Estimating the Extinction Date of the Thylacine with Mixed Certainty Data
Research Note Estimating the extinction date of the thylacine with mixed certainty data 1 2 3 Colin J. Carlson , ∗ Alexander L. Bond, and Kevin R. Burgio 1Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, University of California, Berkeley, 130 Mulford Hall, Berkeley, CA 94720, U.S.A. 2Ardenna Research, Potton, Sandy, Bedfordshire SG19 2QA, U.K. 3Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, 75 N. Eagleville Road, U-3043, Storrs, CT 06269, U.S.A. Abstract: The thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus), one of Australia’s most characteristic megafauna, was the largest marsupial carnivore until hunting, and potentially disease, drove it to extinction in 1936. Although thylacines were restricted to Tasmania for 2 millennia prior to their extinction, recent so-called plausible sightings on the Cape York Peninsula in northern Queensland have emerged, leading some to speculate the species may have persisted undetected. We compiled a data set that included physical evidence, expert-validated sightings, and unconfirmed sightings up to the present day and implemented a range of extinction models (focusing on a Bayesian approach that incorporates all 3 types of data by modeling valid and invalid sightings as independent processes) to evaluate the likelihood of the thylacine’s persistence. Although the last captive individual died in September 1936, our results suggested that the most likely extinction date would be 1940. Our other extinction models estimated the thylacine’s extinction date between 1936 and 1943, and the most optimistic scenario indicated that the species did not persist beyond 1956. The search for the thylacine, much like similar efforts to rediscover other recently extinct charismatic taxa, is likely to be fruitless, especially given that persistence on Tasmania would have been no guarantee the species could reappear in regions that had been unoccupied for millennia. -
Osborne Park Hosptial, Perth, Western Australia
Pathway to Excellence® Case Study: Osborne Park Hospital, Perth, Western Australia Established in 1962, Osborne Park Hospital (OPH) provides comprehensive specialist health care services to patients and families throughout Western Australia (WA). The 150-bed facility features three main clinical areas: rehabilitation and aged care, surgical services, and women’s and newborn services. Several years ago, nursing leaders sought new ways to revitalize the hospital’s mature workforce, motivate and engage younger nurses, and validate the exceptional work of the nursing staff. ANCC’s Pathway to Excellence Program offered the perfect vehicle to achieve these goals. The journey gave OPH the opportunity to benchmark against international norms and positively transform the practice environment. In addition, the prospect of being the first Australian hospital with the Pathway to Excellence designation was very motivating. In 2014, OPH became the first hospital in Australia and the second hospital outside of the United States to earn the Pathway credential. The achievement led to several significant quality and safety improvements. A nurse-driven hand hygiene compliance campaign focused on improving the hospital’s handwashing rate over a two-year period. Strategies included staff education, a new jewelry and nail policy, regular updates via newsletter, notice boards and competitions, and targeting staff groups with low compliance rates. As a result, the hospital’s hand hygiene compliance rate improved from 55% to more than 88%, significantly above the Australian national average of 72%. OPH is regularly among the top-performing hospitals in WA for hand hygiene and recently received the WA Health Award in the Performance Improvement Category. -
WA Health Aboriginal Cultural Learning Framework
WA Health Aboriginal Cultural Learning Framework Acknowledgment of Country WA Health acknowledges the people of the many traditional countries and language groups of Western Australia. It acknowledges the wisdom of Elders both past and present and pays respect to Aboriginal communities of today. A commitment to learning together: Introduction from the Director General Aboriginal people comprise only about three per cent of the Western Australian population, yet have the greatest health needs of any group in this State. WA Health is committed to closing the health gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in Western Australia and recognises the complexity of this task. As experience has shown, the answer is not as simple as providing more health services to Aboriginal people. What is needed, first and foremost, is a broader understanding of the cultural and historic reasons why Aboriginal people view health needs, outcomes and services differently to the general population, so that this can be included in the design and delivery of more effective programs. Our services must take into account the importance of country, family and community to Aboriginal people, the diversity of cultural practices across different communities, and the history of difficult relationships between Aboriginal people and governments that has discouraged many individuals from accessing health services. Employing more Aboriginal people in the health workforce – and supporting them to develop their skills and leadership potential – is an important way of incorporating Aboriginal cultural perspectives into our health services. At the same time, we need to develop a non-Aboriginal workforce that understands and respects these perspectives and reflects this in their day-to-day involvement with Aboriginal clients and colleagues. -
