  • A New Freshwater Catfish (Pisces: Ariidae) from Northern Australia
    Rec. West. Aust. Mus. 1988,14(1): 73-89 A new freshwater catfish (Pisces: Ariidae) from northern Australia PatriciaJ. Kailola* and Bryan E. Pierce* Abstract A new species of fork-tailed catfish is described on the basis of 31 specimens collected in northern Australia between the Fitzroy River (Western Australia) and the Mitchell River (Queensland). Arius midgleyi sp. novo grows to at least 1.3 m TL and is distinguished from other Australo-Papuan ariids by a combination of charac­ ters including snout shape, barbel length, eye size, tooth arrangement and gill raker number and position. Comparison is made with other ariid species occurring in northern Australian rivers, including the morphologically similar A. leptaspis (Bleeker). Introduction The Timor Sea and Gulf of Carpentaria drainage systems (Lake 1971) approx­ imately represent the Leichhardtian zoogeographic region of Whitley (1947). The rainfall pattern in this region is dominated by the wet monsoon (occurring within the period November to April). Most rivers here traverse a flat coastal plain about 15 km wide before reaching the sea (Lake 1971). These rivers commonly possess wide flood plains and low gradients, often contracting to a chain of waterholes during the dry season; some (Gregory River; Fitzroy to Daly Rivers) have reaches of rapids or very deep gorges. The average annual discharge from this region is 69000 billion litres (Lake 1971), most of it occurring during the wet season. Five of Australia's 18 species of fork-tailed catfishes (Ariidae) are common in this northern region, yet were overlooked by Whitley (1947) and Iredale and Whitley (1938). The members of this family, which is distributed circumglobally in the tropics and subtropics, may inhabit the sea, rivers within tidal influence, or fresh waters.

  • Testudines: Chelidae) of Australia, New Guinea and Indonesia

With 7 figures Electrophoretic delineation of species boundaries within the genus Chelodina (Testudines: Chelidae) of Australia, New Guinea and Indonesia ARTHUR GEORGES1*, MARK ADAMS2 and WILLIAM McCORD3 1Applied Ecology Research Group, University of Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia 2Evolutionary Biology Unit, South Australian Museum, North Terrace, Adelaide, SA 5001, Australia 3East Fishkill Animal Hospital, 285 Rt 82, Hopewell Junction NY 12533, USA Received February 2001; revised and accepted for publication June 2001 A total of 281 specimens of long-necked chelid turtles (Chelodina) were obtained from drainages of Australia, Papua New Guinea and the island of Roti in Indonesia. Ten diagnosable taxa were identified using allozyme profiles at 45 presumptive loci. Chelodina expansa, C. parkeri, C. rugosa and C. burrungandjii are in a Group A clade, C. longi- collis, C. novaeguineae, C. steindachneri, C. pritchardi and C. mccordi are in a Group B clade, and C. oblonga is in a monotypic Group C clade, with each clade thought to represent a distinct subgenus. Chelodina siebenrocki is syn- onymised with C. rugosa. An eleventh taxon, C. reimanni, could not be distinguished from C. novaeguineae on the basis of allozyme profiles, but it is morphologically distinct. Its status is therefore worthy of further investigation. Three instances of natural hybridization were detected. Chelodina rugosa and C. novaeguineae hybridize in the Gulf country of Queensland, with evidence of backcrossing to C. novaeguineae. Chelodina longicollis and C. novaeguineae hybridize in central coastal Queensland, and C. rugosa and C. burrungandjii hybridize along their zone of contact in the plateau escarpment streams and pools.

  • In Ngukurr: a Remote Australian Aboriginal Community
    Understanding ‘Work’ in Ngukurr: A Remote Australian Aboriginal Community Eva McRae-Williams (BA, BBH, MA) September 2008 Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for: Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) Charles Darwin University Statement of Authorship Except where referenced in the text of the research project, this dissertation contains no material published elsewhere or extracted in whole or part from a thesis or report by me for another degree or diploma. No other person’s work has been used without due acknowledgement in the main text of the dissertation. The dissertation has not been submitted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any other tertiary institution. Eva McRae-Williams Date: ……………… ii Abstract This thesis is an ethnographic study of the ‘work’ ideologies inherent in a remote Australian Aboriginal community; Ngukurr in South East Arnhem Land of the Northern Territory. Formerly known as the Roper River Mission and established in 1908, it is today home to approximately 1000 Aboriginal inhabitants. Fieldwork for this project was conducted in three phases between 2006 and 2007 totalling seven months. The aim of this research was to gain an insight into the meaning and value of ‘work’ for Aboriginal people in Ngukurr. First, this involved acknowledging the centrality of paid employment to mainstream western ‘work’ ideology and its influence on my own, and other non-Aboriginal peoples, understandings and ways of being in the world. Through this recognition the historical and contemporary relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in the northern part of Australia, specifically the Roper River region, was found to be fundamentally shaped by labour relations and dominant western ‘work’ ideology.

  • Threatened Species Survey Report For
    Threatened species ‘likelihood of occurrence’ assessment This ‘likelihood of occurrence’ assessment identifies which threatened species have potential to occur within the project footprint. The following procedure was used to determine the likelihood of occurrence of threatened species: 1) Identify potential habitat features within the project footprint using available desktop information (i.e. land unit mapping, existing vegetation mapping, aerial imagery, fire history etc.). 2) Identify: a. Matters of National Environmental Significance obtained using the Protected Matters Search Tool (undertaken January 2017). b. Bioregional threatened species records extracted from the NT flora and fauna atlases maintained by DENR. 3) Collate the following details for each of those species – conservation status (NT and Federal), habitat requirements, distribution and number of records within the bioregions. 4) Analyse the likelihood that each species will occur in the project footprint by applying the following likelihood classifications: a. HIGH – it is expected that this species will be within the project footprint because of the presence of core suitable habitat, and/or there are recent proximate records (i.e. post-2000). b. MEDIUM – this species may occur within the project footprint; however, there is evidence that lowers its likelihood of occurrence (i.e. lack of core habitat, no recent records with the search area, habitat degradation etc.). c. LOW – it is not expected that this species is supported within the project footprint, as there is no suitable habitat for the species and/or current threats in the region are known to have significantly impacted upon the species. d. NONE – there is strong evidence that this species will not occur within the project footprint.
