Abstract:
Toxoplasma gondii is a cosmopolitan protozoan parasite of felids that also has significant implications for the health of wildlife, livestock and humans worldwide. In Australia, feral, stray and domestic cats (Felis catus) are the most important definitive host of T. gondii as they are the only species that can excrete the environmentally resistant oocysts that provide a major source of infection for mammals and birds. In Tasmania, the rapid decline of the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) may allow an increase in feral cat abundance, thereby increasing the risk of T. gondii infection to a range of susceptible wildlife species. At present, there is scant information on the prevalence of T. gondii infection in feral cat populations across Tasmania. We tested feral cats from 13 regions across Tasmania for the presence of T. gondii–specific IgG antibodies using a modified agglutination test. Results were combined with serosurveys from three previous studies to enable a comparison of seroprevalence among 14 regions across Tasmania. We found that 84.2% (224 of 266) of cats tested positive for T. gondii IgG antibodies. This is among the highest rates of prevalence recorded from Australia, and significantly higher than for most other countries. Adult cats had higher seroprevalence than kittens but there was no difference between sexes. In Tasmania, seroprevalence was high in 12 of 14 regions (range: 79.3–100.0%), with only two regions (Tasman Island and Southern Tasmania) recording significantly lower seroprevalence (≤50%). This suggests a high risk of infection across Tasmania, and has significant implications for wildlife conservation should feral cat abundance increase with the ongoing declines in Tasmanian devils.

Full text
Abstract:
The endemic Tasmanian mountain shrimps of the genus Anaspides Thomson, 1894 (Anaspidacea) have attracted considerable scientific interest as potential basal eumalacostracans and as 'living fossils', closely resembling their Triassic forbears (Coineau & Camacho 2013). Two species are currently recognised, with A. tasmaniae (Thomson, 1893) (type locality: Mount Wellington) accorded a wide range throughout most of central, western and southern Tasmania, and A. spinulae Williams, 1965, believed restricted to central Tasmania from Lake St. Clair (type locality) and immediate environs (O’Brien 1990). Despite the current taxonomy, heterogeneity in A. tasmaniae has been increasingly suggested, which may have important conservation management implications (e.g., Jarman & Elliot 2000). Jarman & Elliott (2000) recognised three potential clades (based on mitochondrial 16S sequences) that may correspond to separate species. A taxonomic and phylogenetic revision of the genus, now in progress, found A. tasmaniae to be restricted to the vicinity of Mount Wellington, and all Anaspides from other localities to represent other species. Owing to delays in the completion of the revision, however, some of the new species of Anaspides are briefly diagnosed below in order to make the formal species names available for other studies now underway. Full accounts of the species of Anaspides will be given when the revision of the genus is completed.

Full text
Abstract:
In Tasmania, a considerable proportion of the forested landscape is available for land clearance and production forestry, which has and will continue to result in a decline in hollow availability unless managed appropriately. All hollow-using species are listed as having priority status under the Tasmanian Regional Forest Agreement. To ensure the habitat for hollow-using fauna is managed effectively, we first have to understand the requirements of the species involved. This paper is a review of the distribution, hollow requirements and conservation status of the five species of arboreal marsupials, eight species of bats and 29 bird species that use hollows in Tasmania. The number of species that use hollows is lower than in many other areas of Australia, but these species represent a large proportion of the vertebrate fauna of Tasmania. Three of these species and nine subspecies are endemic to Tasmania and seven are exotic. Four bird species are listed as Threatened at the state and/or national level. Twenty-five of Tasmania’s hollow-using species are capable of using small hollows, 14 can use medium-sized hollows and three bird species are limited to using large hollows. Current records indicate that the highest diversity of hollow-using species is associated with dry forest areas.

Abstract:
Species of the genus Anaspides, known as mountain shrimps, are endemic to Tasmania and inhabit a variety of freshwater habitats such as mountain tarns, pools, creeks and runnels, as well as caves. Until 2015 only two species of Tasmanian mountain shrimps were recognized, A. tasmaniae (Thomson, 1893), which was believed to be widespread all over the island and A. spinulae from Lake St. Clair. Revision of the genus by Ahyong in 2016 recognized 7 species, most having narrow geographic distributions. Only two widespread species remained: A. richardsoni, occurring mainly on the Central Plateau and its margins, and A. swaini, occurring largely in south-western Tasmania. Notably, within A. swaini, three geographically correlated morphological forms were observed. We re-evaluated all three forms of A. swaini and herein describe one of the forms as a new species, A. driesseni, on the basis of morphological and molecular data. Anaspides driesseni corresponds to A. swaini form 3 and occurs mainly in south-eastern Tasmania from the Hartz Mountains over the Snowy Mountains to the Wellington Range. Telson structure, spination and male secondary sexual characters proved taxonomically instrumental.

Abstract:
The paper examines the fall of marital fertility in Tasmania, the second settled Australian colony, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The paper investigates when marital fertility fell, whether the fall was mainly due to stopping or spacing behaviours, and why it fell at this time. The database used for the research was created by reconstituting the birth histories of couples marrying in Tasmania in 1860, 1870, 1880 and 1890, using digitised 19th century Tasmanian vital registration data plus many other sources. Despite Tasmania’s location on the other side of the world, the fertility decline had remarkable similarities with the historical fertility decline in continental Western Europe, England and other English-speaking countries. Fertility started to decline in the late 1880s and the fertility decline became well established during the 1890s. The fall in fertility in late 19th century Tasmania was primarily due to the practice of stopping behaviour in the 1880 and 1890 cohorts, although birth spacing was also used as a strategy by the 1890 cohort. The findings provide support for some of the prominent theories of fertility transition.

"A rethink on Retropinna: conservation implications of new taxa and significant genetic sub-structure in Australian smelts (Pisces:Retropinnidae)." Marine and Freshwater Research 58, no. 4 (2007): 327. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/mf05258.

Full text
Abstract:
The smelt genus Retropinna nominally includes three small (<150 mm) freshwater fish species endemic to south-eastern Australia and New Zealand. For the two Australian species, the broad range of R. semoni (Weber) on the mainland suggests some vulnerability to isolation and genetic divergence, whereas the apparent confinement of R. tasmanica McCulloch to Tasmania is curious if, as suspected, it is anadromous. Analyses of Australian material using allozyme electrophoresis show five genetically distinct species with contiguous ranges and no evidence of genetic exchange. Three occur along the eastern seaboard (including three instances of sympatry), another in coastal and inland south-eastern Australia and Tasmania, and a fifth species in the Lake Eyre Basin. There is no indication of a simple ‘tasmanica’ v. ‘semoni’ dichotomy, but instead a complex pattern involving discrete clusters for the Upper Murray plus Darling rivers, Lower Murray, Glenelg River and Tasmanian regions, with coastal western Victorian samples having varying affinity to these groups. The overall pattern is one of deep divergences among species and strong genetic sub-structuring within and provides a strong argument for extended studies to prepare for appropriate conservation measures.

Full text
Abstract:
The Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area encompasses an area of 1.38 million hectares, or approximately 20% of the island state of Tasmania. The World Heritage Area plays a significant role in the conservation of Tasmania's fauna and natural biological processes. The area supports 30 species of terrestrial mammal including three endemic species (91% of total Tasmanian species), 120 species of terrestrial bird including 10 endemic species (76% of state total), 14 species of terrestrial reptile including seven endemic species (67% of state total), seven species of frog including three endemic species (64% of state total), 16 species of freshwater fish including four endemic species (64% of state total), and 68 species of marine fish including one endemic species (14% of state total). A number of vertebrate species are entirely restricted to the World Heritage Area (Moss Froglet, Pedra Branca Skink, Mountain Skink, Pedder Galaxias, Swamp Galaxias and Western Paragalaxias, while the migratory Orange-bellied Parrot breeds only within the World Heritage Area. A number of other species have the majority of their Tasmanian range within the World Heritage Area (Broad-toothed Rat, Ground Parrot, Southern Emu-wren, Tasmanian Tree Frog, Northern Snow Skink, Southern Snow Skink, Bathurst Harbour Skate and the Clarence Galaxias). The World Heritage Area also supports a range of threatened mammal, bird, reptile and fish species. Of the 44 species of introduced vertebrates which have established feral populations in Tasmania, only seven species (16% of state total) have a significant presence within the World Heritage Area and pose a potential threat to the area's integrity. The diversity and endemism of the vertebrate fauna of the World Heritage Area reflects the Gondwanan origins of much of the fauna of western Tasmania, the repeated glaciation of the area during the Pleistocene, and subsequent pulses of speciation among certain taxa.

Full text
Abstract:
The restricted distribution of viviparous onychophorans in Tasmania has long been a subject of discussion, but their evolutionary history remains unclear. We applied morphological, molecular and karyological methods to assess the taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of the four viviparous species reported from Tasmania, including Tasmanipatus barretti, T. anophthalmus and two undescribed species previously referred to as ‘Tasmania’ sp. 1 and sp. 2. We demonstrate that all four species can be unambiguously distinguished based on independent character sets. The two ‘Tasmania’ species, which were previously thought to be cryptic, proved to exhibit a set of distinct morphological characters. Molecular phylogenetic analyses revealed that the four species belong to a major clade that includes Peripatoides from New Zealand, and that species from the two landmasses show reciprocal monophyly within this clade. Within the Tasmanian clade, T. anophthalmus is more closely related to the two ‘Tasmania’ species than to T. barretti. Based on this relationship and the lack of morphological and/or karyological characters supporting the Tasmanian viviparous clade, we erect two new genera to accommodate the two ‘Tasmania’ species (Diemenipatus, gen. nov.) and T. anophthalmus (Leucopatus, gen. nov.). An emended diagnosis followed by a redescription of T. barretti is provided and ‘Tasmania’ sp. 1 and sp. 2 are formally described as D. taiti, gen. et sp. nov. and D. mesibovi, gen. et sp. nov., respectively.

Abstract:
The Tasmanian Jazz Identity theme is used as the overarching framework for this research, which identifies unique factors in Tasmania’s jazz history compared with other Australian states. Identity, in its broad sense, is a product of geography and history. Australia has a continent-wide jazz regionalism and identity separate from the US; however, there is also much that is distinctive about Australia’s regional jazz scenes. Regional jazz scenes have not been extensively examined in the written histories of Australian jazz. Tasmania is one of the most unique as its isolation has resulted in differences from other jazz sites on Australia’s mainland. Therefore, Tasmania’s jazz scene needs to be understood in its own context; nowhere else in Australia are boundaries so formidable and fixed as Tasmania’s, with the Bass Strait and the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Despite its small population Tasmania has a high degree of autonomy. The individualism of Tasmania’s jazz scene and identities therein are linked to the broader Australian jazz style, but because of the conditions, geography and circumstances in which they evolved, Tasmania developed a distinct, localised, Australian jazz vernacular. The importance of this research is in bridging the gap in the existing literature on Australian jazz history by presenting a sequential, chronological account of Tasmania’s jazz scene from 1917 to 1989, and the musicians who created it. Accordingly, this research focuses on seminal musicians, bands, and identities who contributed to establishing and maintaining jazz activity in Tasmania. This is presented as detailed biographical accounts of individuals or ensembles and their principal contributions, together with a comprehensive investigation into the main musicians, bands, major events, locations, and organisations that developed the jazz scene. This primary research contributes to, and builds upon, the current knowledge and understanding of jazz developments in Australia. It moves beyond the standardised ideas of the Australian jazz identity, by focusing on the broader cultural landscape in order to better understand the role of jazz in the social history of Australia. It provides this information as a foundation for education and a better understanding of Australia’s rich jazz culture and presents a case for the acknowledgment of Tasmania’s important and unique contribution to Australian jazz.

Wilson, Rohan David. "The roving party & extinction discourse in the literature of Tasmania /." Connect to thesis, 2009. http://repository.unimelb.edu.au/10187/6811.

Full text
Abstract:
The nineteenth century discourse of extinction – a consensus of thought primarily based upon the assumption that ‘savage’ races would be displaced by the arrival of European civilisation – provided the intellectual foundation for policies which resulted in Aboriginal dispossession, internment, and death in Tasmania. For a long time, the Aboriginal Tasmanians were thought to have been annihilated. However, this claim is now understood to be fanciful. Aboriginality is no longer defined as a racial category but rather as an identity that has its basis in community. Nevertheless, extinction discourse continues to shape the features of modern literature about Tasmania. The first chapter of this dissertation will examine how extinction discourse was imagined in the nineteenth century and will trace the parallels that contemporary fiction about contact history shares with it. The novels examined include Doctor Wooreddy’s Prescription for Enduring the Ending of the World by Mudrooroo, The Savage Crows by Robert Drewe, Manganinnie by Beth Roberts, and Wanting by Richard Flanagan. The extinctionist elements in these novels include a tendency to euglogise about the ‘lost race’ and a reliance on the trope of the last man or woman. The second chapter of the dissertation will examine novels that attempt to construct a representation of Aboriginality without reference to extinction. These texts subvert and ironise extinction discourse as a way of breaking the discursive continuities with colonialism and establishing a more nuanced view of Aboriginal identity in a post-colonial context. Novels analysed here include Drift by Brian Castro, Elysium by Robert Edric, and English Passengers by Matthew Kneale.
However, in attempting to arrive at new understandings about Aboriginality, non-Aboriginal authors are hindered by the epistemological difficulties of knowing and representing the Other. In particular, they seem unable to extricate themselves from the binaries of colonialism.

Abstract:
Genetic improvement of Atlantic salmon in Tasmania by Anna Do Within the Tasmanian salmon industry, there remains potential for more efficient production of high quality Atlantic salmon. Fat can be stored throughout the body and, when stored excessively in the viscera, in the muscle, under the skin or in other fat depots, can contribute to production waste. The thesis aims to: (i) determine whether the deposition of fat in various depots are under genetic control and explore if these fat depots are genetically correlated with muscle fat and other production traits; (ii) investigate the use of non-invasive and less destructive methods for measuring muscle fat and compare their cost-effectiveness against a reference method; and (iii) explore the possibility of testing animals early (24 vs 30 months) to shorten the average generation interval. Fat was measured using a number of methods involving visible/near-infrared spectroscopy (VNIRS), a Distell Fish Fatmeter, image analysis and subjective scoring of visceral fat. Genetic parameters were estimated using residual maximum likelihood methods using animal models. Fat stored in various body depots were all heritable (h2 = 0.11 – 0.57) but had limited genetic correlations with each other. Less destructive and non-invasive measures of fat were moderately heritable (h2 = 0.36 – 0.56), with genetic correlations with the reference method ranging from 0.67 to 0.88 and the Distell meter found to be relatively cost-effective. Genetic correlations between biometric and flesh quality measures on fish of 24 and 30 months of age were moderately strong to perfect (rg = 0.65 – 1.00). The thesis shows that, by employing various strategies, Tasmanian Atlantic salmon can be produced more efficiently by lowering production waste, allowing recovery of product after performance testing and increasing the rate of genetic gain in economically-important traits.

Mo, Yimei. "Self-perception of the Chinese in Tasmania." Phd thesis, Canberra, ACT : The Australian National University, 1994. http://hdl.handle.net/1885/11017.

Full text
Abstract:
Despite worlds of literature on ethnic relations and overseas Chinese history, little has been systematically written about how the Chinese outside China see themselves in both the inter- and intra- ethnic contexts. This thesis seeks to remedy this omission by providing a combination of empirical research and theoretical analysis with its setting in Tasmania, an island state off the southern coast of mainland Australia. Sparsely dispersed amongst the Australians, the Tasmanian Chinese at present largely originated from five geographical areas: Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore, China, Tasmania and Laos. The thesis first stresses the heterogeneity in terms of their self-perception in both inter- and intra- ethnic contexts. Towards an understanding of this, the study provides an insight into how self-perception is shaped, from an interdisciplinary approach involving history, sociology, social psychology and psychological anthropology. Theoretical study and empirical research indicate two attributes are essential in the constitution of self-perception: the individual self's interaction with the other in the inter- and the intra-ethnic contexts; and all kinds of symbols which enable such interaction to make sense. The author accordingly proposes that self-perception consists of three components: the actual self (the person himself), the ideal self (the one he wants to become), and the denied self (the one he avoids to become); and that the standard of ideal self is the core of self-perception. With rich empirical evidence, the study supports the theory of psychological anthropologists that the self is closely related to the cultural pattern which an individual belongs to; and that the essential difference between different cultures lies in the relation between the self and the other. From this perspective, the shaping of selfperception of the Chinese in Tasmania is, in essence, the process in which a.n individual re-formulates his relation with the other in different contexts of ethnic interaction. This re-formulation of the relation between the self and the other takes the form of continuity and/ or change of the standard of ideal self. To those who directly immigrated from China, three sources of stimuli under which such continuity and change takes place are identified, i.e., China, Tasmania and media, and, to those who immigrated indirectly, one more source of stimuli is added, i.e., the transitional region such as Hong Kong, Malaysia and Laos. The study concludes that the heterogeneity of self-perception stems from the variation of the standard of ideal self throughout the phase of post-emigration from China. It differs with individuals at the outset of emigration from China; it undergoes continuity and change after emigration, under the three or four sources of stimuli. All kinds of individuals' daily activities, including the relation between the self and the other, education, race relation, religion and attachment to China, may contribute to this variation. The study also indicates the importance of regional backgrounds for providing similar stimuli to residents within them and the limited power of self-perception in influencing the individual's cognitive and behavioural activities.

Abstract:
This thesis reports on and analyses the first fifty years, 1887-1937, of the Sisters of Saint Joseph's ministry in Tasmania. The design of the study is qualitative in nature, employing ethnographic techniques with a thematic approach to the narrative. Through a multifaceted approach the main figures of the Josephite story of the first fifty years are examined. The thesis attempts to redress the imbalance of the representation of women in Australian history and the Catholic Church in particular. The thesis is that as a uniquely Australian congregation the Tasmanian Sisters of St Joseph were focused on the preservation of the original spirit and tradition articulated at their foundation rather than on the development of a unique Tasmanian identity. The thesis argues that it was the formative period that impacted on their future development and the emerging myths contributed to their search for identity. Isolated from their foundations through separation and misunderstanding, they sought security and authenticity through their conservation of the original Rule. The intervention of cofounder Father Tenison Woods in the early months of their foundation served to consolidate a distinctive loyalty to him to the exclusion of Mary MacKillop. Coupled with the influence of Woods were the Irish and intercolonial influences of significant Sisters from other foundations which militated against the emergence of a distinctive Tasmanian leadership. As a Diocesan Congregation the Tasmanian Josephites achieved status as authentic religious within Tasmania and yet were constrained by their Diocesan character. The study identifies the factors that contributed to their development as a teaching Congregation through the impact of the Teacher and Schools' Registration Act 1906, influence of government regulations on the Woods-MacKillop style of education, and the commitment of the Church to provide Catholic education in the remote areas of Tasmania.;The thesis identifies two major formative periods as occurring at the instigation of Archbishops Delany and Simonds at both the foundation and then more significantly after the consolidation phase at the end of the period under examination.

Full text
Abstract:
A series of experiments was conducted with the view of obtaining baseline information on the use of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on Tasmanian Oak for the purpose of improving the quality of the seasoned structural timber product. Tasmanian Oak is the marketing name for a triad of Tasmanian-grown eucalypt species (E. delegatensis, E. obliqua, and E. regnans). Incubation of freshly-milled timber in aqueous PEG solutions prior to seasoning follows on from investigations in northern hemispheric timber species such as hoop pine and spruce in the middle of the 20th Century. PEG penetrates freshly sawn Tasmanian Oak in a manner which is considerate of incubation time, temperature, PEG molecular weight/size and timber density. Histological examination indicated that PEG penetrated completely throughout the structure of the wood substance in three orientations (transverse, radial and tangential). During air-drying of PEG soaked timber, further migration of PEG into Tasmanian Oak is negligible. The rate of moisture content loss in Tasmanian Oak was shown to be retarded by PEG pre-treatment although the ability to prevent moisture loss was not concomitant with dimensional stability. An investigation to explain the change in rate of moisture loss examined effects on the thermodynamic property, water activity. Results indicated that a change in solution water activity could partly expain changes in the rate of moisture content loss, but more research is required to better divine this relationship. Shrinkage in Tasmanian Oak was reduced after treatment with aqueous PEG 400 solutions at or above 30% (v/v), with a greater percentage reduction in tangential shrinkage compared to reduction in radial shrinkage. This is significant as backsawn (a.k.a. flatsawn) timber, with its broader tangential face, was in particular focus. The reduction in shrinkage was consistent with PEG concentration in the incubating medium. A decrease in the formation of drying defect, such as surface and internal checking accompanied the improvement in keeping sawn dimensions. Backsawn Tasmanian Oak obtained from young trees (less than 20 years) from plantation resource presents a challenging profile for commercial timber drying and will become more prevalent as the logging of old-growth forests is phased out. Timber seasoners may be faced with options of longer drying times or lower yields due to drying defect unless a method can be developed to provide added protection to the sawn timber product during drying. At this stage, pre-treatment of Tasmanian Oak with PEG shows the hallmarks of providing a solution to this emerging dilemma.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the practices of botanical collectors in nineteenthcentury Van Diemen’s Land, their involvement in the Flora Tasmaniae and their contribution to broader scientific debates. When Joseph Hooker wrote his introductory essay on the Australian flora for Flora Tasmaniae in 1859, it was the first published case study supporting Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection. Much of Hooker’s evidence for his essay was based on plant material collected by self-trained resident naturalists of Van Diemen's Land, including Robert Lawrence, Ronald Gunn and William Archer. In recent years Darwin, Hooker and their contemporaries have been thoroughly examined, but as yet there has been little concentration upon the colonial collectors who contributed to their research. Instead of a centre-periphery study, this thesis provides a periphery-centre focus, exploring the role of the colonial naturalists, their contribution to the development of scientific knowledge, and the realities of operating as naturalists in the Antipodes. This thesis argues that resident colonial collectors in Van Diemen's Land made a significant contribution to botanical science during a time of taxonomic and classificatory flux. By using correspondence, journals, plant specimens and collecting notes this thesis examines one facet of a larger imperial movement. Analysis of these sources demonstrates the nuances of the colonial scientific experience, how knowledge was gained, how contacts and friendships were made and sustained, and what sort of work self-trained enthusiasts undertook. Numerous men and women contributed to a broad discussion on the native flora and fauna, including landed gentlemen, medical men, public servants and convicted criminals. As the Flora grew from their efforts, colonists questioned the source of power in the scientific world. This thesis discusses these changing tensions, and how those with a deeper local understanding balanced their colonial knowledge with the views of those in the metropole.

Abstract:
A unique slamming process is observed on high speed wave piercing catamarans (WPCs) such as those manufactured by INCAT Tasmania (shown in Fig. 1). For conventional catamarans, wet-deck slamming constitutes a significant design load and is managed through proper design of the tunnel height for the proposed operating conditions. While methods have been developed for prediction of wet-deck slam occurrence and slam magnitude in conventional catamarans (for example Ge et al., 2005) the significant differences in geometry limit application to wave piercing catamarans. Although slamming of wave piercing catamarans may be categorised as a wet-deck slam, the INCAT Tasmania wave piercing catamarans include a forward centre bow to prevent deck diving which significantly alters the water entry and slamming characteristics.
