  • Guidelines for Keeping Venomous Snakes in the NT
    GUIDELINES FOR KEEPING VENOMOUS SNAKES IN THE NT Venomous snakes are potentially dangerous to humans, and for this reason extreme caution must be exercised when keeping or handling them in captivity. Prospective venomous snake owners should be well informed about the needs and requirements for keeping these animals in captivity. Permits The keeping of protected wildlife in the Northern Territory is regulated by a permit system under the Territory Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act 2006 (TPWC Act). Conditions are included on permits, and the Parks and Wildlife Commission of the Northern Territory (“PWCNT”) may issue infringement notices or cancel permits if conditions are breached. A Permit to Keep Protected Wildlife enables people to legally possess native vertebrate animals in captivity in the Northern Territory. The permit system assists the PWCNT to monitor wildlife kept in captivity and to detect any illegal activities associated with the keeping of, and trade in, native wildlife. Venomous snakes are protected throughout the Northern Territory and may not be removed from the wild without the appropriate licences and permits. People are required to hold a Keep Permit (Category 1–3) to legally keep venomous snakes in the Northern Territory. Premises will be inspected by PWCNT staff to evaluate their suitability prior to any Keep Permit (Category 1– 3) being granted. Approvals may also be required from local councils, the Northern Territory Planning Authority, and the Department of Health and Community Services. Consignment of venomous snakes between the Northern Territory and other States and Territories can only be undertaken with an appropriate import / export permit. There are three categories of venomous snake permitted to be kept in captivity in the Northern Territory: Keep Permit (Category 1) – Mildly Dangerous Venomous Keep Permit (Category 2) – Dangerous Venomous Keep Permit (Category 3) – Highly Dangerous Venomous Venomous snakes must be obtained from a legal source (i.e.

McEwan, Ph.D. Committee Member Associate Professor Department of Biology Mark G. Nielsen Ph.D. Committee Member Associate Professor Department of Biology ii © Copyright by Stephanie Kay Gunter All rights reserved 2021 iii ABSTRACT CAN THE ONE TRUE BUG BE THE ONE TRUE ANSWER? THE INFLUENCE OF PRAIRIE RESTORATION ON HEMIPTERA COMPOSITION Name: Gunter, Stephanie Kay University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Chelse M. Prather Ohio historically hosted a patchwork of tallgrass prairies, which provided habitat for native species and prevented erosion. As these vulnerable habitats have declined in the last 200 years due to increased human land use, restorations of these ecosystems have increased, and it is important to evaluate their success. The Hemiptera (true bugs) are an abundant and varied order of insects including leafhoppers, aphids, cicadas, stink bugs, and more. They play important roles in grassland ecosystems, feeding on plant sap and providing prey to predators. Hemipteran abundance and composition can respond to grassland restorations, age of restoration, and size and isolation of habitat.

    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.

However, very few studies about microbial communities have considered habitat and external environmental variables. This study examined environmental influences on the microbial community of Pachygrontha antennata, which is found in various habitats (e.g., urban, forested, and agricultural areas). The results demonstrated that the composition of the microbial community differed according to land use, while the bacterial diversity did not. In urban areas with high environmental heterogeneity, microbial community diversity tended to be high. Furthermore, bacteria in forests and agricultural areas (e.g., Paraburkholderia, Burkholderia) have been found to be highly correlated with habitat variables. Therefore, we suggest that habitat variables should be considered in future symbiotic studies. Keywords: pachygronthidae; pachygrontha antennata; microbial community; land use; habitat variable 1. Introduction A microbial community refers to all of the intracellular and extracellular bacteria that exist within a single organism.

Henke, Ph.D. (Chair of Department) _________________________________ Ambrose Anoruo, Ph.D. (Associate VP for Research & Dean, College of Graduate Studies) August 2011 ABSTRACT Changes in Arthropod Abundance and Diversity with Invasive Grasses (August 2011) Erin E. Cord, B.S., University Of Delaware Chairman of Committee: Dr. Andrea R. Litt Invasive grasses can alter plant communities and can potentially affect arthropods due to specialized relationships with certain plants as food resources and reproduction sites. Kleberg bluestem (Dichanthium annulatum) is a non-native grass and tanglehead (Heteropogon contortus) is native to the United States, but recently has become dominant in south Texas. I sought to: 1) quantify changes in plant and arthropod communities in invasive grasses compared to native grasses, and 2) determine if grass origin would alter effects. I sampled vegetation and arthropods on 90 grass patches in July and September 2009 and 2010 on the King Ranch in southern Texas. Arthropod communities in invasive grasses were less diverse and abundant, compared to native grasses; I also documented differences in presence and abundance of certain orders and families.

  • Action Statement Floraflora and and Fauna Fauna Guarantee Guarantee Act Act 1988 1988 No
    Action Statement FloraFlora and and Fauna Fauna Guarantee Guarantee Act Act 1988 1988 No. No. ### 108 Hooded Scaly-foot Pygopus nigriceps Description and Distribution The Hooded Scaly-foot Pygopus nigriceps belongs to the reptile family Pygopodidae, the legless or flap-footed lizards. Legless lizards are superficially snake-like; they lack forelimbs, and the hind limbs are reduced to a scaly flap just above the vent. Whilst their eyes are lidless and snake-like, there are several features that distinguish legless lizards from snakes. Most legless lizards have an obvious ear aperture, lacking in all snakes, and a broad fleshy tongue, compared to the deeply forked tongue of snakes. Most legless lizards also have a tail that, when unbroken, is considerably longer than their body. In contrast, the tail of snakes is considerably Hooded Scaly-foot, Pygopus nigriceps shorter than their body. The genus Pygopus Illustration by Peter Robertson Wildlife Profiles P/L © differs from other legless lizards on the basis of the combination of the following features: head covered with enlarged, symmetrical scales; smooth (compared to keeled) ventral scales; and the possession of eight or more preanal pores. Two species of Pygopus occur in Victoria. The Hooded Scaly-foot is a large legless lizard, attaining a total length of 475mm, and a snout- vent length of about 180mm. Females reach larger sizes than males. Variable in colour, the Hooded Scaly-foot may be pale grey to reddish-brown on the dorsal surface and whitish on the ventral surface. The dorsal scales may be dark-edged, forming a reticulated pattern, or individual pale and dark scales may form a vague longitudinal pattern.
