The two lineages differ in the number and size of spots on the lateral surfaces and the degree by which the cloaca is surrounded by colour patches. The mating calls are significantly different in number of pulses in the note. The presence of a F2 hybrid in the area where the distribution of the two taxa come into closest proximity leads us to assign subspecies status to the lineages, as we have not been able to assess the extent of potential genetic introgression. In our sampling, the F2 hybrid sample sits within an otherwise unsampled gap of ~90km between the distributions of the two lineages. The nominate northern sub-species is restricted to the Sydney Basin bioregion, while the newly recognised southern subspecies occurs from south of the Kangaroo Valley in the mid-southern coast of New South Wales to near Walhalla in central Gippsland in Victoria. The habitat of the two subspecies is remarkably similar. Adults spend large portions of their lives on the forest floor where they forage and burrow in a variety of vegetation communities. The southern subspecies occurs most commonly in dry sclerophyll forests with an open understory in the south and in open forest and heath communities with a dense understory in the north of its distribution. The northern subspecies is also found in dry open forests and heaths in association with eroded sandstone landscapes in the Sydney Basin bioregion. Males of both taxa call from both constructed burrows and open positions on small streams, differing from the five Western Australian species of Heleioporus where males call only from constructed burrows. Using the IUCN Red List process, we found that the extent of occupancy and area of occupancy along with evidence of decline for both subspecies are consistent with the criteria for Endangered (A2(c)B2(a)(b)).]]> Mon 18 Sep 2023 15:17:58 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53032 95%) can be centrifuged/filtered from plasma in the size range of 0.45 to 5 μm, suggesting that there are larger forms of mtDNA-containing complexes in the plasma that could be considered cell-free. Whether this is true for trauma patients (and other relevant disease states) and the clinical relevance of the larger forms of mtDNA is unknown. These findings from healthy individuals also suggest that the centrifugation speeds used to generate cell-free plasma (which are rarely consistent among studies) could result in mixed populations of cell-free mtDNA that could confound associations with outcomes. We demonstrate in this study of 25 major trauma patients that the majority of the cell-free mtDNA in trauma patient plasma (>95%) is removed after centrifugation at 16,000g. Despite the larger forms of mtDNA being predominant, they do not correlate with outcomes or expected parameters such as injury/shock severity, multiple organ failure, and markers of inflammation, whereas low-molecular-weight cell-free mtDNA correlates strongly with these variables.]]> Mon 13 Nov 2023 08:46:11 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41835 Fri 12 Aug 2022 14:23:17 AEST ]]>
