Is the pygmy Coremiocnemis sp. “social”?
The primary objective is to study social behaviours of the pygmy Coremiocnemis sp. The project has two main aims. (1) I aim to describe and quantify the extent to which the pygmy Coremiocnemis sp. demonstrates subsociality in captivity. (2) I aim to determine whether subsociality is simply a consequence of captivity, or whether subsociality is present in wild populations. If they demonstrate subsociality, this study will represent the first demonstration of these behaviours in a tropical tarantula species from Australia. This project aligns with the Foundation objective of “Pure research aimed at understanding rainforest flora and fauna, ecosystems, processes and biological interactions”.
The relative contribution of gleaning to Tonga's inshore fishery
The services to be provided are, as part of a team detailed in C.A.5 Specified Personnel and C.A.6 Subcontractors, to travel to Tonga to undertake a scoping study to evaluate the contribution of gleaning activities in Tonga’s inshore fisheries.
The scoping study will include scoping activities such as;
• reviewing existing data including the small survey done by the Vava’u Environmental Protection Agency in collaboration with Ministry of Fisheries Tonga (MoF) and any other available data on gleaning that MoF has been collecting (hard drives, reports etc). This activity is expected to take approximately 1 week and will involve working from MoF offices with MoF staff member, Sela Kioa. The specified personnel, Dr Patrick Smallhorn-West, holds an MoU with MoF for the purposes of supporting research on Tonga’s marine ecosystems and fisheries to strengthen the resilience of these systems, generate high quality research outputs, support knowledge co-production, and improve overall efficacy of marine management and conservation in Tonga. The current MoU will expire in January 2027, at which time an extension will be discussed.
• conducting community land surveys and market surveys in 9-12 communities (3-4 in each island group). The surveys will involve recording catch (kg, species) and effort (hrs) of people in gleaning communities. Market data will also be paired with these surveys to attribute a dollar value to catch. The surveys will be conducted in person by the specified personnel and subcontractors. Once the survey methodology is finalised, it will be shared with the Contract Manager for approval.
The activities are being undertaken in order to understand the extent and economic contribution of gleaning in Tonga. The Supplier is required to work with the Tongan Ministry of Fisheries when undertaking the scoping activities.
The Supplier is required to submit a detailed work plan that will include an estimated timeline of activities, in Word format via email to the Contract Manager by 31 March 2024.
At the completion of the services, the Supplier is required to submit a draft report that documents a summary of activities, trip report, review results including the key findings, opportunities and recommendations. The draft report is to be submitted by 1 February 2025. Following feedback from the Contract Manager, the final report is due by 28 February 2025.
