FYI - re avian biogeography. Hope this helps. The first
record is a general text on Australia (which you may
know.) The rest (27 records) are periodical reference. If
you need any more information please let me know.
Kind regards,

6 tables 1 fig, refs. PY: 1998 AB: Sixteen mammal species
and 22 bird species whose distributions extended into
southwestern Australian forests before European settlement
have been listed as threatened at some time. Confident
assessment of the causes of conservation status is hampered
by poor base-line data, few studies of putative impacts and
a preponderance of circumstantial or anecdotal rather than
experimental evidence. Forestry practices were implicated in
the conservation status of only one mammal species and no
bird species. While these results suggest that forestry has
had minimal direct impact on the mammals and birds of the
forests, the conclusion should be treated cautiously because
of the poor data (A).

refs. PY: 1998 AB: There is little evidence in the
literature for past or current negative impacts of forestry
practices on the mammals and birds of the southwest forests
of Western Australia, although there are few relevant,
detailed studies. This paper reviews the literature relevant
to these issues and concludes that past forestry practices
are linked to the changed fire regimes implicated in the
decline of several species, indirectly connecting forestry
practices with an established cause of fauna decline, and
that there are plausible links between forestry and long
term causes of fauna decline that have not been investigated
thoroughly. However, these findings need not mean that a
native timber industry is incompatible with conservation in
the southwest forests. Research effort could be directed
towards determining the effectiveness of management
initiatives already in place to ameliorate forestry impacts,
while identifying actions successful elsewhere and setting
research priorities to enable their effective implementation
in the southwest (A).

Conference considers coasts and tidal wetlands of the
Australian monsoon region. Mostly presents the results of
research undertaken or in progress. Looks at the following
themes: (i) geology and geomorphology, (ii) hydrology and
water chemistry, (iii) vegetation ecology, (iv) animal
ecology, and (v) exploitation and management. Emphasis is
placed on the geomorphology, stratigraphy and water/
chemistry of the Alligator Rivers area. Mangrove vegetation
ecology is covered in detail, including aspects such as
distribution and grouping, cyclone effects, life strategies,
variability in detrital production, and pollen analysis.
Discussion of animal ecology involves matters such as
polychaetes, biogeography of littoral crabs, importance of
mangroves/ coastal wetlands to commercial fisheries and
magpie goose biology. Exploitation and management aspects
dealt with are: Aboriginal knowledge and use, aquaculture
potential, managing reserves for fisheries purposes and
economic evaluation of environmental resources.

1984 AB: Abstract only published. Forty-three lakes in the
vicinity of the Australian Antarctic Base, Casey Station,
were sampled during the summer season in January 1983. Lakes
on the Antarctic mainland, and nearby peninsulas and
islands, were visited to determine their water quality. The
purpose of the work was also to find out whether any
relationship existed between water chemistry and the local
geology, since around Casey a variety of geological
formations occur, all consisting of Precambrian metamorphic
rocks. The effects on water quality by penguin rookeries and
by man activity in the vicinity of some of the lakes is
documented, and suggestions for future preservation of the
aquatic environment near the Station are presented (A).
