The Effects of Fire on Burrow-Nesting Seabirds Particularly Short-Tailed Shearwaters
Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 133(1), 1999 15 THE EFFECTS OF FIRE ON BURROW-NESTING SEABIRDS PARTICULARLY SHORT-TAILED SHEARWATERS (PUFF/NUS TENUIROSTR/5) AND THEIR HABITAT IN TASMANIA by Nigel Brothers and Stephen Harris (with three text-figures, four plates and an appendix) BROTHERS, N. & HARRJS, S., 1999 (31 :x): The effects of fire on burrow-nesting seabirds particularly short-tailed shearwaters (Puffinus tenuirostris) and their habitat in Tasmania. Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 133(1 ): 15-22. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.133.1.15 ISSN 0080-4703. Parks and Wildlife Service, Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment, GPO Box 44A, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 7001. The synchronised breeding habit of many seabird species makes them particularly vulnerable to fires in the nesting area. Post-fire recolonisation and soil formation were studied on Albatross Island, and observations from island rookeries of shearwaters, fairy prions and fairy penguins in eastern Bass Strait and elsewhere were used with a view to understanding the long-term impact of fires on seabird colonies in Tasmania. Key Words: island vegetation, flora, Tasmania, fire, coast, rookeries, seabirds, soil depth, Puffinus tenuirostris, Bass Strait, habitat monitoring. INTRODUCTION and it is in such circumstances chat burrow-nesting seabirds are found in greatest abundance. Short-tailed shearwaters, Large populations of seabirds breed on islands around Puffinustenuirostris, are most abundant in chis habitat, Tasmania and it is on these islands chat wildfires frequencly with small numbers of liccle penguin, Eudyptes minor, occur, moscly through vandalism, sometimes by accident. scattered throughout.

It was therefore decided that this would be a logical framework on which to develop the Dryland Salinity Audit process. · Land resources result from the interaction of geology, climate, topography, soils and vegetation · Areas where these are considered to be relatively uniform for broad scale uses are classified as land components. Land components are grouped into larger entities called land systems, which are the mapping units used for this Audit. -
Tasmanian Aborigines in the Furneaux Group in the Nine Teenth Century—Population and Land
‘I hope you will be my frend’: Tasmanian Aborigines in the Furneaux Group in the nine teenth century—population and land tenure Irynej Skira Abstract This paper traces the history of settlement of the islands of the Furneaux Group in Bass Strait and the effects of government regulation on the long term settlements of Tasma nian Aboriginal people from the 1850s to the early 1900s. Throughout the nineteenth century the Aboriginal population grew slowly eventually constituting approximately 40 percent of the total population of the Furneaux Group. From the 1860s outsiders used the existing land title system to obtain possession of the islands. Aborigines tried to establish tenure through the same system, but could not compete because they lacked capital, and were disadvantaged by isolation in their communication with gov ernment. Further, the islands' use for grazing excluded Aborigines who rarely had large herds of stock and were generally not agriculturalists. The majority of Aborigines were forced to settle on Cape Barren Island, where they built homes on a reserve set aside for them. European expansion of settlement on Flinders Island finally completed the disen franchisement of Aboriginal people by making the Cape Barren Island enclave depend ent on the government. Introduction In December 1869 Thomas Mansell, an Aboriginal, applied to lease a small island. He petitioned the Surveyor-General, T hope you will be my Frend...I am one of old hands Her, and haf Cast and have large family and no hum'.1 Unfortunately, he could not raise £1 as down payment. Mansell's was one of the many attempts by Aboriginal people in the Furneaux Group to obtain valid leasehold or freehold and recognition of their long term occupation. -

Reptiles from the Islands of Tasmania(PDF, 530KB)
REPTILES FROM THE ISLANDS OF TASMANIA R.H. Green and J.L. Rainbird June 1993 TECHNICAL REPORT 1993/1 QUEEN VICTORIA MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY LAUNCESTON Reptiles from the islands of Tasmania by R.H. Green and J.L. Rainbird Queen VICtoria Museum, Launceston ABSTRACT Records of lizards and snakes from 110 islands within the pOlitical boundaries of Tasmania are summarised. Dates, literature, references and materials collected are given, together with some comments on numerical status and breeding conditions. INTRODUCTION Very little has been published on the distribution of reptiles which occur on the smaller islands around Tasmania. MacKay (1955) gave some notes on a collection of reptiles from the Furneaux Islands. Rawlinson (1967) listed and discussed records of 13 species from the Furneaux Group and 10 species from King Island. Green (1969) recorded 12 species from Flinders Island and Mt Chappell Island and Green and McGarvie (1971) recorded 9 spedes from King Island following fauna surveys In both locations. Rawlinson (1974) listed 15 species as occurring on the Tasmanian mainland, 12 on islands in the Furneaux Group and 9 on King Island. Hutchinson et al. (1989) gave some known populations of Pseudemoia pretiosa on islands off the southern coast, and haphazard and opportunistic collecting has produced occasional records from various small islands over the years. In 1984 Nigel Brothers, a field biologist with the Tasmanian Department of Environment and Parks, Wildlife and Heritage, commenced a programme designed to gain a greater knowledge of the small and uninhabited isrands around Tasmania. The survey Involved landing on rocks and small islands which might support vegetation and fauna and to record observations and collect specimens. -
