HNATIUK ABSTRACT Seven vegetation fornations conprising woodland, scrub (mallee), and shrubland are reported for the site about 280 kn south east of Perth, Western Australia. One hundred species of vascular plants are listed as ^^ ^.,rri n ^ rhai6 Issued by the WESTERNAUSTRALIAN HIRBARIIJM SOUTHPERTH, W.A. 6151 IviAy, 1978 No. 1 19 VEGETATIONAND FLORARECONNAISSANCE OF AVONLOCATION 19769 by A.S. GE0RGEAND R.J. HNATIUK (l!esteln Austral ian He-rbariurn, South Perth, W.A. 61,51) Avon location 19769 (32o31rS latitude, 117056'E longitude) is situated about 25 kilometres north west of Ku1in, a wheatbelt centre about 280 kilonetres south east of Perth, Western Australia (Ffg. 1). The area of the block of land is about 400 hectares and contains a variety of geomorphj-c features that Tange from deep, well-drained, yelLow sand, to clayey sand, to lateritic outcrops. Seven vegetation forrnations (as defined by Specht, Roe Q Boughton, L974, and modified by the Vegetation Cornmittee of the Australlan Biological Resources Survey) have been recognised on the location. These i) woodland dorninated by Eucalgptus lrandoo (Wandoo)i iil woodland dorninated by EtrcaLyptus salmonophloia (Salmon Gun), sometines with E. Longicorni s (MorreI) ; iii) low woodland dominated by 6. astringens (Brovn MalIet) ; iv) open scrub with the nallees E. erenophila " E. redunca ar,d E. pileata; v) high shrubland. of Casttarina catnpestz,is, C. acutiualuis and MeLaLeuca tmc'Lnata ; vi) low open-woodland of Casuarina cqnpesttis, Lepto sp er,ffnm, Melaleuca species and other shrubs, with scattered trees of Eucalgptus uandoo i vii) shrubland donlnated by EucaLyptus macrocanpa with a dense, species-rich, shrub understorey. The most inportant formation on the Location is the Eucalgptus mad,ocarpa shrubl and, for it is one which has becone rare in the wheatbelt. Although E. macz,ocalpa itself extends north-westwards to the Hill River region, its associated species vary considerabJ-y, and no assqnblage such as occurs on Location 19769 is knoranin a conservation reserve. The woodlands of the Location are important biologically because they represent fomations which through clearing have becorne scarce in the wheatbelt. The Location nay be large enough to support viable populations of some snaller native fauna. Plant. species that are of speclal interest include outliers fron the Eastern Goldfields such as Dauiesia pachyLi,rn, Eucalyptus sheathiana, and )Leat:ia truellevi. An undescribed Baeckea is known only fron this locality, while an undescribed fsopogon for;nd here is restricted to this part of the wheatbelt. Acacia glaucopter,a ts a northern outlier of a specles of south coastal distribution, whlLe Acacia puloiniformis is a rarely found species. 20 A.S. George& R.J. Hnatiuk No. 1 A broad strip across the northern end of, the Location has been rolled, probably about 8-10 years ago. It has apparently not been subsequently burned or cultivated, and the regeneration of indigenous flora has been excellent. This includes the maln area of EucaLuptus macrocarpa. A small graveL pit has been openedon the site. A tentative list of plant species is presented in Table 1 and represents 100 taxa that were found during two visits in September Ig76 and April 1977.

    Bindaring Park Bassendean - Fauna Assessment Wetland habitat within Bindaring Park study area (Rob Browne-Cooper) Prepared for: Coterra Environment Level 3, 25 Prowse Street, WEST PERTH, WA 6005 Prepared by: Robert Browne-Cooper and Mike Bamford M.J. & A.R. Bamford Consulting Ecologists 23 Plover Way KINGSLEY WA 6026 6th April 2017 Bindaring Park - Fauna Assessment Summary Bamford Consulting Ecologists was commissioned by Coterra Environment to conduct a Level 1 fauna assessment (desktop review and site inspection) of Bindaring Park in Bassendean (the study area). The fauna survey is required to provide information on the ecological values for the Town of Bassendean’s Stage 2 Bindaring Wetland Concept Plan Development. This plan include developing design options (within wetland area) to enhance ecological values and habitat. The purpose of this report is to provide information on the fauna values of the habitat, particularly for significant species, and an overview of the ecological function of the site within the local and regional context. This assessment focuses on vertebrate fauna associated with the wetland and surrounding parkland vegetation within the study area, with consideration for connectivity with the Swan River. An emphasis is placed on locally-occurring conservation significant species and their habitat. Relevant species include Carnaby’s Black-Cockatoo, Forest Red-tailed Black-Cockatoo, and other local native species such as the Water Rat or Rakali. The fauna investigations were based on a desktop assessment and a field survey conducted in February 2017. The desktop study identified 180 vertebrate fauna species as potentially occurring in the Bindaring Park study area (see Table 3 and Appendix 5): five fish, 6 frogs, 20 reptiles, 134 birds, 8 native and 7 introduced mammals.

    Elsevier Editorial System(tm) for Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics Manuscript Draft Manuscript Number: PPEES-D-15-00109R1 Title: Bird pollinators, seed storage and cockatoo granivores explain large woody fruits as best seed defense in Hakea Article Type: Research paper Section/Category: Keywords: Black cockatoo; Crypsis; Fruit and seed size; Granivory; Resprouter; Spinescence Corresponding Author: Prof. Byron Lamont, Corresponding Author's Institution: Curtin University First Author: Byron Lamont Order of Authors: Byron Lamont; Byron Lamont; Mick Hanley; Philip Groom Abstract: Nutrient-impoverished soils with severe summer drought and frequent fire typify many Mediterranean-type regions of the world. Such conditions limit seed production and restrict opportunities for seedling recruitment making protection from granivores paramount. Our focus was on Hakea, a genus of shrubs widespread in southwestern Australia, whose nutritious seeds are targeted by strong-billed cockatoos. We assessed 56 Hakea species for cockatoo damage in 150 populations spread over 900 km in relation to traits expected to deter avian granivory: dense spiny foliage; large, woody fruits; fruit crypsis via leaf mimicry and shielding; low seed stores; and fruit clustering. We tested hypothesises centred on optimal seed defenses in relation to to a) pollination syndrome (bird vs insect), b) fire regeneration strategy (killed vs resprouting) and c) on-plant seed storage (transient vs prolonged). Twenty species in 50 populations showed substantial seed loss from cockatoo granivory. No subregional trends in granivore damage or protective traits were detected, though species in drier, hotter areas were spinier. Species lacking spiny foliage around the fruits (usually bird-pollinated) had much larger (4−5 times) fruits than those with spiny leaves and cryptic fruits (insect-pollinated).

    AUSTRALIAN NATIVE PLANTS SOCIETY AUSTRALIA HAKEA STUDY GROUP NEWSLETTER No. 68 OCTOBER 2018 ISSN0727-7008 Leader: Paul Kennedy 210 Aireys Street, Elliminyt, Vic. 3250 E mail [email protected] Tel. 03-52315569 Dear members. The gardens of our Study Group members have experienced quite dramatic climatic conditions this year. The New England members from Tamworth to Armidale have had very little rain and bitterly cold frosty mornings down as low as minus 10 degrees C. The only way Hakeas survive this degree of frost is if they are planted under a tree canopy. Out further into NSW and southern Queensland the drought has been particularly severe and whilst there are not many Hakea species in this region they will all be stressed. I stopped to have a look at Hakea tephrosperma near Narrandra and all plants had shed their seed. However they are particularly hardy and will survive. In Western Australia the sand plains north and west of Perth are having one of those years when the rains fell at the right times and the flowering season has been one of the best. Barry and Elva Teague will have hundreds of photos of Hakeas in flower by the time they reach Albany for the Hakea excursion. Here in Colac after a dry summer- autumn period the winter rains have been above average and our sandy soils are quite wet. The mornings have been consistently cold, 4 degrees C with most days not getting above 11 degrees C. I often wonder what damage it does to the Hakeas with the absence of sunlight.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

  • Wedgetail Circle, Parkerville Fauna Assessment
    Wedgetail Circle, Parkerville Fauna Assessment Prepared for: Coterra Environment 2/460 Roberts Road, Subiaco, WA 6008 Prepared by: Jeff Turpin, Simon Cherriman and Mike Bamford M.J. & A.R. Bamford Consulting Ecologists 23 Plover Way KINGSLEY WA 6026 14th August 2013 Wedgetail Circle Parkerville Fauna Assessment Executive summary Urbis on behalf of the landowner (Kordamentha) is proposing a residential development on land in the area adjoining Wedgetail Circle at Parkerville in Perth, Western Australia. As part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the project, Bamford Consulting Ecologists (BCE) was commissioned by Coterra Environment to conduct a Level 1 fauna assessment of the proposed development area – termed the “survey area”. The Level 1 fauna assessment included a desktop review and site inspection - with a focus on habitat assessment for threatened Black-Cockatoo species. A Level 1 fauna assessment is required to identify the fauna values of a site so that impacts upon these from any proposed development can be assessed and, where possible, minimised. The survey area (Lot 9503 Wedgetail Circle) lies approximately 25 km north-east of the Perth Central Business District in the outer suburb of Parkerville approximately 6km north-west of the Mundaring townsite. It adjoins the eastern boundary of John Forrest National Park (1577 ha). The survey area is approximately 195 hectares and contains mostly intact native vegetation, with smaller cleared areas previously used for farmland and agriculture. The survey area lies between two existing residential developments along Wedgetail Circle and Hidden Valley Road. The landscape surrounding the proposed development is dominated by rural and residential lots.
