SUMMARY:Native Bees and our Bushland
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr Terry Houston for an entertaining talk about native bees in our bushland. Dr Houston is Research Associate\, Dept. of Terrestrial Zoology (Entomology) Western Australian Museum\, 49 Kew St\, Welshpool. \nInhabiting the Perth Region is a substantial native bee fauna – around 80 species – which is highly dependent on the native flora. New bee species have been coming to light year after year and many await naming and description. The natural history of relatively few bee species has been studied in any detail\, but some fascinating behaviours are found among those that have. An example is the ‘megamouth bee’ (pictured above) that was discovered in Forrestdale several years ago. \nThe rapid destruction of bushlands in the region means that some species are becoming scarce and\, without adequate conservation of the diverse vegetation systems of the region\, some are at risk of going extinct. One specimen of a species already presumed to be extinct\, Douglas’s Broad-headed Bee Hesperocolletes douglasi (pictured below)\, was collected in Banksia woodland on Perth’s northern outskirts in 2015 by Juliana Pille Arnold\, a PhD student at the University of WA and recently made headlines in the local news. This rediscovery and other finds of special interest will be detailed in this presentation to illustrate some of the joys and frustrations of trying to document the biology of native bees. \nDr Houston is also the author of A Guide to Native Bees of Australia\, in which he discusses the estimated 2000 species of Australian bees.

SUMMARY:Digging around in our bushland: what is happening with quenda and their mates?
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday 12th July 2018 \nMeet: Meeting Room\, City West Lotteries House\, Delhi Street West Perth. \nTime: 6.00pm for light refreshments. Talk starts at 6.30pm sharp. \nHow to get there: City West Lotteries House is only 100metres from City West train station on the Fremantle line. Exit to south side of train station onto Delhi Street. \nAbout the speaker: A/Prof Trish Fleming\,BSc (Hons) UWA\, MSc Murdoch\, PhD UWA \n\n\nTrish is a wildlife biologist.  Her research focuses on translational biology\, where improving our understanding of the physiology and behaviour of vertebrates has conservation or welfare implications.  For example\, understanding factors such as  habitat requirements or physiological limitations of animals can provide important information for their management and conservation. \n(Photocredit – Trish Fleming).
