Australasian Ornithological Conference – Darwin 2019 1

Welcome

Welcome to the tropics! We are so glad you are here to join us for the 10th Australasian Ornithological Conference. BirdLife Australia, in collaboration with Birds New Zealand, is committed to holding biennial conferences that provide a regular forum for the exchange of information and ideas between avian-based researchers and conservationists throughout the Australasian region. This is the first AOC held in the Top End – what better place than in Darwin where there is a rich diversity and abundance of birdlife. There is beautiful weather, many habitat types and birds everywhere around us. In the city and urban areas, you can spot Orange-footed Scrub-fowls building mounds in backyards, Brown Honeyeaters nesting in trees along pathways, and Rufous Owls hooting at you from their roost in the botanic gardens.

We are excited to host this AOC at Charles Darwin University and showcase the campus and the Larrakia land and sea on which we meet. We also hope to share with you some of the exciting research coming out of the Top End. We are sharing this experience with over 300 delegates from Australia, New Zealand, America, China, the Pacific region, Lithuania, England, South Africa and we welcome you all.

Our scientific program will be made up of plenary sessions, presentations, poster sessions, and for the first time in AOC history we are introducing the Stuart Leslie Bird Research Award Alumni presentation to highlight the ongoing support and assistance that the SLBRA provides for student researchers. Our program will have three concurrent sessions some of the time and we ask that people move between session theatres quickly. The program includes 10 symposia: waterbird movements, evolution of Australasian birds, seabird conservation, bird banding, woodland birds, bird data collection and analysis methods, new technologies and citizen science, Australasian raptor research, conservation success, disease in birds. We also have many exciting talks in the general sessions.

It’s a big week with workshops over the first two days and then straight into the social program with a market and movie night to welcome everybody to Darwin. We have the traditional AOC bird quiz scheduled and then the conference dinner at Crocosaurus Cove. We hope you enjoy the unique Darwin experiences we have organised for you.

Thank you to all delegates that are here joining us, sharing their research with us and to everyone for inspiring others and continuing to grow the ornithological community in Australasia.

Behavioural code and ethics

We welcome everyone to the Australasian Ornithological Conference, both in person and online on social media. We have organised the AOC to engender and promote a welcoming environment that is collaborative, supportive and engaging for everyone involved. We hope that it is a space where there are opportunities to share, develop and broaden viewpoints in a safe and inclusive environment.

We celebrate diversity in all its forms and expect that all our participants are respectful and considerate of each other, that they provide supportive critique, and embrace the multitude of opinions that are on offer.

If you have any concerns or feel that any participant of an event has breached this code, or have suggestions for how we can make our events more inclusive and productive, please contact any of the AOC volunteers, BirdLife Australia staff or Birds NZ staff.

During an event, please report any incident as soon as you feel able, to allow us to act upon your concerns. Any reports will be handled in confidence.

Your primary contacts for any issues that may arise during this conference are:Robin LeppittCatherine Young


Conference ethos and values

We have organised the AOC to reflect our values around sustainability and preserving the environment. We have endeavoured to reduce our carbon footprint by sourcing where possible local organic food and resources. We have tailored the catering menu to minimise red meat provided thereby reducing our supply for the product. Our caterer DeeBee Catering has customised the menu to suit a healthy lifestyle and the many dietary requirements https://deebeecatering.com.au/health-well-being/. We are using local organic fruit and vegetables from Organic AG https://www.organicdarwin.com.au/about.

We have engaged with a local primary school through our caterer that will take any excess food products and food waste to their chook yard. We will provide designated “chook bins” in the food and beverage area so please put all food scraps in these bins.

We are also using BioPak products for the catering and these items are made from plant material and are compostable.

The Malak Marketplace is also a plastic-free market and has positive sustainability practices as their core ethos https://www.malakmarketplace.org.au/market-darwin/sustainability-principles-at-malak-marketplace/ “Malak Marketplace holds sustainability principles at the core of its operations and has significantly committed its management practises and stallholders to eco-friendly and sustainable development.”

Since going plastic-free, the Malak Marketplace vendors use BioPak products. As Darwin does not yet have a commercial composter we are not able to commercially compost this waste. Instead, we opted for a local closed-loop solution. The BioPak product waste is being collected in compostable bags during the conference and taken away by local organic farming business Organic AG to be shredded and then composted within their farming system. Please help us with this process by scraping off any food waste and then disposing of the BioPak plate, serviette and compostable cutlery into the designated compost bins.

Plenary speakers

Dr Leo JosephDirector, Australian National Wildlife CollectionCSIRO National Research Collections Australia Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

Leo’s roots are in birdwatching but very early in his birdwatching career he began thinking about and was drawn into the world of evolution. So today he tries to be an evolutionary biologist and ornithologist working on the birds of Australia and New Guinea – the evolution of their diversity against the geological and environmental histories of the region and studying how present-day communities have been assembled. Like many in this area field, he is adamant that we cannot fully understand the evolution of birds if we don’t know them under field conditions so thinking about birds in their habitats is always paramount. He did undergraduate (1977-79) and Honours (1981) degrees at the University of Adelaide, a PhD at the University of Queensland (1989-1994) and has lived in Uruguay and the USA. In Uruguay, he studied the evolution of migration in shorebirds and the climatic correlates of bird migration in South America. From 1997-2005, he was curator and eventually Chair of the Department of Ornithology at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (now affiliated with Drexel University). He returned home to Australia as Director of the Australian National Wildlife Collection at the end of 2005.

Dr Helen TaylorResearch FellowDepartment of AnatomyUniversity of Otago, New Zealand

Dr Helen Taylor is a research fellow in conservation genetics at the University of Otago, New Zealand. She applies her research to bird species in New Zealand, many of which have experienced drastic reductions in population size and are now intensively managed via translocation programmes. Before moving to New Zealand from the UK, Dr Taylor volunteered with Birdlife Malta and the Tambopata Macaw Project in Peru. She has since applied genetic techniques to a variety of bird taxa including oystercatchers, little-spotted kiwi and, most recently, South Island robins and hihi (stitchbirds), where she is investigating links between small populations and poor male fertility. Dr Taylor is an active member of Birds New Zealand, having been a council member for the organisation since 2016 and a member of its scientific committee since 2017. She is currently spearheading a largescale rebrand for Birds New Zealand to help ensure the society stays relevant in the 21stcentury. Dr Taylor is also concerned with the effective integration of genetics into conservation management and is part of the IUCN Conservation Genetics Specialist Group. A passionate science communicator, you can find her blog at http://sciblogs.co.nz/wild-science/ on twitter @helentaylorcg, and learn more about her research at www.helentaylorscience.com.


Dr Rohan ClarkeLecturerSchool of Biological SciencesClayton Campus, Monash University, Victoria

Rohan leads the ResearchEcology group in the School of Biological Sciences at Monash University. Whilst his interests are broad, current focal areas are the conservation biology of threatened birds, and seabird spatial ecology, the latter also with an eye to addressing threatening processes. A large part of his career has involved working directly with managers to optimise conservation actions, with direct contributions to 20+ threatened species recovery programs. Current work includes contributions to the translocation efforts for the diminutive Mallee Emu-wren and assessing impacts of invasive rodents on a suite of endemic passerines that persist on Norfolk Island. Within the marine realm, Rohan leads seabird focused programs at Ashmore Reef, in waters off the south-east coast of mainland Australia and at Norfolk Island where his group establish baseline monitoring programs (e.g. following the Montara Oil Spill) and seek to disentangle the spatial ecology of wide-ranging species to better secure populations. Rohan is also a passionate birder with a strong desire to bridge the gap between birders, amateur ornithologists and professionals: recent contributions here include co-authorship of the Australian Bird Guide (2017: CSIRO Publishing) and Finding Australian Birds (2016: CSIRO publishing).

Dr Ayesha Tulloch ARC DECRA FellowDesert Ecology Research Group, School of Life and Environmental SciencesUniversity of Sydney, New South Wales

Ayesha is an ARC DECRA Fellow at the University of Sydney whose research focuses on using good ecological knowledge to inform conservation decision-making. She has worked in applied conservation and wildlife ecology for over 15 years and is interested in biodiversity management decisions that take place in human-modified landscapes where there are multiple threats and conflicting objectives. Ayesha works with government agencies and NGOs in Australia, Africa and Asia including Bush Heritage Australia, the Wildlife Conservation Society and BirdLife Australia to help deliver effective on-ground conservation outcomes for threatened and declining species. Her current research interests centre around ecological and management forecasting to recover bird communities under threat. This research takes her to study birds across the Simpson Desert as well as threatened ecological communities of eastern Australia such as Box Gum Grassy Woodland. She has a keen interest in developing decision-support tools to help conservation management and monitoring, and co-leads the multi-stakeholder National Environmental Science Program Threatened Species Hub project “A Threatened Species Index for Australia”.
