These fossils have been collected and studied for over 120 years, but the conjunction of agriculture in the then-rural Redbank Plains district, and the mapping of the valuable Ipswich coalfields, led to their palaeontological significance being recognised and documented. Scientific study began in 1916 and has continued since, revealing some of the earliest evidence of modern Australian fauna and flora. However, the area’s rich underground coal resources and a hunger for residential land in a rapidly developing urban corridor, has resulted in the loss of or threats to the fossil sites. One deposit has been given local government status as a Conservation Park and remains accessible for scientific study, but the lack of either national or state protection for such significant sites in Queensland and Australia imperils our national geological heritage and its scientific contribution.","PeriodicalId":40055,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70765666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The species is considered at risk from a range of significant biological and anthropogenic stressors, including the recent, rapid spread of translocated sleepy cod ( Oxyeleotris lineolata ) throughout its range. Little is known of N. cooperensis biology and ecology due to its cryptic nature and restricted distribution within a remote geographical landscape. This study undertook targeted sampling to collect critical biological information, to better evaluate the species’ response to current and future threats. Despite a low catch rate, some important biological observations were made. Notably, a ripe female was collected (TL: 409 mm, W: 575.5 g) with eggs ranging in size from 2.48 mm to 3.30 mm, and an estimated fecundity of 4370 eggs. Patterns in reproductive biology indicate the species is likely to be an annual batch spawner, possibly cued by early summer storms. Dietary analysis showed a narrow diet [Levins’ standardised niche breadth: 0.33 (B A )] dominated by gastropods and bivalves. Findings from this study provide significant new information regarding the species’ reproductive biology and ecology, in particular life-history similarities and dietary overlap with invasive O. lineolata . Our findings validate some of the perceived threats to N. cooperensis and will enable future work to accurately assess risks to population viability. findings will be integral to the development of a conservation plan for Cooper Creek catfish .
