout and palate sutures corresponds with the continued growth of the snout and palate to match the prolonged growth of the mandibles. The upper sixth postcanine tooth was present in 43% of the adult female skulls, but only 15% of the adult male skulls. The data suggest that it may be possible to determine age(s) from examination of the sequence of fusion of cranial sutures as well as by calculation of an overall suture fusion rating for the skull.

AbstractWe compared foraging-trip duration of Adélie Penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) carrying various combinations of radio-telemetry transmitters, implanted, passively interrogated transponder (PIT) tags, and time-depth recorders at two widely separated colonies of different size on Ross Island, Antarctica, during three austral summers. Trip duration was measured by electronic devices rather than human observation. Instrumentation had no significant effect on foraging trip duration. Most of the variation in foraging trip duration was attributed to individual and year. Males' trips were significantly shorter than females' in a subset of known-sex birds. No effect was evident in nesting success even for birds that wore instruments for >20 days. We recommend use of small, hydrodynamically designed and placed instruments to researchers who wish to collect data unaffected by instrument attachment.Efectos de la Sujeción de Instrumentos y Otros Factores en la Duración de las Salidas de Forrajeo y el Éxito Reproductivo en Pygoscelis adeliaeResumen. Se comparó la duración de las salidas de búsqueda de alimento de Pygoscelis adeliae a los que se les colocaron distintas combinaciones de radiotransmisores, emisores implantados de interrogación pasiva y medidores de tiempo y profundidad de buceo. El estudio fue realizado durante tres veranos australes en dos colonias ampliamente separadas de diferente tamaño en Ross Island, Antártica. La duración de las salidas fue medida por instrumentos electrónicos en lugar de observaciones humanas. Los instrumentos no tuvieron un efecto significativo en la duración de las salidas de búsqueda de alimento. La mayor parte de la variación en la duración de las salidas fue atribuida a individuos y años. Las salidas de los machos fueron significativamente más cortas que las de las hembras en una sub-muestra de aves previamente sexadas. No se detectaron efectos evidentes en éxito de nidificación incluso en individuos que llevaron instrumentos por más de 20 días. Recomendamos el uso de instrumentos pequeños diseñados y colocados hidrodinámicamente a fin de no influenciar los datos colectados.

PurposeThe Australian Temperament Project Generation 3 Study (ATPG3) was established to examine the extent to which offspring social and emotional development is shaped in the decades prior to conception, in parent and grandparent histories of psychosocial adjustment (eg, emotional regulation, relationship quality and prosociality) and maladjustment (eg, depressive symptoms, substance use and antisociality).ParticipantsThe Australian Temperament Project (ATP) commenced in 1983 as a population representative survey of the social and emotional health of 2443 young Australians (Generation 2: 4–8 months old) and their parents (Generation 1). Since then, families have been followed from infancy to young adulthood (16 waves). Between 2012 and 2018, the cohort was screened biannually for pregnancies (Generation 3), with assessments conducted in the third trimester of pregnancy, and at 8 weeks and 1 year postpartum.Findings to dateA total of 1167 offspring (607 female) born to 703 Generation 2 parents (400 mothers) were recruited into the ATPG3 Study. Findings to date highlight: (1) strong continuities in depressive symptoms and substance use from adolescence through to becoming a parent; (2) a role for persistent preconception mental health problems in risk for parent–child bonding difficulties, as well as infant emotional reactivity and behaviour problems; (3) the importance of secure attachments in adolescence in reducing long-term risk for postpartum mental health problems; and (4) the protective nature of perceived social support, both preconception and postpartum, in strengthening relationship quality and social support during the COVID-19 pandemic.Future plansAssessments of ATPG3 families in preschool and middle childhood are currently funded and underway. We intend to maintain the offspring cohort through childhood, adolescence, young adulthood and into parenthood. Data will be used to map preconception determinants of emotional health, and enhance approaches to population monitoring and targeted intervention over the life course and across generations.

Objective: To examine the grief experience of parents of adult children with a mental illness and its relationship to parental health and well-being and parent child attachment and affective relationship. Methods: Participants were recruited from a variety of organizations throughout Australia that provide support services for sufferers of mental illness and/or for their families. Seventyone participants (62 mothers and nine fathers) all of whom had a child diagnosed with mental illness volunteered to take part in the study. All completed measures of grief, health status and parent-child relationship. Results: Parents reported experiencing grief in relation to their child's illness as evidenced by intrusive thoughts and feelings and avoidance of behaviour as well as difficulties adapting to and distress associated with reminders of the illness. Parental grief appears to reduce over time, but only in some aspects of grief and after an extended period. Increased parental grief was related to lowered psychological well-being and health status and associated with an anxious/ambivalent and a negative affective parent-child relationship. Conclusion: The study provides important insights into the grief experiences of parents following their child's diagnosis with mental illness. The significant relationship between parental grief and parental psychological well-being and health status as well as to parentchild relationship has important implications for health professionals. Foremost amongst these are the need to validate the distress and grief of parents and to better understand how to provide interventions that promote grief work and family bonds while reducing emotional distress and life disruption.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This study aims to investigate the decision-making processes of international retirement migrants. The development of a place in response to the high demand for international retirement migration has become an important strategy for stakeholders within host destinations; of particular interest is international retirement migrant behaviour and intention to stay and retire in a foreign country. Design/methodology/approach This research presents the results of a qualitative study using face-to-face interview techniques. Content analysis technique was used to analyse data from interviews with 33 international retirees in Thailand. Findings Destination stakeholders must consider creating awareness of the destination through WOM, trustworthy websites and government channels, which migrants evaluate a destination based on pre-retirement visits that create attachment and emotional feelings for the place, and finally, the decision-making processes of short stay, semi-permanent and permanent migrants. Research limitations/implications This qualitative study investigated migrants from Europe, Australia and the USA. An understanding of IR migrants from Asia needs further research. Practical implications The results can be used as guidelines for government, hospitality and tourism stakeholders. IR migrants want different destination attributes to mainstream tourists, especially a peaceful environment, mild weather (not too cold or hot), and to live among locals. Originality/value This study examines migrant decision-making processes. The results provide a theoretical foundation for how IR migrants decide to retire overseas. This comprises three components: destination awareness, secondly, evaluation of the destination’s resources, and finally, the decision and implementation of their plans.

Full textAbstract:
An analysis is made of experiences and spatial effects of commuting by air with on-site accommodation for the purposes of resource extraction in sparsely populated areas. The case concerned is that of the Forrestania Nickel Mines in Western Australia, owned by the Outokumpu Group and opened in January 1993. Comparison is made with the Zaldivar Mine in Chile. This case study demonstrates that the reasons for the growth of airborne long-distance commuting lie in the increasing technical and economic possibilities for organising commuting between urban agglomerations and remote working sites, the introduction of compressed and rotational work schedules and the lifestyle and behaviour of the employees themselves, all of which factors favour long-distance commuting. Long-distance commuting causes a marked bifurcation in the life of an employee, as his working life and home life are entirely separate. His social ties and family are rooted in the social networks of his actual domicile, and many employees aspire to live in a metropolitan environment, as the availability of services, lifestyle, environment and social networks to be found there foster an attachment with their domiciles, whereas rural mining localities are not attractive for permanent dwelling and are thus not viable housing options if long-distance commuting is available. This increasing long-distance commuting restructures urban and rural housing and infrastructures. The spatial structure related to mining becomes fragmented, and it becomes a combination of various resource communities connected to home localities by different models of commuting operating over unpredictable. The paper demonstrates clearly that sophisticated technology, efforts to improve economic efficiency and individual preferences may lead to fundamental changes in the spatial structures of sparsely populated areas.

Abstract Roberts, L. W., Butcher, P. A., Broadhurst, M. K., and Cullis, B. R. 2011. Using a multi-experimental approach to assess the fate of angled-and-released yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi). – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 68: 67–75. Yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi) are angled throughout their global distribution and released in large numbers under the unsubstantiated assumption of few impacts. The validity of this supposition was tested for southeastern Australian stocks. In all, 54 fish were angled and released into cages with 36 controls and monitored for 5 d. Of the angled fish, 15% died, mostly as a consequence of gill-hooking and the associated physiological and mechanical damage. A biotelemetry experiment was then performed to determine if cutting the line on gill-hooked fish could improve their post-release fate. The attachment of transmitters was validated in an aquarium experiment before 12 jaw- and 10 gill-hooked fish were tagged, released, and tracked. One gill-hooked fish was detected motionless within 10 min, and another was last detected 7 min after release; both presumed dead. No jaw-hooked fish died within the first 24 h. The remaining fish were last detected between 3 and 49 d after release and, apart from subtle differences in their short-term responses, maintained similar wide-ranging movements and accelerations. The results justify cutting the line on deep-hooked fish to minimize post-release mortality and illustrate the utility of combining confinement and biotelemetry studies to assess the fate of released fish.
