specimen of the species; and
 (B) a written statement, signed by a person who is a taxonomist and has relevant expertise, that the person thinks the species is a new species;
 (d) the species' known or estimated current and past distribution, including a map, if available;
 (e) the following information about the population of the species:
 (i) the number of mature individuals;
 (ii) whether there are smaller populations of the species within the total population and, if so, the degree of geographic separation between the smaller populations within the total population;
 (iii) any biological, geographic, human‑induced or other barriers enforcing separation;
 (iv) whether the population trend is increasing or decreasing, or whether the population is static;
 (v) estimated generation length, and the method used to estimate the generation length;
 (f) the habitat requirements for the species;
 (g) information about the species' life cycle, including:
 (i) age at sexual maturity; and
 (ii) life expectancy; and
 (iii) natural mortality rates;
 (h) for fauna:
 (i) feeding behaviour and food preferences; and
 (ii) daily and seasonal movement patterns;
 (i) for flora—pollination and seed dispersal mechanisms.
 (2) The nomination must also include the following:
 (a) a description of past, current and future threats to the survival of the species, including:
 (i) whether the threats are actual or potential; and
 (ii) how and where the species is affected by the threats; and
 (iii) how the threats are being, or could be, abated;
 (b) a statement setting out:
 (i) the category in subsection 178(1) of the Act under which the nominee considers the species should be listed; and
 (ii) the reasons why the species should be listed under that category, by reference to the criteria in regulation 7.01.
 (3) However, if information required for subregulation (1) or (2) is not available because of a lack of scientific data or analysis, those subregulations are satisfied if the nomination includes:
 (a) the information that is available; and
 (b) a statement identifying the data or analysis that is not available.
 (4) For sub‑subparagraph (1)(c)(ii)(B), a person has relevant expertise if the person has worked with, or is a published author on, the class of species nominated.

 (c) a description of the key components of the ecological community including:
 (i) biological components; and
 (ii) non‑biological components; and
 (iii) the key interactions and functional processes;
 (d) a description of the characteristic features that distinguish the ecological community from other ecological communities;
 (e) information about each key species in the ecological community;
 (f)
