The habitat removal is required in order to carry out earthworks associated with the approved subdivision of the site. The site has been approved to be reconfigured from 1 into 15 Lots including an environment reserve (Council Reference - RAL20/0005). The approved plan of development is presented as Appendix 1. 1.2 General Responsibilities All fauna management services undertaken within the site are to be conducted in accordance with all applicable and relevant local, State and Commonwealth government guidelines and legislation. A suitably qualified and appropriately experienced fauna spotter/catcher is to be employed to undertake the fauna management services prior to and during all clearing activities. The Project Manager is responsible for persons directly and indirectly associated with the fauna management activities and must understand the vegetation and fauna management measures prescribed within this Fauna Management Plan. Failure to comply with the management measures prescribed herein may result in the contravention of local, State and Commonwealth legislative responsibilities. The Project Manager should contact Council’s environmental staff where doubt arises over any vegetation removal/habitat disturbance situations before the activity in question proceeds. © 2020 1 Fauna Management Plan v1 NCES REF: J000613 201 Windsor Road, Nambour 2 SITE DESCRIPTION The site measures approximately 1.75ha and is comprised of a mix of vegetated and cleared areas. Windsor Road flanks the south western site boundary. The majority of the proposed development footprint intercepts fully cleared areas along with several individual trees in open areas and vegetation along bushland edges. The majority of bushland occurring within the site will be protected within a reserve allotment (Lot 901) which includes riparian areas and adjoining habitat. Refer to Appendix 2 for a description of the clearing extents. Plate 1 depicts vegetation occurring within the site. Existing vegetation to be retained within reserve Open areas of the site to be developed Plate 1 – Site Conditions (Source: Queensland Globe) 2.1 On-Site Vegetation The following vegetation units were identified within the development footprint: 2.1.1 Vegetation Unit 1 – Riparian Notophyll Vine Forest VU1 is present in the north-east corner of the site and is associated with a waterway that flows west to east along the northern site boundary. VU1 exhibits an average canopy height of approximately 20-25m with projective foliage canopy cover (PFCC) of 50-60%. The canopy is characterised by a mix of regrowth and emergent species including Ficus virens (white Fig), Eucalyptus grandis (flooded gum), Glochidion sumatranum (umbrella cheese tree) and exotic species including Cinnamomum camphora (camphor laurel) and Celtis sinensis (Chinese elm). The mid-storey contains a sparse distribution of exotic species and rainforest varieties such as Archontophoenix cunninghamiana (picabeen palm), Neolitsea dealbata (bolly gum), Mallotus philippensis (red kamala), Ficus coronata (creek sandpaper fig) and Macaranga tanarius (Macaranga). © 2020 2 Fauna Management Plan v1 NCES REF: J000613 201 Windsor Road, Nambour The understory is dominated by weed varieties such as Asparagus aethiopicus cv. Sprengeri (basket asparagus fern), Schefflera actinophylla (umbrella tree), Syngonium spp. (arrowhead vine), Ochna serrulata (Mickey Mouse bush) and Ruellia humilis (wild Petunia). VU1 is akin to ‘of concern’ RE 12.12.1, which is described as Simple notophyll vine forest usually with abundant Archontophoenix cunninghamiana (gully vine forest). Plate 2 & 3 depicts typical vegetation within VU1. Plates 2 & 3 – Characteristic vegetation within VU1 2.1.2 Vegetation Unit 2 – Degraded Notophyll Vine Forest VU2 is present from the north west corner of the site and continues into the centre of the property. VU2 exhibits an average canopy height of approximately 16-20m with projective foliage canopy cover (PFCC) of 50-60%. The canopy is dominated by Guioa semiglauca (Guioa) with other early phase rainforest pioneer species including Jagera pseudorhus (foambark), Neolitsea dealbata (bolly gum), Ficus coronata (creek sandpaper fig) and exotic species such as Cinnamomum camphora (camphor laurel) and Celtis sinensis (Chinese elm). The midstorey contains regrowth Guioa semiglauca and Neolitsea dealbata (Bolly Gum) and occasional rainforest species such as Alchornea ilicifolia (native holly). The understorey is dominated by a dense weed cover including Ochna serrulata (Ochna), Asparagus aethiopicus cv. Sprengeri (basket asparagus fern) and Syngonium spp. (arrowhead vine).

KEY WORDS Lepidoptera! inventory1 tropical rainforesti species diversity1 species richness! insect fauna Introduction The primary lowland forests in the Southeast Asian (SEA) tropics are characterized by the extremely species-rich biodiversity (Whitmore 1998). Arthropod assemblages comprise the main part of the biodiversity in tropical rainforests (Erwin 1982, Wilson 1992). Many inventory studies have been done focusing on various arthropod taxa to reveal the species-richness of arthropod assemblages in SEA tropical rainforests (e.g. Holloway & lntachat 2003). The butterfly is one of the most studied taxonomic groups in arthropods in the SEA region; the accumulated information on the taxonomy and geographic distribution were organized by Tsukada & Nishiyama (1980), Yata & Morishita (1981), Aoki et al.

  • Life History Notes on the Yellow Albatross, Appias Paulina Ega (Cramer, [1777]) Lepidoptera: Pieridae - Wesley Jenkinson
    Life history notes on the Yellow Albatross, Appias paulina ega (Cramer, [1777]) Lepidoptera: Pieridae - Wesley Jenkinson This butterfly species, previously known as the Common Albatross, appears to have limited detail published about its biology and migratory habits. It is encountered along much of coastal and sub-coastal eastern Queensland and other states. Migratory adults can be located well outside the breeding areas, particularly after widespread rainfall has occurred. In Southeast Queensland it is seasonally common and the adults can be found in a varied range of habitats including suburban gardens. In this region the breeding habitat is chiefly dry rainforest and vine scrub where the host trees Yellow Tulipwood (Drypetes deplanchei) are growing. This is the main host species utilised for breeding with several other possible host species requiring confirmation (Moss 2010). Adults often fly with two other similar looking Pieridae species, the Caper White (Belenois java) and the Caper Gull (Cepora perimale) and they can be confused with them. The male could also be easily confused with the well-known exotic Cabbage White butterfly (Pieris rapae), which is much smaller in size, has different wing markings and slower flight behaviour. Adult flight is rapid and strong especially if they have been disturbed. They are typically observed flying around forest canopies and margins during sunny periods. The males also frequently visit hilltops from late morning until mid afternoon. I have observed that, while feeding at flowers, their wings can be partially open at various angles (between approx 20 to 45 degrees). Both sexes can also be observed imbibing moisture from puddles (‘mud puddling’) during extremely hot conditions.

  • 16B. from Moonlight Jewels to Common Browns: Butterfly
    From Moonlight Jewels to Common Browns: Butterfly accounts for the ACT Suzi Bond1 and Michael Vardon2 1 Australian Bureau of Statistics, [email protected] 2 Australian National University, [email protected] Abstract We present a set of novel SEEA butterfly accounts for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Australia. These accounts identify the theoretical and practical issues in producing biodiversity accounts and assess the implications of such biodiversity accounts for public policy and the management of species and public areas in the ACT and beyond. The accounts are to be used in ACT State of Environment reporting and considered for broader national biodiversity application. The butterfly accounts span from 1978 to 2018, and the data sources and methods underpinning the accounts are detailed in the paper. The accounts aim to eventually include butterfly species presence and abundance by habitat type and season for each survey year and between two points in time, butterfly species area of distribution by habitat and a land cover account. These types of biodiversity accounts will support the development of the SEEA-EEA framework and the UN ambition to elevate the system to an international standard. They demonstrate the flexibility of SEEA for presenting a range of ecosystem and environmental information. 1 1. Introduction The best method for including biodiversity in the System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA) has been a vexing question for more than a decade. The specific call for including biodiversity values in national accounts in Target 2 of the Biodiversity Strategy Plan (2011-2020) for the Convention on Biological Diversity provided an impetus for this work and also coincided with the processes for elevating the SEEA Experimental Ecosystem Accounting (EEA) to an international statistical standard.

    WELCOME Conserving butterflies will improve our whole environment for wildlife and enrich the lives of people now and in the future. --- Butterfly Conservation, UK BUTTERFLIES IN TSIRANG DISTRICT, BHUTAN AND THE NEED FOR CONSERVATION Irungbam Jatishwor Singh & Meenakshi Singh Chib Department of Science Mendrelgang Middle Secondary School, Tsirang (Bhutan) AIM & OBJECTIVES ./ The present study was initiated by Department of Science, Mendrelgang Middle Secondary School in the year 2011. ./ Review of literatures reveals that study on lepidoptera fauna of Tsirang is not yet done so far. It is a need of time to carry out such kind of research work for this area. ./ The primary objectives of the study was; • To inventories lepidoptera diversity of Mendrelgang (Tsirang) by extensive investigation. • To prepare a checklist of lepidoptera fauna of Mendrelgang (Tsirang) to established a foundation for research on lepidoptera. • To evaluate the threatened and endangered species of conservation importance. ./ The secondary objective of the study was; • To educate the youths about the rich biodiversity in Bhutan. • To instill values and importance of lepidoptera in our ecosystem to our youths. • To instigation the foundation of research to youths. INTRODUCTION (LEPIDOPTERA) • Lepidoptera is the second largest order and most fascinating group among the insects. • The total no. of known species of lepidoptera makes up about 10% of animal kingdom. (Srivastava, 2002) • Butterflies along with moths belong to the order Lepidoptera (lepido = scale; ptera = wings). • 1,60,000 described species of lepidoptera (Kriestensen & Skalski, 1999) MAIN CHARACTERS OF ORDER Y The scientific name of the order, Lepidoptera, is derived from one of their main characteristics, namely their having wings covered in tiny scales (from the Greek lepidos = scale and pteron = wing).

    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.

  • A Checklist of Butterflies of Tasek Bera Ramsar Site, Pahang, Malaysia
    Journal of Wildlife and Parks, 30: 15-26 (2015) A CHECKLIST OF BUTTERFLIES OF TASEK BERA RAMSAR SITE, PAHANG, MALAYSIA Tan Cheng Cheng*, Shahid Tajuddin, Mohd Fadlli Mahat & Tan Poai Ean Biodiversity Conservation Division, Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP), Peninsular Malaysia, KM 10 Jalan Cheras, 56100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia *Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Tasek Bera, Pahang is recognised as an important international wetlands area under The Ramsar Convention since 1994. Butterfly surveys were conducted during the 2014 Biodiversity Inventory Programme in two sampling occasions: 7th–13th May and 13th–19th August. The objective of this survey is to document the butterfly (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) species diversity for future management and conservation. A total of 289 butterflies were collected, 125 species from five families were identified from both sampling occasions. Nymphalidae (48%) is the most diverse family, followed by Lycaenidae (23%), Pieridae (15%), Papilionidae (12%) and Riodinidae (2%). Among the 125 species recorded, 57 species were recorded in May, 39 species in August and 29 species in both sampling occasions. More species of The reported families Namphalidae covered 33%, Papilionidae 10%, and Pieridae 57% biodiversity of butterflies of Kohat.The reported families Namphalidae covered 33%, Papilionidae 10%, and Pieridae 57% biodiversity of butterflies of Kohat.Lycaenidae, Pieridae and Papilionidae were recorded in May compared to August. Conversely, Nymphalidae species recorded in August was nearly double the number of species recorded in May. The availability of host and nectar plants might be one of the factors that affect the butterfly diversity. The present list of butterfly is not exhaustive, therefore prolonged surveys using various sampling methods are recommended to update the butterfly checklist of Tasek Bera Ramsar Site.

INTRODUCTION The present account is a continuation of the first part which deals with family Papilionidae (vide Arora & Nandi, 1980), and based on the material collected by the various parties of Zoological Survey of India as well as on the material already present in the old National Zoological Collections in the Department (abbreviated in the text as N. Z. C), the details of which have been given in the above-mentioned paper. The present paper incorporates 20 species with 27 subspecies distribu­ ted over 11 genera under two subfamilies, viz., Pierinae (Leptosia, 1 sp. ; Oepora, 2 spp.; Anapheis, 1 sp.; Appias, 4 spp. ; Saletara, 1 sp. ; lxias, 1 sp.; Hebomoia, 1 sp.; and Valeria, 1 sp.) and Coliadinae (Oatopsilia, 3 spp.; Gandaca, 1 sp.; and Eurema, 4 spp.). Of these, only' three species viz., Anaphei~ aurota aurota (Fabr.), Appias libythea o~ferna Swinhoe and Eurema brigitta rubella (Wallace), all from Nicobars, have been Teported as stragglers to these areas since these have neither been collected recently nor represented in Nt Z. C. However, Oepora neriS8a dapha (Moore) also reported as a straggler to Great Nicobar as been collected more often and is represented here by one example each of male and female. The studies also throw light on the detailed distribution of the Pierid­ fauna of these areas ; confirm the occurrence of Appias paulina galathea (Felder) in South Andamans, which was hitherto without any authenti­ cated record of this species; and record for the first time the distri­ bution of Ixias pyrene andamana Moore and Oatopsilia florella gnoma (Fabr.), from Car Nicobar.
