  • Malleefowl Facts Dec2016 FINAL
    Fauna facts Get to know Western Australia’s fauna Mal leefowl What is a malleefowl? A malleefowl is a bird about the size of a large chicken that lives on the ground and rarely flies. They make nests on the ground, called malleefowl mounds, by heaping together a large mound of soil over a pile of leaves and sticks. Photo: Nye Evans Scientific Name: Leipoa ocellata What do they look and sound like? Other Common Names: gnow, nganamara, lowan, They can be very hard to spot because they native pheasant, incubator or thermometer bird camouflage so well with their natural environment. The wing feathers are grey, black Conservation Status: Vulnerable and white, the belly is creamy, and the neck Threats: vegetation clearing, feral cat and fox and head are grey. predation, fire, road mortality and competition for Malleefowl will often freeze or move quietly food and habitat with sheep, rabbits, cattle and goats. away when disturbed. The male malleefowl Distribution: Semi-arid Mallee ( Eucalyptus ) makes a deep bellowing or loud clucks, while shrublands and woodlands across southern Australia the female makes a high-pitched crowing, soft crooning or low grunting noise. Interesting facts The scientific name means ‘eyelet egg-leaver’ because they have a white ring around their eyes and they bury their eggs in the mound. Malleefowl use their beaks to check the temperature inside the mound, which is why they are also known as thermometer birds and incubator birds. Malleefowl mounds can be as big as 1 metre high and 5 metres wide. Have you seen a malleefowl? The female lays up to 35 eggs and buries them Please tell us if you have seen a malleefowl or inside the nest.

Simpsons Gap, well captured in early morning light by Cliff Hensel. We started off the tour in Sydney with a visit to Centennial Park, where we were fortunate to meet up with Steve Howard, who took us to several of his favorite birding sites and got us onto a Powerful Owl which would have otherwise been impossible to find. Several of us also enjoyed feeding figs to a Common Brushtail Possum roosting in the area. We then headed over to the Sydney Botanical Garden for another Powerful Owl and a nice view of the Sydney harbour. The next morning, we headed over to Royal National Park and had a great morning walking along the Lady Carrington Drive. Lots of wonderful birds, with Superb Lyrebird being the most memorable. After a cafe lunch, we tracked down a wonderful pair of Rockwarblers. After our flight to Melbourne, we headed to the Western Treatment Plant for a tour with Paul. We had a great tour of Werribee, with some good shorebird action and a nice mix of ducks and waterbirds. From there we made our way back to St. Kilda, and an evening visit to the harbor to watch Little Penguins come ashore. The following morning we made a brief stop at the Serendip Sanctuary to see the Cape Barren Geese before heading on to Pt. Addis on the Great Ocean Road, where we had fantastic views of a Rufous Bristlebird family.

  • Supplementary Methods S1
    1 Validation methods for trophic niche models 2 3 To assign links between nodes (species), we used trophic niche-space models (e.g., [1]). 4 Each of these models has two quantile regressions that define the prey-size range a 5 predator of a given size is predicted to consume. Species whose body mass is within the 6 range of a predator’s prey size, as identified by the trophic niche-space model, are predicted 7 to be prey, while those outside the range are predicted not to be eaten. 8 9 The broad taxonomy of a predator helps to predict predation interactions [2]. To optimize 10 our trophic niche-space model, we therefore tested whether including taxonomic class of 11 predators improved the fit of quantile regressions. Using trophic (to identify which species 12 were predators), body mass, and taxonomic data, we fitted and compared five quantile 13 regression models (including a null model) to the GloBI data. In each model, we log10- 14 transformed the dependent variable prey body mass, and included for the independent 15 variables different combinations of log10-transformed predator body mass, predator class, 16 and the interaction between these variables (Supplementary Table S4). We log10- 17 transformed both predator and prey body mass to linearize the relationship between these 18 variables. We fit the five quantile regressions to the upper and lower 5% of prey body mass, 19 and compared model fits using the Bayesian information criterion (BIC). The predator body 20 mass*predator class model fit the 95th quantile data best, whereas the predator body mass 21 + predator class model fit the 5th quantile data marginally better than the aforementioned 22 interaction model (Supplementary Figure S2, Supplementary Table S4).
