| Status Codes from the Murray Mallee Survey, plus our colour coding to highlight them: | |||
| RE | Regionally Extinct | ||
| CR | Critically Endangered | ||
| EN | Endangered | ||
| VU | Vulnerable | ||
| RA | Rare | ||
| NT | Near Threatened | ||
| LC | Least Concern | ||
| DD | Data Deficient | ||
| NL | Not listed (insects, spiders, mosses & lichens + those species in other SA regions; not in the Murraylands) | ||
| Thank you to Tobias Scheid for highlighting to us that some of our species fall under the protection of the National Parks & Wildlife Protection Act. They have 3 status levels: Endangered, Vulnerable & Rare. We imported the list and applied our colour codes to matching species on our web site. On our thumbnail pages we've added a "P-" insignia to their status to highlight they have additional legal status. All wildlife is protected in Australia, but the act increases penalties for the listed species. | |||
| We've created some status codes to highlight non-native species: | |||
| H | Hybrid | Can push closely related plants out, or hybridise with them in the wild and dilute the gene pool | |
| If | Introduced Foriegn | Originally from another country; uses resources needed by native species; stressing them, possibly killing them | |
| Ir | Introduced Regional | Originally from another region in Australia; uses resources needed by locally native species; as bad as Foriegn introductions | |
| This website shows species in family sequence, using text colour & codes to indicate location: |
|||
| e | The species has been seen on Ellura (hence also in the Murray Mallee); written in blue | ||
| m | The species has been seen in the Murray Mallee Region, but not Ellura; written in brown | ||
| r | The species has been seen in the Riverland, but not in the Murray Mallee; written in brown | ||
| Further Away: | |||
| f | The species has been seen in the Flinders Ranges, but not in the Murray Mallee; written in brown | ||
| a | The species has been seen in the Adelaide Hills, but not in the Murray Mallee; written in light green | ||
| p | The species has been seen in the Adelaide Plains, but not in the Murray Mallee; written in light green | ||
| c | The species has been seen in Coastal Regions, but not in the Murray Mallee; written in dark green | ||
