  • Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001
    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001. Preface This bibliography attempts to list all substantial autobiographies, biographies, festschrifts and obituaries of prominent oceanographers, marine biologists, fisheries scientists, and other scientists who worked in the marine environment published in journals and books after 1922, the publication date of Herdman’s Founders of Oceanography. The bibliography does not include newspaper obituaries, government documents, or citations to brief entries in general biographical sources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, and then chronologically by date of publication under a legend that includes the full name of the individual, his/her date of birth in European style(day, month in roman numeral, year), followed by his/her place of birth, then his date of death and place of death. Entries are in author-editor style following the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 14th ed., 1993). Citations are annotated to list the language if it is not obvious from the text. Annotations will also indicate if the citation includes a list of the scientist’s papers, if there is a relationship between the author of the citation and the scientist, or if the citation is written for a particular audience. This bibliography of biographies of scientists of the sea is based on Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre’s bibliography of biographies first published annually beginning with issue 4 of the History of Oceanography Newsletter (September 1992). It was supplemented by a bibliography maintained by Eric L. Mills and citations in the biographical files of the Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.

  • Early South Australian Records of the Western Grasswren Amytornis Textilis Myall
    Aerial diving display, with calling, by Black Falcon Falco subniger D.J. Whelan 24 Manning Boulevard, Darley VIC 3440, Australia Email: [email protected] Australian Field Ornithology 2014, 31, 43–49 Early South Australian records of the Western Grasswren Amytornis textilis myall Andrew B. Black South Australian Museum, North Terrace, Adelaide SA 5000, Australia Email: [email protected] Summary. Records show that the naturalist–collector F.W. Andrews provided five specimens of the Western Grasswren Amytornis textilis myall from the Gawler Ranges for the South Australian Museum, Adelaide (SAMA), in the 1870s, but there is evidence suggesting that he obtained others in that period. Two of these specimens are retained in the collection of the Institut royal des Sciences naturelles de Belgique, Brussels, Belgium, and one each in the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris, France, and the Macleay Museum, Sydney. Four ‘Amytis textilis’ sent elsewhere have not been located recently and another two were evidently discarded from the SAMA around 1882. The first of the records that these specimens represent precedes the previously acknowledged earliest observations of the northern Eyre Peninsula– Gawler Ranges subspecies in 1902 by 31 years (Chenery 1903) and the recognition of their taxonomic status by 45 years (Mathews 1916). Introduction The first to publish a report of the Western Grasswren Amytornis textilis (Quoy & Gaimard, 1824) in South Australia (SA) was Chenery (1903) although he did not name it, simply listing it as ‘Amytis – (?)’. He and Morgan (1924) saw these grasswrens on Nonning and Mount Ive Stations, central Gawler Ranges, in August 1902 and took two specimens, which Morgan donated ~10 years later to the South Australian Museum, Adelaide (SAMA) (B7359 and B7360) (Zietz 1913).

Current EPBC Act Status: Amytornis modestus listed as Vulnerable (subspecies not listed) Current NSW BC Act Status: Amytornis modestus inexpectatus listed as Critically Endangered Proposed listing on NSW BC Act and EPBC Act: Extinct Conservation Advice: Thick-billed Grasswren Amytornis modestus inexpectatus (Matthews, 1912) Summary of Conservation Assessment Amytornis modestus inexpectatus (Matthews, 1912) (Thick-billed Grasswren) found to be eligible for listing as extinct as at the time of this review there is no reasonable doubt that the last member of the species has died. Exhaustive surveys in known and/or expected habitat, at appropriate times (diurnal, seasonal, annual), and throughout its historical range have failed to record any individuals. Habitat change within the inferred range of this species has been substantial and remaining suitable habitat is uncommon and considered to be comprehensively surveyed. Description and Taxonomy Amytornis modestus (North, 1902) (Thick-billed Grasswren) is one of 11 presently recognised species within the purely continental Australian genus Amytornis (Black 2016). Until recently the species A. textilis was recognised across Australia, however since 2010 the eastern and western populations have been placed in A.m modestus (Thick-billed Grasswren) and Amytornis textilis (Western Grasswren), respectively (Christidis et al. 2010). A recent taxonomic assessment identified seven subspecies of A.

Jansen1 and Jérôme Fuchs2 Abstract The results of archival and collection research into the expedition led by Nicolas-Thomas Baudin in 1796–1798 to Tenerife, St. Thomas, St. Croix, and Puerto Rico are herein presented. The expedition brought home at least 296 specimens and was the first to collect in St. Thomas, St. Croix, and Puerto Rico. Of these, at least 140 specimens still survive, the largest sin- gle-voyage collection from pre-1800 still available. Accounts of these specimens and those known to have vanished are present- ed here for the first time, adding to our knowledge of early Caribbean ornithology. The arguments of David K. Wetherbee (1985, 1986) that thefts by the Baudin expedition took place during a foray into Hispaniola are all shown to be suspect. Molecular and morphological work identified a Barn Owl Tyto( alba ssp) supposedly collected in Puerto Rico, thus providing the first possible documentation of the Barn Owl in Puerto Rico, but its exact taxonomic status remains unresolved. Our data thus cannot exclude the genuine Puerto Rican origin for this specimen.

  • Island Protection – Dirk Hartog Island National Park

Photo - Richard Manning Return to 1616 – Ecological Restoration Project Dirk Hartog Island is Western Australia’s largest island. When visited by Dirk Hartog in 1616, the island was in pristine condition with a rich mammal fauna and flourishing vegetation. Since this first European landing on Australian soil, introduced plants and animals have degraded the island causing the local extinction of native species. Return to 1616 is an ambitious project helping to restore the island’s natural ecosystems. Introduced sheep and goats have been removed because their grazing and trampling damages native plants and reduces the food and shelter available for native animals. Feral cats are efficient hunters and have been eradicated from the island to make it safe for native animal species that are gradually being returned. These are the Shark Bay bandicoot, dibbler, chuditch, brush-tailed mulgara, greater stick-nest rat, desert mouse, Shark Bay mouse, heath mouse, woylie, boodie and western grasswren. In addition, rufous and banded hare-wallabies, have been included to improve their long-term survival. These animals are in need of conservation protection. Some are threatened and others extinct on the mainland. To find out more about the project, visit www.

  • The Names You Know, the People You Don't – Dr. Heinrich Kuhl & Dr
    TThhee NNaammeess YYoouu KKnnooww,, tthhee PPeeooppllee YYoouu DDoonn’’tt:: Dr. Heinrich Kuhl & Dr. Johan van Hasselt Derek P.S. Tustin I’ve fallen into a bit of a trap when thinking about the various ichthyological explorers I’ve been introducing you to. I first wrote on Dr. Marinus Boeseman who passed away at the age of 90. Next I wrote on Dr. Herbert Axelrod, who is still alive and will be celebrating his 84th birthday this year. That was followed by my introducing and interviewing Dr. Gerald Allen who is currently 68 years of age. Last month it was Dr. Louis Agassiz who passed at the age of 66. (May we all live such long lives.) I had come to expect that the honour of having a species of anything named after a person implied that the person had lived a long life full of scientific contributions. But I encountered two extraordinary gentlemen who proved that a long life is not necessarily a reflection of the quality or quantity of contributions to science. I would like to introduce you to not one but two individuals who were on a pace to become great explorers, but were both cut down in the prime of their lives; Dr. Heinrich Kuhl and Dr. Johan Coenraad van Hasselt. Dr. Heinrich Kuhl Born on September 17th, 1797 in the small German town of Hanau, Heinrich grew up with an interest in nature that was encouraged under the tutelage of Johann Leisler, a noted German naturalist and friend of his fathers. He went on to study natural history at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.
