    Rec. West. Aust. Mus., 1976,4 (2) THE GENUS MENETIA (LACERTILIA, SCINCIDAE) IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA G.M. STORR* [Received 1 July 1975. Accepted 1 October 1975. Published 30 September 1976.] ABSTRACT The Australian genus Menetia comprises at least five species, three of which occur in Western Australia, namely M. greyii Gray, M. maini novo and M. surda novo A lectotype is designated for M. greyii. INTRODUCTION Until recently all skinks with an immovable transparent lower eyelid were placed in Ablepharus. Fuhn (1969) broke up this polyphyletic assemblage, allotting the Australian species to nine groups, including the genus Menetia. Fuhn, and indeed all workers till now, regarded Menetia as monotypic. Greer (1974) believes that Menetia is derived from the genus Carlia. All the material used in this revision is lodged in the Western Australian Museum. Genus Menetia Gray Menetia Gray, 1845, 'Catalogue of the specimens of lizards in the collection ofthe British Museum', p.65. Type-species (by monotypy): M. greyii Gray. * Curator of Birds and Reptiles, W.A. Museum. 189 Diagnosis Very small, smooth, terrestrial skinks with lower eyelid immovable and bearing a large circular transparent disc incompletely surrounded by granules; digits 4 + 5; first supraocular long and narrow and obliqu~ly orientated. Distribution Most of Australia except the wettest and coolest regions. At least five species, three of them in Western Australia. Description Snout-vent length up to 38 mm. Tail fragile, 1.2-2.0 times as long as snout to vent. Nasals usually separated widely. No supranasals or postnasals. Prefrontals usually separated very narrowly. Frontal small, little if any larger than prefrontals.

The riparian fl ora and plant communities of the Pilbara region of Western Australia M.N. Lyons Department of Parks and Wildlife, Science and Conservation Division, Kieran McNamara Conservation Science Centre, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Western Australia 6983, Australia. Email: [email protected] Abstract – A survey of riparian fl ora and plant communities was undertaken at 98 wetlands and rivers in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Sampling was quadrat-based, with fl oristics, surface soils and wetland attributes recorded. Selected sites captured the full range of Pilbara wetland types including springs, river pools, claypans, salt marshes and rock pools. A total of 455 taxa was recorded from the survey sites, representing ca. 25% of the known fl ora of the Pilbara bioregion. The fl ora is dominated by taxa with Eremaean and tropical affi nities, with only six taxa endemic in the region. Of recorded taxa known from four or fewer bioregions, most are shared with the adjacent Carnarvon and Gascoyne bioregions rather than the adjoining internally draining deserts. Sixteen taxa of conservation signifi cance were documented, with claypans, the Fortescue Marsh, and Millstream and Karijini National Park sites dominating occurrences of rare species. Eight major groups were defi ned by classifying wetlands in terms of species presence/absence data. Floristic patterning was strongly aligned with the major wetland types (geomorphic/hydrological) used in the primary sampling stratifi cation. A combination of wetland morphology/hydrological setting, site edaphic attributes and distance to the coast were dominant variables related to riparian fl oristic composition.
  • Groundwater Resource Assessment and Conceptualization in the Pilbara Region, Western Australia

    Groundwater Resource Assessment and Conceptualization in the Pilbara Region, Western Australia

    Earth Systems and Environment https://doi.org/10.1007/s41748-018-0051-0 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Groundwater Resource Assessment and Conceptualization in the Pilbara Region, Western Australia Rodrigo Rojas1 · Philip Commander2 · Don McFarlane3,4 · Riasat Ali5 · Warrick Dawes3 · Olga Barron3 · Geof Hodgson3 · Steve Charles3 Received: 25 January 2018 / Accepted: 8 May 2018 © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The Pilbara region is one of the most important mining hubs in Australia. It is also a region characterised by an extreme climate, featuring environmental assets of national signifcance, and considered a valued land by indigenous people. Given the arid conditions, surface water is scarce, shows large variability, and is an unreliable source of water for drinking and industrial/mining purposes. In such conditions, groundwater has become a strategic resource in the Pilbara region. To date, however, an integrated regional characterization and conceptualization of the occurrence of groundwater resources in this region were missing. This article addresses this gap by integrating disperse knowledge, collating available data on aquifer properties, by reviewing groundwater systems (aquifer types) present in the region and identifying their potential, and propos- ing conceptualizations for the occurrence and functioning of the groundwater systems identifed. Results show that aquifers across the Pilbara Region vary substantially and can be classifed in seven main types: coastal alluvial systems, concealed channel

    Original Distribution of Trichosurus Vulpecula (Marsupialia: Phalangeridae) in Western Australia, with Particular Reference to Occurrence Outside the Southwest

    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 95: 83–93, 2012 Original distribution of Trichosurus vulpecula (Marsupialia: Phalangeridae) in Western Australia, with particular reference to occurrence outside the southwest I ABBOTT Department of Environment and Conservation, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, WA 6983, Australia. ! [email protected] Trichosurus vulpecula, ‘common brushtail possum’, is currently considered to have never occurred in ~20% of Western Australia. This paper reports the results of a survey of historical sources, showing that the species was widely known to Aborigines and was once more broadly distributed, and may have occurred across almost all of Western Australia in 1829, the year of first settlement by Europeans. A remarkable contraction in geographical range commenced ca 1880, caused by an epizootic, and continued from ca 1920–1960 as a result of depredation by foxes (Vulpes vulpes). Some 220 Aboriginal names from outside the southwest were discovered. These are tabulated, and most can be reduced to seven regional names. Several or all of these names appear suitable for adoption into regional use in Western Australia. The current vernacular name is now inaccurate (the species is no longer common anywhere in Western Australia and is not closely related to the Virginia opossum, Didelphys virginiana, which belongs to a different family of marsupials), and should be replaced by one or more Aboriginal names.

During this survey, 304 sites were sampled for small ground-dwelling mammals, birds, reptiles, spiders, ants, beetles and scorpions. A further 98 sites were sampled for wetland invertebrates, aquatic macrophytes and fringing riparian vegetation. Data for these two groups of sites were aggregated separately (i.e. terrestrial fauna and wetland biodiversity) and models of turnover in species composition within each data set were developed using generalised dissimilarity modelling (GDM). A wide range of environmental variables was assessed as predictors of compositional turnover – biotic (vegetation cover indices), climate, landform, hydrologic, regolith (soil and geology) and geographic distance.
  • Parkinsonia Control in the De Grey Catchment

    Parkinsonia Control in the De Grey Catchment

    FACT SHEET No 3: PARKINSONIA CONTROL PARKINSONIA CONTROL IN THE DE GREY CATCHMENT Background: Parkinsonia is a highly invasive spiny shrub or small tree native to central and South America, that ranges from 2 to 8 metres in height, and is capable of forming dense, often impenetrable thorny thickets, particularly on floodplains and water courses. Floating seed pods and seeds are spread along water courses and by flood waters on floodplains. Parkinsonia is a declared pest under the Western Australian Biosecurity and Agricultural Management Act 2007 (BAM Act) and is also considered a weed of national significance (WoNS). The species has potential to impact on cultural, pastoral and ecological values and currently occurs along the De Grey River. Previous efforts to control the weed over the past 30 years have predominantly been through herbicide application which is laborious, expensive, introduces chemicals to the environment and requires multiple treatments. In 2010, surveys identified the De Grey catchment had the most significant Parkinsonia infection in the Pilbara, where there was 30,000 hectares of Parkinsonia infestations along around 200 kilometres of river.

Nullagine River Oakover River June 2017 FACT SHEET No 3: PARKINSONIA CONTROL Control programs: Basal Herbicide Spraying - There have been many grants funded over the years to spray the stems of Parkinsonia plants along the De Grey catchment. A typical annual grant would have been around $80,000 to $120,000 per annum, with a combination of contractors and volunteer pastoral station labour spraying the Parkinsonia.
