    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? 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. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used 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.

  • – Media Release – Collaborative Exhibition Opens at the South Australian Museum As Part of Tarnanthi
    – Media Release – Collaborative exhibition opens at the South Australian Museum as part of Tarnanthi Still in my mind: Gurindji location, experience and visuality presented by Artback NT opens this Friday, 18 October at the South Australian Museum, as part of Tarnanthi: Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art. The exhibition reflects on the enduring impacts of dispossession and displacement, including those of a pivotal land rights event, the 1966–75 Gurindji ‘walk-off’. Gurindji/Malngin Leader Vincent Lingiari led over 200 countrymen, women and children off Wave Hill Station to protest slave labour conditions and human rights abuse. “Although other protest and strike actions had taken place preceding the 1966 Gurindji Walk-Off, it was arguably the birth of the national land rights movement in Australia. The events of this time and place have significance for me as a Gurindji/Malngin/Mudburra woman, through my direct family connection to the area, and through my family’s experience as members of the Stolen Generations,” said Brenda L. Croft, curator and participating artist. Croft developed the exhibition through practice-led research with her father’s community, Karungkarni Art and Culture Aboriginal Corporation, UNSW Galleries and UNSW Art & Design. As a part of this, Croft retraced the Gurindji ‘walk-off’ steps in homage to those before her, who made the 22-kilometre journey half a century ago. “I was motivated to develop this exhibition in partnership with Karungkarni artists and Gurindji community members in tribute to those whose profound communal act of courage, resilience and determination changed the course of history.” Croft said.

In order to understand patterns of abundances of migratory Lepidoptera in southernmost Europe and contrast this with those of sedentary species, we studied butterflies surveyed along transects during three spring migration seasons at the Rock of Gibraltar. Overall, 2508 butterflies belonging to 19 species were recorded. Of these, the four most numerous species accounted for almost 88% of all individuals recorded. These were the migratory Clouded Yellow Colias croceus, Red Admiral Vanessa atalanta and Painted Lady Vanessa cardui, and the sedentary Common Blue Polyommatus icarus. There was a significant correlation between abundance of P. icarus and C. croceus. Furthermore, abundances of C.
