NERP TE Project 11.2 Improved approaches for detection of disease and prevention of spread in Torres Strait (JCU)

This project focuses on improving methods to detect the introduction of exotic animal diseases into the Torres Strait. The researchers will examine the environmental factors that influence the establishment and persistence of wildlife diseases in the region. They will study insect disease vectors and the incidence of disease in birds in a range of habitats in order to identify where disease risk is greatest. Field studies will be conducted using replicated mosquito trapping and mist netting of birds in Torres Strait, at sites identified from previous projects.  
Outcomes include:

1. Developing a model of disease dynamics across the Torres Strait based on past and ongoing epidemiology and ecological studies on vectors, reservoir hosts and known disease prevalence including the influence of inter-island and PNG traffic on insect vectors.

2. Undertake a fieldwork program that tests and improves upon our understanding (the model) of how diseases are maintained and dispersed across the islands.

3. Use the results to identify appropriate responses for minimizing the risks associated with disease incursion.

4. Develop capacity in north Queensland in the identification and sampling of vectors and diseases

NERP TE Project 10.2 Socio-economic systems and reef resilience (JCU)

This project focuses on relationships between socio-economic systems and the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). It comprises three interrelated activities to investigate:

1. Resident and tourist views about the relative ¿value¿ of key ecosystem services that are provided by the reef. Researchers will design, distribute and analyse the results of a survey instrument to assess the relative value of different goods and services produced by the GBR to stakeholder groups using both traditional money-based valuation techniques and Larson¿s non-monetary based technique. 

2. Tourist views about the relative value of key attributes of reef health, and the likely consequence if reef health deteriorates such as fewer visits and less expenditure. 

3. Researchers will develop  proxies for rainfall, water quality, land use and economy at the catchment scale. Analyses of these data will be used to determine the extent to which variations in beef prices, the exchange rate and other socio-economic variables (in conjunction with biophysical variables) influence water quality in the GBR lagoon.

Neighbour-stranger relations in the fiddler crab Uca capricornis

A unique relationship exists between neighbouring males and females in the fiddler crab Uca capricornis. This experiment was designed to demonstrate how a male fiddler crab responds to different individuals tethered near to his burrow. The response of a male crab to the neighbour and a stranger (with similar physical characteristics) was observed. The trial ended when the focal male touched the tethered individual (approach), or after 5 minutes passed with no approach (ignore). The order of the two trials (neighbour or stranger) was random. 80 experiments were conducted in total, 20 of each of the following combinations: i) male -- neighbouring male, ii) male -- strange male, iii) male -- neighbouring female, iv) male -- strange female. 

The results indicate that males treat female neighbours differently to male neighbours and intruders (of either sex). They were less likely to approach a female neighbour than an unknown female tethered in the same spot. They were equally likely to approach an unknown female, a neighbouring male and an unknown male.

Natural male-female interactions and territoriality in the fiddler crab Uca capricornis

The behaviour of U. capricornis is not well-known. Consequently, observations were made for approximately 1100 hours over 4 seasons to obtain a general picture of their social system and behaviour. The study was conducted on a large population of Uca capricornis in the vicinity of the mangrove boardwalk in the East Point Reserve, Darwin. Fieldwork was conducted yearly from November-January, 2002-2006. 

To obtain a more detailed description of the relationship between males and females, the natural interactions between males and females living as nearest neighbours were recorded. Twenty-one pairs were filmed from overhead for a period of 30 minutes. Any activity was noted, as was any interactions with intruders. 

Territoriality was also examined, providing the overall area covered by the crabs within the half hour. By aligning the male and female territories with their respective burrows it was possible to determine the area overlap between them.

Natural Attenuation of Nitrogen in Groundwater Discharging through a Sandy Beach

Changes in horizontal nitrogen (N) concentrations in predischarge groundwater were sampled in a profile of nutrient contaminated groundwater in a shallow sandy beach next to Cockburn Sound, W.A. from November 2004 to August 2005.

The degree of mixing and transport in the groundwater, and how this affected groundwater N concentrations, and whether these effects varied with changing seasons were measured.

Natural areas of Australia - 100 metre

Natural areas were identified by combining the National Vegetation Information System Version 4.1 data, and the National Carbon Accounting Forest Cover Version 8 data (after removing areas of plantation forestry).  

Plantation forestry areas were removed using three ABARES datasets 'Australia's plantations 2011', the 'Forests of Australia 2008' and the November 2012 version of the 'Catchment Scale Land Use Mapping For Australia'.

Without information on the relative condition of Australia's natural areas, it has only been possible to identify areas into either one of two classes, those that are presumed to be relatively natural, and those that have been highly modified.

National Passenger Travel, by transport mode

This table shows passenger kilometres for modes of transport including passenger cars, buses, rail, air, and other. Bus and rail passenger kilometres values are trend estimates - subject to later revision when final data becomes available. 
BITRE modelling uses data from a range of sources to provide a consistent time series of Australian passenger travel (PKM).  Vehicles not classified to passenger cars, buses, rail or air are included in ‘other transport mode’ (Table T 3.1). The other transport mode represents primarily non–freight use of light commercial vehicles (with contributions from motorcycles, non–business use of trucks and ferries).

National Intertidal/Subtidal Benthic NISB Habitat Map

The NISB Habitat Map was created by the University of Tasmania for a partnership between the Department of Climate Change and the National Land and Water Resources Audit. It supports the DCC/Audit partnership by providing a nationally consistent set of the available mapping data for those habitats that occur between the approximate position of the highest astronomical tide mark (HAT) and the location of the outer limit of the photic benthic zone (approximately at the 50-70 m depth contour). This area is broadly equivalent to the 'inner' and 'mid-shelf' regions identified by Geoscience Australia. The resulting map data set forms a core component of the ECM National Habitat Map Series. The habitat classes include: coral reef, rock dominated habitat, sediment dominated habitat, mangroves, saltmarsh, seagrass, macroalgae and filter feeders (e.g. sponges), as defined in the NISB Habitat Classification Scheme. The scheme is designed to support the development of marine 'ecoregions' or bioregional subregions. Details of the scheme and the process of its development are available in National Intertidal/Subtidal Benthic (NISB) Habitat Classification Scheme Version 1 (Mount, Bricher and Newton, 2007). The NISB Habitat Map consists of two layers for each state. _NISB.shp consists of the entire available habitat mapping at a resolution finer than 1:50 000 (with a few exceptions, outlined in the data quality section below). _NISB_PLUS.shp consists of all the data in _NISB.shp along with coarser resolution data, including NVIS and OzEstuaries data. These layers were used to produce the National ECM Key Habitat Distribution Map Series 10 km and 50 km tile maps.Restricted
