title: Vocal activity of the Eastern Ground Parrot (<i>Pezoporus wallicus wallicus</i>) and implications for acoustic monitoring efforts

description: Vocalisations are a key component of communication for species that employ crypsis. The Eastern Ground Parrot (<i>Pezoporus wallicus wallicus</i>) is one such species that lives within dense heathland habitats in eastern Australia. Passive acoustic monitoring is now a common method used for avian monitoring and conservation programmes. For implementation of this method to be successful, we require a minimum level of understanding of the environmental and behavioural factors that may influence vocal activity. We tested how Eastern Ground Parrot call rate and chorus duration fluctuated across key temporal, environmental and meteorological variations over one year using passive acoustic monitoring from one site. Season, moon phase and days since rainfall predicted vocal activity of the birds at this site. Our results demonstrate the importance of considering the behavioural response of species to environmental conditions to account for potential bias in the interpretation of passive acoustic monitoring data.

title: Wildfire smoke reduces Little Eagle (<i>Hieraaetus morphnoides</i>) flight activity

description: There have been few empirical studies of the sensitivity of birds to the effect of air pollutants. In late 2019 and early 2020 the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and much of south-eastern Australia were affected by extreme wildfire events and smoke extended to surrounding areas. Prior to this event, GPS transmitters had been fitted to a sample of Little Eagles <i>Hieraaetus morphnoides</i> in the ACT as part of a study of their movement behaviour. Three of these birds carried transmitters in the breeding season during the fires and in the previous breeding season. This offered opportunistic analysis of data from both periods to test for effects of smoke on the birds’ flight behaviour. The effects of particulate matter in the air of ≤2.5 microns in diameter (PM<sub>2.5</sub>) and covariates on flight status were investigated with a binomial generalised linear model with logistic link. The birds were more likely to fly when there were low levels of PM<sub>2.5</sub> and the odds of flying decreased as density of PM<sub>2.5</sub> increased at a rate of 0.202% per ug/m<sup>3</sup>. None of the sample birds died during or after smoke exposure, although their respiratory system might have been affected.

title: A fragile future for pink birds: habitat suitability models predict a high impact of climate change on the future distribution of flamingos

description: Climate change is one of the most impactful global phenomena, affecting multiple ecosystems, particularly wetlands and water bodies, as well as important species that depend on these areas. Flamingos are unique and distinctive species that live exclusively in these environments and are highly impacted by any changes in their breeding or non-breeding wetlands. To address and measure the direct impact that future climatic changes could have on the distribution of the six extant species of flamingos, I used citizen science data and climatic variables to construct habitat suitability models. These models were used to predict the future gain or loss of climatic suitability areas in the short, medium, and long term, under four different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways and eight Global Circulation Models. The results predicted that five out of the six species of flamingos will experience continued loss of habitat over the next few decades in all scenarios. Dramatic changes in distribution are expected for all species. The data also indicate a higher impact of climate change on more habitat restrictive species and on wetlands along the borders of their distributions. Finally, the research highlights the importance of combined efforts from public communities, scientists, and policymakers to create mitigation and conservation plans that could avoid the intensification of climate change effects on wetlands and prevent the future reduction of flamingo populations.

title: Stochastic population models hindcast population trajectory and breeding history of an endangered parrot

description: Understanding the population dynamics of endangered species is crucial to their conservation. Stochastic population models can be used to explore factors involved in population change, contributing to the understanding of a species’ population dynamics. Norfolk Island Green Parrots <i>Cyanoramphus cookii</i> have undergone significant population fluctuations in the last 50 years. Since 2013, most nestlings hatched in managed, predator-proofed nest sites have been individually marked. These nests have been considered the primary source of population growth. Yet, in 2021, most adult birds were unmarked, raising the question of whether unmarked parrots have been entering the population through undetected breeding in natural nests, and to what extent. We modelled Green Parrot population growth between 2013 and 2021 using stochastic population models in VORTEX to explore the potential dynamics involved in the observed population growth. Basic models involving breeding only in managed nests produced population estimates between 158 and 266, whereas more complex models that included breeding in unmanaged nests, and accounted for the large proportion of unmarked birds, produced population estimates between 360 and 1,041. We conclude that natural nests may have played a significant role in the population growth since 2013. If this is the case, broad-scale predator control may be largely responsible. Furthermore, our study shows how population models may be used to infer underlying demographic processes and inform conservation strategies, even in instances of data scarcity. Our method can be applied to other threatened species, and may prove particularly useful for small populations whose population dynamics remain unclear.

title: Morphometric analysis confirms the presence of the Plains-wanderer (Aves: <i>Pedionomus torquatus</i>) in fossil deposits at Naracoorte Caves, South Australia

description: The Plains-wanderer (Pedionomidae: <i>Pedionomus torquatus</i>) is a species of Australian shorebird that exclusively inhabits open grasslands. The reported presence of this species in the fossil deposits of Naracoorte Caves suggests that it once inhabited a wooded environment. It was therefore important to assess whether the fossils are indeed conspecific with <i>P. torquatus</i> before inferences on the past palaeoecological preferences of the species are made. This study reassessed the identity of fossils identified as <i>P. torquatus</i> using both qualitative observations and morphometric analyses to test for proportional differences of fossil specimens which might indicate taxonomic distinction. Measurements were collected from fossils attributed to <i>Pedionomus</i> from Blanche Cave (45–15 ka) and Victoria Fossil Cave (&gt;400–220 ka), and compared with modern skeletal specimens through univariate and principal component analyses. Fossil elements were significantly larger than the modern specimens, although marked overlap was consistently observed, precluding unambiguous differentiation on size. No qualitative traits distinguishing the two groups could be identified. The Naracoorte fossil <i>Pedionomus</i> are therefore considered to represent a population of <i>P. torquatus</i>, wherein birds were slightly larger than extant ones. The Naracoorte deposits sampled a forest and woodland-dominated environment over the last 400,000 years, one which would be deemed unsuitable for modern Plains-wanderers, indicating that <i>P. torquatus</i> may have formerly occupied a much broader range of habitats than its present distribution suggests. It is inferred that the Plains-wanderer underwent a marked contraction in occupied habitat during the Holocene.

title: Assessing the effectiveness of rehabilitation for management of an endangered seabird, the Yellow-eyed Penguin

description: Rehabilitation of wildlife can be a meaningful conservation technique if rehabilitated animals contribute to the breeding population. Endangered Yellow-eyed Penguins (<i>Megadyptes antipodes</i>) are declining on South Island, New Zealand, where modelling published in 2017 predicted their extirpation by 2043. Four management plans dating back to 1989 have been implemented in attempts to mitigate threats. The first three plans overlooked rehabilitation whereas the most recent, published in 2020, regarded rehabilitation as essential to save the South Island population. We assess the outcome of four decades of management of Yellow-eyed Penguins at Moeraki, southeast South Island, by Penguin Rescue, a volunteer conservation organisation. Here, nest numbers have fluctuated but overall increased at a long-term annual average of 5%. Their proportion of the southeast South Island total rose from 1% (six of about 453 nests) in 1982 to 26% (43 of about 166 nests) in 2021. Since 1986 our management has included rehabilitation of all juvenile or adult Yellow-eyed Penguins we encountered locally with life-threatening injuries, emaciation or sickness, with 590 of these marked before release from our rehabilitation facility. We accounted for the effect of rehabilitation on nest numbers by subtracting the number of rehabilitated female breeders and their female descendants from the total number of female breeders. Without rehabilitation nest numbers at Moeraki in 2021 probably would have remained similar to the initial six nests in 1982 instead of the seven-fold increase through four decades. We conclude that rehabilitation is an effective management technique for this species.
