Norfolk Island, situated between Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia, has a rich, narrowly endemic land snail fauna, which has suffered considerably from habitat loss and introduced predators. Eleven species (Stylommatophora, Microcystidae) are currently listed by the IUCN and/or Australia’s EPBC Act 1999 as Endangered, Critically Endangered or Extinct. Based on targeted surveys undertaken since 2020, we re-assess the threat status of these taxa. For three species assessed to be at imminent risk of extinction, we report on the implementation of in-situ and ex-situ conservation actions and assess their effectiveness after a three-year period. We document current distributions and abundances of these species and describe experimental conservation methods, such as increased predator control, the erection of predator-proof exclosures, and the establishment of an ex-situ breeding population. We found that the relative abundance of one subspecies, Advena campbellii campbellii, was strongly correlated with monthly rainfalls. Trials of predator-proof exclosures that retain adults but allow juveniles to disperse indicated that snails can be successfully secured from predation. Increased efforts in predator control led to the killing of more rodents and chickens; however, the impact on the snail population is unclear. The ex-situ breeding population had high birth rates initially followed by high adult mortality. Adjustments in husbandry conditions reduced stress levels leading to sustainable birth rates and increased survivorship with the result of rapid population growth. We determined that the ovoviviparous A. campbellii campbellii matures at the age of 3–4 months and has a lifespan of 10–12 months in captivity. We conclude that focused predation studies are needed to determine the impact of introduced predators. The use of exclosures requires further refinement especially regarding feeding schedules. In-situ breeding requires significant time for establishment but can be implemented successfully. We assess three endemic species as Extinct, four as Critically Endangered and two as Vulnerable.

This data collection contains all currently published nucleotide (DNA/RNA) and protein sequences from Australian Passiflora aurantia, commonly known as Norfolk Island Passionfruit. Other information about this group:

The nucleotide (DNA/RNA) and protein sequences have been sourced through the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) and Universal Protein Resource (UniProt), databases that contains comprehensive sets of nucleotide (DNA/RNA) and protein sequences from all organisms that have been published by the International Research Community.

The identification of species in Passiflora aurantia as Australian dwelling organisms has been achieved by accessing the Australian Plant Census (APC) or Australian Faunal Directory (AFD) through the Atlas of Living Australia.

This collection provides a complete list of convict names and sufficient biographical data to enable unambiguous identification of convicts who were disembarked from convict ship "Arab (2)" at Van Diemen's Land on 1834-06-30

This includes, where known, an estimation of the year of birth, place of birth, where and when convicted, the sentence, the date of arrival in the colony and the convict's age on arrival. The brief convict biographical data provided in this collection serves as an index into the far more extensive set of life course events which are recorded in the prosopgraphy database built by the Founders and Survivors project.

Basic details for this ship: * ship name (as known in VDL records): Arab (2) * sailed date : 1834-02-26 from P'smouth * arrival date : 1834-06-30 * population (per Bateson's The Convict Ships): Embarked:230 Men ; Deaths:2 Men ; Landed:228(VDL) Men

Data for convicts listed in this collection comes from the source which has been determined by Founders and Survivors to form the "base population" for this ship. Further information as to the methodology and the linkage of multiple sources is detailed in the narrative format of the collection. The matching and linkage of additional sources about Tasmanian convict's is the subject of ongoing research. This collection may be repuplished regularly, and in additional formats and with specific user interfaces, to enable public participation in the quality of convict matching and linkage -- see for example the EXPERIMENTAL linkage.htm format for this collection. Linkage for ships arriving at Norfolk Island and Port Philip is incomplete.

This ship's prosopography index is published in a directory named "362.16" (the ship's project id). Three three different file formats provided: -- (default; suitable for web browsing) HTML: world wide web hypertext markup language format which provides a "narrative" view of the collection (index.htm); and -- (structured prosopgraphy: persons and events) XML / TEIp5 : Text Encoding Initiative (version p5) XML format which provides the underlying XML database for this collection (index.xml); and -- Not yet available simple list of convict names in a flat file, tab delimited, suitable for Excel, Stata, SPSS or database usage (index.tab).
