ABSTRACT Context. The bourgeoning carbon economy is creating novel ways to incentivise conservation management activities that have the co-benefits of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and social inequality. Aims. To estimate the monetary value of carbon credits that landowners could generate by reducing ecologically destructive feral populations of the Asian water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) in northern Australia. Methods. First, we estimated buffalo enteric emissions based on the population structure of feral buffalo in northern Australia, and discounted the reduction of fire emissions due to the consumption of grassy fuel by feral buffalo. We then predicted the change in buffalo population size across the South Alligator River region of Kakadu National Park under four buffalo management scenarios: (1) no buffalo control; (2) low-intensity buffalo control; (3) moderate-intensity buffalo control; and (4) high-intensity buffalo control. We quantified the reduction of GHG emissions under the three buffalo control scenarios, relative to the scenario of no buffalo control, while discounting the GHG emissions that directly result from buffalo control actions (e.g. helicopter emissions). Key results. All three buffalo control scenarios substantially reduced the estimated GHG emissions that would otherwise have been produced. The low-intensity buffalo control scenario was predicted to abate 790 513 t CO2-e over the 20-year simulation, worth USD15 076 085 (or USD753 804 year−1). Our high-intensity buffalo control scenario had the greatest reduction in GHG emissions, with a total net abatement of 913 231 t CO2-e, worth USD17 176 437 (or USD858 822 year−1). Conclusions. The potential value of carbon credits generated by controlling feral buffalo populations in northern Australian savannas far exceeds the management costs. Implications. The management of feral ruminants could be incentivised by the generation of carbon credits. Such management could simultaneously avoid GHG emissions, generate income for landowners and offer significant ecological benefits.
蓬勃发展的碳经济正在创造新的方式来激励保护管理活动,这些活动具有减少温室气体(GHG)排放和社会不平等的共同利益。目的估计土地所有者通过减少澳大利亚北部亚洲水牛(Bubalus bubalis)的生态破坏性野生种群而产生的碳信用的货币价值。方法首先,根据澳大利亚北部野牛种群结构估算野牛肠道排放,并贴现野牛消耗草类燃料导致的火灾排放减少。在4种水牛管理情景下,对Kakadu国家公园南鳄鱼河地区水牛种群规模的变化进行了预测:(1)不控制水牛;(2)低强度控制水牛;(3)适度控制水牛;(4)高强度的水牛控制。我们量化了三种水牛控制情景下的温室气体排放量减少,相对于不控制水牛的情景,同时贴现了水牛控制行动直接导致的温室气体排放(如直升机排放)。所有三种水牛控制方案都大大减少了本应产生的温室气体排放量。低强度水牛控制情景预计在20年模拟期间减少790513tCO2-e,价值15076085美元(或753804美元)。我们的高强度水牛控制情景减少的温室气体排放量最大,净减排总量为913231tCO2-e,价值17176437美元(或858822美元)。结论控制澳大利亚北部草原野生水牛种群产生的碳信用的潜在价值远远超过管理成本。产生碳信用可以激励野生反刍动物的管理。这种管理可以同时避免温室气体排放,为土地所有者创造收入,并提供显著的生态效益。

ABSTRACT Context. Globally, an estimated 1.3% of the bird species have gone extinct over the past millennia, largely owing to habitat loss. Aims. This study investigated bird–habitat associations and assemblages in the Owabi Ramsar wetland. Methods. The study was conducted over 5 months (May–September 2019) in four habitat types (agricultural land, built-up, forest reserve, and open-water area). Data were collected in 84 plots across four habitats (i.e. built-up area = 25, forest reserve = 25, agricultural land = 25 and open-water area = 9 plots), using a point-count technique. The Gambin model, non-metric multidimensional scaling, Chao-1, and Hill numbers models were used to evaluate differences in bird diversity and composition among the habitat types. Key results. In all, 1260 individual birds, belonging to 81 species, were encountered. Many of the species occurred in the forest habitat (n = 46, 56.8%. Species from the agricultural land (n = 37) and built-up (n = 30) were mainly habitat generalists that used these two habitats as their shared feeding station. Bird–habitat specialisation grouping equally showed the forest specialists to be the highest (n = 23, 38.4%), whereas the open water had the least number of habitat specialisation associations (e.g. white-faced whistling duck, n = 20, 24.7%). Five species were widely distributed in all four habitats (e.g. bronze-mannikins and white-throated bee-eaters), indicating their broad habitat preferences and ability to adapt to varied conditions. The forest reserve tended to be the most diverse, which was likely mediated by factors such as nesting microhabitats, varied food availability, and human-led activities. Conclusions. This study highlighted bird dietary structure and associated habitat type and bird-habitat specialisation in four different land-use types at Owabi Ramsar wetland. Implications. Given the increasing level of disturbance, there is the likelihood that the population of forest-dependent and open water-dependent birds will be lost or will have to change or modify their behaviour to be similar to that of open-tolerant or open-country birds if managers of the Owabi Wildlife Sanctuary fail to implement the recommended management interventions highlighted.
抽象的上下文。在过去的一千年里,全球估计有1.3%的鸟类灭绝,主要是由于栖息地的丧失。目标研究了奥瓦比拉姆萨尔湿地鸟类与栖息地的关系和组合。方法。该研究在五个多月(2019年5月至9月)的时间里,在四种栖息地类型(农业用地、建成区、森林保护区和开放水域)进行。采用点计数技术,在4个生境(建成区= 25个,森林保护区= 25个,农田= 25个,开放水域= 9个)的84个样地收集数据。采用Gambin模型、非度量多维尺度模型、Chao-1模型和Hill数模型评价了不同生境类型间鸟类多样性和组成的差异。关键的结果。总共发现了81种1260只鸟。以森林生境居多(n = 46, 56.8%)。农业用地(n = 37)和建筑用地(n = 30)以生境通用型为主,将这两个生境作为共同的取食站。鸟类-栖息地专门化分组结果显示,森林专门化组合数量最多(n = 23, 38.4%),而开阔水域的栖息地专门化组合数量最少(如白面啸鸭,n = 20, 24.7%)。4种生境中有5种分布广泛(如青铜人兽和白喉蜂),表明它们对生境的偏好和适应能力广泛。森林保护区往往是最多样化的,这可能是由筑巢微栖息地、不同的食物供应和人类主导的活动等因素介导的。结论。本研究重点分析了奥瓦比拉姆萨尔湿地4种不同土地利用类型下鸟类的食性结构、栖息地类型和鸟类栖息地的专一性。的影响。考虑到干扰程度的增加,如果奥瓦比野生动物保护区的管理人员未能实施重点强调的建议管理干预措施,那么依赖森林和开放水域的鸟类种群可能会消失,或者不得不改变或修改它们的行为,使其与开放耐受或开放乡村鸟类相似。

ABSTRACT Invasive alien species are responsible for considerable biodiversity loss and environmental damage. Timely detection of new incursions is critical in preventing novel populations establishing. Citizen reports currently account for the majority of alien species detections, arising from the massive observation effort that the physical and digital ‘eyes and ears’ of citizens provide, in combination with crowd-sourced species identification. Because the reporting of alien species sightings is generally not mandatory, there is interest in whether mining social media data via image recognition and/or natural language processing can improve on existing passive citizen surveillance in a cost-effective manner. Here, we illustrate, using examples from Australia, how citizen surveillance for most vertebrate groups appears to currently be effective using existing voluntary reporting mechanisms. Where citizen surveillance is currently ineffective, for reasons of inadequate sampling, data mining of social media feeds will be similarly affected. We argue that mining citizens’ social media data for evidence of invasive alien species needs to demonstrate not only that it will be an improvement on the business as usual case, but also that any gains achieved cannot be achieved by alternative approaches. We highlight the potential role of education in increasing the surveillance effectiveness of citizens for detecting and reporting sightings of alien species. Should data mining of social media platforms be pursued, we note that the scale of the task in terms of the potential number of exotic vertebrate species to be classified is very large. The expected number of false positive classifications would present a considerable workload to process, possibly undermining the efficiency rationale for the use of data mining. Hence, prioritisation is needed, and we illustrate how the number of species to be classified can be reduced considerably. If we are to deploy data mining and analysis of social media data to help with detecting introductions of invasive alien species, we need to conduct it in a manner where it adds value and is trusted.

ABSTRACT Context. Risk assessments currently undertaken to approve pesticides for use against locusts in Australia are predominated by laboratory-generated data, often collected from non-endemic species. Very little information exists concerning the potential ecological effects of insecticides used for locust control. Aims. To determine the effect of aerial ultra-low volume (ULV) applications of the organophosphorous insecticide, fenitrothion (used for locust control), on avian assemblages in arid and semiarid agro-ecosystems. Methods. Avian abundance was surveyed in pesticide-exposed and unexposed locations during standard locust control operations, using fenitrothion, in western New South Wales and Queensland in the spring and summer of 1996, 1997 and 2000, using a transect-point method. Temporal changes in assemblages were analysed using multi-dimensional ordination (MDS) and permutational analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) with PRIMER (V7). Key results. Avian assemblages varied over time, independent of pesticide application, reflecting significant redistribution and mobility of birds across a highly disturbed agricultural landscape, irrespective of pesticide exposure. Additionally, pesticide exposure did not affect species abundance or diversity. Conclusions. There was no evidence that ultra-low volume (ULV) applications of fenitrothion, currently used in locust control, are impacting avian assemblages, despite previous research indicating that individual birds co-occurring with spray operations suffer suppressions in the enzymatic biomarker for OP exposure, plasma acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Implications. Although the risk to avian assemblages associated with the aerial application of locusticides is reduced by the small proportion of the landscape where locust control activities are focused, any change in spray application parameters would necessitate a re-evaluation of the risks associated with insecticide exposure.
抽象的上下文。目前在澳大利亚为批准用于防治蝗虫的农药而进行的风险评估主要采用实验室生成的数据,这些数据通常是从非地方性物种收集的。关于用于防治蝗虫的杀虫剂的潜在生态影响的资料很少。目标确定在干旱和半干旱农业生态系统中,空中超低量施用有机磷杀虫剂灭虫磷(用于防治蝗虫)对鸟类种群的影响。方法。在1996年、1997年和2000年的春夏,在新南威尔士州西部和昆士兰州的标准蝗虫防治行动期间,采用横截点法,在接触杀虫剂和未接触杀虫剂的地点调查了鸟类的丰度。利用PRIMER (V7)软件进行多维排序(MDS)和排列方差分析(PERMANOVA),分析组合的时间变化。关键的结果。鸟类的组合随着时间的推移而变化,与农药的使用无关,这反映了鸟类在高度受干扰的农业景观中的重新分布和流动性,而与农药暴露无关。此外,农药暴露不影响物种的丰度和多样性。结论。尽管先前的研究表明,与喷洒操作同时发生的个别鸟类的OP暴露酶生物标志物血浆乙酰胆碱酯酶(AChE)受到抑制,但没有证据表明目前用于蝗虫防治的超低体积(ULV)杀虫剂对鸟类种群有影响。的影响。虽然空中施用灭虫剂对鸟类种群的风险因防治蝗虫活动集中的一小部分景观而降低,但喷洒参数的任何变化都需要重新评估与接触杀虫剂有关的风险。

ABSTRACT Context. Wildlife viewing is a primary reason people visit parks and protected areas. However, high rates of visitation increase the potential for interactions between humans and wildlife. This close proximity of humans and wildlife can lead to habituation to human presence and pose a threat to both animals and humans. Aims. We describe human–mountain goat interactions in Cathedral Provincial Park (CPP), in British Columbia (BC), Canada, and examine management and mitigation strategies to reduce these interactions. Methods. This project was a collaboration with BC Parks. We used community-based participatory research methodologies, conducting interviews and surveys from July 2020 to November 2021 with park visitors, staff, and researchers. Key results. Most respondents encountered mountain goats in the park and understood the park’s messaging; however, not all respondents took the necessary steps to reduce encounters. We recommend further education efforts focused on formal staff training and improved infrastructure in the park. Conclusions. Our results can be used to inform management decisions related to human–wildlife interactions, primarily in parks and protected areas. On a proximate level, we suggest further educational efforts and improved infrastructure in the park to help overcome perceived lack of action by some participants. Ultimately, there is a need to incorporate human aspects of human–wildlife interactions into management decisions aimed at addressing potential and existing problems. Implications. Using a multitude of approaches to management, informed by biological, social, and cultural knowledge, can improve responses and mitigation strategies in human–wildlife interactions. Collaboration among different stakeholders allows for the exchange of ideas and innovations that can contribute to positive movement towards coexistence of humans and wildlife in parks and recreational areas.
