The YRE project’s 143.11 hectare (ha) Development Envelope, which encompasses Part 1 and 2 development footprints (including railway extension and stations) and construction and access areas, generally lies between the suburbs of Butler and Yanchep and includes the suburbs of Alkimos and Eglinton. Part 1 of the project proposes to extend the existing Joondalup railway line by 7.3 kilometres from Butler Station to the suburb of Eglinton in the City of Wanneroo. Part 2 of the project proposes to extend the Joondalup railway line from Eglinton Station to Yanchep Station and includes a turnback facility to the north of the Yanchep Station to allow for the turning and stowage of trains. Following referral of Part 1 of the YRE project to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) under Section 38 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act), the EPA decided on 13 March 2018 that the proposal would be assessed on referral and additional information. The EPA issued a Notice Requiring Information for Assessment under section 40(2)(a) of the EP Act, which included the requirement for a desktop short range endemic (SRE) fauna investigation. The desktop assessment for SRE invertebrates recorded nine Confirmed SRE species (three land snails, three mygalomorph trapdoor spiders, one bivalve, one millipede and one tree cricket), 10 Likely SRE species (five mygalomorph trapdoor spiders, two terrestrial slaters, two tree crickets and one millipede), and eight Possible SRE species (five pseudoscorpions, one springtail, one midge, and one harvestman).

  • GENOME EVOLUTION in MONOCOTS a Dissertation
    GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School At the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Kate L. Hertweck Dr. J. Chris Pires, Dissertation Advisor JULY 2011 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS Presented by Kate L. Hertweck A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Dr. J. Chris Pires Dr. Lori Eggert Dr. Candace Galen Dr. Rose‐Marie Muzika ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many people for their assistance during the course of my graduate education. I would not have derived such a keen understanding of the learning process without the tutelage of Dr. Sandi Abell. Members of the Pires lab provided prolific support in improving lab techniques, computational analysis, greenhouse maintenance, and writing support. Team Monocot, including Dr. Mike Kinney, Dr. Roxi Steele, and Erica Wheeler were particularly helpful, but other lab members working on Brassicaceae (Dr. Zhiyong Xiong, Dr. Maqsood Rehman, Pat Edger, Tatiana Arias, Dustin Mayfield) all provided vital support as well. I am also grateful for the support of a high school student, Cady Anderson, and an undergraduate, Tori Docktor, for their assistance in laboratory procedures. Many people, scientist and otherwise, helped with field collections: Dr. Travis Columbus, Hester Bell, Doug and Judy McGoon, Julie Ketner, Katy Klymus, and William Alexander. Many thanks to Barb Sonderman for taking care of my greenhouse collection of many odd plants brought back from the field.

INTRODUCTION Mattiske Consulting Pty Ltd was commissioned in November 2018 by Brikmakers to undertake a flora, vegetation and fauna assessment of a proposed expansion area for clay and sand extraction to the south of Walyunga Road. The proposed expansion area occurs on approximately 15.9141 hectares of which 2.31ha consists of isolated trees and small remnants of Jarrah, Marri and Wandoo over pasture on the proposed northern sand pit, 0.17ha consists of Banksia trees over pasture on the proposed northern sand pit, 0.08ha consists of planted trees on the proposed southern sand pit, 0.08 consists of isolated Sheoak trees over pasture and 0.03ha consists of an isolated Marri tree on the proposed clay pit, see Figures 1 and 2 and Appendix A (photographs). The majority of the area is completely degraded and is currently used for grazing cattle. In the remaining areas of trees, the understorey is dominated by pasture species or introduced species. The latter degraded nature of the area has resulted from the agricultural activities on the area. It is also intended to clear a small section (620m2) of the road verges of Walyunga Road, Bullsbrook, Figure 3 and Appendix A. The area occurs on the Pinjarra plain on the eastern section of the Swan Coastal Plain. The section of road verge is proposed to be required to ensure safe access to the areas to the south of Walyunga Road.

  • 2021 AWC Ecology & Conservation Internship Program
    2021 AWC Ecology & Conservation Internship Program Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) is the largest private (non-profit) owner of land for conservation in Australia, protecting endangered wildlife at 30 sanctuaries in which we own or manage in partnership, covering a total of more than 6.5 million hectares in iconic regions such as the Kimberley, Cape York, the Top End and Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre. With a focus on practical land management, informed by world- class science, AWC is implementing a dynamic new model for conservation. AWC’s mission - to deliver effective conservation for all native animal species and their habitats - is achieved by: • Operations – delivering effective large-scale land management including fire management, feral animal control, weed control and infrastructure management. • Science – delivering a nationally-coherent program of ecological surveys with a focus on monitoring key conservation assets and threats, conducting applied research relevant to wildlife conservation, implementing conservation programs including reintroductions, and providing advice to management. • Fundraising – mobilising finance (primarily, tax deductible donations) from the general public and philanthropists including through effective communication of AWC conservation programs. AWC’s work is directed at achieving our mission and is guided by the following values: • Respectful – demonstrating care, recognition and integrity • Informed – working together to acquire and apply evidence, knowledge and experience • Dedicated – committed to delivering effective outcomes, with resilience and tenacity • Innovative – applying creative thinking for effective solutions • Accountable – taking ownership of our actions and outcomes • Sustainable – delivering long-term financial and ecological viability OneAWC is defined as ‘a cohesive, engaged, collaborative, high performing group guided by strong, effective leaders.
