• On this page is a list of Australian species which we thought might show first-event responses to climate variations.  The list is not exhaustive. Insect or frog species would also be excellent candidates for observation.

• Please note: When you make observations you must also record the latitude / longitude for each location. See the "Location" page for more information on how to do this.

• If you need help determining your location click here.
