Field Techniques in Bird Studies Course Report Field Techniques in Bird Studies Course Report Nov. 22nd – Nov 28th 2015- Lauren Gilson & Joe Porter Each year a small group of ornithologists meets at the Eyre Bird Observatory for a short course on techniques for studying birds. In 2015, course leader Tegan Douglas was presenting her own bird study results to ornithologists at the Australasian Ornithological Conference and Society for Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry conference, and so the course was led by Lauren Gilson. Bush fires almost blocked the southern migration of participants, but after determining that we would be safe from fire danger and smoke at Newman Rocks, Lauren and four of this year’s participants departed for our rendezvous with herpetologist/naturalist Joe Porter. At the Observatory, students William Oversby (supported by BirdLife WA), Angus McFarlane (supported by the Sowilo Community High School), Annika Baynham, and Hayden Ajduk were joined by former EBO caretakers/current course participants Danie and Delene van Dyk, and current EBO caretakers/former course participants, Alan and Wendy Pilkington. Wendy instructing Angus while Lauren records Surveying along Kanidal Beach Alan with Danie, Hayden & Annika The mist-netting session got everyone’s hands onto some birds, with New Holland Honeyeaters and Silvereyes volunteering in equal numbers to help train our flocks in extracting and processing captured birds. A single Blue-breasted Fairy-wren and White-browed Scrubwren provided a modicum of variety, with three Singing Honeyeaters and three Welcome Swallows completing the species list. Seven of 51 processed birds were recaptures, with most having been recently banded in the preceding months (the oldest from 2014). Alan and Wendy Pilkington supervised the instruction of extracting, banding, and scribing methods; the relatively light sampling enabled participants to take time practicing measurement and moult evaluation. It also enabled us to discuss how banding could be used and misused, and the kinds of information that may be extrapolated from a mist-net sampling effort.

Joe and Wendy The grid survey effort around the station detected 28 species, and the resultant territory mapping gave participants a visual sense of variations in behaviour and habitat preferences, relative density and diversity, and spatial overlap that could suggest niche partitioning. During the line transect sampling along the West Track, observers detected 25 species, five of which were sampled at rates adequate for plotting accumulation curves that estimate birds per hectare. Students attempted to undertake a behavioural observation with the aim of generating a behavioural foraging interaction key, but with few plants in flower this season, interactions afield were limited and observable movements were restricted on windy days. We focused on the broader surveying methods, including one Atlas survey along Kanidal Beach. Caretakers Wendy and Alan Pilkington were significant contributors to the course this year, having recently obtained the A-class banding authorities and having travelled far and wide honing their own bird study skills. They brought to the table their greater familiarity with monitoring schemes and bird study efforts throughout Australia, and their contributions to the evening “around-table” discussion sessions complemented our field-focal sampling. Joe Porter also shared his herpetological expertise, collecting mark-and-recapture data on two species through the pitfall trapping line, and conducting some spotlighting searches; two snakes and 8 lizards were recorded opportunistically. Reptile Trapping Pit fall traps (funnels) were utilised from Saturday 22th to Friday the 27th. Traps were checked morning and afternoon. Reptiles were sexed and marked for mark-recapture. Nineteen captures consisting of two species were recorded during the week of trapping. There was one Ctenotus euclae and three Ctenphorus maculatus recaptured.

  • Ecology, Life-History, and Behavior in the Australian Scincid Genus Egernia, with Comments on the Evolution of Complex Sociality in Lizards
    Herpetological Monographs, 17, 2003, 145–180 Ó 2003 by The Herpetologists’ League, Inc. ECOLOGY, LIFE-HISTORY, AND BEHAVIOR IN THE AUSTRALIAN SCINCID GENUS EGERNIA, WITH COMMENTS ON THE EVOLUTION OF COMPLEX SOCIALITY IN LIZARDS 1 DAVID G. CHAPPLE School of Botany and Zoology, Australian National University, Canberra ACT 0200, Australia ABSTRACT: Squamate reptiles generally have been ignored in the search for a unified theory for the evolution of sociality due to the perception that they exhibit little social behavior beyond territoriality and dominance hierarchies and display polygynous mating systems. However a growing body of research has revealed unsuspected levels of social complexity and diversity in mating systems within the squamate lineage, particularly among the members of the Australian Scincid genus Egernia. Several species of Egernia are amongst the most highly social of all squamate reptiles, exhibiting stable social aggregations and high levels of long-term social and genetic monogamy. Social complexity is widespread within the Egernia genus, with reports of social aggregations in 23 of the 30 described species. The purpose of this review was to examine the potential for the Egernia genus as a model system for study of the evolution of sociality and monogamy within squamate reptiles. Current evidence indicates there is substantial variability in social complexity both within and between species, with social organization covering the spectrum from solitary to highly social. Four highly social Egernia species are known to live in stable social aggregations consisting of closely related individuals (adults, subadults, juveniles; i.e., ‘family’ groups) that appear to utilize chemical cues to recognize group members (kin recognition).

  • Innes National Park Management Plan
    Innes National Park Management Plan Southern Yorke Peninsula June 2003 Our Parks, Our Heritage, Our Legacy Cultural richness and diversity are the marks of a great society. It is these qualities that are basic to our humanity. They are the foundation of our value systems and drive our quest for purpose and contentment. Cultural richness embodies morality, spiritual well-being, the rule of law, reverence for life, human achievement, creativity and talent, options for choice, a sense of belonging, personal worth and an acceptance of responsibility for the future. Biological richness and diversity are, in turn, important to cultural richness and communities of people. When a community ceases to value and protect its natural landscapes, it erodes the richness and wholeness of its cultural foundation. In South Australia, we are privileged to have a network of parks, reserves and protected areas that continue to serve as benchmarks against which we can measure progress and change brought about by our society. They are storehouses of nature’s rich diversity, standing as precious biological and cultural treasures. It is important to realise that survival of species in ‘island’ reserves surrounded by agriculture or urban areas is uncertain, and that habitat links between reserves are essential for their long-term value as storehouses. As a result of more than a century of conserving nature and cultural items, we possess a “legacy” which is worth passing on to future generations. There are twelve essentials for the protection of our park environments: S Recognition that a primary purpose of our national parks system is to conserve the wide diversity of South Australia’s native plants and animals and to improve their chances of survival through active wildlife management.
