  • Orchid Pollinators on Bowerbird …
    10 July 2015 Ken Walker ([email protected]) Museum Victoria. Edition 16. Hi All – During my working week, I get out to the kitchen about 6:30am to make myself and Heather my wife a morning cup of tea which we have in bed listening to the radio news and comparing our coming days. It could be my imagination, but I am sure each morning now is a “little” bit brighter with a “little” bit more pre-dawn light coming in the kitchen window. Each morning when I get to work, my first task is to open BowerBird and seeing what fascinating records have been entered overnight or first thing in the morning. I am never let down by what I find. I then send out emails to my “expert identification network” asking for assistance. Taxonomists are a funny bunch of people. I must admit that I mainly know the morphological taxonomists rather than the new molecular breed and apart from a few, the molecular taxonomists are not too good at image based identifications. Initially, I found it strange that many of my fellow taxonomists did not join BowerBird to offer their taxonomic assistance but whenever I send them an identification request they are all more than happy to identify to identify and elaborate on almost any BowerBird record that I send their way. My reasoning is that they just do not have time to wade through the hundreds and thousands of records to find the ones where they can offer taxonomic assistance but are willing to assist if I cull and send them things in their speciality.

This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian 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. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html 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.
