  • Queensland Wader Study Group (QWSG), a Special Interest Group of Queensland Ornithological Society Incorporated
    QUEENSLAND WADER Issue 102 December 2017, January and February 2018 Newsletter of the Queensland Wader Study Group (QWSG), a special interest group of Queensland Ornithological Society Incorporated. www.waders.org.au Observations of Chongming Dongtan Flagged Great Knot in Queensland by Arthur Keates In May 2016, the Great Knot (Calidris tenuirostris), a species endemic to the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF), was listed as critically endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) because of the rapid population decline of the species. It is recognised the decline in the numbers of Great Knot across Australia in the non-breeding season is largely due to the ongoing loss of intertidal habitat at key migration staging sites in the Yellow Sea region, primarily through reclamation and wetland degradation. Recent research shows that long-term population declines is greatest for the species that rely heavily on refueling stops in the Yellow Sea region. About 80% of the EAAF Great Knot population relies on the region as a staging site, especially on northward migration. Chongming Dongtan, near Shanghai, People’s Republic of China (CMD) is one of the sites in China of international importance for the Great Knot’s northward migration. Mr Jin Weigo setting a trap to catch shorebirds at Chongming Dongtan (note the decoys in front of the net) Photo: A Keates Queensland Wader - Issue 102 December 2017, January, February 2018 Prior to the arrival of Great Knot in Australia on southern migration in 2017, QWSG’s leg flag database had reports of 327 observations of Great Knot flagged at CMD.

  • Brisbane City Council Terrestrial Invertebrate Status Review
    Brisbane City Council Terrestrial Invertebrate Status Review TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 4 INTRODUCTION 5 METHODS 8 RESULTS 23 ANTS 23 SUCKING BUGS 61 BEETLES 65 BUTTERFLIES 74 DRAGONFLIES AND DAMSELFLIES 85 SPIDERS 93 LAND SNAILS 115 CONCLUSIONS 127 REFERENCES 128 APPENDICES 1-20 __________________________________________________________________________________________ Queensland Centre for Biodiversity Queensland Museum 2 Brisbane City Council Terrestrial Invertebrate Status Review FOREWORD “A national strategy for the conservation of Australia's terrestrial biodiversity was first mooted in a draft discussion paper in 1992. Since that time a number of initiatives have sought to address the issues of biodiversity conservation at National, State and regional levels. Relevant consultative advisory and steering committees have been formed and these have identified key issues, so called biodiversity hotspots and sites of significance that should form the focus of conservation efforts. From a faunal viewpoint I consider that the approach to date has significant shortcomings. Firstly, the basis of much of the discussion is based on vertebrate values. And secondly, if we acknowledge that faunal biodiversity consists chiefly of invertebrates, there appears to be no strategy aimed at filling major gaps in the knowledge base of these animals at either the National, State or regional level”. [Stanisic, 2004: Wildlife, Autumn Edition]. The value of invertebrates in conservation in Australia has received much lip service but little practical attention up to the present time. While it is an inescapable fact that terrestrial “invertebrates” drive ecological processes and functions that maintain forests and their faunas, biodiversity managers still rely heavily on the vertebrate fauna (and vascular flora) for making key management decisions.
