title: Fragment area and habitat quality underlie temporal decline and community changes in rainforest birds within long-isolated fragments

description: This dataset supports the article, "Fragment area and habitat quality underlie temporal decline and community changes in rainforest birds within long-isolated fragments" by A. Surendra and T. R. S. Raman
description: Forest fragmentation and associated forest loss reduce bird diversity in the short term, but long-term consequences of fragmentation on birds are less commonly documented. To address this, we examine changes in bird communities over 19 years across 19 long-isolated (80+ y) rainforest fragments that differ in habitat quality and area (0.7 – 4134 ha) in India’s Southern Western Ghats. We test whether the density, species richness, and compositional similarity of rainforest, range-restricted, and open-country (matrix-associated) birds were (1) stable over time, (2) increased with fragment area, and (3) increased with habitat quality, either singly or in combination. In individual-predictor models, rainforest birds and range-restricted birds (together, ‘forest birds’) showed 19% – 30% declines in density and 16% – 17% decline in abundance-corrected (rarefied) richness over time, despite a 15% increase in the overall (Chao) richness of rainforest birds over the same period. Bird community structure was positively associated with fragment area and rainforest habitat quality among forest birds, while open-country birds showed a converse negative trend. Larger fragments had more stable communities of forest but not open-country birds. Combined models indicated that temporal declines in bird density and species richness were mediated by changing habitat quality and buffered by fragment area, and not associated with time per se. Results from our study of old fragments add to growing evidence of avian declines worldwide. However, our findings along with threshold indicator taxa analyses indicate that habitat quality and fragment area above fairly low thresholds (18 – 55 ha) can support stable communities of forest birds and mitigate the ingress of open-country birds.

title: Crofton weed biocontrol

description: Ageratina adenophora
Crofton weed

Crofton weed is a rapid-spreading weed that is invasive in many areas along the eastern coast of Australia, particularly cleared land that is not grazed (such as public reserves). Crofton weed reduces the carrying capacity of grazing land and restricts movement of stock and machinery. It is unpalatable to cattle, and poisonous to horses. Biological control is believed to be the only viable option to reduce dense infestations of Crofton weed, particularly in areas of mainland Australia and Lord Howe Island that are difficult to access. Three biocontrol agents have been released to control Crofton weed:

1. Crofton weed rust fungus *Baeodromus eupatorii*
2. Crofton weed leaf-spot fungus *Passalora ageratinae*
3. Crofton weed gall fly *Procecidochares utilis*


The combined effects of these three biocontrol agents are expected to reduce the growth and spread of the weed in Australia. The most recent agent, the rust fungus, was released in 2015 and 2016 at close to 250 sites in NSW and south-east Queensland. The rust fungus was confirmed as established at 59% of these sites within 6-12 months after releases. To enhance natural spread, community members may consider redistributing the rust fungus to sites where it is absent. Step-by-step guides (see the Resources tab) are available to facilitate releases of the rust fungus and to monitor release sites for establishment and impact of the rust. Once established in an area, rust spores are easily redistributed by wind to nearby Crofton weed infestations, facilitating the spread of this agent.

title: Weed Population Genetics

description: Weed invasion significantly threatens Australia's natural ecosystems and farming production. In order to reduce impacts of invasive weeds on Australia's natural assets, it is important to understand their origins, pathways of arrival and patterns of spread across the continent. It is very difficult to track weed invasion in real time, especially for species that have been resident in the invaded range for many decades or hundreds of years. Novel genetic techniques are emergening as powerful tools in understanding invasion pathways by examining genetic relatedness amongst weed populations in both the introduced and native ranges. Genetic tools may also reveal the ways in which weeds spread, for example whether or not they sexually reproduce seeds or spread clonally via stem or root fragments.
