Eyre Peninsula, South Australia Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian 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. 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. The list of families covered in ANHAT is shown in Appendix 1. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are are not not included included in the in the summary. • The data used for this summary 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. The summary summarises the input data, so errors found in the original data would also be reflected in this summary. • The scientific names and taxonomic concepts used in this report reflect an ANHAT view of the data and not necessarily that found in government censuses, databases or other authoritative lists. Biodiversity summary for Eyre Peninsula SA Page 1 of 37 21-Jan-11 Reading the Biodiversity Summary The summary is divided into two sections: Highlightsand Species List. Highlights section This section draws attention to species of special interest, or characteristics of the biodiversity in the region which rate very highly compared to the rest of Australia. It contains the following: • Total number of nationally rare and threatened species found in the region and listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act. • A list of families which have a very high level of species richness or endemism compared to the rest of Australia. - Species richness counts the number of different species found in a given area. - Endemism estimates the degree to which species found in a given area have small geographic ranges. The smaller the range of a species, the more it contributes to the endemism score. In this summary, a threshold value of 2% was used. This means that compared to the rest of the country, the families listed in the summary may have a significant focus of diversity here, because all or part of the region has richness or endemism scores within the top 2% of areas in Australia. • A count of the number of species which have more than 50% of their recorded range within the region. If a species shows a value of 100% it indicates its distribution is restricted to that particular region as all the available records are in that region. Biodiversity summary for Eyre Peninsula SA Page 2 of 37 21-Jan-11 Species List section This section shows species which may be significant for biodiversity management in the region because: • they are listed in the EPBC Act as critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable, or conservation dependent; • their distribution lies entirely or primarily within the region. For each plant or animal family listed, this section also gives the total number of species in the country, and how many of them are found in the region. Note that this list covers species in the families listed in Appendix 1. Many species found in the region will not be listed because they don’t meet either of the two criteria above. The aim of providing a selected species list is to narrow the view from a very large number of species, to those which may be a focus of conservation activity in the region. Species which are largely restricted to the region may not have any conservation concerns, but may deserve attention because their future lies with the region and those who manage it. A list of all species in the region belonging to the families listed in Appendix 1 is also available.

ANHAT is a database and decision support tool which uses over 33 million specimen and survey records for vertebrates, selected invertebrates and 137 vascular plant families (over 15,000 species). This Biodiversity Summary does not include exotic or extinct species. Highlights Species Restricted to this Region The proportion of sampled range (%) as shown in the Species List is an indication of the distribution of the species in the region in relation to other parts of Australia. There are 97 species with greater than 50% of their recorded range in the region. Of these species, 29 species have 100% of their recorded range in the region. See the Species List for details. Threatened species (Enviroment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act) Total number of threatened species (Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act) in this region which belong to the families covered by this Biodiversity Summary (Appendix 1) 13 species declared as endangered 28 species declared as vulnerable Species Richness Compared to the rest of Australia parts of this region show a high level of richness for the following families. This means that the number of species in these families is in the top 2% compared to the rest of the country.

    J. Helminthol. Soc. Wash. 63(2), 1996, pp. 215-221 Oochoristica piankai sp. n. (Cestoda: Linstowiidae) and Other Helminths of Moloch horridus (Sauria: Agamidae) from Australia CHARLES R. BURSEY,' STEPHEN R. GOLDBERG,2 AND DAVID N. WooLERY2 'Department of Biology, Pennsylvania State University, Shenango Campus, Sharon, Pennsylvania 16146 (e- mail: [email protected]), and 2Department of Biology, Whittier College, Whittier, California 90608 (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT: Oochoristica piankai sp. n., a new linstowiid cestode, discovered in the small intestine of the thorny devil, Moloch horridus, is described and illustrated. Sixteen specimens of Oochoristica piankai sp. n. were found in 8 of 104 (8%) Moloch horridus from Australia. Oochoristica piankai sp. n. differs from 3 other Australian species of Oochoristica from lizards in the number of testes and the shape of the ovary. The presence of the nematode Parapharyngodon kartana and an encysted larva of Abbreviata sp. are also reported. Moloch horridus represents a new host record for P. kartana. KEY WORDS: Oochoristica piankai sp. n., cestode, Parapharyngodon kartana, Abbreviata sp., nematode, Mo- loch horridus, lizard, Agamidae, Australia. Only 3 of 74 species of Oochoristica Luhe, Northern Territory (snout-vent length = 86.1 mm ± 1898, a cosmopolitan genus of cestodes, have 14.5 SD). These specimens had been collected between been reported previously from reptiles of Aus- October 1966 and January 1968 for use in an ecological study (Pianka and Pianka, 1970); collection data will tralia. Taenia trachysauri MacCallum, 1921, was be found in that report. Because the ecological study described from specimens discovered in the in- included stomach analysis, only small and large intes- testine of the Australian lizard Trachydosaurus tines remained with most of the carcasses, but 3 intact rugosus Gray, in the New York Zoological Gar- stomachs and 5 pyloric stomach regions were present.

The pandemic has made essential self distancing and quarantining to arrest the spread of the Corona virus. As a result, most APS activities have been shelved for the time being. Being in isolation at home has been a mixed blessing.

Agadir Directeur de Thèse Résumé La gestion et la préservation des formations steppiques à base d’Acacias sahariens (Acacia tortilis subsp raddiana) nécessitent au préalable une évaluation et une caractérisation de leur variabilité. Cette approche se base sur des études pluridisciplinaires faisant appel à l’analyse de la diversité des caractères adaptatifs (caractères agro-morphologiques) et neutres (marqueurs génétiques). Dans ce contexte, la présente étude vise à explorer à l’aide de marqueurs agro-morphométriques et moléculaires, la variabilité génétique des Acacias sahariens du Maroc. Cette étude a été menée en trois parties : i) Variabilité de la germination des graines collectées sur six provenances par l’utilisation de trois traitements (mécanique, chimique et thermique) avec un suivi de la cinétique de croissance au stade plantule. ii) Variabilité de neuf caractères morpho-métriques liés aux fruits (gousses) par une étude comparative au niveau des descendances (familles de demi-frères), des provenances (Agdz, N’Koub, Tazarine, Mcissi, Tata, Tissint, Foum Zguid, Guelmim, Msied et Assa) et des saisons (deux années d’étude).

    Myrmecological News 20 25-36 Online Earlier, for print 2014 The evolution and functional morphology of trap-jaw ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Fredrick J. LARABEE & Andrew V. SUAREZ Abstract We review the biology of trap-jaw ants whose highly specialized mandibles generate extreme speeds and forces for predation and defense. Trap-jaw ants are characterized by elongated, power-amplified mandibles and use a combination of latches and springs to generate some of the fastest animal movements ever recorded. Remarkably, trap jaws have evolved at least four times in three subfamilies of ants. In this review, we discuss what is currently known about the evolution, morphology, kinematics, and behavior of trap-jaw ants, with special attention to the similarities and key dif- ferences among the independent lineages. We also highlight gaps in our knowledge and provide suggestions for future research on this notable group of ants.

  • Characterization of the Wild Trees and Shrubs in the Egyptian Flora
    10 Egypt. J. Bot. Vol. 60, No. 1, pp. 147-168 (2020) Egyptian Journal of Botany http://ejbo.journals.ekb.eg/ Characterization of the Wild Trees and Shrubs in the Egyptian Flora Heba Bedair#, Kamal Shaltout, Dalia Ahmed, Ahmed Sharaf El-Din, Ragab El- Fahhar Botany Department, Faculty of Science, Tanta University, 31527, Tanta, Egypt. HE present study aims to study the floristic characteristics of the native trees and shrubs T(with height ≥50cm) in the Egyptian flora. The floristic characteristics include taxonomic diversity, life and sex forms, flowering activity, dispersal types,economic potential, threats and national and global floristic distributions. Nine field visits were conducted to many locations all over Egypt for collecting trees and shrubs. From each location, plant and seed specimens were collected from different habitats. In present study 228 taxa belonged to 126 genera and 45 families were recorded, including 2 endemics (Rosa arabica and Origanum syriacum subsp. sinaicum) and 5 near-endemics. They inhabit 14 habitats (8 natural and 6 anthropogenic). Phanerophytes (120 plants) are the most represented life form, followed by chamaephytes (100 plants). Bisexuals are the most represented. Sarcochores (74 taxa) are the most represented dispersal type, followed by ballochores (40 taxa). April (151 taxa) and March (149 taxa) have the maximum flowering plants. Small geographic range - narrow habitat - non abundant plants are the most represented rarity form (180 plants). Deserts are the most rich regions with trees and shrubs (127 taxa), while Sudano-Zambezian (107 taxa) and Saharo-Arabian (98 taxa) was the most. Medicinal plants (154 taxa) are the most represented good, while salinity tolerance (105 taxa) was the most represented service and over-collecting and over-cutting was the most represented threat.
