    RESEARCH ARTICLE Communally Nesting Migratory Birds Create Ecological Hot-Spots in Tropical Australia Daniel J. D. Natusch1,2*, Jessica A. Lyons2, Gregory Brown1, Richard Shine1 1 School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 2 Resource Evaluation and Development, Bamaga, Queensland, Australia * [email protected] Abstract Large numbers of metallic starlings (Aplonis metallica) migrate annually from New Guinea to the rainforests of tropical Australia, where they nest communally in single emergent trees a11111 (up to 1,000 birds). These aggregations create dense and species-rich faunal “hot-spots”, attracting a diverse assemblage of local consumers that utilise this seasonal resource. The starlings nested primarily in poison-dart trees (Antiaris toxicaria) near the rainforest-wood- land boundary. Surveys underneath these colonies revealed that bird-derived nutrients massively increased densities of soil invertebrates and mammals (primarily wild pigs) beneath trees, year-round. Flying invertebrates, nocturnal birds, reptiles, and amphibians OPEN ACCESS congregated beneath the trees when starlings were nesting (the wet-season).

  • Appendix K Revegetation Plan
    Appendix K Revegetation Plan Supplementary Biological Report McArthur River Mine Open Cut Project November 2005 Prepared by: Marj King Phone: (08) 8985 6885 Email: [email protected] 1. Introduction Establishment of vegetative cover is one of the important elements of a rehabilitation plan for a mine site (Bell, 1999). It is proposed the revegetation for the McArthur River Diversion Project be carried out over two years using two methods: a) the planting of seedlings and b) direct seeding. The aim of this report is to provide the: • criteria for species selection • basis for species mix • estimated duration and time for harvesting and seeding • methods of seeding and planting 2. Criteria for species selection Provenance: Only species that grow in the area have been selected and all will be collected as close as possible to the area to be rehabilitated. This is based on the concept that local populations have evolved and adapted to local conditions and better adapted to long-term survival (Coates & van Leeuwen, 1996). The Tree and Shrub species will be collected from within the boundaries of the McArthur river catchment while the Grass species will be collected from within the mining lease itself. Species diversity: The ideal situation is to include as many species as possible that grow in the adjoining section of the river. All species from the mid and upper stratum of Vegetation Communities 7 and 8 (Appendix H.4) have been included, as have all the Poacea species from the lower stratum. Some mid and upper stratum species from Vegetation Communities 5 and 6 have been added (Acacia species and Atalaya hemiglauca) as they are important colonisers of disturbed ground.

  • Grow Natives in Pots
    ATG About the Garden ATGFACTAbout SHEET the Garden Fact Sheet No. 21 GROWING NATIVES IN POTS The key factors to successfully growing Australian plants in containers are exactly the same as for exotic plants - drainage and nutrition. The main points to remember are that good drainage is even more important for certain natives (mainly those originating in arid areas with very light, sandy soils) and that plants in the Proteaceae family require low phosphorus fertilisers. When growing plants in containers it is important *PLANTS IN THE to know their type and origin so ask yourself the following questions: FAMILY PROTEACEAE • Tree, shrub or climber/groundcover? • Does it originate in a high or low rainfall area?
