The mine is owned and operated by Wilpinjong Coal Pty Ltd (WCPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Peabody Energy Australia. WCPL are required to undertake Stream Health Monitoring (SHM) as part of Appendix 2 of the Wilpinjong Water Management Plan (WCPL 2017). Eleven previous surveys have been undertaken, with the last occurring in spring 2017 (WCPL 2017) 1.2 Regional overview Wilpinjong Creek is the main waterway flowing past the WCM. It is an intermittent creek with a narrow floodplain that has a history of cattle grazing. The main channel contains dense beds of Phragmites sp. (Common Reed) and Typha sp. (Bulrush) for most of the reach included in this assessment. The northern edge of the floodplain is bordered by the Goulburn River National Park (NP). Wilpinjong Creek has three coal mines in its catchment, including Moolarben, Ulan, and Wilpinjong, with the latter being the most downstream. WCPL discharges water, treated by reverse osmosis, into Wilpinjong Creek at a point adjacent to the WCM. Cumbo Creek flows north through land managed by WCPL, passing between Pit 3 and Pit 4. Cumbo Creek joins Wilpinjong Creek north of the eastern pit area. Approximately 4.5 km downstream of where Wilpinjong Creek flows past WCM, it joins Wollar Creek, which continues another 13 km through the Goulburn River NP before it enters the Goulburn River. 1.3 Scope of works Eco Logical Australia (ELA) was commissioned by WCPL to conduct the latest round of SHM. Monitoring included assessments of macroinvertebrate communities, basic water quality, habitat conditions, and channel conditions. Appendix 2 of the WCPL Water Management

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Eumops is the most diverse genera of molossid bats in the Neotropics. In Peru this genus is widely distributed and represented by nine species: E. auripendulus, E. delticus, E. hansae, E. maurus, E. nanus, E. patagonicus, E. perotis, E. trumbulli, and E. wilsoni. After several years of mammalian diversity surveys in the coastal desert and western slopes of southwestern Peru, a specimen of Eumops was collected whose unique set of traits allows us to assert that deserves to be described as a new species. Based on molecular and morphological evidence, the new species is related to medium- large sized species (i.e.

  • YELLOW BOX–BLAKELY's RED GUM GRASSY WOODLAND Action Plan
    YELLOW BOX–BLAKELY’S RED GUM GRASSY WOODLAND ENDANGERED ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN PART B 111 PREAMBLE Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland was declared an endangered ecological community on 19 May 1997 (Instrument No. DI1997-89 Nature Conservation Act 1980; Appendix A). Under section 101 of the Nature Conservation Act 2014, the Conservator of Flora and Fauna is responsible for preparing a draft action plan for listed ecological communities. The first action plan for this ecological community was prepared in 1999 (ACT Government 1999). This revised edition supersedes all previous editions. In this action plan, ‘Endangered YB-BRG Woodland’ refers specifically to remnants of the federally listed (EPBC Act 1999) Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland endangered ecological community. Reference to ‘YB-BRG Woodland’ encompasses areas of Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland that may not meet all criteria for listing as an endangered ecological community, but contain critical components of the community, thereby retaining biodiversity values worthy of management action. Measures proposed in this action plan complement those proposed in the action plans for Natural Temperate Grassland, and for component threatened species that occur in Box-Gum woodland: Small Purple Pea (Swainsona recta), Superb Parrot (Polytelis swainsonii), and Tarengo Leek Orchid (Prasophyllum petilum), available at the ACT Government’s Environment website. CONSERVATION CONSERVATION STATUS OBJECTIVES Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy Woodland is The overarching goal of this action plan is to conserve declared a threatened ecological community according Endangered Yellow Box-Blakely’s Red Gum Grassy to the following legislation: Woodland (hereafter Endangered YB-BRG Woodland) in perpetuity as a viable ecological community across its → National: Environment Protection and Biodiversity geographic range in the ACT.

Memoirs of the Queensland Museum 45(1):1-164. Brisbane. ISSN 0079-8835. Published reports of protozoan species from Australian animals have been compiled into a host- parasite checklist, a parasite-host checklist and a cross-referenced bibliography. Protozoa listed include parasites, commensals and symbionts but free-living species have been excluded. Over 590 protozoan species are listed including amoebae, flagellates, ciliates and ‘sporozoa’ (the latter comprising apicomplexans, microsporans, myxozoans, haplosporidians and paramyxeans). Organisms are recorded in association with some 520 hosts including mammals, marsupials, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates. Information has been abstracted from over 1,270 scientific publications predating 1999 and all records include taxonomic authorities, synonyms, common names, sites of infection within hosts and geographic locations.
