    The Avifauna of Mt. Karimui, Chimbu Province, Papua New Guinea, Including Evidence for Long-Term Population Dynamics in Undisturbed Tropical Forest

    Ben Freeman & Alexandra M. Class Freeman 30 Bull. B.O.C. 2014 134(1) The avifauna of Mt. Karimui, Chimbu Province, Papua New Guinea, including evidence for long-term population dynamics in undisturbed tropical forest Ben Freeman & Alexandra M. Class Freeman Received 27 July 2013 Summary.—We conducted ornithological feld work on Mt. Karimui and in the surrounding lowlands in 2011–12, a site frst surveyed for birds by J. Diamond in 1965. We report range extensions, elevational records and notes on poorly known species observed during our work. We also present a list with elevational distributions for the 271 species recorded in the Karimui region. Finally, we detail possible changes in species abundance and distribution that have occurred between Diamond’s feld work and our own. Most prominently, we suggest that Bicolored Mouse-warbler Crateroscelis nigrorufa might recently have colonised Mt. Karimui’s north-western ridge, a rare example of distributional change in an avian population inhabiting intact tropical forests. The island of New Guinea harbours a diverse, largely endemic avifauna (Beehler et al. 1986). However, ornithological studies are hampered by difculties of access, safety and cost. Consequently, many of its endemic birds remain poorly known, and feld workers continue to describe new taxa (Prat 2000, Beehler et al. 2007), report large range extensions (Freeman et al. 2013) and elucidate natural history (Dumbacher et al. 1992). Of necessity, avifaunal studies are usually based on short-term feld work. As a result, population dynamics are poorly known and limited to comparisons of diferent surveys or diferences noticeable over short timescales (Diamond 1971, Mack & Wright 1996).

The assessment program, conducted annually at years 5 and 7 in urban schools and at ages 10 years and above in non-urban schools, monitors achievement in English and mathematics. In 1991, nearly 4,000 urban students and 1,700 non-urban students participated in the testing program. Findings reveal a significant improvement in the achievement of urban students in years 5 and 7 in mathematics in 1991 compared with 1990. Fundamental changes in the reading test mate it impossible to compare the two years. However, evidence suggests that urban school functional literacy and reading comprehension was good, but was not as good in the non-urban schools, where many students appeared unable to perform satisfactorily in tasks required for Stages 4 and 5 of reading and Stage 4 of mathematics.

    Darwin and Northern Territory (06/22/2019 – 07/06/2019) – Birding Report Participants: Corey Callaghan and Diane Callaghan Email: [email protected] Overview: At an Australasian Ornithological Conference in Geelong, November 2017, they announced that the next conference would be in Darwin in 2019. I immediately booked it in the calendar that that is when I would do the typical Darwin birding trip. Diane was on board, and so we decided to do a solid birding trip before the conference in early July. There are some tricky ‘must-get’ birds here, and overall we did pretty well. We ended with 198 species for the trip, and got pretty much all the critical top end birds. Didn’t get any of the mangrove specialties (e.g., whistlers, and fantail), but I was still pleased with how we did. Highlights included all the finches that we saw, and the great spread of waterbirds. Chestnut Rail was also a highlight. When I went to the conference, I dropped Diane off to go hiking at Litchfield National Park, but before that we did a 10 day trip, driving out to Timber Creek and then back. Read below for day- by-day highlights, some photos, and various birding locations. Any hyperlinks should take you to the associated location and/or eBird checklists, which would provide precise coordinates and sometimes more detailed location notes. *Note: I follow the eBird/clements taxonomy, which differs in bird names from IOC. Blue-faced Honeyeater Day 1 (June 22nd, 2019): Flight from Sydney to Darwin We had an early flight from Sydney and got into Darwin at about 2:00 PM.

    MAYORAL INTRODUCTION Accommodating the needs for housing and employment growth in a manner which balances economic, social and environmental outcomes is an important challenge for local councils. The Ballina Shire Growth Management Strategy is the key strategic land use planning document by which the Council establishes how and where projected population and employment growth are to be accommodated over the next 20 years. The strategy will guide the Council in planning services and infrastructure as well as setting the foundation for more detailed planning investigations to be undertaken at the local level. It is also hoped that the strategy will assist residents, community organisations, businesses and other government and non-government agencies in their own planning. David Wright Mayor, Ballina Shire Council EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CONTENTS The purpose of the Ballina Shire Growth 1 INTRODUCTION __________________ 1 Management Strategy is to provide the framework for managing population and employment growth in Ballina Shire, with 2 GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT _____ 6 respect to residential, commercial and industrial development opportunities, over the planning period of 2012-2031. 3 FOUNDATIONS FOR GROWTH ______ 8 The strategy provides for growth by 4 LAND SUPPLY AND DEMAND _____ 15 outlining the process for Council's consideration of significant changes to 5 GROWTH MANAGEMENT Council's land use planning regime.

  • BELL MINER ASSOCIATED DIEBACK in the BORDER RANGES NORTH and SOUTH BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOT - NSW SECTION

    BELL MINER ASSOCIATED DIEBACK in the BORDER RANGES NORTH and SOUTH BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOT - NSW SECTION

    BMAD in the Border Ranges BELL MINER ASSOCIATED DIEBACK in the BORDER RANGES NORTH AND SOUTH BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOT - NSW SECTION. Dailan Pugh March 2018 This review focuses on the extent and effect of Bell Miner Associated Dieback (BMAD) on the NSW section of the Border Ranges (North and South), one of Australia's 15 Biodiversity Hotspots and part of one of the world's 35 Biodiversity Hotspots. The region's forests are recognised as being of World Heritage value. This review relies upon mapping of BMAD undertaken by the Forestry Corporation (DPI) in 2004 and the Forestry unit of the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) from 2015-17. The two DPI aerial visual sketch-mapping exercises were undertaken from a helicopter but map very different areas, which appears to be a methodological problem. To obtain a reasonable estimation both mappings were combined. Comparison with detailed mapping undertaken on the Richmond Range in 2005 shows that the recent mapping is only identifying 38% of the BMAD present, and that even when the two aerial visual sketch-mapping exercises are combined they still only identify 68% of BMAD, so while the DPI mapping has been relied upon herein as the only available regional mapping, the figures need to be considered very conservative. Conclusions from this review of the two DPI Bell Miner Associated Dieback mapping exercises undertaken in the NSW section of the Border Ranges Biodiversity Hotspot, and the 2017 Government literature review, are: • The most recent review confirms the basic process of initiating Bell Miner Associated Dieback (BMAD) as: logging opens up overstorey and disturbs understorey > invasion of lantana > proliferation of Bell Miners (Bellbirds) > proliferation of sap-sucking psyllids > sickening and death of eucalypts.
