Abstract:
Abstract We report the start of science operations of a meteor spectroscopic survey in the Nullarbor region, Western Australia. The observation program consists of well-proven observatories developed as part of the All-Sky Meteor Orbit System (AMOS) project. These comprise high-sensitivity all-sky imaging units, as well as spectroscopic instruments observing brighter meteors. They are co-located with Desert Fireball Network (DFN) instruments, which themselves provide high-resolution astrometry for fireballs. There are two goals for this program. One is to keep a constant watch on meteor activity by always having one AMOS sub-network in the dark. The second is to provide spectroscopic coverage for recovered meteorites by the DFN, establishing essential calibration points between meteoritic samples and fireball spectra.

Abstract:
Abstract. The distribution of phosphorous (P) in one modern and two Early Pliocene speleothems formed in low-lying, Christmas Island and the coastal Nullarbor caves wet settings in Australia is here investigated by microscopy and ultra-high resolution chemical mapping. Monitoring data in the modern setting suggest that co-precipitation of P with calcite occurs when the drip rate decreases, the aquifer is progressively drained and microbial mats possibly aid in the formation of concentrating phosphates. A bulk partition coefficient is proposed, which indicates that the P enrichment in the speleothem could be accounted for by inorganic processes. Our interpretation of the hydrological significance of P incorporation in wet, tropical speleothems is then used to interpret P peaks associated with micritic and stromatolithic layers in the two Early Pliocene stalagmites from the Nullarbor. From these observations it is speculated that dry periods may have interrupted the wet climate regime at ca. 4 Myr ago, hinting at a possible early onset of the Pleistocene climate mode.

Abstract:
A new species of the genus Speleophria is described from a cave in the Nullarbor region in southern Western Australia. Its congeners include species from the Balearics, Croatia, Bermuda, Yucatan peninsula and north-western Western Australia, all considered to be Tethyan relicts. However, the discovery of the new speleophriid in the Nullarbor region has important biogeographic and ecological implications. From the biogeographic perspective, it either suggests dispersal as the process determining the current distribution pattern of the aquatic fauna found on the Roe Plains or significantly extends the Tethyan track across Australia, from the north-western coastal margin of the continent to the southern coastal margin. From an ecologic perspective, the new speleophriid suggests the possible existence of anchialine habitats in southern Australia. Speleophria nullarborensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from its four congeners by its plesiomorphic 3-segmented endopod of the first swimming leg (2-segmented in other species) and unusually long innermost apical seta on the caudal ramus. Another character that easily distinguishes our new species, and seems to be an autapomorphic feature, is its constricted preanal somite.

Abstract:
The heath mouse (Pseudomys shortridgei) is a locally rare species; it was considered extinct in Western Australia until its rediscovery 20 years ago. It is not often detected in faunal surveys and is confined to two ecologically distinct habitats on either side of the Australian continent. An important and immediate conservation question has been to determine the genetic diversity within each of its current habitats and to determine the differences between the geographically separate populations. Measures of genetic differentiation amongst P. shortridgei populations in their eastern (Victoria) and western (Western Australia) distribution were estimated using nuclear (microsatellite loci) and partial sequence of mitochondrial DNA (427 bp Cytochrome b gene and 637 bp of the D-loop). Both markers identified differences between the east- and west-coast populations. MtDNA data showed significant divergence between populations with monophyly within them, and nuclear loci investigated also showed two clear genetic clusters based on Bayesian inference. As a result of these findings, we suggest that the heath mouse comprises two highly divergent (but genetically diverse) lineages and the aridity of the Nullarbor Plain has clearly been a barrier for dispersal since the early Pleistocene (~1.43 million years ago). The populations either side of the Nullarbor Plain are genetically differentiated and should be defined as separate Evolutionary Significant Units (ESUs).

Full text
Abstract:
The seal potential of the Wilson Bluff and Nullarbor Limestone Formations was assessed over high-graded Pidinga Formation leads of the Duntroon Basin that contain significant hydrocarbon potential. The work quantified the risk associated with these plays. Regional geological knowledge was integrated with the results of special core analysis and petrography to address the 3 critical aspects of seal quality: seal capacity, seal geometry and seal integrity.This work established a clear relationship between seal potential and lithofacies, namely, the higher the clastic content, the better the seal potential. More specifically, in the vicinity of the Tertiary channel system and clastic axis, the seal risk for the Wilson Bluff Formation carbonates is considered to be relatively low, since it contains a significant argillaceous component. A maximum oil column of up to 650 m could be contained, with a more likely column of approximately 20–75 m. With increasing distance from the channel system, there is a decrease in argillaceous content and an associated increase in seal risk, the size of the oil column that could be contained varying from 2 m to 300 m, the more likely being 2–20 m. The Nullarbor Limestone is considered to be a relatively poor seal as a result of extensive development of secondary porosity during diagenesis. A maximum oil column of 160 m could be contained, the more likely column being approximately 5–30 m.

Abstract:
Background As the climate warms, many species of reptiles are at risk of habitat loss and ultimately extinction. Locations of suitable habitat in the past, present, and future were modeled for several lizard species using MaxEnt, incorporating climatic variables related to temperature and precipitation. In this study, we predict where there is currently suitable habitat for the genus Pogona and potential shifts in habitat suitability in the past and future. Methods Georeferenced occurrence records were obtained from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, climate variables (describing temperature and precipitation) were obtained from WorldClim, and a vegetation index was obtained from AVHRR satellite data. Matching climate variables were downloaded for three different past time periods (mid-Holocene, Last Glacial Maximum, and Last Interglacial) and two different future projections representative concentration pathways (RCPs 2.6 and 8.5). MaxEnt produced accuracy metrics, response curves, and probability surfaces. For each species, parameters were adjusted for the best possible output that was biologically informative. Results Model results predicted that in the past, there was little suitable habitat for P. henrylawsoni and P. microlepidota within the areas of their current range. Past areas of suitable habitat for P. barbata were predicted to be similar to the current prediction. Pogona minor and P. nullarbor were predicted to have had a more expansive range of suitable habitat in the past, which has reduced over time. P. vitticeps was predicted to have less suitable habitat in the past when examining the region of their known occurrence; however, there was predicted growth in suitable habitat in Western Australia. Both 2070 models predict a similar distribution of habitat; however, the model produced using the 2070 RCP 8.5 climate change projection showed a larger change, both in areas of suitable habitat gain and loss. In the future, P. henrylawsoni and P. microlepidota might gain suitable habitat, while the other four species could possibly suffer habitat loss. Discussion Based on the model results, P. henrylawsoni and P. microlepidota had minimal areas of suitable habitat during the Last Glacial Maximum, possibly due to changes in tolerance or data/model limitations, especially since genetic analyses for these species suggest a much earlier emergence. The predicted late Quaternary habitat results for all species of Pogona are conservative and should be compared to the fossil record which is not possible at the moment due to the current inability to identify fossil Pogona to the species level. P. nullarbor and P. vitticeps future models predict substantial habitat loss. P. nullarbor could potentially be considered vulnerable in the present since it already has a restricted range, and a conservation plan may need to be considered.

All of these species belong to a triforked Abantiades Herrich-Schäffer clade that is loosely centred around the Nullarbor and other arid regions of Australia. We explore DNA barcodes (mtDNA COI gene) from these and other Abantiades and discuss their significance for species recognition. The species distributions are entirely or largely allopatric and we discuss their origins from a widespread common ancestor that was likely distributed over inland and coastal regions in the mid- to late-Mesozoic before the onset of desertification. Notes on new distributional data for all of the known species in this clade are included.

Abstract Koonalda Cave is located on the Nullarbor Plain of South Australia and is one of 17 deep karst caves in this region. In 2014, the cave was listed as a National Heritage Place in recognition of its significant archaeological and cultural heritage features. It In order to understand the antiquity of and complex human activity in this site a range of dating methods have been applied including typologic, radiometric and luminescence. Each has been challenged and the chronology of this highly significant site has relied on contextual data from other sites. This paper presents an overview of the archaeology recorded at Koonalda Cave, the issues in dating sites in deep karst systems and emphasises the urgent need to resolve these issues so that a reliable chronology can be presented for Koonalda Cave.

Abstract:
Fossil pollen from two stalagmites is examined to reconstruct a c. 2400-year history of vegetation change on the Nullarbor Plain. Environmental changes are reflected by variation in chenopod species abundance, and by a peak in woody taxa between 1000 and 800 years ago which is interpreted as evidence of increased moisture conditions associated with a positive phase of the Southern Annular Mode. While no strong palynological signal is observed at the time of European colonization of Australia, a significant change occurs in the past 40 years, which is interpreted as a vegetation response to a recorded fire event. As speleothems (secondary cave carbonates including stalagmites, stalactites and flowstones) rarely contain enough fossil pollen for analysis, the taphonomic biases of speleothem archives remain poorly understood. This study, as well as being a high-resolution record of environmental change, presents an opportunity to examine these taphonomic filters. The record is shown to be sensitive to episodic deposition of presumably insect-borne pollen, but overall appears to provide a faithful representation of local and regional vegetation change. There is a need for greater research into taphonomic processes, if speleothem palynology is to be developed as a viable alternative to lacustrine sediments in the investigation of past environmental change.

Abstract:
This research provides bihourly temperature and relative humidity data from ten measuring locations in eight caves from one of the largest contiguous arid karst areas in the world, the Nullarbor Plain in south Australia. The current data span the period from November 2019 to March 2021, and represent the first continuous published monitoring of the subterranean features in this area. The data were recorded using ten TGP-4500 Tinytag Plus 2 self-contained temperature (resolution ±0.01 °C or better with a reading range from −25 °C to +85 °C) and relative humidity (resolution ±3.0% or better with a reading range from 0% to 100%) data loggers and are available in the form of a spreadsheet. The text also describes reported (but only occasional) visits to the caves, so that the data for those particular days and/or hours can be treated as anthropogenically influenced. The data have great potential to provide insight into underground karst processes, air mass movements, hydrogeology, speleothems and (palaeo)climate, current climatic changes, and biology.

Abstract:
Recent surveys have shown that the desert mouse (Pseudomys desertor), which was once considered to be rare in South Australia, is relatively widespread throughout the north-west of the State. However, historical localities in the Flinders Ranges and Nullarbor Plain were not matched with contemporary records, suggesting a range contraction to the central desert regions. Habitat preferences were determined from 78 captures at 41 sites, which revealed that samphire, sedge and nitrebush habitats, along with spinifex grassland, were favoured. A high tolerance to high rabbit numbers, mining activity, moderate cattle grazing pressures and cohabitation with Mus domesticus was evident. Pseudomys desertor is sometimes diurnal, possibly as a result of the time-consuming and regular foraging requirements of its folivorous diet. High mortality rates, resulting from prolonged exposure to predators, and lack of complex deep burrow systems are offset by its high fecundity and ecological plasticity. We consider that P. desertor is secure in the north-western arid zone of South Australia.

Full text
Abstract:
Cercartetus concinnus Gould (Marsupialia: Burramyidae) has a spatially disjunct distribution, with a broad stretch of saltbush on the Nullarbor Plain forming an apparent barrier between the population: one in southern Western Australia, and another in south-eastern Australia, encompassing South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales. This disjunct distribution and slight differences in morphology between western and eastern populations have led to conjecture about the taxonomy of this species. This study assessed the taxonomic status of C. concinnus across southern Australia. Analyses using the mitochondrial (mtDNA) ND4 gene showed little phylogeographic structure throughout the wide range of C. concinnus in southern Australia; closely related haplotypes (~0.1% sequence divergence) had a wide distribution from Western Australia to South Australia, suggesting recent genetic connectivity. These data indicate that C. concinnus populations represent a single taxonomic unit (Evolutionarily Significant Unit) throughout the geographic range. Further research is required to assess the impact of recent population fragmentation and whether an erosion of genetic variation in isolated populations has occurred.
