The Australian summer of 2019/20 was impacted by megafires of a magnitude and severity never previously recorded. Whilst low severity fire has positive benefits for increased insectivorous bat activity and diversity, little information is available on the impact on rainforest specialised clutter dependant species such as the Golden-tipped Bat Phoniscus papuensis. Our aims were to assess the effects of fire on occupancy of habitat across the geographic range of P. papuensis in NSW, to determine the smaller scale effects of fire on use of diurnal roosts in rainforest through radio tracking and to trial the use of artificial structures to temporarily increase roost availability in burnt habitat. We observed that widespread fire encroaching on rainforest has a negative association with occupancy by P. papuensis, with this metric ~78% lower than in unburnt forest. In burnt areas, P. papuensis preferentially used unburnt refugia for their roosting sites in suspended bird nests and the loss of these habitat structures likely contributes to the disappearance of P. papuensis from the landscape. Artificial roosts were not used in the short-term (< 2 years post fire) and do not appear to be a feasible management tool. With the increasing frequency and extent of wildfires the most important factor for P. papuensis to persist in the landscape into the future is the protection of its habitat through ensuring sensitive management of large tracts of connected rainforest to help buffer against the encroachment of future mega-fires.
澳大利亚2019/20年夏天受到了前所未有的规模和严重程度的特大火灾的影响。虽然低强度火灾对增加食虫蝙蝠的活动和多样性有积极的好处,但对热带雨林专门依赖杂波的物种(如金尖蝠)的影响的信息很少。我们的目的是评估火灾对新南威尔士州帕普ensis地理范围内栖息地占用的影响,通过无线电跟踪确定火灾对雨林中日间栖息地使用的较小规模影响,并尝试使用人工结构来暂时增加被烧毁栖息地的栖息地可用性。研究发现,大范围的火灾对热带雨林的侵蚀与巴布亚猿猴的占用率呈负相关,该指标比未燃烧的森林低约78%。在被烧毁的地区,帕普ensis优先选择未被烧毁的避难所作为其栖息地点,这些栖息地结构的丧失可能导致帕普ensis从景观中消失。在短期内(火灾后< 2年)没有使用人工栖息地,并且似乎不是一种可行的管理工具。随着野火发生的频率和范围的增加,巴布亚猿猴在未来持续生存的最重要因素是通过确保对大片相连雨林的敏感管理来保护其栖息地,以帮助缓冲未来特大火灾的入侵。

The 2019/20 wildfire season was devastating for Australia’s biodiversity and unprecedented in its extent and severity, yet the consequences for sites important for biodiversity and other world heritage values remain unknown. Here, we summarise the 2019/20 wildfire impacts on key sites set aside for, or identified as being important for, biodiversity, with specific reference to nationally designated protected areas, World Heritage Listings, and Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs). We also explore patterns between burn extent or severity, and underlying landscape characteristics. Over seven months, approximately 10 million hectares (ha) of native vegetation burned. Of these burned landscapes, ~3.2 million ha (41%) were within the Australian protected area estate (n = 815 and impacted >0.1% of each protected area). Six Australian World Heritage Listings were impacted by the 2019/20 wildfires, with the largest impact being in the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area (680,000 ha or 67% was affected by the fires). The 2019/20 fires impacted over 2 million ha across 69 KBAs. Of these, 18 KBAs had >15% of their area burned. Critically, for the management of intact and recovering forests, we show that the degree of forest integrity and ecosystem intactness affected fire severity: more degraded forests and ecosystems experienced higher severity burns in the protected area estate and KBAs. Recovery for many of these places will require targeted effort and resources to help reduce the likelihood of future megafires, as well as increased resilience in the face of other catastrophic environmental events.
2019/20年的野火季节对澳大利亚的生物多样性是毁灭性的,其程度和严重程度是前所未有的,但对生物多样性和其他世界遗产价值重要的遗址的后果仍然未知。在这里,我们总结了2019/20年野火对为生物多样性预留或被确定为对生物多样性重要的关键地点的影响,具体参考了国家指定的保护区、世界遗产名录和关键生物多样性区(KBA)。我们还探索了烧伤程度或严重程度与潜在景观特征之间的模式。在七个多月的时间里,大约1000万公顷的原生植被被烧毁。在这些被烧毁的景观中,约320万公顷(41%)位于澳大利亚保护区内(n=815,影响了每个保护区的0.1%以上)。2019/20年的野火影响了六个澳大利亚世界遗产名录,其中影响最大的是大蓝山世界遗产区(68万公顷,即67%受到火灾影响)。2019/20年的火灾影响了69个KBA的200多万公顷土地。其中,18个KBA的面积超过15%。至关重要的是,对于完整和恢复的森林的管理,我们表明,森林完整性和生态系统完整性的程度影响了火灾的严重程度:在保护区和KBA中,更多退化的森林和生态系统经历了更严重的烧伤。其中许多地方的恢复需要有针对性的努力和资源,以帮助降低未来发生特大火灾的可能性,并在面对其他灾难性环境事件时提高抵御能力。

Native to Nemesis: a cultural and environmental history of the Noisy Miner 1788 - 2019 原产克星:1788 - 2019年嘈杂矿工的文化和环境历史

1878: “…gallant little birds” (Wagga Wagga Advertiser) 1915: “… the carol of the magpie is eclipsed by the song of the miner” (Emu) 2004: “…the mafia of the bird world” (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) 2015: “I hate those f***in things” (RedditAustralia) Through the 19th Century and the first half of the 20th Century, notwithstanding its role as an agricultural pest, the Noisy Miner Manorina melanocephala was considered with affection by colonial society. The species’ reputation has been severely damaged in recent decades, however, on account of its violent tendencies towards smaller woodland birds, including many of conservation concern. Aggressive exclusion of small woodland birds from potential woodland habitat by Noisy Miners was declared a Key Threatening Process under federal conservation legislation in 2014. Given that Noisy Miners, other woodland birds, and the post-ice age woodland environment have been co-evolving for at least 10 000 years, how did the natural competitive behaviour of Noisy Miners become an ecological problem? In this paper I review historical references to Noisy Miners and current research on the ecology of the species to construct a trajectory of change. Culturally, these changes include a shift in attitudes to the species from agricultural pest and popular native bird to a vilified, “overabundant” native species and nemesis of small woodland birds. Ecologically, changes have included an expansion in distribution and abundance of Noisy Miners. This has led to an increase in scale of the effects of Noisy Miner aggression on small woodland birds. The historical record contains many references to Noisy Miner aggression against other species, the first appearing within four years of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. Evidence that such aggression could affect the abundance and distribution of small woodland birds, however, appears only in the period after World War II. The changing ecological role of Noisy Miners, and the associated changes in cultural attitude to the species, appear linked to the loss, fragmentation and degradation of native woodland in eastern Australia since the introduction of European agriculture and urbanization. In particular, the change in ecological role of the Noisy Miner appears to be linked to the accelerated rates of deforestation in the post-war period. Such broadscale habitat modification has both benefitted Noisy Miners and exacerbated declines in woodland-dependent small birds.
1878年:“……勇敢的小鸟”(Wagga-Wagga Advertiser)1915年:“喜鹊的颂歌被矿工的歌声所掩盖”(Emu)2004年:“..鸟类世界的黑手党”(澳大利亚广播公司)2015年:“我讨厌事物中的那些f***”(RedditAustralia)贯穿19世纪和20世纪上半叶,尽管它是一种农业害虫,黑色素沉着的矿工Manorina黑色素沉着症受到殖民社会的爱戴。然而,近几十年来,由于该物种对较小林地鸟类的暴力倾向,包括许多保护问题,其声誉受到了严重损害。2014年,根据联邦保护立法,Noisy Miners将小型林地鸟类积极排除在潜在的林地栖息地之外被宣布为关键威胁程序。考虑到噪音矿工、其他林地鸟类和后冰河时代的林地环境已经共同进化了至少10000年,噪音矿工的自然竞争行为是如何成为一个生态问题的?在这篇论文中,我回顾了对Noisy Miners的历史参考和目前对该物种生态学的研究,以构建一个变化的轨迹。从文化上讲,这些变化包括人们对该物种的态度从农业害虫和受欢迎的本土鸟类转变为被诋毁、“数量过多”的本土物种和小型林地鸟类的克星。从生态学上讲,变化包括噪音矿工的分布和丰度的扩大。这导致噪音矿工攻击小型林地鸟类的影响规模增加。历史记录中有许多关于Noisy Miner对其他物种的侵略,第一次出现在1788年第一舰队抵达后的四年内。然而,只有在第二次世界大战后,才有证据表明这种侵略可能影响小型林地鸟类的数量和分布。自欧洲农业和城市化引入以来,Noisy Miners不断变化的生态角色,以及对该物种文化态度的相关变化,似乎与澳大利亚东部原生林地的丧失、破碎和退化有关。特别是,喧闹矿工生态作用的变化似乎与战后森林砍伐速度的加快有关。这种大规模的栖息地改造既让喧闹的矿工受益,也加剧了依赖林地的小鸟数量的减少。

The management of a Grey-headed Flying-fox Pteropus poliocephalus camp in Berry, New South Wales, is a case study of the challenges faced by local councils and state environment agencies trying to address flying-fox impacts on residential communities. This camp is located wholly within residential lots and was first reported to Shoalhaven City Council in June 2019. Council and the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) collaborated on engagement with residents to encourage community involvement and cohesion in the development of a management approach. This included sharing information on effectiveness of management actions at other camps, including dispersal attempts, to encourage residents to think more broadly about management options that would meet their needs. Conflicts between residents occurred due to different perspectives on the impact of the flying-foxes and when some residents repeatedly used noise to disturb flying-foxes, causing knock-on effects for other residents. Council and DPIE responded both indirectly through conversations and directly through issuing directives to cease harassment of flying-foxes. Council implemented a subsidy program to assist residents with options including high-pressure water cleaners and swimming pool covers. A vegetation management action plan was developed in collaboration with residents and implemented, with contractors selectively removing and lopping vegetation to increase distance between roosting flying-foxes and dwellings. Overall, resident surveys returned mostly positive satisfaction ratings of the management response. This case study highlights the unique challenges of managing flying-fox camps occurring wholly within residential properties, including defining responsibilities between stakeholders and establishing a cohesive management approach between affected residents. An additional challenge was presented during extreme heat events, which resulted in flying-fox carcasses amassing in backyards. Nevertheless, the case study demonstrated how important it is to engage the community in the development of management options, leveraging stakeholder support for decisions and establishing a shared understanding that all stakeholders are responsible for management outcomes.
新南威尔士州贝里市灰头飞狐翼龙脊髓灰质炎营地的管理是一个案例研究,旨在解决地方议会和州环境机构在解决飞狐对居民社区的影响方面所面临的挑战。该营地完全位于住宅区内,于2019年6月首次向绍尔黑文市议会报告。议会和规划、工业和环境部(DPIE)在与居民的接触方面进行了合作,以鼓励社区参与和凝聚力,制定管理方法。这包括分享其他营地管理行动的有效性信息,包括疏散尝试,以鼓励居民更广泛地思考满足他们需求的管理方案。居民之间的冲突是由于对飞狐影响的不同看法,以及一些居民反复使用噪音干扰飞狐,对其他居民造成连锁反应。委员会和DPIE通过对话间接回应,并直接发布指令停止骚扰飞狐。该委员会实施了一项补贴计划,以帮助居民选择高压净水器和游泳池盖。与居民合作制定并实施了植被管理行动计划,承包商有选择地移除和修剪植被,以增加栖息的飞狐与住所之间的距离。总体而言,居民调查对管理层的回应大多给予了正面的满意度评价。本案例研究强调了管理完全发生在住宅物业内的飞狐营地的独特挑战,包括界定利益相关者之间的责任,以及在受影响的居民之间建立一种连贯的管理方法。在极端高温事件中,出现了另一个挑战,导致飞狐尸体堆积在后院。尽管如此,案例研究表明,让社区参与制定管理方案,利用利益相关者对决策的支持,并建立一种共同的理解,即所有利益相关者都对管理结果负责,这是多么重要。

A call to scale up biodiversity monitoring from idiosyncratic, small-scale programmes to coordinated, comprehensive and continuous monitoring across large scales 呼吁将生物多样性监测从特殊的小规模方案扩大到协调、全面和持续的大规模监测

Conservation managers cannot manage what they don’t know about, yet our existing biodiversity monitoring is idiosyncratic and small in scale. One of Australia’s commitments to the Convention for Biological Diversity in 2015 was the creation of a national biodiversity monitoring programme. This has not yet occurred despite the urgent need to monitor common and threatened species, as highlighted by the challenges of determining the biodiversity impacts of the Black Summer fires of 2019/20. In light of improvements to automation, miniaturisation and powering devices, the world urgently needs to scale-up biodiversity monitoring to become coordinated, comprehensive and continuous across large scales. We propose the BIOMON project that could achieve this where individual sensor nodes use machine learning models to identify biodiversity via sound or photos onboard. This could be coupled with abiotic data on temperature and humidity, plus factors such as bushfire smoke. Nodes would be set within networks that transmit the results back to a central cloud repository where robust analyses are conducted and provided free to the public (along with the raw data). Network arrays could be set up across entire continents to measure the change in biodiversity. No one has achieved this yet, and significant challenges remain associated with training the algorithms, low power cellular network coverage, sensor power versus memory trade-offs, and sensor network placement. Much work is still needed to achieve these goals; however we are living in the 21st Century and such lofty goals cannot be achieved unless we start working towards them.
保护管理者无法管理他们不知道的东西,但我们现有的生物多样性监测是特殊的,规模很小。2015年,澳大利亚对《生物多样性公约》的承诺之一是制定国家生物多样性监测方案。尽管迫切需要监测常见物种和受威胁物种,但这一情况尚未发生,2019/20年黑夏大火对生物多样性影响的确定挑战突显了这一点。鉴于自动化、小型化和设备供电的改进,世界迫切需要扩大生物多样性监测,使其在大范围内协调、全面和连续。我们提出了可以实现这一目标的BIOMON项目,其中单个传感器节点使用机器学习模型通过船上的声音或照片来识别生物多样性。这可能与温度和湿度的非生物数据相结合,再加上丛林大火烟雾等因素。节点将设置在网络中,将结果传输回中央云存储库,在那里进行稳健的分析并免费向公众提供(以及原始数据)。可以在整个大陆建立网络阵列,以测量生物多样性的变化。目前还没有人做到这一点,在训练算法、低功耗蜂窝网络覆盖、传感器功率与内存的权衡以及传感器网络布局方面仍然存在重大挑战。要实现这些目标,还需要做大量工作;然而,我们生活在21世纪,除非我们开始努力实现这些崇高目标,否则这些目标是不可能实现的。

Much work is still needed to achieve these goals; however we are living in the 21st Century and such lofty goals cannot be achieved unless we start working towards them.","PeriodicalId":35849,"journal":{"name":"Australian Zoologist","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43601237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our understanding of the biology and ecology of many Australian marine snakes is inadequate to inform the conservation and management of their populations. Czeblukov’s true sea snake Hydrophis czeblukovi (Elapidae:Hydrophiinae) is an example of this, with an IUCN classification of “Data Deficient”. It is a wholly marine, ovoviviparous snake that is distinguishable by its dark colouration and unique pale banding forming dark pentagons on its dorsal surface and flanks. A recent biological survey in Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia found a recently dead H. czeblukovi specimen. This extends the species geographical range by approximately 300 kilometres southwest (minimum seaward distance). The stranding likely arose from the persistent onshore winds observed prior to the discovery or from self-stranding due to illness. This discovery brings the total number of marine snake species recorded from Exmouth Gulf to 11 out of ~24 known to occur in WA waters, which highlights the importance of this location for marine snake conservation. Here we compile the scarce knowledge for this data deficient species. We discuss the conservation implications of our findings in context of the dense industrial activity across the range of H. czeblukovi. We indicate the need for further research to inform conservation and management actions.
我们对许多澳大利亚海蛇的生物学和生态学的了解不足以为其种群的保护和管理提供信息。Czeblokov的真海蛇Hydrophis czeblukovi(Elapidae:Hydrophiinae)就是一个例子,国际自然保护联盟将其分类为“数据不足”。它是一种完全海洋的卵胎生蛇,其深色和独特的浅色条纹可区分,在背表面和侧面形成深色五边形。最近在西澳大利亚埃克斯茅斯湾进行的一项生物调查发现了一个最近死亡的切布卢科维标本。这将物种的地理范围向西南延伸了约300公里(最小向海距离)。搁浅可能是由于在发现之前观察到的持续的陆上风,或者是由于疾病导致的自我搁浅。这一发现使埃克斯茅斯湾记录的海蛇物种总数达到11种,其中已知在西澳水域出现的约24种,这突出了该地点对海蛇保护的重要性。在这里,我们为这个缺乏数据的物种汇编了稀缺的知识。我们讨论了我们的发现对H.czeblukovi范围内密集工业活动的保护意义。我们表示需要进一步研究,为保护和管理行动提供信息。
