  • A Wader Survey of South Gippsland Beaches by WILLIAM A
    48 DAVIS, A Wader Survey [ Bird Watcher A Wader Survey of South Gippsland Beaches By WILLIAM A. DAVIS, Melbourne. On February 23, 24 and 25, 1963, a trip was undertaken by four members of the Bird Observers Club in an endeavour to ascertain the wader potentiality of some of the remote South Gippsland beaches. Habitats and bird populations at each locality were noted, and all the birds S€~ on the trip were recorded. Lack of time allowed only a brief survey to be made but, in spite of this, 117 species were positively identified. The members participating in the survey were F. T. H . Smith, F. Fehrer, H . Beste and the writer. At the present time wader haunts within close proximity to Melbourne are regularly visited each season. However, there remain vast areas of suitable habitat more distant from the metro­ polis which, due to their remoteness, have received little or no attention from observers. The territory covered by our trip extended from Shallow Inlet on the western side of Wilson's Promontory to Jack Smith's Lake, approximately 20 miles west of Seaspray on the Ninety Mile Beach. The localities visited were as follows: Shallow Inlet: A large tidal inlet comprising extensive sand and mud-flats, ocean beach, and typical coastal bushland consisting essentially of banksias, messmate, manna gums, heathlands and open paddocks. This was possibly the best area that we encountered for general bird observation, that also had good wader potentiality although, at the time of our visit, there was a noticeable absence of the small waders. Both the east and west sides of the inlet were examined and 69 species were recorded in six hours.

  • Dry Seasonal Conditions in Rural Victoria
    Department of Primary Industries Dry Seasonal Conditions in Rural Victoria Report: 51 September 22, 2005 Environmental Indicators Rainfall August rainfall totals were close to normal. Over winter as a whole, rainfall was somewhat above normal in the North East and in East Gippsland, somewhat below normal in Central Victoria and in West Gippsland, and near to normal elsewhere. August had a warm spell at the end of the month following the widespread snow on the 10th. Overall daytime temperatures were 1°C above average and nightime temperatures were about average. For the 6-month period from March to August, serious to severe rainfall deficiencies extend from the far southeast of South Australia across southwest and south-central Victoria to west Gippsland. The deficiencies over southern Victoria are not as extensive or intense as they were at the end of July. The most significant rainfall in September occurred through the second week and varied from 0-5 mm in the north west to over 100 mm in pockets of the North East (Figure 1). The seasonal rainfall outlook for October to December indicates an increased likelihood of below median falls over parts of southern Victoria for the December quarter. Chances of above median rainfall are between 30 and 40% in a band extending from the far southeast of South Australia to West Gippsland. This includes most of the areas that have suffered severe short-term rainfall deficiencies since the start of autumn, and a general downturn in rainfall since the mid 1990s. The chances of a wetter than average season are between 40 and 50% over the rest of the State.

  • Phylogeography of the Invasive Polychaete Sabella Spallanzanii (Sabellidae) Based on the Nucleotide Sequence of Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 (ITS2) of Nuclear Rdna
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 215: 169–177, 2001 Published May 31 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Phylogeography of the invasive polychaete Sabella spallanzanii (Sabellidae) based on the nucleotide sequence of internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) of nuclear rDNA F. P. Patti*, M. C. Gambi Stazione Zoologica ‘A. Dohrn’, Laboratorio di Ecologia del Benthos, 80077 Ischia (Napoli), Italy ABSTRACT: Genetic relationships between different populations of the invasive species Sabella spallanzanii (Gmelin, 1791) (Polychaeta, Sabellidae) are investigated through the use of the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (285 bp). Samples were taken from South Australian waters (3 populations), the Mediterranean Sea (8 populations) and the French Atlantic coast (1 population). The ITS2 sequences were analyzed using both maximum parsimony and unweighted pair-group mean analysis (UPGMA) algorithms; results showed genetic disjunction between the Australian and the Mediterranean populations. Within the Mediterranean populations, 3 different sub-groups, corresponding to different sub-basins, could be clearly detected (Northwest- ern, Central and Eastern basins). The Atlantic population showed strong differences with the Mediterranean and Australian populations, but did not allow the identification of the source of intro- duction from Europe to Australia. Data also suggest the occurrence of a reduced genetic variability of the Australian populations, probably due to the ‘founder effect’ of one introduction, either via ballast waters or hull fouling. The recent description of the life cycle and larval development of S. spallan- zanii in the Mediterranean Sea, with a long pelagic larval phase and a post-settlement stage of meta- morphosis (approx. 25 d), supports the hypothesis of introduction via ballast waters (larval pool).
