Proposed Lead[edit]

Hi,

You asked for help on writing a lead for this list on TOL talk. How about something like this :-

Due to its geographical situation and isolation Australia has a distinct #aquafauna/silvifauna,whtever# including many endemic species. From the xxth century, early colonisers began introducing a number of exotic species including mammals, plant and fish. About nn spp of fish were introduced in the belief that yy zz... The introduction of the fish has led to ....ecological effects, most notable being the....The most prominent exotic spp is #Some Carp or whatever# which has led to the complete destruction of rrr along WERTTY river valley. Control of exotic spp are being contemplated/attempted by the bu GOVT WILDLIFE DEPTT but are facing qqq problems in biodiversity management.

Hope this is of help. Regards, AshLin 03:54, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The page states "An extensive search of all Government Department web sites, both Australian and overseas that relate to introduced and pest fishes have revealed no record of the peacock gudgeon (Tateurndina ocellicauda) becomming naturalised anywhere in Australia." Thanks for your help though! Abbott75 ☺ 06:05, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Red links[edit]

I have changed the links for "red linked" species to point to the Latin names so that the links will work for any page that may be made for these species whatever name the author gives it (obviously I am assuming that whoever creates these pages creates the appropriate scientific name redirect).
