In the largest scale orchid translocation known (and the only one translocating into mine rehabilitation), six events have progressively re-located 3,030 mature orchids (1,206 D. tricolor, 1,824 P. petilum) into biodiversity offsets (non-mined: 1,099 D. tricolor, 1,493 P. petilum) and mine rehabilitation (post-mined: 127 D. tricolor, 311 P. petilum), and 300 salvaged tubers into non-mined (20 D. tricolor, 180 P. petilum) and post-mined (10 D. tricolor, 90 P. petilum) lands. Monitoring of orchids for 3–8 years revealed significant relationships between winter rainfall (July for P. petilum, August for D. tricolor) and orchid detection. Both species survived significantly better in non-mined and post-mined land when translocated in soil cores than as salvaged tubers. Diuris tricolor was more detectable overall, with rates 3–8 years post-translocation as high as 53–67% in good years and 16–47% during drought. Prasophyllum petilum was less detectable, returning 4–12% in drought but rising to 52–63% during wetter seasons. Diligent searching prior to flowering doubled detection for D. tricolor and increased it by one third for P. petilum. Two monitoring inspections per season increased detection by up to 12%. After 3–8 years post-translocation, orchids have persisted and are well established. Staged translocation over 8 years with adaptive management to operational procedures and monitoring has increased orchid detectability, and can be applied to future orchid translocations.]]> Wed 29 Mar 2023 11:41:40 AEDT ]]> Population ecology and viability of the green and golden bell frog (Litoria aurea) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13427 Wed 11 Apr 2018 17:02:19 AEST ]]> Biological evaluation of an existing spatial management network for an exploited penaeid species https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43117 Tue 13 Sep 2022 14:25:26 AEST ]]> Modelling the potential consequences of adaptive closure management in a penaeid trawl fishery https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51216 Thu 24 Aug 2023 15:06:05 AEST ]]> Wetland restoration for the threatened green and golden bell frog (litoria aurea): development of a breeding habitat designed to passively manage chytrid-induced amphibian disease and exotic fish https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40479 Thu 14 Jul 2022 08:42:35 AEST ]]> Preliminary evidence for a two-for-one deal: wetland restoration for a threatened frog may benefit a threatened bat https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38566 Thu 04 Nov 2021 13:30:07 AEDT ]]> Effects of vegetation density on habitat suitability for the endangered green and golden bell frog, Litoria aurea https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44399 Fri 17 May 2024 14:35:40 AEST ]]>
