If you are prepared to lead walks, now is a good time to make a 'comeback, for reasons outlined in the following paragraphs. Your presence at Walks Planning Evenings would be particularly welcome, whether to lead walks yourself or to help beginning leaders to plan trips. I and other experienced leaders would be glad to help organise walks, whether at Walks Planning evenings, by telephone, or otherwise. The Club is dangerously over-dependent on a small number of long serving 'mega-leaders', so that, as we probably are about to discover, a loss of one or two key people can have a severe impact on the Club's prime activity, bushwalking. With a greater number of leaders we: • are less dependent on any one individual; - • have more variety and ideas for trips - new people have new ideas; more people give more people more ideas; • have more choice and less crowded trips for walkers; • have more enjoyable trips - more variety means greater likelihood that trips meet more people's needs and fewer problems in coping with a mixture of, for example, very fast and very slow people on a trip; • provide a more stable program, with less gaps; • have a more reliable program with more people confident enough to take over should the trip leader be become unavailable or incapacitated; • have more flexibility on trips - for example there is more likely to be someone confident to lead a side trip to achieve particular objectives. A good attendance at Walk Planning evenings is a highly efficient way to generate a good walks program as the Club's extensive map collection is available and people can discuss ideas with and make suggestions to other interested people. Discussions and pooling of ideas often result in better trips than an individual would devise on their own. I look forward to seeing you at Walk Planning evenings if possible (your presence there is particularly valuable - more people generate more ideas), at general and other meetings, or talking to you over the phone.

I can't say that I'll be walking every weekend - hopefully at least once each month. Secondly, conservation. Many of us are professional people. Our country has given us our education. Isn't it time we gave something back? I envisage an active sub-committee working on conservation projects. Members are encouraged to give their time and effort individually (eg growing seedlings for Greening Australia) and/or in groups (as in the Broom Clearing weekend to be held soon). Thirdly, social. I believe that a club as large as ours should be able to have more social activities without detracting from the essence of the club. I would encourage anyone who wishes to promote social activites for other club members. I believe that people who know each other are more likely to feel more confident about remaining in the club. J look forward to walking with you. Janet Edstein MEMBERSHIP MATFERS New Members: Rene and Cathy DeKiefte, Westow Kaye Campbell, Pearce.

  • The Scale Transition: Scaling up Population Dynamics with Field Data
    Ecology, 87(6), 2006, pp. 1478–1488 Ó 2006 by the Ecological Society of America THE SCALE TRANSITION: SCALING UP POPULATION DYNAMICS WITH FIELD DATA 1,3 2 BRETT A. MELBOURNE AND PETER CHESSON 1Center for Population Biology, University of California, Davis, California 95616 USA 2Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721 USA Abstract. Applying the recent developments of scale transition theory, we demonstrate a systematic approach to the problem of scaling up local scale interactions to regional scale dynamics with field data. Dynamics on larger spatial scales differ from the predictions of local dynamics alone because of an interaction between nonlinearity in population dynamics at the local scale and spatial variation in density and environmental factors over the regional population. Our systematic approach to scaling up involves the following five steps. First, define a model for dynamics on the local spatial scale. Second, apply scale transition theory to identify key interactions between nonlinearity and spatial variation that translate local dynamics to the regional scale. Third, measure local-scale model parameters to determine nonlinearities at local scales. Fourth, measure spatial variation. Finally, combine nonlinearity and variation measures to obtain the scale transition. Using field data for the dynamics of grazers and periphyton in a freshwater stream, we show that scale transition terms greatly reduce the growth and equilibrium density of the periphyton population at the stream scale compared to rock scale populations, confirming the importance of spatial mechanisms to stream-scale dynamics. Key words: heterogeneity; nonlinear dynamics; scale; spatial ecology.

    147 CHAPTER SIX STAGE THREE : THE FUTURE TRAJECTORY OF CHANGE AND RECOVERY POTENTIAL OF RIVERS IN BEGA CATCHMENT 6.1 Introduction and outline of this chapter The analysis of river recovery potential interprets the trajectory of likely future reach adjustments under circumstances in which the reach is not subject to direct intervention (i.e. whether geomorphic condition improves, remains relatively the same, or deteriorates). This analysis is framed in terms of the current trajectory of change under current management practices and predictions of recovery potential based over a 50-100 year timeframe. We recognise explicitly that future river responses/pathways will reflect management strategies. Hopefully, as strategies are implemented, the trajectory and potential for recovery will improve throughout the system. Hence, this assessment provides a contemporary statement of recovery pathways for river courses in Bega catchment. The procedures employed aid determination of the types of measures that can be undertaken to enhance the natural recovery processes of each river course. Adoption of these adaptive management principles requires responses to limiting factors and pressures that operate in the system. There are two steps in the determination of geomorphic recovery potential in Stage Three of the River Styles framework (Figure 6.1). Figure 6.1 Steps in Stage Three of the River Styles framework Stage Three, Step One: Determine the trajectory of river change ⇓ Stage Three, Step Two: Assess river recovery potential: Place reaches in their catchment context and assess limiting factors to recovery In the sections that follow, core products that appraise the geomorphic recovery of rivers across Bega catchment are presented.
