    This dataset is the current total holdings of all pinned Hymenoptera - Mutillidae primary type specimens held at the Australian National Insect Collection. ANIC is the World’s largest repository of Australian type specimens, currently holding about 22,000 primary types, which are the basis of every species description and the ultimate reference for species identification. Primary types are globally recognised as being the most valuable specimens of any collection, because they form the scientific basis of taxonomy, ensure stability of species names and are irreplaceable. Digitising the irreplaceable primary type specimens will not only greatly benefit their curation and long-term safety but will also leverage biodiversity research outcomes of in-house and overseas researchers and facilitate reliable identification of native species and biosecurity threats.

    This is an overall (parent) record for the data collected from surveys of selected marine and terrestrial environmental values at Ashmore Reef Marine Park that were carried out in 2019. In early 2019 Parks Australia commissioned CSIRO to undertake a survey of selected marine and terrestrial environmental values at Ashmore Reef Marine Park. For the terrestrial component, the required elements were to quantify the diversity and abundance of native and non-native plant species, determine the population status and diversity of birds on the islands and to determine the abundance of non-native invasive tropical fire ants. The remit included any evidence of interactions between the fire ants and native fauna, especially birds and turtles. Specific foci for the marine component of the survey were to assess the abundance of key invertebrates which have historically been the subject of illegal fishing and over-exploitation (trochus, beche-de-mer and giant clams), and to assess status (cover and health) of key habitat forming benthic assemblages (corals, macroalgae and seagrass).

    From the first week in May 1987 until the end of 2018, when they were on their property "Koobabbie" in the Northern Wheatbelt of WA, Alison and John Doley collected data on every species of bird they saw each week. Data were recorded on a booklet prepared by CSIRO Division of Wildlife and Rangelands Research for its 1987-1990 bird atlas (Saunders and Ingram 1995). This booklet provided a list of all species known to have occurred in the central wheatbelt and divided the year into 12 months and each month into four weeks; that is, each year had 48 weeks of potential observations. Any species seen on "Koobabbie" that was not listed on the booklet was added to the list. The Doleys also made extensive notes about their observations at the back of each year’s booklet. These notes, together with the raw presence data, comprise this data set. The data recorded each week consisted of a tick for every species seen that week. For example, one Red-capped Robin seen once during a week was recorded as a tick, as were 100 Galahs seen every day of that week.

    During 1970, Carnaby's Black Cockatoos, C. latirostris were shot in Western Australian pine plantations at Gnangara and Somerville (now the Perth suburbs of Murdoch, Winthrop and Booragoon) and in pine plantations and native forest to the east of Mundaring and Sawyers Valley. These photographs are of Carnaby's Black Cockatoo tails and have an accompanying excel file with recorded specimen data, derived from original specimen sheets.
