The Ecology of invertebrate associations with vertebrate carrion in Victoria, with reference to forensic entomology Red-capped robin abundances within white cypress-pine woodlands of Terrick Terrick National Park were higher than those of nearby eucalypt woodlands, suggesting such pine woodlands provide high quality habitat for red-capped robins. In this thesis, I describe aspects of the behavioural ecology of the red-capped robin Petroica goodenovii (Petroicidae), relating to its mating system and breeding biology, based on field research during two breeding seasons (2000/01 and 2001/02) in Terrick Terrick National Park (northern Victoria, Australia). A comparative analysis within the Petroicidae (members of which are distributed throughout Australasia) revealed that species endemic to Australia had shorter incubation periods, and species from semi-arid and dry woodlands had comparatively longer incubation periods. eprints.unimelb.edu.au /perl/oai?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&set=7375626A656374733D736369:7363692D7A6F6F6C   (2750 words)
