Group B of the criteria: sites of international importance for conserving biological diversity Criteria based Criterion 2: A wetland should be considered internationally important if it on species and supports vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered species or ecological threatened ecological communities. communities Criterion 3: A wetland should be considered internationally important if it supports populations of plant and/or animal species important for maintaining the biological diversity of a particular biogeographic region. Criterion 4: A wetland should be considered internationally important if it supports plant and/or animal species at a critical stage in their life cycles, or provides refuge during adverse conditions.

Saltmarsh supports various salt-tolerant plants, with samphires being the most common and significant in terms of cover in South Australia. There are distinct assemblages of salt-tolerant invertebrates associated with saltmarsh habitats. Saltmarshes provide habitat for fishes, including juveniles of species which utilise other marine habitats, and are an important feeding area for various bird species, including migratory shore birds.

  • Haustrum Scobina) Is an Endemic Direct- Developing Marine Mollusc Found in High Abundances at Rocky Intertidal Environments Across the Entirety of New Zealand
    Abstract: An effective investigation of the underlying ecological processes that shape genetic diversity and connectivity typically requires comparisons among phylogeographic studies of multiple species. Phylogeographic studies of New Zealand’s coastal marine benthos have historically relied on post hoc speculation rather than directed research questions to investigate ecological processes. There has also been a lack of studies on direct developing marine molluscs. Direct developers are expected to have a low potential for dispersal and thus show a pattern of genetic isolation by distance across their distributions. Recent research indicates that this assumption may frequently be violated by instances of long distance dispersal/translocation. The oyster borer (Haustrum scobina) is an endemic direct- developing marine mollusc found in high abundances at rocky intertidal environments across the entirety of New Zealand. This distribution and life history makes H. scobina an ideal target to study genetic connectivity in a species expected to show low realised dispersal and high population genetic structuring. This thesis research used 379 new DNA sequences from the mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) to investigate the phylogeography of H. scobina across the southern North Island. In addition 16 new COI sequences were inadvertently sequenced from the morphologically similar congener Haustrum albomarginatum. Results from both species support the recently proposed division of H. scobina and H. albomarginatum as separate species. H. scobina populations show significant geographic structure and a lack of haplotype diversity across the south- eastern North Island concordant with results of another previous study of a direct developer. This finding suggests that ecological processes may be producing similar population genetic structures for direct developers generally.

Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e54724. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e54724 Abstract Amphibolidae is one of the most abundant families of gastropods in estuarine environments of south-eastern Australia. However, the range limits of the species of Salinator, one of the family’s two genera in the region, remain unclear partly due to uncertainty of identifications based solely on shell morphology. Insufficient data have been collected to address questions regarding the genetic variability of any of the species of Salinator. Here, DNA sequences from a segment of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and 28S ribosomal RNA genes were collected to investigate the distribution and variation of the three Salinator species in the region, these being S. fragilis, S. rhamphidia and S. tecta. The results demonstrate a large range extension in S. rhamphidia and suggest that S. tecta may have limited distribution in Tasmania. In contrast to previously-studied estuarine Mollusca in the south-eastern coasts of the mainland and Tasmania, S. rhamphidia has regional differentiation. There is evidence of genetic disequilibrium within S.

Seven species were common, with the remaining 24 species occurring sporadically, rarely or only once during the study. These seven most common species in order of general abundance were: Arthritica semen, Tellina deltoidalis, Nassarius burchardi, Spisula trigonella, Hydrococcus brazieri, Acteocina sp and Bedeva paivae. The molluscs of Leschenault Inlet can be classified as follows: (1) a stenohaline marine component: Bittium granarium, Mytilus edulis, Polinices conicus, Pholas australasiae, Nassarius nigellus, Solemya australis, Irus crenata, and Venerupis anomala; (2) a euryhaline marine component: Tellina deltoidalis, Tellina sp, Theora lubrica, Sanguinolaria biradiata, Philine angasi, Nassarius burchardi, Bedeva paivae, Spisula trigonella, Epicodakia sp, and Laternula creccina; and (3) a true estuarine component: Acteocina sp, Arthritica semen, Xenostrobus securis, Hydrococcus brazieri, Fluviolanatus subtorta, Assiminea sp, and Salinator sp. Across the inlet in general, molluscs inhabited tidal sand or tidal mud, shallow water platform sand or muddy sand, or deep water basin mud, within lower, middle, or upper estuarine
