An understanding of risks to biodiversity is needed for planning action slow current rates decline and secure ecosystem services future human use. Although the IUCN Red List criteria provide an effective assessment protocol species, a standard global higher levels currently limited. In 2008, initiated development risk support ecosystems. We present new conceptual model founded on synthesis relevant ecological theories. To model, we review key elements definition introduce concept collapse,...
This paper discusses, from a philosophical perspective, the reasons for considering power of any statistical test used in environmental biomonitoring. Power is inversely related to probability making Type II error (i.e. low indicates high error). In context monitoring, made when it concluded that no impact has occurred even though one has. errors have been ignored relative I (the mistake concluding there an not occurred), rates which are stipulated by values test. contrast, depends on value...
The state of global freshwater ecosystems is increasingly parlous with water resource development degrading high-conservation wetlands. Rehabilitation challenging because necessary increases in environmental flows have concomitant social impacts, complicated many rivers flow between jurisdictions or countries. Australia’s Murray–Darling Basin a large river basin such problems encapsulated the crisis its Ramsar-listed terminal wetland, Coorong, Lower Lakes and Murray Mouth. Prolonged drought...
Abstract Benthic macroinvertebrates were sampled from four sites on upland streams in the Wentworth Falls area of Blue Mountains, NSW. One site received effluent a sewage treatment plant and others reference sites. Five replicate collections taken each occasions at intervals 3 months. Macroinvertebrate community data analysed using univariate (ANOVA) multivariate (NMDS) techniques comparisons made between analyses different levels taxonomic aggregation methods transformation. Similar...
One of the most frequently debated theories in conservation biology is whether a Single Large area will preserve more species than Several Small areas same total (the SLOSS debate). We tested this theory marine environment by comparing diversity and abundance fish macroinvertebrates associated with small large seagrass beds. In natural beds, several beds had significantly single bed. This occurred because proportion were not shared among However, results experiments using artificial to...

Summary 1. Indicators are crucial to many socio‐political schemes for portraying environmental influences of society. For example, the OECD model State Environment Reporting uses three different sorts indicators (pressure, condition, response) differentiate present condition environment from anthropogenic pressures upon it and any societal responses made alleviate those (thereby improving aspects overall condition). 2. These have a fundamental technical basis in science supporting their...
Three short-term experiments (6 mo to 1 yr) were done in a preliminary attempt determine the importance of predation by muncid whelk Morula rnarginalba Blainville rocky intertidal communities New South Wales (Australia).In 2 experiments, whelks manually removed from some sites, leaving control sites undisturbed.In third experiment, crevices filled with concrete, thus removing shelters needed and therefore reducing density predators.The predators shown affect structure community on each...
Abstract Field observations on rocky shores in New South Wales suggested a link between pools or wet crevices, predatory whelks foraging from them, and areas around the crevices that were mostly bare of prey (‘haloes’). Whelks most common but ventured out to feed. Previous work had shown excursions cyclical over time. The community also changed with distance types being more abundant further away. A field experiment showed this pattern be at least partly due crevice‐bound whelks....
Differences in species composition of urban bushland sites that had been subjected to increasing degradation and progressive invasion Pittosporum undulatum Vent. were assessed using nonparametric multivariate other statistical techniques. Increasing suburb age was found significantly affect community pattern as a whole, specifically through increased proportions exotic species, decreased native richness sustained shifts the relative importance individual species. Older suburbs typified by...
Benthic ecologists have studied the distribution of animal body sizes because it is a form ‘taxon-free’ classification that may be useful metric for describing variation within and between ecological communities. In particular, idea allometry physiological life-history traits control species composition relative abundances implies functional link body-size distributions The physical structure aquatic habitats has often been cited as mechanism by which habitat determine in However, further...
