Download or read book Where Song Began written by Tim Low and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative and entertaining exploration of Australia’s distinctive birds and their unheralded role in global evolution Renowned for its gallery of unusual mammals, Australia is also a land of extraordinary birds. But unlike the mammals, the birds of Australia flew beyond the continent’s boundaries and around the globe many millions of years ago. This eye-opening book tells the dynamic but little-known story of how Australia provided the world with songbirds and parrots, among other bird groups, why Australian birds wield surprising ecological power, how Australia became a major evolutionary center, and why scientific biases have hindered recognition of these discoveries. From violent, swooping magpies to tool-making cockatoos, Australia’s birds are strikingly different from birds of other lands—often more intelligent and aggressive, often larger and longer-lived. Tim Low, a renowned biologist with a rare storytelling gift, here presents the amazing evolutionary history of Australia’s birds. The story of the birds, it turns out, is inseparable from the story of the continent itself and also the people who inhabit it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forty-spotted pardalote (Pardalotus quadragintus) is an endangered songbird endemic to eastern Tasmania. These birds specialize on forests containing Eucalyptus viminalis (white gum tree) for foraging, and require tree cavities for nesting. They have experienced both historical range contraction following European settlement and recent population decline within existing habitat. Causes of this decline are uncertain. Ecological theory predicts that habitat specialists will be most vulnerable to habitat loss, rather than factors that disrupt the balance of fecundity and mortality. However, cavity-nesting birds tend to invest heavily in individual nest attempts, and as a result, may be vulnerable to competitors, predators, or parasites which attack the nest. To examine current threats to forty-spotted pardalotes, I conducted three seasons of fieldwork in southeastern Tasmania, monitoring the breeding biology of forty-spotted pardalotes and their generalist competitors, striated pardalotes (Pardalotus striatus). I also collected blood samples from forty-spotted pardalotes to examine their population structure and demographic history. A model presentation experiment and observations of nest takeovers revealed that striated pardalotes were the dominant competitor and usurped 10% of forty-spotted pardalote nests, whereas forty-spotted pardalotes never usurped striated pardalotes. However, the largest source of nest failure was a native ectoparasitic fly (Passeromyia longicornis) which killed 81% of nestlings. Encouragingly, I found that forty-spotted pardalotes occupied nest boxes, resulting in high breeding densities and similar nest success compared to natural cavities. Finally, I developed a dataset of 57,868 SNPs from 159 individual birds sampled throughout major populations in southeastern Tasmania. Despite its larger population size, Maria Island had the least genetic diversity of any population, and there was no evidence of migrants between it and the southern populations. There was little population differentiation and substantial gene flow between Bruny Island and the nearby mainland populations, as well as evidence of ancestry from an extirpated mainland population. This study shows that conservation of habitat specialists needs to include protection of habitat features such as tree cavities and the extent of E. viminalis forest, but also needs to address threats within existing habitat, such as nest parasites. My finding that a native fly parasite is the principal source of mortality forty-spotted pardalote nestlings adds to growing concern about the increasing impacts of avian ectoparasites on their hosts in island systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia’s nature is exceptional, wonderful and important. But much has been lost, and the ongoing existence of many species now hangs by a thread. Against a relentless tide of threats to our biodiversity, many Australians, and government and non-government agencies, have devoted themselves to the challenge of conserving and recovering plant and animal species that now need our help to survive. This dedication has been rewarded with some outstanding and inspiring successes: of extinctions averted, of populations increasing, of communities actively involved in recovery efforts. Recovering Australian Threatened Species showcases successful conservation stories and identifies approaches and implementation methods that have been most effective in recovering threatened species. These diverse accounts – dealing with threatened plants, invertebrates, fish, reptiles, birds and mammals – show that the conservation of threatened species is achievable: that it can be done and should be done. They collectively serve to inform, guide and inspire other conservation efforts. This is a book of hope and inspiration. It shows that with dedication, knowledge and support, we can retain and restore our marvellous natural heritage, and gift to our descendants a world that is as diverse, healthy and beautiful as that which we have inherited.
