  • Ngangkan Culture Camp and Biodiversity Survey
    Ngangkan Culture Camp and Biodiversity Survey June 2013 Where and Why? Our camp was on Ngangkan in Ngolkwarre country, in the Warddeken IPA on the western Arnhem Plateau, Northern Territory. The elders chose Ngangkan for the families to camp because it is a peaceful place, away from town, with lots of bush tucker; a place to bring back memories to share and a place for kids to learn about cultural knowledge. Warddeken Indigenous Protected Area is funded to look after the country and its animals. Every year, the Warddeken rangers do surveys to look for animals and to build up a picture of what is happening with the animals over time. Surveys have been done at Ngangkan since 2012 and the same sites are visited each year to see if the animal numbers are changing. It is planned to use Ngangkan as a long term monitoring site to keep a check on animal numbers in Warddeken IPA. 2 Who was there? • Rangers and Traditional Owners of the Warddeken IPA from the Manmoyi and Kamarrkawarn ranger bases, with their families and lots of kids as it was the school holidays • Scientists Alys Stevens and Terry Mahney from Flora and Fauna Division (NT Govt) • Manmoyi Outstation school teacher – Dan McLaren • Volunteer Doctor – Gabby Hall • Georgia Vallance – Warddeken Coordinator 3 3 What we did Cultural activities Cultural activities included; gathering (bushtucker, cultural materials like pandanas, digging sticks), knowledge sharing in evenings, corroboree with singing and dancing, traditional cooking, making music with traditional instruments and knowledge sharing everyday as part of life. Berribob taught the boys and young men how to make shovel spears, spear throwers and make fire in preparation for a fire drive to hunt kangaroo.

The reintroduction of dingoes into sheep-grazing areas south-east of the dingo barrier fence has been suggested as a mechanism to suppress fox and feral-cat impacts. Using the Western Division of New South Wales as a case study, Dickman et al. (2009) recently assessed the risk of fox and cat predation to extant threatened species and concluded that reintroducing dingoes into the area would have positive effects for most of the threatened vertebrates there, aiding their recovery through trophic cascade effects. However, they did not formally assess the risk of dingo predation to the same threatened species. Aims. To assess the risk of dingo predation to the extant and locally extinct threatened vertebrates of western New South Wales using methods amenable to comparison with Dickman et al. (2009). Methods. The predation-risk assessment method used in Dickman et al. (2009) for foxes and cats was applied here to dingoes, with minor modification to accommodate the dietary differences of dingoes. This method is based on six independent biological attributes, primarily reflective of potential vulnerability characteristics of the prey.

A taxonomic framework for typhlopid snakes from the Caribbean and other regions (Reptilia, Squamata). Caribbean Herpetology 49:1–61. Abstract The evolutionary history and taxonomy of worm-like snakes (scolecophidians) continues to be refined as new molec- ular data are gathered and analyzed. Here we present additional evidence on the phylogeny of these snakes, from morphological data and 489 new DNA sequences, and propose a new taxonomic framework for the family Typhlopi- dae. Of 257 named species of typhlopid snakes, 92 are now placed in molecular phylogenies along with 60 addition- al species yet to be described. Afrotyphlopinae subfam. nov. is distributed almost exclusively in sub-Saharan Africa and contains three genera: Afrotyphlops, Letheobia, and Rhinotyphlops. Asiatyphlopinae subfam. nov. is distributed in Asia, Australasia, and islands of the western and southern Pacific, and includes ten genera:Acutotyphlops, Anilios, Asiatyphlops gen.

  • A New Species of Anilios (Scolecophidia: Typhlopidae) from Central Australia
    Zootaxa 4033 (1): 103–116 ISSN 1175-5326 (print edition) www.mapress.com/zootaxa/ Article ZOOTAXA Copyright © 2015 Magnolia Press ISSN 1175-5334 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.4033.1.5 http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:D3D9BFAA-F967-4342-ABFC-BA3EAEA40E43 A new species of Anilios (Scolecophidia: Typhlopidae) from Central Australia GLENN M. SHEA Faculty of Veterinary Science B01, University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia and Australian Museum Research Institute, Australian Museum, 6 College St, Sydney, NSW 2010, Australia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Anilios fossor sp. nov. is described from a single specimen collected in 1989 from Ruby Gap Nature Park, Northern Ter- ritory. The species differs from all other Anilios species in the combination of 20 midbody scales, 514 dorsal scales, a rounded, non-angulate snout in lateral and dorsal profile, a nasal cleft contacting the second supralabial and not extending to the head dorsum, and a large round rostral shield in dorsal view. It is unclear whether the paucity of material of this species represents a limited distribution, or poor sampling in a remote, sparsely settled part of the continent. Evidence for the recognition of the Australian typhlopid fauna as a distinct genus Anilios is critically reviewed, and the genus is found to be recognizable only on genetic evidence. Some other recent nomenclatural and taxonomic changes in the Australian typhlopid fauna are considered and rejected. Key words: Reptilia, Squamata, Serpentes, morphology, systematics, nomenclature, Northern Territory Introduction Modern knowledge of the typhlopid snake fauna of Australia began almost a century ago with a monographic treatment by Waite (1918).
