Pilgangoora SRE Level 1 Assessment Pilbara Minerals Ltd EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction. Pilbara Minerals Ltd is undertaking a feasibility study for the Pilgangoora Lithium-Tantalum Project. The mine will be located in the northern Pilbara region of Western Australia, approximately 82 km south south- east of Port Hedland. Throughput is estimated to be 2 Mtpa of ore for more than 20 years. A Level 1 Short- Range Endemic Fauna Assessment is required to provide information about the occurrence of short-range endemic invertebrate fauna (SREs) across the Project area and assess the potential impact from mining on SRE fauna. Methods. The assessment was carried out in two stages. First, a desktop review was undertaken to collate existing data on SREs occurring in the vicinity of the Project, as well as to identify the known occurrence of any invertebrate species listed under conservation legislation. Published literature, publically available environmental reports and available online databases were searched to identify potential and confirmed SRE species in groups that contain a high proportion of range-restricted species (the SRE Groups). Detailed habitat mapping was also undertaken to identify landforms potentially suitable to SRE fauna. Second, a reconnaissance field survey was carried out between 18 and 21 April 2016 and a total of 10 sites were sampled by foraging, with three sites in proposed impact areas and seven sites in areas expected to remain undisturbed. Species in SRE groups were identified to species level and SRE status was assessed using the SRE criteria of the Western Australian Museum (WAM). Results. The desktop review showed that no listed invertebrate species occur at the Project. No confirmed or potential SRE species have been collected previously from the Project area either but there are records of at least 56 species belonging to eight SRE groups in the search area surrounding the Project. The vast majority of these species are potential SREs in the WAM sub-category “Data deficient” but there were also seven confirmed SREs (12.5%) in the Project vicinity; some of which have been recorded from habitats similar to those found at the Project. The total area mapped as prospective for SRE fauna is 1,327 ha and covers approximately 36.5% of the Project area. The most prospective habitats in the Project area are Minor Drainage Lines and Hills with Gorges and Breakaways. These two habitats comprise 592.6 ha (16.3%) of the Project area. The most common habitat type, Plains (2309.55 ha, 63.5% of Project area), appears to have little suitability for SRE species. The reconnaissance survey collected at least 23 species belonging to eight SRE groups. The most diverse groups were terrestrial snails and pseudoscorpions with five species each, followed by scorpions (four species), slaters (three species), centipedes and millipedes (two species each) and mygalomorph and selenopid spiders (one species each). No listed and no confirmed SRE species were collected. Although almost half (11) of the collected species were regarded as potential SREs, the majority of these (eight species) were collected either outside or both within and outside the proposed impact areas and are not of conservation concern. Three species were collected from the impact areas only but these are in the SRE category “Data deficient”, which is a category applied to species with unknown ranges for which SRE status cannot be assessed. Conclusion. The landscape in the Project area is relatively uniform with limited availability of potential SRE habitats and most species belonging to SRE Groups were widespread with ranges that extend far beyond the survey area. The proportion of potential SRE species collected was not especially high and the three potential SREs (a spider, centipede and slater) currently only known from proposed impact areas classed as potential SREs because they have unknown, rather than restricted, ranges. The three potential species were collected in habitats that are not restricted at a local, sub-regional or regional level. It is therefore highly likely that the three species have substantial occurrences outside the survey area. There is no foreseeable impact on SRE fauna from Project development because: 1. There is a high level of historical mining disturbance at the Project; 2. No listed or confirmed SRE invertebrate species occur in the Project area and the three potential SREs known only from impact areas are likely to occur more widely; 3. There are no SRE habitats that are unique to the Project and all landforms are widespread beyond the survey area, with no barriers or isolated patches of habitat that might restrict dispersal in SRE fauna; 4. The impact area is very small (823.1 ha) and covers a fraction of a much more extensive greenstone belt that extends towards the east. In summary, this Project will not impact on SRE fauna conservation values and listed invertebrate species. There is no threat to this community from Project development. iv Pilgangoora SRE Level 1 Assessment Pilbara Minerals Ltd CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ..............................................................................................................................

  • The Short-Range Endemic Invertebrate Fauna of the Ravensthorpe Range
    THE SHORT-RANGE ENDEMIC INVERTEBRATE FAUNA OF THE RAVENSTHORPE RANGE MARK S. HARVEY MEI CHEN LENG Department of Terrestrial Zoology Western Australian Museum June 2008 2 Executive Summary An intensive survey of short-range endemic invertebrates in the Ravensthorpe Range at 79 sites revealed a small but significant fauna of myriapods and arachnids. Four species of short-range endemic invertebrates were found: • The millipede Antichiropus sp. R • The millipede Atelomastix sp. C • The millipede Atelomastix sp. P • The pseudoscorpion Amblyolpium sp. “WA1” Atelomastix sp. C is the only species found to be endemic to the Ravensthorpe Range and was found at 14 sites. Antichiropus sp. R, Atelomastix sp. P and Amblyolpium sp. “WA1” are also found at nearby locations. Sites of high importance include: site 40 with 7 species; sites 7 and 48 each with 5 species; and sites 18 and 44 each with 4 species. WA Museum - Ravensthorpe Range Survey 3 Introduction Australia contains a multitude of terrestrial invertebrate fauna species, with many yet to be discovered and described. Arthropods alone were recently estimated to consist of approximately more than 250,000 species (Yeates et al. 2004). The majority of these belong to the arthropod classes Insecta and Arachnida, and although many have relatively wide distributions across the landscape, some are highly restricted in range with special ecological requirements. These taxa, termed short-range endemics (Harvey 2002b), are taxa categorised as having poor dispersal abilities and/or requiring very specific habitats, usually with naturally small distributional ranges of less than 10,000 km2 and the following ecological and life-history traits: • poor powers of dispersal; • confinement to discontinuous habitats; • usually highly seasonal, only active during cooler, wetter periods; and • low levels of fecundity.

ZooKeys 578: 15–31. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.578.8052 Abstract This study documents the first detailed phylogenetic analysis of an Australian paradoxosomatid millipede genus. Two mitochondrial genes (partial COI and 16S) as well as partial nuclear 28S rDNA were ampli- fied and sequenced for 41 individuals of the southeastern Australian genus Pogonosternum Jeekel, 1965. The analysis indicates that five species groups ofPogonosternum occur across New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania: P. nigrovirgatum (Carl, 1912), P. adrianae Jeekel, 1982, P. laetificum Jeekel, 1982 and two undescribed species. P. coniferum (Jeekel, 1965) specimens cluster within P. nigrovirgatum. Most of these five species groups exhibit a pattern of high intraspecific genetic variability and highly local- ized haplotypes, suggesting that they were confined to multiple Pleistocene refugia on the southeastern Australian mainland.

ABSTRACT – The millipede genus Antichiropus Attems, 1911, is extremely diverse and the majority of species are endemic to south-western Western Australia. Very little is known about the general biology of species of Antichiropus; however, these millipedes are becoming useful models for studies of speciation and sexual selection, and remain central to SRE-based conservation planning for government and industry in the expanding resources sector of Western Australia. This paper details optimised captive husbandry conditions and observations made regarding the natural history of one species – Antichiropus variabilis – following three years of fi eld collecting and laboratory-based behavioural and molecular research.

India E-mail: [email protected] ORCID: 0000-0002-4926-2496 Abstract Mating behaviour of Chondromorpha severini, a polydesmid millipede was studied in the field and in the laboratory condition. Copulating pair follows the general rule of love play before actual act of coitus. Mating duration varied from one to 25 minute with an average of eight minute. Mating frequency was maximum in early and late hours of day. In the multiple mate preference experiment, 10 pairs of male and female were used to calculate preference index (Pi) of individual sex. Preference index varies from 0.65 to 0.91. The implication of multiple mating has been discussed in detail. The study confirmed that i) the species belongs to polygynandrous mating system where males are the pursuers and females are the accomplishers ii) short and long duration mating is related to mate acquisition and mate guarding respectively Keywords: Love play, preference index, polygynandrous, short and long duration mating, triplet formation bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.08.23.263863; this version posted August 24, 2020.

  • Genetic Diversity of Populations of a Southern African Millipede, Bicoxidens Flavicollis (Diplopoda, Spirostreptida, Spirostreptidae)
    Genetic diversity of populations of a Southern African millipede, Bicoxidens flavicollis (Diplopoda, Spirostreptida, Spirostreptidae) by Yevette Gounden 212502571 Submitted in fulfillment of the academic requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Genetics) School of Life Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal Westville campus November 2018 As the candidate’s supervisor I have/have not approved this thesis/dissertation for submission. Signed: _____________ Name: _____________ Date: _____________ ABSTRACT The African millipede genus Bicoxidens is endemic to Southern Africa, inhabiting a variety of regions ranging from woodlands to forests. Nine species are known within the genus but Bicoxidens flavicollis is the most dominant and wide spread species found across Zimbabwe. Bicoxidens flavicollis individuals have been found to express phenotypic variation in several morphological traits. The most commonly observed body colours are brown and black. In the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe body colour ranges from orange- yellow to black, individuals from North East of Harare have a green-black appearance and a range in size (75–110 mm). There is disparity in body size which has been noted with individuals ranging from medium to large and displaying variation in the number of body rings. Although much morphological variation has been observed within this species, characterization based on gonopod morphology alone cannot distinguish or define variation between phenotypically distinct individuals. Morphological classification has been found to be too inclusive and hiding significant genetic variation. Taxa must be re-assessed with the implementation of DNA molecular methods to identify the variation between individuals. This study aimed to detect genetic divergence of B. flavicollis due to isolation by distance of populations across Zimbabwe.

  • Ordinal-Level Phylogenomics of the Arthropod Class
    Ordinal-Level Phylogenomics of the Arthropod Class Diplopoda (Millipedes) Based on an Analysis of 221 Nuclear Protein-Coding Loci Generated Using Next- Generation Sequence Analyses Michael S. Brewer1,2*, Jason E. Bond3 1 Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management, University of California Berkeley, Berkeley, California, United States of America, 2 Department of Biology, East Carolina University, Greenville, North Carolina, United States of America, 3 Department of Biological Sciences and Auburn University Museum of Natural History, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama, United States of America Abstract Background: The ancient and diverse, yet understudied arthropod class Diplopoda, the millipedes, has a muddled taxonomic history. Despite having a cosmopolitan distribution and a number of unique and interesting characteristics, the group has received relatively little attention; interest in millipede systematics is low compared to taxa of comparable diversity. The existing classification of the group comprises 16 orders. Past attempts to reconstruct millipede phylogenies have suffered from a paucity of characters and included too few taxa to confidently resolve relationships and make formal nomenclatural changes. Herein, we reconstruct an ordinal-level phylogeny for the class Diplopoda using the largest character set ever assembled for the group. Methods: Transcriptomic sequences were obtained from exemplar taxa representing much of the diversity of millipede orders using second-generation (i.e., next-generation or high-throughput) sequencing. These data were subject to rigorous orthology selection and phylogenetic dataset optimization and then used to reconstruct phylogenies employing Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood optimality criteria. Ancestral reconstructions of sperm transfer appendage development (gonopods), presence of lateral defense secretion pores (ozopores), and presence of spinnerets were considered.

The reserve sits within the Brigalow Belt bioregion, which is one of the most extensive, fertile and well- watered areas in Northern Australia. The vast majority of this bioregion has been cleared of vegetation for agriculture. This former cattle station has been a Bush Heritage property since 2001 and encompasses a valley flanked by mountains. Past grazing has impacted the vegetation of the valleys and plains but not the rugged hills. The reserve protects a wide range of habitats and at least 10 threatened species. The lowland woodlands and bluegrass downs that cover much of the valley floor are important additions to the rugged ranges protected in neighbouring Carnarvon National Park.
