    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.

We found the brown minute scavenger beetle (Corticaria sp.) at so many survey plots for the Little Things that Run the City project that we dubbed the species ‘Old Faithful’. I’ve recreated the map of the City of Melbourne within the beetle’s body. Can you trace the outline of Port Phillip Bay? Can you recognise the shape of your suburb? Next time you’re walking in a park or garden in the City of Melbourne, keep a keen eye out for this ubiquitous little beetle.

  • Developing an Attractant for Monitoring Fruit-Feeding Moths in Citrus Orchards
    Developing an attractant for monitoring fruit-feeding moths in citrus orchards A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE of RHODES UNIVERSITY by Mathew Keith Goddard February 2016 Abstract Fruit-piercing moths are a sporadic pest of citrus, especially in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, where the adults can cause significant damage in outbreak years. Currently the only way in which to successfully control fruit-feeding moths within the orchards is the use of repellent lights. However, growers confuse fruit-piercing moths with fruit-sucking moths that don‘t cause primary damage, and there is no way of monitoring which moth species are attacking the fruit in the orchards during the night. In a previous study, banana was shown to be the most attractive bait for a variety of fruit-feeding moth species. Therefore the aim of this study was to determine the population dynamics of fruit-feeding moths develop a cost- effective alternative to the use of fresh banana as a bait for fruit-piercing moths. Fresh banana was compared to nine alternative synthetic attractants, frozen banana and a control under field conditions in several orchards in the Eastern Cape Province. Once again, banana was shown to be the most attractive bait. Some 23 species of fruit-feeding moth species were sampled in the traps, but there was only two fruit-piercing species, Serrodes partita (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Eudocima sp. Surprisingly S. partita, which was thought to be the main pest, comprised only 6.9% of trap catches. Serrodes partita, is a sporadic pest, only becoming problematic every five to 10 years after good rainfall in the Little Karoo region that causes flushes of their larval host, wild plum, Pappea capensis (Ecklon & Zeyher).

    Cunninghamia Date of Publication: July 2019 A journal of plant ecology for eastern Australia ISSN 0727- 9620 (print) • ISSN 2200 - 405X (Online) A Preliminary Checklist of Flower-visiting Insects from Syzygium floribundum, Syzygium smithii and Tristaniopsis laurina: three members of the Myrtle Rust-vulnerable plant family Myrtaceae. Geoff Williams1 and Paul Adam2 1Lorien Wildlife Refuge and Conservation Area, Lansdowne via Taree, NSW 2430. Honorary Research Associate, Australian Museum, College Street, Sydney, NSW 2000 AUSTRALIA. 2School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Science, University of New South Wales, Kensington, NSW 2052 AUSTRALIA. Abstract: Insects visiting flowering trees of Syzygium floribundum, Syzygium smithii and Tristaniopsis laurina (Myrtaceae) were recorded in lowland subtropical rainforest communities in the Manning Valley, mid-north coast of New South Wales. These species are visited by a taxonomically broad assemblage of insects, many of which are known to frequent other rainforest- and open forest- flowering plant species. Consequently there is likely to be a regional pool of potential pollinators found throughout the range of each plant. Key Words: Syzygium floribundum, Syzygium smithii, Tristaniopsis laurina, Myrtaceae, endangered ecological communities, subtropical rainforest, wet sclerophyll forest, pollination, anthophilous insects, Myrtle rust, Austropuccinia psidii, extinction events.

  • NOTES. a COIN of EPATICCUS. the Photograph Is of a Coin Picked Up
    246 HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB NOTES. A COIN OF EPATICCUS. HE photograph is of a coin picked up by Mr. B. R. Browning of Forest of Bere Farm, Ashley, in the summer of 1938 lying Ton the site of the Ashley Roman Camp as shown in Dr. Williams- Freeman's work on "Field Archaeology in Hampshire" on page 351. Mr. C. H. V. Sutherland, Assistant Keeper of Coins in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, has been good enough to furnish the following report on the coin :— Obv. J EPATI (the cross-strokes of the E very short). Beardless head r., wearing the lion's skin of Hercules, the paws knotted beneath his chin : to the left, behind the head, a curved object with a pellet enclosed by its lower loop : border of dots. Rev. (No inscription.) Eagle standing facing, with head turned left and wings spread, on a serpent which raises its head to right : above, and to right of the eagle's head, a small circle enclosing a pellet: border of dots. Silver 1-32 gm. (= 20-4 grains); 13 mm. (= -5in.). Dies TT. (See J. Evans, The Coins of the Ancient Britons, Plate VIII, 13.) The full name of this British prince, Epaticcu(s), is found on the very rare gold coins which he struck (c/. Evans op. cit., Plate VIII, 12); and it is from the gold that we learn also that he was TASCI(ovani) F(ilius), i.e., son of that Tasciovanus whose coins, by their distribution, attest a kingdom between Thames and Wash, and thus brother of Cunobelinus—better known as Cymbeline— whose kingdom appears from the evidence of coin-finds to have been firmly established in East Anglia and Kent.1 Although Epaticcus' silver is not so rare as his gold, it is never­ theless scarce enough to make it difficult to judge with any exact­ ness the area in which his money was current.
