Estimating the economic implications for grazing properties in the Mackay Whitsunday catchments of practice changes to more sustainable landscapes
No full textIn the Mackay Whitsunday region, the dominant grazing based operations are small intensive systems that heavily utilise soil, nutrient and chemical management practices. To improve water quality entering the Great Barrier Reef, graziers are being encouraged to adopt improved management practices. However, while there is good understanding of the management changes required to reach improved practice classification levels, there is poor understanding of the likely economic implications for a grazier seeking to move from a lower level classification to the higher level classifications. This paper provides analysis of the costs and benefits associated with adoption of intensive grazing best management practices to determine the effect on the profitability and economic sustainability of grazing enterprises, and the economic viability of capital investment to achieve best management. The results indicate that financial incentives are likely to be required to encourage smaller graziers to invest in changing their management practices, while larger graziers may only require incentives to balance the risk involved with the transition to better management practices.grazing, management practices, incentives, Mackay Whitsunday, Farm Management,

Visions of Mackay: Conference papers
No full text"The chapters in this volume are based on papers delivered at the Visions of Mackay conference, held at Central Queensland University in July 1997. Covering a range of issues including the economy, education, cultural tourism and health, the twenty three authors in this book show how the creativity and commitment of the people of Mackay are the best guarantees of the city's future."--back cover
Trachymyrmex carinatus Mackay & Mackay 1997
No full textT. carinatus Mackay & Mackay Trachymyrmex carinatus Mackay & Mackay, 1997: 43. Holotype worker (MCZC) [examined], paratype workers, paratype queens, and males, 15km W Bellavista, Municipio Riva Palacio, Chihuahua, Mexico (AMNH, WPMC, LACM, MCZC, USNM) [examined], (additional paratypes in MZSP, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México: Instituto de Ecología) Diagnosis Worker: HL 0.8-1.0, HW 0.8-1.04, CI 96-108, SL 0.84-1.04, SI 100-105, ML 1.2-1.44. A relatively small species (HL 0.8-1, HW 0.8-1.04) with normally proportioned legs and antennal scapes (SI 100-105). Head more or less square (CI 96-108), sides subparallel posterior to the eyes, slightly tapering anteriorly between the eyes and mandibular insertions. Posterior margin weakly to moderately concave. Preocular carinae long, strongly curving mesially, and traversing nearly the entire distance between the eye and the frontal carinae, sometimes nearly touching the frontal carinae or appearing to do so. In full-face view, frontal lobes more or less symmetrical. Anterolateral promesonotal teeth moderate in size, pointed in dorsal view, projecting horizontally, not vertically. Anterior median pronotal tubercles small or reduced to denticles, or if toothlike short and broadly pyramidal. Propodeal teeth usually acute, about as long as the distance between their bases. Dorsal surface of body moderately tuberculate, tuberculi generally moderate in size, bearing recurved setae. First gastric tergite coarsely and conspicuously tuberculate. Color brownish to yellow to medium reddish-brown. Queen: HL 1.1-1.25, HW 1.15-1.4, CI 105-112, SL 1.1-1.15, SI 82-96, ML 1.9-2.1. As in worker diagnosis, except for typical caste-specific morphology of the mesosoma related to wing-bearing and head with minute ocelli. Dorsolateral pronotal teeth well-developed, tuberculate, sharply triangulate in dorsal view, often blunt-tipped in anterior view. Mesoscutum coarsely and irregularly rugulose, sometimes with faint longitudinal pattern, minutely tuberculate, and with abundant short, suberect, slightly recurved setae. Male: HL 0.72-0.81, HW 0.75-0.84, CI 104, SL 0.81-0.9, SI 104-111, ML 1.6-1.8. Somewhat variable in size, but presenting the following characters: Dorsolateral pronotal tooth absent in dorsal view, ventrolateral pronotal tooth small, broadly to narrowly triangular. Mesoscutum irregularly rugulose, interrugal spaces coarsely granulose. Preocular carina a prominent vertical ridge, remaining strongly developed at least until it reaches the midpoint of the posterior border of the antennal scrobe. In full-face view, posterior corners of head more or less rounded, their outlines obscured by the presence of several conspicuous toothlike tuberculi on each corner. Discussion In southern Arizona, T. carinatus co-occurs with T. arizonensis in mid elevation habitats. Workers and queens of these two species are easily distinguished by the distinctive frontal lobes of T. arizonensis and the preocular carinae nearly touching the frontal carinae in T. carinatus (not closely approaching the frontal carinae in T. arizonensis). T. carinatus also sometimes co-occurs with T. pomonae from which it may be separated by its larger size and symmetrical frontal lobes (lobes notably asymmetric in T. pomonae). In addition, workers of T. carinatus are superficially very similar to those of the allopatric T. septentrionalis, from which they may be separated by the characters given in the key. Etymology The species name "carinatus" refers to the well-developed carinae on the vertex of the workers ' and queens ' heads. Biology Trachymyrmex carinatus was described by Mackay & Mackay (1997), based on specimens collected in Chihuahua, Mexico, and the Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona. T. carinatus occurs in central and southern Arizona, western New Mexico and the Mexican States of Sonora, Chihuahua and Coahuila, often in sympatry with T. arizonensis. A single collection from the Kofa Mountains in southwest Arizona marks its westernmost limit. So far, T. carinatus has been encountered most commonly in the mountains of southern and central Arizona in mid elevation habitats (800-1800m). Colonies may be found in open exposed areas with sparse ground cover, such as washes or road-sides, but are especially abundant in oak-juniper-pinyon woodlands. The Kofa Mountains specimens were collected from a nest next to a water seep shaded by palm trees on the wall of a canyon at ~800 m elevation (R. Snelling, personal communication). Nests are sometimes found under stones, but are more often encountered in open ground, where they can be recognized by the circular shape of the nest crater, which contrasts with the more amorphous nest excavations of T. arizonensis. Excavations by C. Rabeling reveal that nests in the Chiricahua Mountains of southern Arizona have one to three fungus garden chambers, with the shallowest chamber only 5 cm beneath the soil surface. Colonies have fewer than 100 workers. Mating flights occur near dawn on mornings following summer rains (Mackay & Mackay 1997).
