Status Codes

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)

Status Codes from the SA Butterflies Checklist, plus our colour coding to highlight them:
E	Endangered
V	Vulnerable
R	Rare
L	Local (Uncommon)
C	Common

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 taxon sequence, using text colour & codes to indicate location:

We've photographed this species on Ellura (hence also in the Murray Mallee); written in blue

We've photographed this species in the Murray Mallee Region, but not Ellura; written in brown

We've photographed this species in the Riverland; written in brown

Further Away:

We've photographed this species in the Flinders Ranges; written in brown

We've photographed this species in the Adelaide Hills; if not in the Murray Mallee, written in light green

We've photographed this species in the Adelaide Plains; if not in the Murray Mallee, written in light green

We've photographed this species in Coastal Regions; if not in the Murray Mallee, written in dark green

We have added some new statistics on the thumbnail pages; which give counts, totals & per month, with some specifications.
At times the counts may 'seem' not to add up, but this is because the totals are "specimens", and the months are "observations". As such, the same specimens have been observed more than once.
This is the key for these new stat's:

'B'

= Bud

'F'

= Female

'Fl'

= Flower

'Fr'

= Fruit/seed

'J'

= Juvenile/Seedling

'M'

= Male

Where nothing is specified it's usually an Adult, possibly unspecified, but has been photographed.
