  • Melanie-Hava-Bio-1
    Melanie Hava Aboriginal name: "Winden" - green pigeon I am blessed to have been born into interesting and diverse cultures: my father comes from the oldest city in Austria, Enns (Upper Austria) and my mother is from one of the oldest cultures in the world, Aboriginal people of Australia. While celebrating my Austrian heritage, I also identify through my Mum's line as a Mamu Aboriginal woman, Dugul-barra and Wari-barra family groups, from the Johnstone River catchment of the Wet Tropics of Far North Queensland and the adjoining Great Barrier Reef sea country. Reef and rainforest country are important sources for my inspirations. I have known from a very young age that I was going to be an artist. While also being a bookworm and a piano player, art was a world that I frequently retreated into as I grew up. I reckon this is because I was deaf and felt I couldn't join in with groups of people. As a teen and along with my sister Joelene, we created art on didgeridoos and canvas. This art sold very quickly in the little, opal mining outback town of Yowah way out back of western Queensland. This red soil country still influences my works. When I was in my late teens/early twenties, I started playing around with the ideas of combining my Aboriginal and Austrian inspirations. I had already tried my style in Aboriginal, Folk and Abstract arts and I had had a successful first exhibition at Outback at Isa Gallery. So at 23 I travelled to Austria to live with my father's family and absorb as much as I could of the Folk and European culture.

The decade saw a flowering of Australian literature. It saw tremendous social and economic changes. Partly as a result of these changes, these years saw the rise of a new force in Australian politics - the labour movement. In some colonies, this development was overshadowed by the consolidation of a colonial liberal tradition reaching its culmination in the Deakinite liberalism of the early years of the tlommdhwealth. Developments in Queensland differed from those in the southern colonies.

Stenseth, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway, and approved June 14, 2019 (received for review February 4, 2019) An important new hypothesis in landscape ecology is that the African savannah (9–11), but may impact predators more than extreme, decade-scale megadroughts can be potent drivers of basal species (12) or affect both (13). There is also some evidence rapid, macroscale ecosystem degradation and collapse. If true, an that mass mortality events (MMEs) can play a pivotal demo- increase in such events under climate change could have devas- graphic role during extreme drought, and that these may be re- tating consequences for global biodiversity. However, because sponsible for persistent changes in community structure and even few megadroughts have occurred in the modern ecological era, transitions between alternate ecosystem states. However, given the taxonomic breadth, trophic depth, and geographic pattern of that CSMs occur very rarely (1, 5), the magnitude of such impacts, these impacts remain unknown.
