ABSTRACT The Night Parrot Pezoporus occidentalis is one of the least known and most threatened of Australia’s bird species. In recent decades, breeding has been confirmed at only two remote regions in inland Australia. Consequently, reports of its presence in new locations have important conservation implications and elicit intense public interest. Between 2016 and 2018, following targeted searches, the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) reported the presence of Night Parrots on their Kalamurina Wildlife Reserve (South Australia) and the Diamantina National Park (Queensland). In response to questions raised from within the Australian ornithological community, AWC appointed an independent panel to assess the adequacy of the evidence for the presence of Night Parrots at these two locations. The panel was tasked with considering three lines of evidence: a single feather discovered at Kalamurina in 2017, calls recorded on an acoustic recorder at Kalamurina in 2018 and photographs of three nests with eggs taken at Diamantina National Park in 2016. The panel concluded that each of the three lines of evidence was insufficient to demonstrate conclusively the occurrence of Night Parrots at either Diamantina National Park or Kalamurina Wildlife Reserve. Here we present a summary of the panel’s findings, to maintain these findings permanently on the public record.

评估卡拉穆里纳野生动物保护区(南澳大利亚)和迪亚曼蒂纳国家公园(昆士兰)夜鹦鹉记录的证据强度,2016-2018

摘要 夜鹦鹉 Pezoporus occidentalis 是澳大利亚最鲜为人知和最受威胁的鸟类之一。近几十年来,仅在澳大利亚内陆的两个偏远地区证实了繁殖。因此,关于它出现在新地点的报告具有重要的保护意义,并引起了公众的强烈兴趣。2016 年至 2018 年间,在进行有针对性的搜索之后,澳大利亚野生动物保护协会 (AWC) 报告称,在其 Kalamurina 野生动物保护区(南澳大利亚)和迪亚曼蒂纳国家公园(昆士兰)中发现了夜鹦鹉。针对澳大利亚鸟类学界提出的问题,AWC 任命了一个独立小组来评估这两个地点存在夜鹦鹉的证据是否充分。专家组的任务是考虑三方面的证据:2017 年在 Kalamurina 发现的一根羽毛、2018 年在 Kalamurina 的录音机上记录的电话以及 2016 年在 Diamantina 国家公园拍摄的三个带卵的巢穴的照片。这三条证据中的任何一条都不足以最终证明在迪亚曼蒂纳国家公园或卡拉穆里纳野生动物保护区发生夜鹦鹉。在这里,我们提供了小组调查结果的摘要,以将这些调查结果永久保留在公共记录中。专家组得出的结论是,三个证据中的每一个都不足以最终证明在迪亚曼蒂纳国家公园或卡拉穆里纳野生动物保护区发生夜鹦鹉。在这里,我们提供了小组调查结果的摘要,以将这些调查结果永久保留在公共记录中。专家组得出的结论是,三个证据中的每一个都不足以最终证明在迪亚曼蒂纳国家公园或卡拉穆里纳野生动物保护区发生夜鹦鹉。在这里,我们提供了小组调查结果的摘要,以将这些调查结果永久保留在公共记录中。
