  • Jervis Bay Territory Page 1 of 50 21-Jan-11 Species List for NRM Region (Blank), Jervis Bay Territory
    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

    REPRODUCTIONREVIEW The evolution of viviparity: molecular and genomic data from squamate reptiles advance understanding of live birth in amniotes James U Van Dyke, Matthew C Brandley and Michael B Thompson School of Biological Sciences, University of Sydney, A08 Heydon-Laurence Building, Sydney, New South Wales 2006, Australia Correspondence should be addressed to J U Van Dyke; Email: [email protected] Abstract Squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) are an ideal model system for testing hypotheses regarding the evolution of viviparity (live birth) in amniote vertebrates. Viviparity has evolved over 100 times in squamates, resulting in major changes in reproductive physiology. At a minimum, all viviparous squamates exhibit placentae formed by the appositions of maternal and embryonic tissues, which are homologous in origin with the tissues that form the placenta in therian mammals. These placentae facilitate adhesion of the conceptus to the uterus as well as exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, water, sodium, and calcium. However, most viviparous squamates continue to rely on yolk for nearly all of their organic nutrition. In contrast, some species, which rely on the placenta for at least a portion of organic nutrition, exhibit complex placental specializations associated with the transport of amino acids and fatty acids. Some viviparous squamates also exhibit reduced immunocompetence during pregnancy, which could be the result of immunosuppression to protect developing embryos. Recent molecular studies using both candidate-gene and next-generation sequencing approaches have suggested that at least some of the genes and gene families underlying these phenomena play similar roles in the uterus and placenta of viviparous mammals and squamates.

In July 2013, a total of 86 full floristic and 105 rapid floristic sites were sampled across the island, based on a stratified random sampling design. A hierarchical agglomerative clustering strategy (Flexible UPGMA) and Bray-Curtis dissimilarity coefficient with default beta, along with nearest neighbour analysis to identify anomalous site allocations, was used to analyze the floristic data. In total 33 vegetation communities were delineated and mapped: 19 mapping units from the full floristic analysis; 7 variants identified within five of the above 19 groups; 3 mapping units from analysis of canopy- only floristic data; and 4 mapping units recognised in previous studies that are mapped but were not sampled in this survey.

    Attachment H to Proposed Approval Decision Brief Lord Howe Island Rodent Eradication Project, NSW (EPBC 2016/7703) Proposed Approval Decision ERT Review A search of the Department's Environmental Reporting Tool (ERT) on 13 July 2017 identified an additional six listed threatened species and ten migratory species that were not identified in an ERT search on 20 June 2016 (the same co-ordinates were used in the two ERT searches), within a parallelogram that encompasses all the islands of the Lord Howe Island Group (except for Balls Pyramid) and within a buffer of 2 km from the parallelogram. These species were not considered at the time of the controlled action decision on 17 September 2014. Listed threatened species The following threatened species (although previously listed under the EPBC Act) were not identified by the ERT at the time the controlled action decision was made, and therefore were not considered during the assessment process: Red Knot (Calidris canutus) - endangered Curlew Sandpiper (Calidris ferruginea) – Critically endangered Herald Petrel (Pterodrama heraldica) - Critically endangered Pacific Albatross (Thalassarche bulleri platei) – Vulnerable Sei Whale (Balaenoptera borealis) – Vulnerable Fin Whale (Balaenoptera physalus) - Vulnerable These species were identified in the SPRAT search of 13 July 2017 because their distributions were updated in SPRAT subsequent to the controlled action decision for this project. The Department recently assessed the potential impacts of the proposed action on the above species and concluded that it was highly unlikely that they would be significantly impacted by the proposal. The following is a summary of this assessment Red Knot (Calidris canutus) – endangered This species is a rare, regular visitor to LHI (13 records between 1990 and 2004).
