Hi All,
This forum may be of interest to some people on Birding-aus. It will feature
talks on migratory waders and birds of the Cumberland Plain, as well as
long-term studies of other animal groups. You don’t need to be a member of the
Royal Zoological Society of NSW to attend. Hope to see some of you there.
Kind regards,
Stephen

The critical value of long-term field studies and datasets
Long-term biological data sets are a critical resource for understanding
change, for example, long-term field studies are essential for understanding
the ecological processes that govern the sizes of populations and the structure
of communities. Initial data from these studies allow us to establish
reference conditions from which future changes (e.g. effects of climate change,
habitat changes) can be detected. Over the long-term, the data help define the
limits of natural variation; identify extralimital variations in faunal
responses and their causes; where necessary, help identify the need for active
environmental management; and help with both monitoring and interpreting the
effectiveness of these actions. Equally important are the datasets from these
studies which are crucial sources of information for present and future
generations of researchers, environmental managers and policy-makers. Yet the
current political and economic climates in Australia favour the allocation of
research and environmental management funds to short-term projects.
The RZS NSW Forum will present the findings of some long-term studies,
particularly field ecological studies from Australia. These will range from
terrestrial to marine studies, and encompassing arid through to forest
environments, intertidal through to ocean environments, and projects that are
run by universities, government agencies and community groups. The forum will
also discuss the current tools and repositories used to archive field data, and
how they assist other researchers and managers to discover and use the data.
The critical importance of such studies and datasets in helping us understand
and manage the natural environment will be discussed, and the need to ensure
that funding for long-term field studies will continue into the future will be
explored.
The RZS NSW will publish a theme edition of the Society’s journal Australian
Zoologist to capture the papers and posters from the forum, as well as the
plenary sessions during the day of the forum.
