Project Name Mesa A Hub: Warramboo Troglofauna Assessment

Level of Survey Level 2 troglofauna survey

Location Approximately 45 km west of Pannawonica township

Survey Area Size 62.32 km2

Survey Timing Surveys completed between June – October 2015

Relevant Regulatory Guidance Documents and Applicable Legislation

• EPA Statement of Environmental Principles, Factors and Objectives (EPA 2016a);

• Environmental Factor Guideline – Subterranean Fauna (EPA 2016b); • Technical Guidance - Subterranean fauna survey (EPA 2016c); and • Technical Guidance - Sampling methods for subterranean fauna (EPA

2016d).

Key Survey Limitations • Presence of bias in availability of drill holes, as sampling tends to not extend far beyond the footprint of the target ore body and is focussed on particular rock types.

• Lack of adequate taxonomic framework and specialist expertise. • Higher than usual failure rates for the groups Diplura, Polydesmida and

Isopoda during genetic analysis, due to tissue degradation and size of specimens.

• Reconciling historic specimens with recent collections was dependent on the age of, and access to, historical specimens. Sequencing success deteriorates significantly with specimen age.

2.0 Executive Summary Rio Tinto is evaluating the development of the Mesa A Hub, located within the western portion of the Robe Valley in the Pilbara Region, Western Australia. The Mesa A Hub encompasses multiple project areas, including the further development of the Warramboo deposit, which has the potential to impact subterranean fauna communities (both troglobitic and stygobitic fauna) that are known to be prevalent within the Robe Valley. Rio Tinto commissioned Biota Environmental Sciences (Biota) to complete a level 2 troglobitic fauna assessment to inform the evaluation of these potential impacts, which comprised two phases of sampling as well as a desktop review collating previous records from the study area. For the purposes of this report the term ‘survey area’ refers to the Warramboo boundary inclusive of all current sample sites, whereas the ‘study area’ refers to the wider area encompassed by the desktop review (inclusive of the survey area). The study area was selected in liaison with Rio Tinto to encompass continuous submerged high prospectivity habitat extending from the survey area. The objective of this report is to provide the necessary inputs to inform an environmental impact assessment (EIA) of proposed mining activities within the survey area. The deposits of the Robe Valley are the remnants of palaeo channel deposits, generally forming mesa-like landforms. The adjacent or surrounding landforms have been removed by historical erosion. The Warramboo deposit is situated west of Mesa A and occurs below the ground level of the coastal plain. The desktop review confirmed that one Priority Ecological Community (PEC) recognised by the Department of Parks and Wildlife is present within the study and survey area, and a second PEC was identified by the desktop review from the study area. These are, respectively:

• Subterranean invertebrate community of pisolitic hills in the Pilbara; and

• Subterranean invertebrate communities of mesas in the Robe Valley region. For the purposes of this report, the geology of the study area was divided into high (Robe Pisolite over 5 m thickness), medium (Colluvium and Robe Pisolite <5 m thickness) and low (all remaining geological units) habitat prospectivity. Habitats of high prospectivity accounted for 37.3% of the study area by area, with medium accounting for an additional 33%. Approximately 80% of the study area therefore represents potential troglofauna habitat, with the main geological units of relevance having also been recognised by the EPA as potential troglofauna habitat during past assessments. Sampling for troglofauna has previously been conducted within the study area as part of past surveys. Since 2004, 10 targeted troglobitic fauna surveys have been conducted. Western Australian Museum, Biota, NatureMap and Atlas of Living Australia databases were all queried as part of the desktop review to collate the existing records from these surveys. The desktop review yielded a total of 168 troglofauna specimens from 46 taxa recorded between 2004 and 2014. Fourteen taxa were unable to be identified to species level, and as such are not considered within this assessment. Polyxenida sp. Indet. dominated the previously documented fauna assemblage, but this taxon has since been determined as Lophoturus madecassus and is not a Short-range Endemic (SRE). Troglobitic fauna sampling was completed under “Licence to Take Fauna for Scientific Purposes” No. SF010296, and consistent with methodologies in EPA Guidance and guidelines. Sampling was completed using baited colonisation trap deployment, supplemented by drill hole scraping. Two phases of troglofauna sampling were conducted within the study area between June and October 2015 with 33 drill holes sampled. In total, 128 troglofauna traps were installed, with the

same sites utilised during both phases. Scraping was completed at eight drill holes prior to installation of Phase 1 troglofauna habitat traps. While no major rainfall events occurred during the sampling periods, almost 250 mm of rain fell in the three months prior to sampling. Past observations suggest this approximate timing after significant rainfall creates suitable conditions in subterranean habitats for troglofauna sampling. Collected specimens were separated out into morphotypes and preserved in 100% ethanol, which allows for both morphological and molecular analyses. The majority of collected specimens were sequenced for variation at the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (CO1), with Thysanura specimens sequenced using the mitochondrial gene 12S. The conservation significance of the species recorded was categorised as conservation significant species (those formally listed as specially protected under the Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 or identified as Priority taxa by the Department of Parks and Wildlife), SRE species, potential SRE species and non-SRE species. A total of 43 specimens were collected from the Warramboo survey area during the current survey, comprising 32 from Phase 1 and 11 from Phase 2. All 43 specimens were sequenced, which determined that 18 species were present representing nine orders. Thirteen of these species are previously unrecorded and 10 from the current study were recorded from single drill holes only or were singleton records. Based on the desktop review, three species of conservation significance were previously recorded from study area, Paradraculoides anachoretus (order Schizomida), Ideoblothrus linnaei and Ideoblothrus sp. ‘Mesa A’ (both of the order Pseudoscorpiones). Paradraculoides anachoretus is listed as Schedule 3 at State level, while both pseudoscorpion species are listed as Priority 1. Management and monitoring measures for impacts on these species arising from the existing Mesa A/Warramboo operations is covered under the approved Mesa A Troglofauna Management Plan. On the basis of the consolidated data set (rationalising both the desktop review and recent sampling), thirteen species from the survey area were classified as being potential SRE species. Overall these species were poorly collected and are considered data deficient, with nine of the species representing singleton collections, and a further three species with more individuals but all collected from single site locations. Single site distribution locations are very unlikely to represent the true distribution of these species, however, and this result is likely an artefact of sampling effects and population density in the locality. Within the study area 29.8 km2 represents confirmed troglofauna habitat, with over 57% of the confirmed habitat within that being of high prospectivity. Overall 87% of the records of conservation significant and potential SRE species were recorded from within areas of high habitat prospectivity, supporting the habitat categorisation. While inferred high-suitability habitat also extends southwest of the current survey area, collection results appear to differ between the survey area and previous collections south of the survey area. No species of conservation significance, or of potential conservation significance as SREs, that have been recorded from within the survey area are currently known from the inferred continuation of the prospective habitat southwest of the survey area. One strongly troglobitic order, Schizomida, which is well represented in the survey area, is currently unrepresented from the wider study area. While there are no known faults or other structural features in the geology known to potentially isolate this south-western inferred portion of the study area, this may indicate a discontinuity in the habitat or change in extent of deeper and more complex subterranean habitats that may be utilised by more strongly obligate taxa. It is also possible that these patterns may be explained by the influence of ecological sampling effects on past data sets, particularly the effect of rainfall. Specifically-designed sampling within the wider Warramboo study area would be necessary to further inform if the differences in fauna occurrence are an artefact of sampling conditions or due to other factors such as changes in subterranean habitat.

3.0 Introduction Rio Tinto is currently evaluating the development of a number of iron ore deposits within the Robe Valley, located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. One such prospective development, the Mesa A Hub, is located within the western portion of the Robe Valley, approximately 45 km west of Pannawonica. The Mesa A Hub encompasses multiple project areas including Warramboo (Figure 3.1).

Mining of the Warramboo deposit is currently approved (EPA 2007a), with the Mesa A Hub proposal entailing both above and below water table expansion to the current above water table operations. This has the potential to impact subterranean fauna communities (both troglobitic and stygobitic fauna) that are known to be prevalent within the Robe Valley. To inform the assessment of these impacts, Rio Tinto wishes to increase knowledge of these communities by collating existing data, determining knowledge gaps and completing additional phases of sampling. Rio Tinto commissioned Biota Environmental Sciences (Biota) to complete the required troglobitic fauna assessment, which comprised two phases of sampling as well as a desktop review collating previous records from the study area.

3.1 Study Objectives and Scope

The scope of this study was to undertake an assessment of troglobitic fauna and troglofauna habitat suitability within the Warramboo study area (approximately 323.5 km2). The key objectives of this study were as follows:

1. conduct a desktop review of relevant data available from the survey area and study areas (Section 5.2);

2. conduct a two-phase sampling programme to document the troglofauna assemblage within the study area (Section 5.3); and

3. place the recorded fauna into a regional context and discuss potential conservation significance (6.2).

The study was planned and implemented as far as practicable in accordance with the following:

• EPA Statement of Environmental Principles, Factors and Objectives (EPA 2016a);

• Environmental Factor Guideline – Subterranean Fauna (EPA 2016b);

• Technical Guidance - Subterranean fauna survey (EPA 2016c); and

• Technical Guidance - Sampling methods for subterranean fauna (EPA 2016d).

3.2 Purpose of this Report

The purpose of this report is to inform an environmental impact assessment (EIA) of proposed mining activities within the survey area as part of the Mesa A Hub proposal. This report presents the findings of the desktop review, and documents the methodology, sampling effort and results of the two-phase troglobitic fauna sampling. Both the field sampling and report are subject to specific limitations that are discussed in Section 4.7.

3.3 Background on Subterranean Fauna

Until recently, Australia was thought to lack habitat suitable for subterranean fauna. However, recent research (mostly with an emphasis on impact assessment) has revealed Australia to be highly diverse in subterranean fauna, with numerous areas of interest throughout the continent (Guzik et al. 2010). In Western Australia these zones of subterranean biodiversity can be found at Cape Range, Barrow Island, the Pilbara bioregion, the Yilgarn and the Nullarbor (Humphreys 2001, Page et al. 2008, Guzik et al. 2010). Relatively recent surveys in the Pilbara have collected subterranean fauna from a range of geological units such as pisolitic iron formations, channel iron deposits, unconsolidated alluvium and sedimentary basalt (Marmonier et al. 1993, Biota 2004, 2006, 2010, 2011a, 2013a). This indicates that the suitability of a formation as habitat for subterranean fauna is mostly a function of the availability of habitable space (Marmonier et al. 1993, Humphreys 1999, Biota 2006), rather than a specific geological unit. Subterranean fauna habitats are characterised by shared physical parameters that include a lack of light, stable temperature, limited nutrient infiltration from surface environments and a constant humidity (Juberthie 2000, Romero 2009). These habitat characteristics have resulted in convergence in body morphology evolution amongst many subterranean fauna. Morphological characteristics common to most subterranean fauna include reduced or lack of pigmentation, reduced or lack of eyes, and elongate body morphology and appendages adapted for sensory movement (Culver and Pipan 2009, Romero 2009). Subterranean fauna can be categorised into two distinct ecological groups based on habitat: troglofauna and stygofauna. Troglofauna are a suite of fauna that survive only in air-filled cavities and interstices between the ground surface and the water table. Stygofauna comprise aquatic taxa occurring in groundwater aquifers and subterranean water bodies. Troglobites and stygobites are obligatory subterranean habitat dwellers, and while they may occur close to surface environments, are strongly adapted to subterranean environments. This makes such fauna unable or highly unlikely to survive surface conditions. A range of similarly adapted fauna known as troglophiles, trogloxenes and edaphobites also occur; these fauna use subterranean habitats opportunistically but are able to survive outside these stable environments. Studies from the Pilbara bioregion have demonstrated that these suites of fauna are not similarly restricted in range and are therefore unlikely to be impacted by small-scale developments (Biota and Helix 2012, Helix 2012). Troglofauna in semi-arid Australia are thought to be relictual rainforest fauna; fauna adapted to humid environments, which retreated underground to cave systems during the aridification of Australia (in the late Miocene; Humphreys 1993). This is inferred from affinities of the taxonomic groups represented amongst the troglofauna with other extant taxa in tropical climates. Some invertebrate groups with troglobitic representatives include the Arachnida (e.g. Schizomida, Pseudoscorpiones and Araneae), Chilopoda (e.g. Scolopendrida), Diplopoda (e.g. Polydesmida and Haplodesmida), and Insecta (e.g. Diplura, Thysanura, Coleoptera and Blattodea). A single troglobitic vertebrate species of blind snake (Anilios longissimus) is known from Australia, collected from Barrow Island and Cape Range (Aplin 1998, Humphreys et al. 2013). Due to their dependence on constant humidity, the dispersal and distribution of troglobitic fauna species tends to remain limited to individual blocks of inter-connected habitat, leading to long periods of population isolation and speciation. As a result, troglobitic fauna are considered to be of conservation significance, given that species often display extreme short-range endemism and may therefore be affected by relatively small-scale developments such as mining and construction.

4.0 Methodology

4.1 Desktop Review and Database Searches

4.1.1 Review of Previous Relevant Studies

A literature review was completed to identify relevant previous surveys from within the study area. This included searches of Biota’s library database, GoogleScholar1 and the EPA’s website, in addition to the identification of previous surveys via database specimen records (Section 4.1.2). Reports and data supplied by Rio Tinto were also collated with the results of the literature search and reviewed.

4.1.2 Database Searches

The following databases were searched to assist with compilation of a list of potential species for the study area:

1. NatureMap: a collaboration between the Department of Parks and Wildlife and the Western Australian Museum (WAM). This database represents the most comprehensive source of information on the distribution of Western Australia's fauna, comprising records from the Fauna Survey Returns database and WA Threatened Fauna Database (both maintained by the Department of Parks and Wildlife) and the WAM Specimen Database.

2. Atlas of Living Australia (ALA): a collaborative project between academic collecting institutions, private individual collectors and community groups. The atlas contains occurrence records, environmental data, images and the conservation status of species throughout Australia.

3. WAM‘s Arachnid, Myriapod and Crustacea database.

4. Biota Internal Database: This database includes all of the subterranean fauna data collected by Biota within Western Australia

4.2 Habitat Characterisation

The likely habitats for troglobitic fauna in the study area were initially characterised using a combination of regional information and site-specific geological data. Inputs considered in this analysis, where available, included:

1. the spatial extent of the study area in order to define the geological units that may be affected;

2. regional surface geology mapping;

3. mapping of thickness above water table of prospective geological units;

4. hydrological and hydrogeological information;

5. stratigraphic logging, images and information from drillholes in the study area;

6. previous sampling effort in the locality and the results of published and unpublished studies on troglobitic fauna (Section 4.1); and

7. identification of rock types that have previously yielded troglobitic fauna records from the study area and wider locality (Section 4.1), including reviewing studies that have investigated the nature of troglofauna habitat specific to the Robe Valley (e.g. Biota and Blandford 2013).

The habitat units identified through this process were assigned a prospectivity to support troglofauna based on the above inputs, and then revisited on completion of the sampling component of this study, to further investigate if the spatial distribution of the fauna records provide support for the habitat model. We have categorised the prospectivity of the geological units within the study area as Low, Moderate and High prospectivity for troglofauna, based on the following characteristics:

A) Presence of mesocaverns, vugs and interstitial spaces.

B) Known hydration, weathering or significant cavity zones.

C) Presence of clay lenses or impeding layers to maintain stable humidity.

D) The known occurrence of troglofaunal communities from equivalent rock types during past Pilbara surveys.

E) Occurs above water table within the survey area. Habitat prospectivity categories were then assigned as follows:

Low – Suitable geology only occurs below water table in the survey area. Rock type may have B), C) and E) characteristics but locally lacking suitable habitat space. Troglofauna not known from previous studies sampling of the same geology.

Medium – Suitable geology likely or known to occur above the water table in the survey area (E). Geology known to have interstices or vugs (A) and troglofauna have occasionally been detected in similar rock types previously (D). Geology may be subject to seasonal inundation (e.g. alluvium and colluvium). Where known, units of high prospectivity were categorised as medium if less than 5 m in thickness.

High – Majority (four or five) categories confirmed for the geological unit, including E). Troglofauna routinely recorded from same rock type (D).

Habitat suitability was visualised by plotting troglofauna collections within the mapped prospectivity categories, using a 500 m buffer as a conservative extent for singleton records. This allows definition of areas of highly prospective habitat and confirmed troglofauna records from those without confirmed records but that are likely to be highly prospective based on geological knowledge. Species determined to be widespread were excluded from this analysis. All area within these buffer zones is confirmed habitat, while the area outside is inferred.

4.3 Sampling Methodology

Troglobitic fauna sampling was completed under “Licence to Take Fauna for Scientific Purposes” No. SF010296 issued to Jason Alexander (Appendix 1). Methodology and approach were consistent with those outlined in EPA Technical Guidance; Sampling Methods for Subterranean Fauna (EPA 2016e) and Technical Guidance; Subterranean Fauna Survey (EPA 2016c). Similar methodologies have been used in previous Robe Valley subterranean fauna assessments (Biota 2006, 2009a, 2011b).

4.3.1 Troglofauna Sampling

Troglobitic fauna were sampled using two methods, deployment of baited colonisation traps and drill hole scraping. 4.3.1.1 Colonisation Trapping

Custom-built litter colonisation traps were suspended at intervals within drill holes located within the study area. Traps were constructed from 60 mm internal diameter PVC irrigation pipe cut to a length of 180 mm. Each trap had a series of 20 mm holes drilled into the side, and traps remained open at the upper end. Up to three traps were installed such that they were in contact with the wall of the sampled drill hole, facilitating fauna entry into the trap. Number of traps installed varied depending on depth of the sites and presence and depth of groundwater. Leaf litter was gathered locally from the ground surface in the study area, particularly from the bases of Acacia shrubs. The collected litter was soaked in water and irradiated in a microwave oven for two minutes on maximum power setting. The microwave acted to kill any invertebrates present and assisted in the breaking down of organic matter. Wet litter was added to the traps, which were kept in sealed containers until immediately prior to insertion into the drill hole to avoid desiccation of leaf litter. After the installation of traps, the opening of each drill hole was sealed to maintain humidity and to avoid entry of surface fauna. Traps were recovered from each drill hole after seven weeks and stored in labelled zip lock bags to prevent desiccation of potential troglofauna specimens during transportation to Perth. Fauna specimens were recovered from the traps using specially designed Tullgren funnel units. Leaf litter from each trap was placed in a sieve under an aluminium lamp containing a 25-watt globe. This created a temperature of approximately 30°C at the surface of the leaf litter. A funnel below the leaf litter collected the fauna as they fell through the sieve, directing them into an attached vial of 100% ethanol. Leaf litter was left in the Tullgren funnels for a period of 24 hours, or until dry, after which time the bulked invertebrate sample was removed. 4.3.1.2 Troglofauna Scraping

Troglofauna were also sampled by using reinforced stygofauna haul nets. These nets were constructed from 70 µm plankton mesh and had 100 mm apertures attached to a weighted catch jar. Troglofauna scraping was completed prior to the installation of troglofauna colonisation traps on the first phase. A net of suitable size was lowered to the bottom of each drill hole before being slowly hauled to the surface whilst scraping the wall of the drill hole, dislodging any fauna on the wall. Each drill hole was scraped a minimum of four times, to ensure the interior surface of the drill hole was adequately covered. On completion, fauna specimens were individually preserved in 100% ethanol. The contents of the net, which included dry soil and root matter, were emptied into a container which was then filled with 100% ethanol to preserve any specimens that may have been in the soil and root matter for subsequent sorting in the field laboratory.

4.3.2 Data Management

Preliminary identification of subterranean fauna involved identification of specimens to order level, where possible, or separation of specimens into distinct morphotypes. Sorting was completed in Perth using dissecting microscopes (Olympus SZ40 and SZ61, magnification up to 40x). Morphotypes were then assigned a unique number based on drill hole name, date and method of collection. Specimens were preserved in 100% ethanol once separated out into morphotypes, which allows for both morphological and molecular analyses. Formal morphological taxonomic assessment by external experts was not completed as a part of this study and remains a limitation.

4.4 Molecular Analysis

Molecular analysis of troglofauna groups was conducted to inform determinations of the number of species present, and compare the results with those obtained during previous surveys in the Robe Valley and wider Pilbara region. Yvette Hitchen of Helix Molecular Solutions (Helix) completed the molecular sequencing. Most specimens were sequenced for variation at the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (CO1; Appendix 5). Thysanura specimens were sequenced using mitochondrial gene 12S, as this gene has previously proved more effective at successfully yielding sequences from Pilbara Thysanura specimens, and therefore has superior reference data for comparison. Dr Terrie Finston and Dr Oliver Berry (both of Helix) provided analysis and interpretation of the molecular data (Appendix 5). The molecular analysis used was a preliminary neighbour-joining approach using representative sequences from regional context data sets, followed by a phylogenetic analysis using the sequence data from this study (Appendix 5). This resulted in specimens from the current survey being placed into genetic lineages, which also included specimens from collections elsewhere in the region. Determination of putative species was then inferred from these genetic lineages based on the level of divergence between lineages of the same group (such as order or family), giving consideration to the relative variation within each lineage. It should be noted that detailed morphological analysis was not completed for most specimens and the phylogenetic analysis was based on sequence data from a single gene. Therefore, all species arrived at by this approach should be considered putative unless previously described and fully determined by taxonomic specialists. Lineages with a divergence of less than 4.0% were considered a single species, whereas lineages with a divergence greater than 6.0% were considered separate distinct species for the purpose of this report, unless advised otherwise by Helix based on other data for the relevant taxonomic group. Lineages with intermediate divergences ranging from 4.0–6.0% were resolved to a preliminary level for the purposes of this report, with further input from Helix, and consideration to collection proximity, habitat characteristics and geology.

4.5 Categories of Conservation Significance

For the purpose of this report, the conservation significance of the fauna collected during this study, or records collated during the desktop review, was categorised as per Table 4.2

Table 4.2: Conservation classification used within this report.

4.6 Survey Design

4.6.1 Survey Timing and Personnel

After a site and ground-truthing reconnaissance field mobilisation in April 2015, two phases of troglofauna sampling were conducted at Warramboo between June and October 2015 (Table 4.3).

Preliminary sorting of collected subterranean fauna was completed by Jason Alexander, Jacinta King, Andrew Sheppard, Tim Sachse, Chris Cole, Penny Brooshooft, Jenna Hyatt and Danielle Rayner, all of Biota.

4.6.2 Weather

Temperature and rainfall data were obtained from Mesa J mining operations approximately 42km east of the survey area. Long-term climatological reference data (rainfall data from 1971 – 2014, temperature data from 1971 – 2005) were obtained from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) weather station at Pannawonica (station number 5069, approximately 51 km east of Warramboo.

Sampling occurred between June and September 2015. While no major rainfall events occurred during the sampling periods, almost 250 mm of rain fell in the three months prior to sampling. Past observations (e.g. Biota 2006) suggest this approximate timing after significant rainfall creates suitable conditions in subterranean habitats for troglofauna sampling. This is supported by collection numbers of target fauna in Phase 1 versus Phase 2 (see Section 5.3).

4.6.3 Sampling Effort

A total of 33 drill holes were sampled within the survey area, which involved the installation of 128 troglofauna traps (Table 4.4, Figure 4.2). Troglofauna sampling drill holes were selected from a list of available sites to provide spatial coverage of the target CID and surrounding geologies. The same drill holes were sampled during both phases. Scraping was completed at eight drill holes prior to installation of troglofauna habitat traps.

4.7 Limitations

Several limitations apply to this study, some of which are common functions of working on subterranean fauna, rather than functions of this specific study. These limitations include:

1. Sampling for troglofauna in the Robe Valley and wider Pilbara region relies on the use of drill holes, which are almost always installed as part of exploration drilling and thus focus on geological units of economic importance. This creates a bias in availability of drill holes for troglofauna sampling, as sampling tends to not extend far beyond the footprint of the target ore body and is focussed on particular rock types. This places limitations on determining wider species distributions and whether there are potential barriers to dispersal. This bias is extended to mapping contained within this report, such as habitat suitability (Section 6.3).

2. For several of the faunal groups there is a lack of adequate taxonomic framework and specialist expertise, both within Australia and internationally. Using genetic analysis in place of morphological identification for the majority of specimens, somewhat alleviates this limitation in this study, however the usefulness of genetic analysis is in turn limited by the number of reference specimens available for some groups (especially the Chilopoda and Symphyla) and that a single gene only has been sequenced here (Section 4.4).

3. DNA extraction and amplification for genetic analysis for the groups Diplura, Polydesmida and Isopoda had higher than usual failure rates due to degradation of the genetic material and insufficient genetic material. Despite multiple attempts, no sequence was recorded from 16 specimens from these three groups (Section 5.3.1).

4. Our ability to reconcile historical specimens from the desktop review with specimens collected during this survey was dependent on the age of, and access to, historical specimens. Sequencing success deteriorates significantly with specimen age and the available existing specimens were often unable to be sequenced as reference specimens (see point 3 above).

5. Conservation significance could not be assigned to taxa that could not be identified to species level (such as Diplura sp. Indet. or Trinemura sp. Indet.) as these specimens may corresponds to taxa already known from elsewhere or may represent species complexes.

6. Habitat suitability was plotted using all conservation significant and potential SRE species. While many of these species are currently classified as such due to singleton records, additional taxonomic work may determine they have widespread distributions. This inclusion may skew habitat suitability and result in greater numbers and potential collections from low habitat prospectivity.

Despite these limitations, the study provides an assessment that meets current EPA guidance (Section 3.1) and is adequate to inform the forthcoming EIA for the Mesa A Hub proposal.

5.0 Results

5.1 Study Area Habitat Characterisation

Core habitat for subterranean fauna is primarily a function of available space, ability to maintain a constantly high humidity (for troglofauna) and the potential for nutrient input from surface systems (Humphreys 1991, Wilkens et al. 2000, Biota and DC Blandford & Associates 2013).

The following sections provide an initial description of the physical aspects relevant to the subterranean fauna communities pertinent to the current scope. Section 6.3 revisits this preliminary habitat characterisation and relates this to records of troglobitic fauna obtained from this study.

5.1.1 Geology of the Study Area

The Channel Iron Deposits (CID) of the Robe Valley are the remnants of paleo channel deposits, generally forming variable mesa-like landforms. The adjacent landforms have been removed by historical erosion processes to expose the CID rock as the basal unit of the younger mesa landscape (DC Blandford & Associates 2009). Robe Pisolite (which comprises the CID) forms the erosion-resistant upper surface and structural benches of the mesas (Hocking and Van de Graaff 1987). The current Warramboo deposit is situated west of Mesa A. The current proposed extension is superficially an extension of both existing Warramboo and Mesa A deposits. The Warramboo CID predominantly dips below the coastal plain, representing the western end of the cuesta landform that includes Mesa A.

The geology at Warramboo is simple with no complex structures, faults or fractures. Warramboo deposit is channel fill within the paleo channel of the Robe River, which is incised into Cretaceous age rocks in the local area. The Robe Pisolite exists as thin sheets filling the paleo channel where erosion has not reached the total depth of the original river channel. Warramboo covers parts of this paleo channel, which is the continuation of the Robe Pisolite deposit in Mesa A. These tenements are located downstream from the currently exposed mesa deposits of the main Robe River paleo channel. The Warramboo study area comprises 11 surface geological units, with colluvium and lancustrine deposits comprising over 50% of the surface geology (Table 5.1, Figure 5.1). Robe Pisolite comprises 15.9% of the study area surface geology.

The target pisolite deposit is predominantly a flat lying lenses of mineralisation, which can be broken down into sub-categories in profile. This profile through the deposit is described in detail from top to bottom (data provided by Rio Tinto; Table 5.1, Figure 5.2), below:

• Hardcapped Tertiary Pisolite (HTP) - between 5 and 10 m thick and consists of massive and vitreous goethite. Contains many vugs and cavities (Plate 5.1).

• Tertiary Pisolite Hard (TPH) - is usually found at the base of the HTP unit and is of variable thickness up to 40m. Pisoliths are of variable diameter with a core of hematite or goethite, goethite cortices and a matrix of goethite (Plate 5.1).

• Tertiary Pisolite Mixed (TPM) - underlies TPH is a pervasively altered remnant of TPH. Alteration occurred as the reactive air/water interface moved through the Pisolite body during the process of topographic inversion. Cavities are more common than in TPH.

• Tertiary Pisolite Clay (TPC) - bands of predominantly clay rich material mixed throughout tertiary pisolite.

• Tertiary Pisolite Denatured (TPD) - Discrete, semi-continuous unit of enriched pisolite that ranges in thickness from 2 m to 8 m, but is typically 4 m or less.

• Tertiary Pisolite Basal (TPB) - consists of coarse pisolite, between 7 and 12 mm diameter in a white clay matrix. The basal pisolite is not always present and is rarely seen in outcrops. While variable within this unit, locally TPB is unlikely to contain cavities.

Below this CID stratigraphy lays the basement lithologies, which consist mostly of submerged rocks of the Ashburton Formation and the Boolgeeda Iron Formation of the Hamersley Group.

(cross section location displayed in Figure 5.1 and Figure 5.3).

The mapped CID robe pisolite extends southwest beyond the survey area before a sharp meander in the original river system in a north-westerly trend. The water table in that area lies variable between 9 – 24 m below ground level, meaning that at its thickest, this CID extension varyingly lays between 5 and 26 m thick above water table (Figure 5.3).

5.1.2 Habitat Prospectivity within the Study Area

The physical characteristics of geological units known to provide habitat for troglofauna include fractures, caverns, vugs, or interstices sufficient in size to accommodate troglobitic fauna (Section 4.2). Studies in the Pilbara region have previously found that geological units such as colluvium and pisolite (as occur at Warramboo; Table 5.1; Figure 5.1) are suitable troglofauna habitat, the latter particularly when weathered and hydrated (Biota 2006, 2014a, 2015a). In addition to habitat space for troglobites, these stratigraphic units are often associated with other lithologies with important hydrological functions for troglofauna habitat, such as impeding layers and clay lenses which store infiltrated water from recharge events, maintaining humidity in the system (Biota and DC Blandford & Associates 2013). The combination of these geological units provide for percolation of water and associated nutrients from surface habitats.

From the habitat suitability characteristics outlined in Table 5.1, two geological units were identified as prospective habitats (High and Medium habitat prospectivity; Figure 5.4) and eight identified as non-prospective habitats (Low habitat prospectivity; Table 5.2).

* Variable within this geology but low habitat prospectivity within the study area locality (data supplied by Rio Tinto)

The remaining geological units within the survey area are characterised by few vugs or cavities in which troglofauna can occur or occur predominantly below the water table (submerged geology is excluded as potential habitat for troglofauna). Limited sampling has been completed to date in Kny, Wa and Ma geologies. While these geological units may be utilised by troglofauna opportunistically, their physical characteristics suggest it its unlikely they provide important habitat for troglofauna communities. The CID or Robe Pisolite geological unit is likely to be the primary habitat for troglobitic fauna, with potential for collection in adjacent colluvial units when in contact with the pisolite (Table 5.1). There are currently insufficient data and sampling effort from isolated colluvium deposits to determine if this geology provides a habitat without connection to core habitat units. Both Robe Pisolite and colluvium geological units are identified by the EPA as potential troglofauna habitat (EPA 2016d), with the Robe Pisolite unit at Warramboo also listed as a Priority 1 PEC (“Subterranean invertebrate community of pisolitic hills in the Pilbara”) (Section 5.2.1).

5.2 Desktop Review Results

5.2.1 Priority Ecological Communities

Searches of the Department of Parks and Wildlife TEC, PEC and Environmentally Sensitive Areas database yielded two PECs relevant to the current study (Section 5.2.1). No environmentally sensitive areas were recorded from the search (Section 4.1.2). One PEC is present within the survey area, and a second PEC was from the east of the study area. Both PECs are described in Table 5.3 and their extents shown in Figure 5.5.

Table 5.3: Description of PECs overlapping the study area.

PEC Name Description Category

Subterranean invertebrate community of pisolitic hills in the Pilbara

“Subterranean invertebrate communities of a series of isolated pisolitic mesas in the Robe Valley near Pannawonica in the Shire of Ashburton in the State's Pilbara Region. Includes Mesa A, B, C, G and K and mesas not yet surveyed. The mesas are remnants of old valley infill deposits of the palaeo Robe River. Mesas are flat topped hills with a hard laterised goethite cap (Biota 2006). The cap is underlain by pisolite, which is made up of spherical accretions of iron minerals called pisoliths (the iron ore source), which often have small caverns and spaces between them. These interstices can be large enough to accommodate troglobitic fauna (Biota 2009b). It is assumed that the other ironstone hills also provide a similar habitat for troglobitic fauna that were located in these hills by Biota (Biota 2006).”

Priority 1

Subterranean invertebrate communities of mesas in the Robe Valley region

“Troglobitic faunal communities occur in extremely specialised habitats and appear to require the particular structure and hydrogeology associated with mesas (but also apparently with other ironstone hills in the Robe Valley Region; Biota 2006) to provide a suitable humid habitat (EPA 2007b). Specifically, the habitat is the humidified pisolitic strata (small round accretionary masses of rock). These troglobitic communities are believed to be relics of the late Miocene (23 to 5.3 million years BP), having arisen from tropical faunal lineages that descended into subterranean environments during the aridification of Australia (Biota 2006). Short range endemism is common in these fauna (Biota 2006). Eleven fauna taxa located in Mesa A, for example, was not located in any other mesa sampled. This high level of endemicity was the general pattern of distribution noted by Biota (Biota 2006) for mesas and other hills in the Robe Valley that were thought to be likely habitat for troglofauna.”

Priority 1

Both PECs are categorised as Priority One; Poorly-known ecological community. This category is defined as:

“Ecological communities that are known from very few occurrences with a very restricted distribution (generally ≤5 occurrences or a total area of ≤ 100ha). Occurrences are believed to be under threat either due to limited extent, or being on lands under immediate threat (e.g. within agricultural or pastoral lands, urban areas, active mineral leases) or for which current threats exist. May include communities with occurrences on protected lands. Communities may be included if they are comparatively well-known from one or more localities but do not meet adequacy of survey requirements, and/or are not well defined, and appear to be under immediate threat from known threatening processes across their range.”

5.2.2 Previous Relevant Surveys

Sampling for troglofauna has previously been conducted within the Warramboo survey area as part of other studies. These were completed between 2005 and 2014 and include the original Mesa A environmental impact assessment, Robe Valley mesas baseline troglofauna sampling, Mesa A operations compliance sampling and regional troglofauna studies (Biota 2005, 2006, 2011b, 2013b).

A desktop review was completed to identify relevant previous records from the survey area and the wider study area. Extensive subterranean fauna sampling has previously been conducted within the Robe Valley, including within the study area. Since 2004, 10 targeted troglobitic fauna surveys have been conducted overlapping the current study area (Appendix 6, Table 5.4, Figure 5.6).

A summary of the troglobitic fauna records collated during the desktop review is provided in Table 5.5. Complete details of all previous records are displayed in Appendix 3. The database search bounding the Warramboo troglofauna study area yielded a total of 168 specimens, representing 46 taxa, from previous surveys. These specimens were recorded between 2005 and 2014, and identified using either morphological or molecular techniques (Appendix 3).

Fourteen taxa were unable to be identified to species level, and as such are not considered further within this assessment (Table 5.5; Appendix 3). Four taxa belong to described species, Lophoturus madecassus, Tyrannochthonius basme, Ideoblothrus linnaei and Paradraculoides anachoretus.

Lophoturus madecassus was the highest abundance species recorded, comprising 36% of the total number of specimens. These specimens are not considered further in relation to the study area as previous studies have indicated that these Polyxenida represent a taxon that is widespread through the Pilbara (Biota and Helix 2012), and in fact has a circum-tropical global distribution (Megan Short, pers. comm. 2016). They are therefore not SRE taxa or of conservation significance.

Three species, Schizomida species Paradraculoides anachoretus, Pseudoscorpiones species Ideoblothrus linnaei and ideoblothrus sp. ‘Mesa A’, are listed as Schedule 3, P1 and P1 respectively in Western Australia (Section 6.2).

5.3 Survey Results

A total of 43 troglomorphic specimens were collected from across the Warramboo survey area, comprising 32 from Phase 1 and 11 from Phase 2 (Table 5.6; Figure 5.8). The specimens represented two phyla, seven classes and 9 orders, and 17 taxa, comprising five indeterminate taxa and 12 species-level taxa (Section 5.3.1). The orders Isopoda and Schizomida were the greatest contributors to faunal composition, comprising 30.4% and 23.9% of the total number of potential troglofauna specimens collected from the survey area. All 43 specimens were morphologically identified to order level and subsequently sequenced (Section 4.4) to assign species-level designations (Table 5.6).

A detailed account of each potential troglofauna order, including the results of genetic analysis, follows in Section 5.3.1. In addition to the 43 potential troglofauna specimens, a large number of edaphobitic specimens were collected. As is usual for troglobitic fauna surveys in the Pilbara the majority of collected specimens were edaphobitic, or specimens derived from surface environments. A complete list of specimens recorded is appended (Appendix 2), however for the purpose of this assessment, these specimens are not discussed further.

5.3.1 Annotated Account of Collected Troglofauna

5.3.1.1 Pseudoscorpiones

Three specimens from the order Pseudoscorpiones were successfully sequenced from the survey area (Table 5.7, Figure 5.8). Genetic analysis showed that the collected specimens represented two genetic lineages, which were equivalent to species, from two families, Hyiidae and Chthoniidae (Table 5.7, Figure 5.8, Figure 5.9).

The Hyiidae species collected from Warramboo, Hyiidae sp. ’PH006’, was most closely related (11.3% divergence) to a Buckland Hills species, collected approximately 79 km east-southeast of the current survey area.

The level of CO1 divergence displayed between Hyiidae sp. ‘PH006’, Chthoniidae sp. ‘PCH012’, and reference specimens representing previously identified species, is sufficient for these two lineages to be classed as discrete species based on molecular analysis (see Appendix 4). Both of these species are currently known from single locations and are poorly represented in collections (Section 6.2) and are considered new species.

5.3.1.2 Schizomida

Ten specimens of the order Schizomida were collected and sequenced from the Warramboo survey area, belonging to two phylogenetic lineages (Table 5.8, Figure 5.8). Both lineages are from the family Hubbardiidae, and are highly divergent and as such represent separate species.

The first species, Paradraculoides sp. ‘SCH003’ (Plate 5.2), has previously been recorded from one drill hole in the Warramboo survey area (Figure 5.7). This drill hole (MEADC2381; Figure 5.7) is located within the currently approved mine area. This species diverges from Paradraculoides anachoretus (Mesa A) and Paradraculoides bythius (Mesa B) by between 7.5% and 9.5% (Appendix 4). The known distribution of the species Paradraculoides sp. ‘SCH003’ extends over approximately 4.9 km2, within the Warramboo deposit.

Broader analyses showed that the second species, Paradraculoides sp. ’SCH004/004a’ (T138502), which was only recorded from one specimen, is very closely related to specimens collected during a concurrently run study at Mesa L, Mesa M and Mesa N in the East Deepdale area (approximately 45 km east of the Warramboo collection location). The specimen differs from Mesa L specimens by and average of 0.57%, with a range of 0.12 – 0.87% sequence divergence (Helix unpublished data, Appendix 4), and therefore is very likely to belong to the same species. This record is most likely an artefact of sample contamination, which is discussed further in Section 6.1.

Plate 5.2: Dorsal view of Schizomida species Paradraculoides sp. ‘SCH003’ (T138500, from drill hole

MEARC3790), collected from the survey area.

The Schizomida of the Robe Valley are considered entirely troglobitic with distributions linked mostly with single mesas (such as Paradraculoides anachoretus), or occasionally two proximal mesas (such as Paradraculoides bythius; Biota 2006, 2011b). Paradraculoides sp. ‘SCH003’ is likely to display similar life history and distribution characteristics to the known Schizomida species inhabiting the Robe Valley mesas (Section 6.2).

5.3.1.3 Scolopendromorpha

A single specimen of the order Scolopendromorpha was collected from the Warramboo survey area (Table 5.9, Figure 5.8). This specimen, assigned to the lineage Chilopoda CHI002, belongs to the genus Cryptops (family Cryptopidae) and is the first record of this species. Its putative species, Cryptops sp.’CHI002’ differs from other reference species of the same family by between 18.0 and 28.1% sequence divergence (Appendix 4).

Troglobitic specimens belonging to the genus Cryptops have previously been collected from the Robe Valley at Mesas A, B, G and K (Appendix 4; Biota 2006, 2007, 2012b). While reference data are somewhat limited, sequencing from previous studies and reference specimens indicate that Cryptops sp. ’CHI002’ is a distinct species previously not detected in the region. 5.3.1.4 Polydesmida

Seven specimens of troglomorphic polydesmid millipede were collected from the Warramboo survey area (Table 5.10, Figure 5.8). Two specimens belong to the family Haplodesmidae, representing the species, Haplodesmidae sp. ‘DIHAP001’, were collected from a single drill hole in the survey area. The remaining five specimens failed to yield a viable sequence and therefore could not be determined to species level.

Haplodesmidae sp. ‘DIHAP001’ has been recorded from multiple deposits within the Robe Valley, including Warramboo, Mesa B and Mesa C as well as from a location on the Hardey River (approximately 215 km southeast of Warramboo; Appendix 2, Figure 5.13). The intraspecific variation between populations between these deposits is 0.7%, indicating that gene flow is recent or ongoing across relatively broad spatial scales in these millipedes (Appendix 4). While troglobitic and SRE millipedes have previously been recorded from subterranean environments in the Pilbara (Humphreys et al. 2013), Haplodesmidae sp. ‘DIHAP001’ is unlikely to represent a troglobitic species as there is little evidence to indicate genetic subdivision or a restricted distribution based on geology and landforms. The known distribution of this species is 903 km2.

Two diplura specimens were collected from two drill holes, MEARC3792 and MEARC5017 (Table 5.11, Figure 5.8). However, DNA from both specimens failed to amplify and they were therefore unable to be sequenced or resolved to species level (Section 6.2).

5.3.1.6 Coleoptera

Genetic analysis of the three Coleoptera specimens collected identified three lineages, which correlated to three distinct species (Table 5.12, Figure 5.8).

sp.’CCU004/005’ 1 MEARC4400

Coleoptera lineage CAN003 (family Anthicidae) was assigned to an existing species, Stricticollis tobias, which has a global distribution (Telnov 2010). The Warramboo specimen differs from reference specimens used in the analysis (recorded outside of Australia) by 0.9% divergence (Section 6.2). Lineage Coleoptera CCA001 from the survey area differed by 3.7% from a lineage recorded during a concurrent study at nearby Mesa B, suggesting that both belong to the same species (Figure 5.14; Appendix 4), Curculionidae sp. ’CCA001/012’. Collections of these two lineages is separated by 12.8 km.

This species differed from its most closely related reference species, Pterosticus mutus (GenBank reference species) by 12.4%, and from other specimens sequenced during this study by between 19.8% and 23.4% (Table 5.13). Due to this high level of divergence, this specimen represents a previously unrecorded species.

Coleoptera lineage CCU005 collected at Warramboo is very closely related (3.2 – 3.5% difference) to a lineage previously recorded from nearby Mesas A, B and C (Helix supplied data). These lineages represent a single species, Curculionidae sp. ’CCU004/005’ (Figure 5.14). This species differed from other reference taxa used in the analysis by between 20% and 25% sequence divergence. The known distribution for this species is 27.9 km2.

Considering the low level of genetic diversity between specimens, and given that all species have known distributions from multiple, geomorphologically-separated deposits, it is likely that they represent troglophillic taxa (Section 6.2). There appears to be little geological restriction to dispersal for any of the collected Coleoptera species from the Warramboo study area.

5.3.1.7 Thysanura

Genetic analysis placed the two specimens of the insect order Thysanura collected from the current study area into two families, Nicoletiinae and Subnicoletiinae, and two species, Nicoletiinae sp. 'TN010' and Hemitrinemura sp. 'TS005’ (Table 5.14, Figure 5.8).

Nicoletiinae sp. 'TN010' was recorded from drill hole MEARC4383 during the current study. Additionally, Nicoletiinae sp. 'TN010' has been collected from nearby Mesa B approximately 11.1 km east-northeast of the current survey area (Figure 5.15). This species differed from the closest reference specimen by 9.4%, which was collected during a previous study in the same survey area (Appendix 3). Although closely related to a reference specimen from Christmas Creek (5.5% genetic divergence), Hemitrinemura sp. 'TS005’ is considered a distinct species. Given these specimens were sequenced with 12s, a slower evolving gene, this differentiation would equate to CO1 differentiation of over 7% (T. Finston, Helix pers. comm 2017). Hemitrinemura sp. 'TS005’ was recorded from a single drill hole within the survey area (Appendix 3).

5.3.1.8 Symphyla

A single Symphyla specimen was collected from the Waramboo troglofauna survey area (Figure 5.8). This specimen belongs to the previously unrecorded lineage Symphyla SYM026 from the family Scolopendrellidae, which differs from the closest available reference specimen by 16.7% (Appendix 4) and is therefore considered a new species, Scolopendrellidae sp. 'SYM026' (Table 5.15, Figure 5.17).

5.3.1.9 Isopoda

Fourteen isopod specimens were collected but nine were unable to be successfully sequenced and therefore could not be assigned to a lineage or species level taxon (Table 5.16). The remaining five specimens represented four lineages and three species all from the family Armidillidae (Table 5.16, Figure 5.8). Isopoda lineages 9a and 9b differed from each other by 3.8% and represent the same species based on their location and relatively low genetic divergence (Appendix 4).

One of the other lineages corresponded to a previously sequenced species (Armadillidae sp.’ISA009a/9b’), collected from the adjacent Mesa A deposit. The known distribution for this species is 8.7 km2. The remaining lineages correspond to species that were previously unrecorded (Figure 5.17).

While epigean isopods are routinely collected from leaf litter, and are less prone to extreme short-range endemism, recent genetic analysis of subterranean specimens have indicated that troglomorphic isopods can display habitat restriction (Biota 2015b, Helix 2015a, 2015b).

6.0 Discussion

6.1 Recorded Troglobites Excluded from Assessment

One species of Schizomida documented by this study, is not discussed further in the conclusions of this report. Paradraculoides sp. ’SCH004/004a’, recorded from site MEARC4273 (Section 5.3.1.2), is the same species collected from Mesa L, M and N, approximately 45 km east of the Warramboo collection sites. Given the extreme short range endemism prevalent within the Robe Valley troglobitic fauna communities (Biota 2006, 2011b), and the Schizomida in particular, along with the low level of genetic divergence between the Warramboo specimen and the Mesa L species over such a large distance, it is probable that this record is an artefact. This may be a result of cross-contamination between traps while in transit or during on-site storage (e.g. this specimen moved between the stored traps through an accidental tear in the ziplock bags during transit). To provide context, specimens of the same species from Mesa N differ from Mesa L specimens by an average of 1.9%, over an approximately 1.4 km distance, whereas the MEARC4273 specimen differed by just 0.57% over 45 km (Section 5.3.1.2). While this specimen is still reported for transparency, completeness and to maintain a conservative approach, it is not considered to represent a species endemic to the Warramboo survey area and thereby not considered in Section 6.2.

6.2 Conservation Significance

A total of 22 troglofauna species are now known from the survey area, three of which have been identified as being of conservation significance, Paradraculoides anachoretus (order Schizomida), Ideoblothrus linnaei and Ideoblothrus sp. ‘Mesa A’ (order Pseudoscorpiones; Table 6.1). All three species were recorded during previous surveys and documented during the desktop review as occurring within the survey area. Paradraculoides anachoretus is listed as Schedule 3, while both pseudoscorpion species are listed as Priority 1 (Table 6.1). These species are currently known only from Mesa A, which is adjacent to and partially overlaps the current survey area. No confirmed SRE species were recorded from the current study (Table 6.1). In total, 13 species from the survey area were classified as being potential SRE species. Overall these species were poorly collected and data deficient, with nine of the species representing singleton collections, and a further three species collected from single site locations (Table 6.1). This single site location is unlikely to represent the true distribution of these species however and is likely an artefact of sampling effects. Currently these species have the following attributes of relevance to the assessment of conservation significance of troglobitic fauna:

• species with very short range distributions based on available data; each species currently appears, to be restricted to either a local paleo channel system or an individual mesa;

• relictual fauna representative of very old lineages; the lineages from which the contemporary troglofauna have been present in subterranean habitats since the late Miocene (at least the last 10 million years); and

• similar distributions to species which are currently listed as conservation significant (Vulnerable, Schedule or Priority fauna) under State legislation and occur in similar habitats in the bioregion.

It is likely that the troglobitic species from the Warramboo survey area would be considered data deficient (requiring additional specimens and improvements in overall taxonomic frameworks), or potentially assigned a similar conservation status to the previously described troglobitic species endemic to the Robe Valley mesas (such as Paradraculoides anachoretus or Ideoblothrus linnaei). These potential SRE species are treated here as troglobitic and SRE fauna for the purposes of conservative environmental impact assessment.

The remaining six species are considered Widespread from the survey area, which included Stricticollis tobias, a cosmopolitan species described from specimens outside Australia (Telnov 2010). The remaining five species, while varying between fair and poorly collected from an area less than 10,000 km2, are considered widespread based on habitat indicators and distributions known for other related taxa. These species were recorded from the current study and at other deposits around the Mesa A Hub and elsewhere in the Pilbara (Table 6.1). These specimens show little geological restriction and are likely to be troglophilic species.

6.3 Habitat Suitability

In total, 67.0 km2 of the 323.5 km2 study area represents high prospectivity habitat, with 17 km2 (5.3% of total surface area) confirmed as habitat from sampling using a 500 m buffer around collections (Table 6.2, Figure 6.1). Overall 87.2% of collections of conservation significant and potential SRE species (Table 6.1) were recorded from areas of High habitat prospectivity, supporting the habitat assessment. All orders recorded from the desktop review and current surveys were represented in the high habitat prospectivity, with the exception of Palpigradi.

A total of 141.1 km2 of habitat was categorised as Medium prospectivity with 4.5 km2 (3.2%) confirmed as habitat. Species recorded from Medium habitat prospectivity include from the group Schizomida (n=1), Pseudoscorpiones (n=1) and Thysanura (n=1).

A total of 8.3 km2 (7.7%) of Low prospectivity geology was categorised as confirmed habitat due to troglofauna collection from 11 sites south of the survey area. Species recorded from Low habitat prospectivity include the groups Palpigradi (n=1), Pseudoscorpiones (n=2), Diplura (n=2), Coleoptera (n=1), Thysanura (n=1), Symphyla (n=2) and Scolopendromorpha (n=1). These taxa, with the exception of the Cryptopidae sp. 'CHI022' (Scolopendromorpha) and Olpiidae sp. ‘POL013’ (Pseudoscorpiones), have all been identified solely on morphologically and mostly during previous surveys. Many of these taxonomic groups also have limited local taxonomic expertise and data for some suggest they may be less obligate than other troglofauna of the study area, such as the Schizomida and Pseudoscorpiones.

A total of 186.6 km2 is categorised as inferred High (50.0 km2) and Medium (136.6 km2) prospectivity habitat within the study area (Table 6.2). While no fauna records exist from these areas, geology and other subterranean habitat information suggest that these areas are likely to provided habitat for troglofauna.

While inferred high-suitability habitat also extends southwest of the current survey area, collection results appear to differ between the survey area and previous collections south of the survey area. No species of conservation significance, or of potential conservation significance as SREs, that have been recorded from within the survey area are currently known from the inferred continuation of the prospective habitat southwest of the survey area. One strongly troglobitic order, the Schizomida, represented by two species within the survey area, is currently unrepresented from the wider study area. While there are no known faults or other structural features in the geology known to potentially isolate this south-western inferred portion of the study area, this finding may indicate a discontinuity in the habitat or change in extent of deeper and more complex subterranean habitats that may be utilised by more strongly obligate taxa. It is also possible that these patterns may be explained by the influence of ecological sampling effects on past data sets, particularly the effect of rainfall (Biota 2006, 2013c). Humphreys (1991) also observed that troglofauna populations in karst can expand rapidly after rainfall due to increased food and humidity.

Two sampling phases have been completed within the wider study area outside the survey area to date (Bennelongia 2010, MWH 2014). This previous sampling was completed during relatively dry periods in 2010 and 2013 (September – December), which may reduce the number of obligate subterranean fauna recorded and could also explain differences in the recorded fauna assemblages. However sampling from the Robe Valley mesas in 2010 over the same period (from September to November), still recorded 22 Schizomida from three of the mesas, as well as additional troglobitic taxa (Biota 2011b).

Specifically-designed sampling after significant rainfall within the wider Warramboo study area would be necessary to further inform if the observed differences in fauna assemblage are an artefact of sampling conditions or due to other factors such as changes in subterranean habitat.

6.4 Conclusions

Three species of conservation significance, Paradraculoides anachoretus, Ideoblothrus linnaei and Ideoblothrus sp. ‘Mesa A’, were recorded from the survey area from previous surveys. These species are endemic to Mesa A, which partially overlaps the current study and survey areas. These species are unlikely to be impacted by the development at Warramboo as they are predominantly located outside the study area at Mesa A, and are covered under their approved management plan (Biota 2009b). No species formally identified as being of conservation significance has been recorded from only the Warramboo survey area. Thirteen species from the survey area are categorised as potential SREs, of which all are data deficient (singleton records or poorly represented in collections). Over 87% of conservation significant and potential SRE species are recorded from high habitat prospectivity geologies. This geology, Robe Pisolite (Tp), unit is used by the Department of Parks and Wildlife as a surrogate to define the spatial boundaries of the Subterranean invertebrate community of pisolitic hills in the Pilbara PEC, as the Department “assumed that the other ironstone hills also provide a similar habitat for troglobitic fauna that were located in these hills”. In the current study, specimens of some taxonomic groups were also collected in low abundance from surrounding geological units. While additional sequencing was utilised in an attempt to resolve taxonomic uncertainty for geographically restricted potential SRE species, the age of reference specimens curated in the Western Australian Museum reduced sequencing success. While these species remain unresolved, they are currently display similar life histories to known troglobitic species of conservation significance in the Robe Valley. Conservatively then, these species should be considered as potentially troglobitic for the purpose of the forthcoming EIA. Overall, sampling successfully took place across 33 sites sampled on consecutive phases, which incorporated troglofauna scraping and installation of 128 troglofauna traps. Survey and desktop review analysis yielded 64 taxa in total. Twenty-two species level taxa are now known to occur within the survey area, of which three are of conservations significance, 13 are potential SRE species and six are widespread. Geological modelling of prospective habitat showed over 87% of collections recorded from high prospectivity habitat, supporting the identification of subterranean habitat presented here. Overall, within the study area, there is modelled 67 km2 of High prospectivity habitat, with this comprising 17 km2 of confirmed and 50 km2 of inferred troglobitic fauna habitat.

Re. Report on the molecular systematics of subfauna from the Robe River Valley

Dear Jason,

Following is a summary of the results of the subfauna study we have completed on nine

taxonomic groups from the Robe River Valley. Fifty-five distinct genetic lineages were detected

among the seven groups for which sequences were obtained. The 55 lineages likely represent

between 51 and 54 species, only five of which have been detected previously in the Pilbara. A

further species matched a Genbank specimen of Coleoptera which does not appear to have

been recorded in Australia, although the family to which it belongs is well-represented.

Thanks once again for collaborating on this project with Helix. We hope we can continue to

provide you with useful information, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions or

would like to discuss the results in detail.

Sincerely,

Dr. Terrie Finston, Yvette Hitchen and Dr. Oliver Berry

Molecular systematics of subfauna from the Robe Valley

2

Background and Objective

Two hundred and thirty specimens of subfauna (troglofauna and stygofauna) belonging to nine

taxonomic groups (Amphipoda, Chilopoda, Coleoptera, Diplopoda, Diplura, Isopoda,

Pseudoscorpiones, Schizomida, Thysanura) were collected from Robe River Valley and

sequenced for variation at the mitochondrial COXI gene. The molecular data were assessed in

order to determine the number of species present in each group and compare the results to

those obtained during previous surveys that have been undertaken for the these groups

elsewhere in the Pilbara.

Executive summary

Two hundred and thirty specimens from the Robe River Valley belonging to nine

taxonomic groups were sequenced for variation at the COI gene.

Fifty-five lineages were detected among the seven groups for which sequences were

obtained.

The 55 lineages likely represent between 51 and 54 species.

Five of the species have been detected previously in the Pilbara, whereas the

remainder appear to be new, based on the material available for comparison.

Methods

Two hundred and thirty-eight specimens of subfauna collected from the Robe River Valley area

were sequenced for variation at the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (COXI)

using multiple pairs of primers (LCOI/HCO2, LCOI-long/HCO2-long, NemF1/NemR1 and

LCOI/CIN2341.

Sequences were edited using GENEIOUS software (Drummond et al. 2011). Alignment was

performed with CLUSTAL W (Thompson et al. 1994) using default parameters. Genetic distances

between unique genetic sequences (haplotypes) were measured using uncorrected p-

distances (total percentage of nucleotide differences between sequences).

MODELTEST software (Posada and Crandall, 1998) was used to determine the model of

sequence evolution that best fitted the data for each taxonomic group. Bayesian analysis was

used to construct the phylogenetic trees, incorporating the model as identified in MODELTEST

for each taxonomic group. The phylogeny, branch lengths and posterior probabilities were

obtained by running two trees simultaneously, each running four simultaneous MCMC chains.

The number of cycles needed was determined by the standard deviation of the split

frequencies of the two trees. The analysis was paused after every 1 x 106 generations and when

the standard deviation fell below 0.01, the analysis was stopped. A majority rule consensus tree

was constructed after discarding the “burn-in” trees in both analyses. The burn-in value was

determined by plotting the posterior probabilities obtained after every generation and

identifying the point at which the values reach stationarity (= the asymptote). Trees produced

prior to stationarity were discarded.

For the purposes of this report, lineages were defined as haplotypes or groups of haplotypes

differing from other such groups by >3% sequence divergence. This cut-off was selected based

on bar-coding data, which indicates that intra-specific variation rarely exceeds 3% (Hebert et

al., 2003b).

Results

Schizomids

Preliminary analysis - Reference sequences and outgroups

Ninety-one schizomids were sequenced from the Robe River Valley (Table 1). In order to reduce

analysis time and to simplify the presentation of results, a preliminary neighbour-joining (NJ)

analysis was conducted with the 91 Robe River Valley sequences to identify the number of

genetic lineages present. A representative from each lineage was analysed with 373 reference

sequences of schizomids from previous surveys in the Pilbara to compile a manageable and

relevant reference data set. The reference sequences were selected based on the criteria that

they showed ≤ 15% sequence divergence from at least one of the Robe River Valley lineages.

Molecular systematics of subfauna from the Robe Valley

3

Ten distinct genetic lineages were identified (Figure 1) and a representative from each was

analysed in a model-based phylogenetic analysis with 26 reference specimens. Two

representatives were included from lineage 4 (lineage 4 and 4a) to more fully represent the

genetic variation within the lineage. A specimen of schizomid from the family Hubbardiidae,

Brignolozomus woodwardi (GenBank accession # EU272675) was used as an outgroup.

Phylogenetic analysis

The phylogenetic analysis, which included the ten Robe River Valley lineages, in addition to 26

reference specimens of schizomids, placed the Robe River Valley specimens in ten distinct

lineages, two of which (lineages 8 and 1) also contained reference specimens from a previous

survey at the Robe River Valley (Draculoides mesozeirus and P. bythius). A third Robe Valley

lineage (lineage 3) formed a close relationship with Paradraculoides sp. whereas the remaining

seven lineages were genetically distinct from the reference specimens as evidenced by long

branch lengths (Figure 2). Lineages 1 -4 formed a well-supported clade with five reference

specimens of Paradraculoides and lineages 7 – 9 formed a well-supported clade with the

reference specimen of Draculoides mesozeirus (Figure 2). Lineage 10 formed a well-supported

clade with specimens identified as Draculoides from the Pilbara, although no Genbank voucher

specimens were contained in the clade (Figure 2). Lineage 5 was highly distinct, and was

placed outside all of the clades containing Draculoides and Paradraculoides specimens (Figure

2).

Differentiation within and between lineages

Lineage 4 and 4a differed from one another by an average of 3.1% sequence divergence

(Table 2). Excluding the divergence within lineage 4, the ten lineages of schizomids detected at

the Robe River Valley differed from one another by between 5.8 and 18.0% mean sequence

divergence (Table 2). Individuals within each of the ten lineages differed from one another by

between 0.1 and 1.3% mean sequence divergence (Table 3).

Two of the ten lineages (8 and 1) differed from the closest reference lineage (D. mesozeirus and

P. bythius, respectively), collected during previous surveys at the Robe River Valley by <1%

sequence divergence (Table 4). Lineage 3 differed from the closest reference lineage

(Paradraculoides sp.) by 3.9% (Table 4). The remaining lineages differed from the nearest

reference specimens by >7% (Table 4).

Distribution of lineages

Two lineages (1 and 4/4a) were detected in multiple deposits (Table 5). Lineage 1 was

detected at Mesa B and C, and lineage 4/4a was detected at Mesas L, M and N, and

Highway and Tod bore (Table 5). Two deposits (Mesa B and Highway and Tod bore) contained

multiple lineages. Mesa B contained lineages 1 and 5, and Highway and Tod bore contained

lineages 3 and 4 (Table 5).

Amphipoda

Preliminary analysis - Reference sequences and outgroups

Forty-seven specimens of amphipods from seven sites were sequenced from Robe Valley (Table

6). In order to reduce analysis time and to simplify the presentation of results, a preliminary

neighbour-joining (NJ) analysis was conducted on the 25 Robe Valley amphipods for which

sequences were obtained, and haplotypes were selected from each genetic lineage to

include in a model-based phylogenetic analysis. Two sequences of the cladoceran genus

Daphnia were used as outgroups for both analyses as follows: Daphnia pulex (Genbank

accession number J150976) and Daphnia pulicaria (Genbank accession number JN233925).

The neighbour-joining analysis placed the 25 specimens of amphipods for which sequences

were obtained into eight lineages (Figure 3). Comparisons to the GenBank sequence database

indicated that six of the eight lineages (1 – 6) were most similar to sequences of Melitidae,

whereas two lineages (7, 8) were most similar to sequences of Niphargidae. The Melitidae

lineages contained between one and six specimens, and the putative Niphargidae lineages

contained between one and five specimens (Figure 3).

For the Melitidae, 20 reference sequences were included, two GenBank vouchers of Melitidae,

Norcapensis mandibularis (Genbank accession #JQ608487) and Nedsia sp. (Genbank

Page 100: Mesa A Hub: Warramboo Troglobitic Fauna Assessment · 2018-12-10 · fauna assessment to inform the evaluation of these potential impacts, which comprised two phases of sampling as

accession # EU304458) and 18 specimens of Melitidae detected in previous surveys of the Robe

River, Cape Range, Barrow Island and Ashburton River drainage basins.

For the Niphargidae, two reference sequences were included in the phylogenetic analysis, ,

Niphargus fontanus (Genbank accession #KC315635) and Niphargus glenniei (Genbank

accession # KC315646) as well as 19 specimens from previous surveys of the Central Pilbara,

Barrow Island, Lower Shaw River, Fortescue River, and Marillana Creek.

Phylogenetic analysis

The phylogenetic analysis, revealed the presence of two distinct, well-supported clades, one

containing lineages 1-6 and reference specimens of Melitidae and one containing lineages 7

and 8 and reference specimens of Niphargidae (Figure 4). Two of the two Robe Valley

Melitidae lineages contained closely related reference specimens. Lineages 1 (IV126) and 2

(IV92) formed well-supported clades with reference specimens of Nedsia from a previous survey

in the Robe River Valley, rr3a and nr5mi well, respectively (Figure 4). Further, lineage 5 formed a

well-supported clade with specimens of Nedsia from Barrow Island and the Cape Range

peninsula, and lineages 7 and 8 formed a well-supported clade with each other and the two

Niphargus reference sequences (Figure 4).

Differentiation within and between lineages

The six lineages of Melitidae detected at Robe Valley differed from one another by between 6.7

and 15.6% mean sequence divergence and the two lineages of Niphargidae differed by 15.1%

sequence divergence (Table 7). Differentiation within the six melitid lineages averaged

between 0.0 and 1.8% sequence divergence and differentiation within Niphargidae lineage 8

averaged 0.5% sequence divergence (Table 8).

Robe Valley Melitidae lineage 1 differed from the closest reference lineage (rr3a-2b) by 2.7%

and Melitidae lineage 2 differed from the closest reference lineage (nr5miwell-d) by 0.2% (Table

9). The remaining lineages of Melitidae differed from the nearest reference lineages by

between 6.8 and 10.3% sequence divergence (Table 9). The two lineages of Niphargidae from

the Robe Valley differed from the reference lineages of Niphargus by between 19.0 and 21.3%

sequence divergence (Table 9).

Distribution of lineages

Three of the eight lineages were detected at multiple sites (Table 10), Similarly, three of the six

sites contained multiple lineages- lineages 1, 2 and 8 were detected at Budgie, lineages 4, 7

and 8 were detected at Daves and lineages 3 and 5 were detected at MB13WARR (Table 10).

Chilopoda

Five specimens of Chilopoda from three deposits were sequenced (Table 11). Sequences were

obtained from four specimens and these were analysed with six Genbank vouchers from four

families of Chilopoda, Cryptopidae, Henicopidae, Geophilidae and Mecistocephalidae (in the

superfamily Geophilomorpha) as follows: Scolopocryptops sexspinosus (Genbank accession #

AY288745), Paralamyctes monteithi (Genbank accession # AF334321), Gnathoribautia bonensis

(Genbank accession # KF569297), Geophilus flavus (Genbank accession # JN306685),

Stenotaenia linearis (Genbank accession # KR736251), and Mecistocephalus multidentatus

(Genbank accession # AB610774) as well as 17 reference specimens of Chilopoda from nine

sites in the Pilbara. Two specimens of Onychophora, Metaperipatus inae (Genbank accession #

HQ453464) and Opisthopatus cinctipes (Genbank accession #NC014273) were used as

outgroups.

Phylogenetic analysis

The phylogenetic analysis, which included the four specimens from the Robe Valley in addition

to 23 reference specimens, placed the Robe Valley specimens in two genetically distinct clades

(Figure 5). Three of the specimens (IV139- IV141) formed a well-supported lineage, which was

placed in a well-supported clade with Genbank specimens of Geophilomorpha (Geophilidae

and Mecistocephalidae; Figure 5). The fourth specimen (IV143) was placed in a well-supported

Page 101: Mesa A Hub: Warramboo Troglobitic Fauna Assessment · 2018-12-10 · fauna assessment to inform the evaluation of these potential impacts, which comprised two phases of sampling as

5

clade containing reference specimens from the Pilbara assigned to the genus Cryptops (Figure

5).

Differentiation within and between lineages

Robe Valley Chilopoda lineage 1 (specimens IV139 – IV141) differed from one another by

between 0.0 and 0.3% sequence divergence and from lineage 2 (IV143) by 22.8 – 22.9%

sequence divergence (Table 12). The Robe Valley specimens differed from the reference

specimens by between 18.0 and 28.1% sequence divergence (Table 12).

Distribution of lineages

The Robe Valley Chilopoda lineage 1 was detected at deposit 2403A and lineage 2 was

detected at Highway/Tod bore (Table 13).

Coleoptera

Eleven specimens of Coleoptera from five drillholes at four sites were sequenced from the Robe

Valley (Table 14). The nine specimens for which sequences were obtained were analysed with

six Genbank voucher sequences of Coleoptera, selected on their similarity to the Robe Valley

specimens: Stricticollis tobias (Anthicidae; Genbank accession # KJ962132), Necrobia violacea

(Cleridae; Genbank accession #KJ961916), Pterostichus mutus (Carabidae; Genbank accession

#EU710801), Harpalus discrepans (Carabidae; HM180603), Trigonopterus sp (Curculionidae;

Genbank accession #HE615891), Echinodera ibleiensis (Curculionidae, Genbank accession

#GU213687) as well as 14 reference specimens of Coleoptera from six sites in the Pilbara. Two

specimens of Hemiptera (Nisia carolinensis Genbank accession #LC015451) and Lycorma

delicatula (Genbank accession #EU909203) were used as outgroups.

Phylogenetic analysis

The phylogenetic analysis, which included the nine specimens from the Robe Valley for which

sequences were obtained in addition to 20 reference specimens, placed the Robe Valley

specimens in six genetically distinct lineages (Figure 9). The lineages contained between one

and four specimens (Figure 6). One of the Robe Valley lineages contained a closely related

reference specimen. Lineage 3 (IV153) contained the reference specimen of Stricticollis tobias

from the family Anthicidae (Figure 6). The remaining lineages did not show close relationships

with other reference specimens, however, most of them were placed in well-supported clades

containing reference specimens, allowing some tentative taxonomic assignments. Lineage 1

(IV151) formed a well-supported clade with specimens of Carabidae from Genbank and the

Pilbara, and lineages 4 and 5 (IV150 and IV152, respectively)formed a well-supported clade

with each other and the Genbank and reference sequences of Curculionidae (Figure 6).

Lineage 6 formed a well-supported clade containing Genbank specimens of Curculionidae as

well as Pilbara specimens of Curculionidae (Figure 9). The remaining lineage was less well

resolved. Lineage 2 formed a well-supported clade with Genbank reference specimens of both

Anthicidae and Cleridae (Figure 6).

Differentiation within and between lineages

The four specimens within lineage 2 were genetically identical (Table 15). The six Robe Valley

lineages differed from one another by between 3.2 and 27.1% sequence divergence (Table 15).

The Robe Valley lineages differed from the reference specimens by between 0.9 and 31.0%

sequence divergence (Table 15).

Distribution of lineages

The Robe Valley Coleoptera lineages were each detected in singe deposits (Table 16). Similarly,

each deposit contained a single lineage, except Highway/Tod which contained three lineages:

1, 3 and 5 (Table 16).

Diplopoda

Reference specimens and outgroups

Eleven specimens of Diplopoda assigned to the Polydesmida on the basis of morphology, were

sequenced (Table 17). Six specimens yielded a DNA sequence, however, the DNA appeared to

be contaminated with DNA from flies (muscomorpha).

Diplura

Reference specimens and outgroups

Seven specimens of Diplura from six drillholes at three deposits were sequenced (Table 18). The

five specimens for which sequences were obtained were analysed with 20 specimens of Diplura

from nine sites in the Pilbara belonging to four families: Anajapygidae, Japygidae,

Parajapygidae and Projapygidae, as well as four Genbank voucher specimens, Diplura sp.

(Genbank accession #HQ943342), Campodea tillyardi (Genbank accession # AF370844) and

Lepiodocampa weberi (Genbank accession #HQ882832) from the family Campodeidae and

Japyx solifugus (Genbank accession #AY771989) from the family Japygidae. The planthopper

Lycorma delicatula (Genbank accession # FJ456942) and a specimen of Fulgoridae (Hemiptera

sp.; Genbank accession #GU671563) were used as outgroups.

Phylogenetic analysis

The phylogenetic analysis, which included the five specimens of Diplura from Robe Valley in

addition to 24 reference specimens, placed the Robe Valley specimens in four distinct lineages

(Figure 7). The Robe Valley specimens showed no close relationship to any of the reference

specimens, however, one (lineage 4) was placed in a well-supported clade containing the

Pilbara specimens of Parajapygidae and three (lineages 1, 2 and 3) were placed in a well-

supported clade containing the Genbank reference specimens of Campodeidae (Figure 7).

Differentiation within and between lineages

The two specimens from the Robe Valley in lineage 3 differed from one another by 0.6%

sequence divergence (Table 19). The Robe Valley lineages of putative Campodeidae differed

from one another by between 4.7 and 15.3% sequence divergence and from the nearest

reference specimen (Campodea tillyardi) by 21.4 to 22.2% sequence divergence (Table 19).

The Robe Valley specimen of Parajapygidae differed from the nearest reference specimen

(BX29 from Murrays Hill) by 17.5% sequence divergence (Table 19).

Distribution of lineages

The Robe Valley Diplura lineages were each detected in singe deposits (Table 20). Mesa C

contained a single lineage (lineage 4), however Mesa B contained three lineages: 1, 2 and 3

(Table 20). Two lineages, 1 and 2, were found in the same drillhole at Mesa B (Table 20).

Isopoda

Preliminary analysis, reference specimens and outgroups

Twenty-seven specimens of Isopoda were sequenced from 17 drillholes at six deposits at Robe

Valley (Table 21). Fifteen specimens yielded a DNA sequence. In order to reduce analysis time

and to simplify the presentation of results, a preliminary neighbour-joining (NJ) analysis was

conducted on the 15 Robe Valley isopods for which sequences were obtained, and haplotypes

were selected from each genetic lineage to include in a model-based phylogenetic analysis.

Ten distinct genetic lineages were detected in the NJ analysis (Figure 8), and the ten

representatives were analysed in a model-based phylogenetic analysis with 35 reference

specimens of both aquatic and terrestrial Isopoda from Genbank and 14 sites in the Pilbara.

While the specimens were collected from troglofauna traps, a search of similar sequences on

Genbank and in the Helix database indicated the specimens were most closely matched with

Haloniscus, Burmoniscus and Armadillidium, the former of which is an aquatic genus. It should

be noted however, that Haloniscus is considered to be a terrestrial isopod living in aquatic

habitats (Bayley and Ellis, 1969). Hence we included Genbank voucher specimens of both

aquatic and terrestrial isopods: Pygolabis sp. 1 (Genbank accession # EU107646) and Pygolabis

Page 103: Mesa A Hub: Warramboo Troglobitic Fauna Assessment · 2018-12-10 · fauna assessment to inform the evaluation of these potential impacts, which comprised two phases of sampling as

sp. 4 (Genbank accession #EU107664), Haloniscus sp. 10 (Genbank accession #EU364592),

Halonsicus sp. 12 (Genbank accession #EU364601), Halonsicus sp. 21 (Genbank accession

#EU364622) Laevophiloscia yalgoorensis (Genbank accession #EU364629), Armadillidium

nasatum (Genbank accession #FN824099) and Burmoniscus sp. (Genbank accession

#AB626254). Two specimens of the shrimp Stygiocaris, S. stylifera (Genbank accession

#EU123818) and S. lancifera (Genbank accession #EU123826) were used as outgroups.

Phylogenetic analysis

The phylogenetic analysis, which included the ten representatives from Robe Valley in addition

to 35 reference specimens, placed the Robe Valley specimens in ten distinct lineages (Figure 9).

One of the lineages (lineage 9a; IV181) also contained a reference specimen from Mesa A

(Figure 9). Lineage 9a in turn, formed a well-supported clade with lineage 8 and 9b (Figure 9).

The remaining lineages did not show close relationships with any of the reference specimens,

however lineages 1 and 2 formed a well-supported clade with one another and with two

lineages from Buckland Hills and Red Hill (Figure 9). Lineages 3 and 4 formed a poorly supported

clade with the clade containing lineages 1 and 2 (Figure 9). Lineages 5, 6, and 7 formed a well-

supported clade with specimens of Troglarmadillo from the Pilbara (Figure 9).

Differentiation within and between lineages

The Robe Valley lineages of Isopoda differed from one another by a mean of 3.7 to 25.9%

sequence divergence (Table 22). Differentiation within lineages ranged from a mean of 0.1 to

2.5% sequence divergence (Table 23). The Robe valley lineages differed from the reference

specimens by between 1.2 and 30.1% sequence divergence (Table 24). In particular, lineages

9a and 9b differed from IE45 (a Mesa A reference specimen) by 1.2 to 3.8% sequence

divergence (Table 24). The remaining Robe Valley lineages differed from the reference lineages

by >12% (Table 24).

Distribution of lineages

The Robe Valley Isopoda lineages were each detected in singe deposits (Table 24). Mesa B

contained three lineages: 4, 5 and 8, and Highway/Tod bore contained four lineages: 6, 7, 9a

and 9b (Table 25). One drillhole, TOBRC0020 at Highway/Tod bore contained two lineages, 6

and 7 (Table 25).

Pseudoscorpions

Reference sequences and outgroups

Twenty-six pseudoscorpions were sequenced from 16 drillholes at seven deposits at Robe Valley

(Table 26). In order to reduce analysis time and to simplify the presentation of results, a

preliminary neighbour-joining (NJ) analysis was conducted on the 18 Robe Valley

pseudoscorpions for which sequences were obtained, and haplotypes were selected from

each genetic lineage to include in a model-based phylogenetic analysis. Fifteen distinct

genetic lineages were detected in the NJ analysis (Figure 10), and the 15 representatives were

analysed in a model-based phylogenetic analysis with selected reference specimens. A search

of similar sequences on Genbank and in the Helix database indicated that four of the lineages

(9 – 12) most closely matched the family Chthoniidae and 11 of the lineages most closely

matched Helix database specimens of Hyiidae and a Genbank specimen of Atemnidae. Based

on those results, GenBank voucher sequences were included as reference sequences of

Hyiidae (one specimen) and Atemnidae (one specimen) as follows: Indohya sp JM 2008

(Genbank accession # EU559564) and Paratemnoides sumatranus (GenBank accession #

JN018204). In addition, as local references, seven specimens of Hyiidae from seven sites in the

Pilbara and 22 specimens of Chthoniidae from 11 sites were included in the analysis. Sequences

of the scorpion Pandinus imperator (Genbank accession # AY1565821) and harvestman spider

Siro rubens (Genbank accession # DQ5131111) were used as outgroups.

Phylogenetic analyses

Two phylogenetic analyses were conducted, one for the Chthoniidae and one for the

Hyiidae/Atemnidae. The phylogenetic analysis of the Chthoniidae, which included the four

Chthoniidae lineages from Robe Valley, in addition to 25 reference specimens, placed the

Page 104: Mesa A Hub: Warramboo Troglobitic Fauna Assessment · 2018-12-10 · fauna assessment to inform the evaluation of these potential impacts, which comprised two phases of sampling as

Molecular systematics of subfauna from the Robe Valley

8

Robe Valley specimens in four distinct genetic lineages (Figure 11). The Robe Valley

Chthoniidae lineages did not show close relationships to any of the reference specimens,

however lineages 9 and 10 formed a well-supported clade with one another and with six

specimens of Chthoniidae from the Red Hill and Ophthalmia (Figure 11). Similarly, lineages 11

and 12 formed a well-supported clade with one another and with a specimen of Chthoniidae

from Red Hill (Figure 11).

The phylogenetic analysis of the Hyiidae and Atemnidae, which included the 11 lineages from

Robe Valley, in addition to nine reference specimens, placed the Robe Valley specimens in 11

distinct genetic lineages (Figure 12). Lineages 1 – 8 were placed in a clade containing the

Pilbara and Genbank reference specimens of Hyiidae (Figure 12). The Robe Valley Hyiidae

lineages did not show close relationships to any of the reference specimens, however lineages

3 and 4 formed a well-supported clade with one another and with two specimens of Hyiidae

from the Central Pilbara and Hardey River (Figure 12). Similarly, lineages 6, 7 and 8 formed a

well-supported clade with one another and with a specimen of Hyiidae from Buckland Hills

(Figure 12). The remaining Hyiidae lineages were poorly resolved (Figure 12). Lineages 13 – 15

formed a well-supported clade with one another and with the Genbank specimen of

Atemnidae (Figure 12).

Differentiation within and between lineages

The fifteen lineages of pseudoscorpions from the Robe Valley differed from one another by

between a mean of 3.8 and 29.5% sequence divergence (Table 27). Variation within lineages

ranged from between a mean of 0.1 and 1.2% sequence divergence (Table 28). The four

lineages of Chthoniidae from the Robe Valley differed from one another by between a mean

of 10.5 and 22.6% sequence divergence (Table 27), and from the reference specimens of

Chthoniidae by between 14.4 and 29.6% sequence divergence (Table 29). The eight lineages of

Hyiidae from the Robe Valley differed from one another by between a mean of 3.8 and 26.5%

sequence divergence (Table 27), and from the reference specimens of Hyiidae by between

11.3 and 34.9% sequence divergence (Table 30). The three lineages of Atemnidae differed from

one another by between a mean of 7.6 and 14.6% sequence divergence (Table 27) and from

the reference specimens of Atemnidae by between 18.0 and 19.8% sequence divergence

(Table 30).

Distribution of lineages

The Robe Valley pseudoscorpion lineages were each detected in singe deposits (Table 31).

Only two of the 15 lineages were detected in more than one bore – Chthoniidae lineage 11

and Atemnidae lineage 15 were both detected in two bores (Table 31). Deposits Mesa B, 2402D

and 2403A each contained three lineages and Highway/Tod bore and 2402E each contained

two lineages, whereas two deposits, Mesa L and 2401A contained single lineages (Table 31).

Thysanura

Reference specimens and outgroups

Four specimens of Thysanura were sequenced from three bores at two deposits (Table 32).

None of the specimens yielded a DNA sequence.

Conclusions

COXI is widely considered to show suitable variation to distinguish species (Hebert et al., 2003a).

In a comparison of COXI sequences for over 13,000 pairs of taxa, Hebert et al (2003b) found a

mean of 11.1% sequence divergence between distinct species. Nearly 80% of the comparisons

showed that species pairs differed from one another by greater than 8% sequence divergence.

Schizomida

Previous analyses of genetic variation between morphologically distinct species of Schizomida

can be used as a genetic ‘yardstick’ to interpret the current data set. The five described

species of Paradraculoides (Harvey et al, 2008) differ from one another by between 8.4 to 12.1%

sequence divergence (uncorrected p-distances; calculated by us from the Harvey et al., 2008

Page 105: Mesa A Hub: Warramboo Troglobitic Fauna Assessment · 2018-12-10 · fauna assessment to inform the evaluation of these potential impacts, which comprised two phases of sampling as

data). Similarly, the four described species of Draculoides differ from one another by between

4.5 to 13.7% sequence divergence (uncorrected p-distances calculated by us from Harvey et

al., 2008).

Ten genetically distinct lineages of schizomids were detected at the Robe River Valley. The ten

lineages differed from one another by >approximately 6% sequence divergence, thus each is

likely to represent a distinct species. Variation within lineage 4 (between lineages 4 and 4a) is

slightly higher than would be expected within a single species, and this is likely due to

geographic separation between Mesa L, where lineage 4a was detected, and Highway and

Tod bore and Mesas M and N, where lineage 4 was detected. Thus lineages 4 and 4a may

represent incipient species, or a single species showing differentiation due to limited sampling or

the poor dispersal ability of the group. We suggest the latter conclusion of a single species is

more likely, however, sampling additional specimens from intermediate areas may help resolve

this.

Two of the lineages, 1 and 8, corresponded to previously described species, P. bythius and D.

mesozeirus, respectively. A third lineage (3) may correspond to a third described species,

Paradraculoides sp. OFB 2008, although the genetic distance between the specimens from the

present study and the reference specimen was somewhat higher than is generally observed

between individuals of the same species. Thus lineage 3 and Paradraculoides sp. may represent

incipient species, or a single species showing differentiation due to limited sampling or the poor

dispersal ability of the group. Morphological evidence or sampling additional specimens from

intermediate areas may help resolve this relationship. The remaining seven lineages appear to

be new, based on the material available for comparison. Lineages 1 – 4 are likely to belong to

the genus Paradraculoides and lineages 7 – 9 are likely to belong to the genus Draculoides.

Lineage 10 may also belong to the genus Draculoides, although more voucher sequences are

needed for this genus.

Amphipoda

Eight genetically distinct lineages of amphipods were detected at the Robe River Valley. The

eight lineages differed from one another by > 6% sequence divergence, thus each is likely to

represent a distinct species. Six of the species are Melitidae, and two show the greatest similarity

to sequences of Niphargidae. Lineages 1-5 were placed in the large clade containing

reference specimens of Nedsia and thus are all likely to belong to that genus. Lineage 6 was

placed outside the Nedsia clade and may represent a different genus of Melitidae. Two of the

Nedsia species have been detected previously in the Robe Valley (lineages 1 and 2), based on

their high genetic similarity to reference sequences (<3% sequence divergence). In contrast, the

remaining four Melitidae lineages and the two Niphargidae lineages differed from the nearest

reference lineages by >7% sequence divergence and thus appear to be new, based on the

material available for comparison.

Chilopoda

Two genetically distinct lineages of Chilopoda were detected at the Robe River Valley. The two

lineages differed from one another by > 20% sequence divergence, thus each is likely to

represent a distinct species. Neither showed close genetic relationships to reference specimens,

differing from the references by >18.0% sequence divergence, thus both species are likely to be

new, based on the material available for comparison. Lineage 1 was placed with the

Geophilomorpha, and lineage 2 was placed with specimens of the genus Cryptops.

Coleoptera

Six genetically distinct lineages of Coleoptera were detected at Robe Valley. Two of the

lineages, 4 and 5, differed from one another by 3.2% sequence divergence. As they were

detected at different deposits, it is likely that they represent a single species, which shows

genetic differentiation due to the geographic distance between deposits. The remaining

lineages differ from one another by ≥ 19% sequence divergence, thus each is likely to represent

a distinct species. With one exception, the lineages detected at Robe Valley differ from the

reference lineages by >10% sequence divergence, thus each is likely to represent a new

species, which has so far not been detected, based on the material available for comparison.

Only lineage 3 showed a close relationship to a reference specimen. Lineage 3 showed <1%

sequence divergence from the Genbank specimen of Stricticollis tobias in the family Anthicidae

Page 106: Mesa A Hub: Warramboo Troglobitic Fauna Assessment · 2018-12-10 · fauna assessment to inform the evaluation of these potential impacts, which comprised two phases of sampling as

10

and the subfamily Anthicinae. While we could find no record of this species in Australia, the

subfamily is well-represented, with 18 genera recorded from Australia (Australian Faunal

Directory).

Diplopda

None of the Diplopoda specimens yielded a useable DNA sequence.

Diplura

Four distinct genetic lineages of Diplura were detected at Robe Valley. The four lineages

differed from one another by a mean of >5%, thus each is likely to represent a distinct species.

While the genetic distance between lineages 2 and 3 is moderately low (mean=5%), both

lineages were detected at Mesa B, although in different drillholes, indicating there are barriers

to gene flow between the two lineages over short geographic distances, supporting the notion

that they are separate species. Sampling of intermediate sites may help resolve the relationship

between lineages 2 and 3. All four lineages differ from the reference specimens by >20% and

thus appear to be new, based on the material available for comparison. Three of the lineages

(1 – 3) may belong to the Dipluran family Campodeidae, which is represented in Australia by

four genera, and one lineage (4) likely belongs to the Parajapygidae family.

Isopoda

Ten distinct genetic lineages of Isopoda were detected at Robe Valley. Two of the lineages, 9a

and 9b differed from one another by a mean of 3.7%, which, while low, is higher than is typically

observed between members of the same species. Both lineages were detected at the

Highway/Tod bore deposit, although in different drillholes, indicating there are barriers to gene

flow between the two lineages over short geographic distances, re-enforcing the notion of

separate species. Sampling of intermediate sites may help resolve the relationship between

lineages 9a and 9b. One of the lineages, 9b, was detected previously at Mesa A. The

remaining lineages differ from the reference specimens by >12% and thus appear to be new,

based on the material available for comparison. Three of the lineages (5 - 7) may belong to the

genus Troglarmadillo, as they were placed in a large clade containing reference specimens of

that genus, whereas the remaining lineages could not be given taxonomic assignments, owing

to their distant relationships to reference taxa.

Pseudoscorpiones

Fifteen distinct genetic lineages of pseudoscorpions were detected at Robe Valley, four

Chthoniidae, eight Hyiidae and three putative Atemnidae. The four lineages of Chthoniidae

differed from one another by >10% sequence divergence, thus each is likely to represent a

distinct species. Further, the four Chthoniidae lineages from Robe Valley differed from the

reference specimens by >14%, indicating that the four are likely to be new species that have so

far not been detected in the Pilbara, based on the material available for comparison.

The three putative lineages of Atemnidae differed from one another by >7% sequence

divergence, thus each is likely to represent a distinct species. There are currently no DNA

sequences of Atemnidae from other sites in the Pilbara available for comparison, thus we assign

it tentatively to this family, and no conclusions can be reached regarding the broader

distributions of these species. However, a new species of Anatemnus was recently described

from the Pilbara, and four other species in the family are known from Australia (Alexander et al.,

2014).

With two exceptions, the eight lineages of Hyiidae differed from one another by >13% sequence

divergence. Two of the lineages, 3 and 4, differed from one another by a mean of 3.8%, which,

while low, is higher than is typically observed between members of the same species. The two

lineages were detected at different deposits, 2402D and 2402E, thus the observed genetic

differentiation may reflect the poor dispersal abilities of this group. Sampling of intermediate

sites may help resolve the relationship between lineages 3 and 4. In contrast, lineages 1 and 2

differed by approximately 5% sequence divergence, but both were detected at Mesa B,

indicating that there are barriers to gene flow, over a relatively short geographic distance, and

supporting the notion that the two should be considered separate species. However, sampling

of intermediate sites may help resolve the relationship between the two lineages. The eight

lineages differ from the reference specimens by >13% and thus appear to be new, based on

the material available for comparison.

Summary

Fifty-five lineages from seven taxonomic groups were detected at Robe Valley, as shown

below. The 55 lineages likely represent 51 - 54 species. Five of the species have been detected

previously in the Pilbara, and one matched a Genbank sequence of a species apparently not

recorded from Australia, although the family to which it belongs is well-represented. The

remaining species at Robe Valley are likely to be new, based on the material available for

comparison.

The failure rate was somewhat higher than usual with this project. In addition to our inability to

produce amplification products from some specimens (e.g. Thysanura), of those that did

amplify, some sequences were contaminated with foreign DNA - flies, even human. This

happens when there isn't enough target DNA to out-amplify contaminants.

Schizomida

Ten lineages were detected at Robe Valley, likely corresponding to ten species. Two of the

species have been detected previously in the Pilbara (P. bythius and D. mesozeirus), and a third

shows moderate genetic similarity to Paradraculoides sp. OFB 2008 and requires further

investigation, while the remaining seven appear to be new, based on the material available for

comparison.

Amphipoda

Eight lineages were detected at Robe Valley, likely corresponding to eight species. Two of the

species have been detected previously in the Pilbara (undescribed Melitidae, possibly Nedsia),

while the remaining six appear to be new, based on the material available for comparison.

Chilopoda

Two lineages were detected at Robe Valley, likely corresponding to two species. Neither of the

species has been detected previously in the Pilbara, based on the material available for

comparison.

Coleoptera

Six lineages were detected at Robe Valley, likely corresponding to five species. One of the

species matched a Genbank sequence of a species apparently not recorded from Australia

(Stricticollis tobias from the family Anthicidae), although the family is well-represented in

Australia. The remaining four species are likely to be new, based on the material available for

comparison.

Diplopoda

No clean sequences were obtained from the specimens of Polydesmida.

Diplura

Four lineages were detected at Robe Valley, likely corresponding to four species. None of the

species have been detected previously in the Pilbara, based on the material available for

comparison.

Isopoda

Ten lineages were detected at Robe Valley, likely corresponding to nine or ten species. One of

the species has been detected previously at Mesa A, whereas the remainder appear to be

new, based on the material available for comparison.

Pseudoscorpiones

Fifteen lineages were detected at Robe Valley, likely corresponding to 13 - 15 species. None of

the species have been detected previously in the Pilbara, based on the material available for

comparison.

Thysanura

No sequences were obtained from the specimens of Thysanura.

Re. Report on the molecular systematics of subfauna from the Robe River Valley –

Phase 3 and historical samples – Part 1.

Dear Jason,

Following is a summary of the results of the subfauna study we have completed on four of the

11 taxonomic groups from the Robe River Valley. Thirty-one distinct genetic lineages were

detected among the four groups so far analysed. The 31 lineages likely represent between 24

and 30 species, up to 11 of which may have been detected previously in the Pilbara. Further

investigation may be required to resolve relationships between closely related lineages.

Thanks once again for collaborating on this project with Helix. We hope we can continue to

provide you with useful information, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions or

would like to discuss the results in detail.

Sincerely,

Dr. Terrie Finston, Yvette Hitchen and Dr. Oliver Berry

Background and Objective

Seventy-two specimens of subfauna belonging to four taxonomic groups (Araneae,

Pseudoscorpiones, Schizomida, Thysanura) were collected from Robe River Valley and

sequenced for variation at the mitochondrial COI gene. An additional seven taxonomic groups

are still to be analysed and will be covered in a separate report. The molecular data were

assessed in order to determine the number of species present in each group and compare the

results to those obtained during previous surveys that have been undertaken for the these

groups elsewhere in the Pilbara.

Executive summary

Seventy-two specimens from the Robe River Valley belonging to four taxonomic groups

were sequenced for variation at the COI gene or 12s when necessary.

31 lineages were detected among the four groups.

The 31 lineages likely represent between 24 and 30 species.

Up to 11 of the species may have been detected previously in the Pilbara, whereas the

remainder appear to be new, based on the material available for comparison,

however, further investigation may be required to resolve relationships between closely

related lineages.

Methods

Seventy-two specimens of subfauna collected from the Robe River Valley area were

sequenced for variation at the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (COI) using

multiple pairs of primers (LCOI/HCO2, LCOI-long/HCO2-long, NemF1/NemR1 and LCOI/CIN2341.

The 12s region was amplified and sequenced using primers 12-ai and 12s-bi (Simon et al., 1994).

Sequences were edited using GENEIOUS software (Drummond et al. 2011). Alignment was

performed with CLUSTAL W (Thompson et al. 1994) using default parameters. Genetic distances

between unique genetic sequences (haplotypes) were measured using uncorrected p-

distances (total percentage of nucleotide differences between sequences).

MODELTEST software (Posada and Crandall, 1998) was used to determine the model of

sequence evolution that best fitted the data for each taxonomic group. Bayesian analysis was

used to construct the phylogenetic trees, incorporating the model as identified in MODELTEST

for each taxonomic group. The phylogeny, branch lengths and posterior probabilities were

obtained by running two trees simultaneously, each running four simultaneous MCMC chains.

The number of cycles needed was determined by the standard deviation of the split

frequencies of the two trees. The analysis was paused after every 1 x 106 generations and when

the standard deviation fell below 0.01, the analysis was stopped. A majority rule consensus tree

was constructed after discarding the “burn-in” trees in both analyses. The burn-in value was

determined by plotting the posterior probabilities obtained after every generation and

identifying the point at which the values reach stationarity (= the asymptote). Trees produced

prior to stationarity were discarded.

For the purposes of this report, lineages were defined as haplotypes or groups of haplotypes

differing from other such groups by >3% sequence divergence. This cut-off was selected based

on bar-coding data, which indicates that intra-specific variation rarely exceeds 3% (Hebert et

al., 2003b).

Results

Araneae

Seven historical specimens of Araneae were sequenced for COI (Table 1). Sequences were

obtained from five specimens and these were analysed with 24 lineages of Araneae from the

Pilbara, representing 36 specimens, as well as five GenBank reference specimens as follows:

Aranidae (Arachnura scorpiooides, GenBank accession #KJ957946 and Gea theridoides,

Genbank accession #KJ959766), Oonopidae (Ischnothyreus auritus, Genbank accession#

KR864743) Theridiidae (Theridion ohlerti Genbank accession #GU684645 and Robertus neglectus

GenBank accession #AY231053).

Phylogenetic analysis

The phylogenetic analysis, which included the five specimens from the Robe Valley in addition

to 29 reference specimens, placed the Robe Valley specimens in four genetically distinct

clades (Figure 1). Two of the lineages were placed in a large clade containing reference

specimens of Oonopidae and were assigned to the new lineages AO014 and AO015 (Figure 1).

In particular, AO015 formed a well-supported clade with the Genbank specimen of

Oonopidae; Figure 1). The third lineage (AA001) was placed in a well-supported clade

containing the two Genbank specimens of Aranidae (Figure 1) and the fourth lineage (A012)

was placed in a clade containing Pilbara specimens assigned to the genus Anapistula (family

Symphytognathidae) on the basis of morphology, however this clade formed a well-supported

clade with the Genbank reference specimens of Theriidae (Figure 1).

Differentiation within and between lineages

The Oonopidae lineage AO014 differed from the reference specimens by between 14.1 and

25.1% sequence divergence and Oonopidae lineage AO015 differed from the reference

specimens by between 16.4 and 24.8% sequence divergence (Table 2). The Aranidae lineage

AA001 differed from the reference lineages by between 11.4 and 30.3% sequence divergence

and the final lineage, A012, differed from the reference lineages by between 10.8 and 31.4%

(Table 2).

Pseudoscorpions

Reference sequences and outgroups

Twenty-seven pseudoscorpions (historic, phase 3 and repeats from phases 1 and 2) were

sequenced from the Robe Valley (Table 3). In order to reduce analysis time and to simplify the

presentation of results, a preliminary neighbour-joining (NJ) analysis was conducted on the 22

Robe Valley pseudoscorpions for which sequences were obtained. Fourteen distinct genetic

lineages were detected and haplotypes were selected from each genetic lineage to include in

a model-based phylogenetic analysis. A search of similar sequences on Genbank and in the

Helix database indicated that five of the lineages (1 – 5) most closely matched the family

Chthoniidae, seven of the lineages (8 –14) most closely matched reference specimens of

Hyiidae and two of the lineages (6 and 7) most closely matched reference specimens of

Olpiidae. Based on those results, two separate phylogenetic analyses were conducted, one

including the Chthoniidae and one including both the Hyiidae and the Olpiidae. Genbank

voucher sequences of Chthoniidae were included in the former analysis as follows: nine

sequences belonging to eight genera of Chthoniidae: Anaulacodithella sp (Genbank

accession # EU559520), Sathrochthonius insulanus (Genbank accession #EU559521),

Pseudochthonius sp. (Genbank accession #EU559519), Pseudotyrannochthonius s. JM2

(Genbank accession #EU559509), Paraliochthonius sp JM 2008 (Genbank accession

#EU5595505), Tyrannochthonius sp JM 2008 (Genbank accession # EU559506) from South

America (Columbia), Tyrannochthonius aridus (GenBank accession # KJ659959 from Western

Australia), Lagynochthonius johni (Genbank accession # EU559503; from Indonesia),

Austrochtonia sp JM 2008 (Genbank accession # EU559513; from Australia) and GenBank

voucher sequences of Hyiidae (one specimen) and Olpiidae (two specimens) were included in

the latter analysis as follows: Indohya sp JM 2008 (Genbank accession # EU559564) and

Beierolpium bornemisszai (Genbank accession #EU559545) and Calocheiridius termitophilus

(GenBank accession # EU559544). In addition, as local references, a subset of 46 lineages of

Chthoniidae representing 56 specimens, 20 specimens of Hyiidae and 11 specimens of Olpiidae

were included in the analyses respectively. Sequences of the scorpion Pandinus imperator

(Genbank accession # AY1565821) and harvestman spider Siro rubens (Genbank accession #

DQ5131111) were used as outgroups.

Phylogenetic analyses

Two phylogenetic analyses were conducted, one for the Chthoniidae and one combined for

the Hyiidae/Olpiidae. The phylogenetic analysis of the Chthoniidae, which included the five

Chthoniidae lineages from Robe Valley, in addition to 55 reference specimens, placed the

Page 145: Mesa A Hub: Warramboo Troglobitic Fauna Assessment · 2018-12-10 · fauna assessment to inform the evaluation of these potential impacts, which comprised two phases of sampling as

Robe Valley specimens in five distinct genetic lineages (Figure 3). The Robe Valley Chthoniidae

lineages were not placed in lineages containing reference specimens and therefore were

assigned to the new lineages PC047 – PC051. However the lineages showed significant

although distant relationships with some reference specimens (Figure 3). Specifically, lineages

PC048 and PC051 formed a well-supported clade with one another and with specimen IV203

from deposit 2403A from a previous survey in the Robe Valley (Figure 3). Similarly, lineages

PC049 and PC050 formed a well-supported clade with specimen IV210 from Highway/Tod bore

from a previous survey at Robe Valley (Figure 3). Finally, lineage PC047 formed a well-supported

clade with specimen IS10 from Red Hill (Figure 3).

The phylogenetic analysis of the Hyiidae and Olpiidae, which included the nine lineages from

Robe Valley, in addition to 21 reference specimens of Hyiidae and 12 reference specimens of

Olpiidae, placed the Robe Valley specimens in nine distinct genetic lineages (Figure 4). Seven

lineages were placed in a clade containing the Pilbara and Genbank reference specimens of

Hyiidae (Figure 4). The Robe Valley lineages of Hyiidae were not placed in lineages containing

reference specimens, therefore were assigned to the new lineages PH019 – PH025 (Figure 4).

The Robe Valley Hyiidae lineages did however show significant although distant relationships to

some reference specimens (Figure 4). Specifically, lineage PH019 formed a well-supported

clade with specimen IV202 from a previous survey at the Robe Valley and lineages PH020 –

PH025 formed a well-supported clade with one another and with specimen IV219 from a

previous survey at Robe Valley (Figure 4).

Two lineages were placed in a clade containing the Pilbara and Genbank reference

specimens of Olpiidae (Figure 4). The Robe Valley Olpiidae lineages were not placed in

lineages containing reference specimens, therefore were assigned to the new lineages PO012

and PO013 (Figure 4). The Robe Valley Olpiidae lineages did however show significant although

distant relationships to some reference specimens (Figure 4). Specifically, lineage PO012 formed

a well-supported clade with specimens IS03 and JF59 from Red Hill and Mesa H, respectively

and lineage PO013 formed a well-supported clade with specimens from Munjina, Marillana

Creek and Yeelirrie (Figure 4).

Differentiation within and between lineages

The fourteen lineages of Pseudoscorpiones differed from one another by a mean of 3.6 to 35.3%

sequence divergence (Table 4). Variation within lineages ranged from between a mean of 0.0

and 1.8% sequence divergence (Table 5).

The five lineages of Chthoniidae from the Robe Valley differed from one another by between a

mean of 10.4 and 21.2% sequence divergence and from the reference lineages by between

8.5 and 27.1% sequence divergence (Table 6).

The seven lineages of Hyiidae from the Robe Valley differed from one another by between a

mean of 3.5 and 21.6% sequence divergence, and from the reference specimens of Hyiidae by

between 4.2 and 34.9 % sequence divergence (Table 7).

The two lineages of Olpiidae from the Robe Valley differed from one another by 24.2%

sequence divergence and from the reference specimens of Olpiidae by between 14.4 and

27.0% sequence divergence (Table 8).

Schizomids

Preliminary analysis - Reference sequences and outgroups

Eighteen schizomids (phase 3 and historical) were sequenced from the Robe River Valley (Table

9). In addition, two sequences of Bamazomus subsolanus were provided by the WAM in order to

aid identifications. In order to reduce analysis time and to simplify the presentation of results, a

preliminary neighbour-joining (NJ) analysis was conducted with the 16 Robe River Valley

specimens for which sequences were obtained, as well as the B. subsolanus sequences to

identify the number of genetic lineages present. A representative from each lineage was

analysed with >500 reference sequences of schizomids from previous surveys in the Pilbara to

compile a manageable and relevant reference data set. The reference sequences were

selected based on the criteria that they showed ≤ 15% sequence divergence from at least one

of the Robe River Valley lineages.

Five distinct genetic lineages were identified (Figure 5) and a representative from each was

analysed in a model-based phylogenetic analysis with 37 reference specimens. A specimen of

schizomid from the family Hubbardiidae, Brignolozomus woodwardi (GenBank accession #

EU272675) was used as an outgroup.

Phylogenetic analysis

The phylogenetic analysis, which included the five Robe River Valley lineages, in addition to 37

reference specimens of schizomids, placed the Robe River Valley specimens in five distinct

lineages, three of which also contained reference specimens from previous surveys at the Robe

River Valley (Figure 6). These three were assigned to the existing lineages Paradraculoides

anachroretus (SCH036), P. bythius (SCH001) and Robe Valley Bamazomus lineage SCH005;

Figure 6). A fourth Robe Valley lineage formed a close relationship with Paradraculoides

anachoretus, forming a well-supported clade with that species and was assigned to the new

lineage SCH034 (Figure 6). The remaining lineage (Bamazomus subsolanus) formed a well-

supported clade with Robe Valley lineage SCH005 from a previous survey (Figure 6).

Differentiation within and between lineages

The five lineages of schizomids detected at the Robe River Valley differed from one another by

between 4.8 and 19.4% mean sequence divergence (Table 10). Individuals within each of the

five lineages differed from one another by between 0.1 and 0.4% mean sequence divergence

(Table 11).

Three of the five lineages differed from the closest reference lineages (P. bythius, P.

anachoretus, and Robe Valley lineage SCH005), collected during previous surveys at the Robe

River Valley, by <1% sequence divergence (Table 12). Lineage SCH034 differed from the closest

reference lineage (P. anachoretus) by 6.3% (Table 12) and averaged 4.8% sequence

divergence from lineage SCH036 (Table 12). The lineage of B. subsolanus differed from the

nearest reference specimens by >15% (Table 12).

Thysanura

Reference specimens and outgroups

Fourteen of nineteen specimens of Thysanura (historical, phase 3 and phases 1 and 2 repeats)

were successfully sequenced for 12s (Table 13). A search of similar sequences on Genbank and

in the Helix database indicated that two of the specimens most closely matched database

specimens of the subfamily Atelurinae, five of the specimens most closely matched database

specimens of Nicoletiinae and one most closely matched specimens of the subfamily

Subnicoletiinae. The remaining six specimens did not show close relationships with any

database specimens of Thysanura, instead showing the closest (although distant) matches to

Plecoptera. Based on those results, GenBank voucher sequences were included as reference

sequences of Atelurinae (one specimen) and Nicoletiinae (two specimens) as follows: Atelura

formicaria (Genbank accession # EU084035) and Trinemura callawa and T. cundalin (GenBank

accession #JQ282164 and JQ282165). In addition, as local references, 11 lineages of

Ateluriinae, representing 36 specimens, 16 lineages of Nicoletiinae representing 38 specimens

and four lineages of Subnicoletiinae, representing seven specimens were included in the

analysis. Two specimens of Hemiptera were used as outgroups: Palomena prasina (Genbank

accession # JQ029134) and Graphosoma lineatum (Genbank accession # KM013315)

Phylogenetic analyses

The phylogenetic analysis, which included the 14 new specimens from Robe Valley, in addition

to 32 reference lineages, placed the Robe Valley specimens in eight distinct genetic lineages

(Figure 7).

One of those lineages, containing two specimens, was placed in the clade containing

reference lineages of Ateluriinae and was assigned to the new lineage TA009 as it was distinct

from the reference lineages (Figure 7). However, Ateluriinae lineage TA009 formed a well-

supported clade with a lineage of Ateluriinae from the Cape Preston area (Figure 7).

Molecular systematics of subfauna from the Robe Valley

6

Three of the lineages, containing five specimens in total, were placed in the clade containing

reference lineages of Nicoletiinae and were assigned to the new lineages TN010, TN011, TN012,

as they were distinct from the reference lineages (Figure 7). All three lineages were placed in a

well-supported clade containing reference lineages from Christmas Creek, Barrow Island, and

Wheelarra Hill, some of which were assigned to the genus Trinemura on the basis of morphology

(Figure 7).

One lineage, containing a single specimen, was placed in the clade containing reference

lineages of Hemitrinemura, from the subfamily Subnicoletiinae (Figure 7). It formed a well-

supported clade with specimens from Western Hub/Christmas Creek, but was assigned to the

new lineage TS005, as it was distinct from the reference lineages (Figure 7).

Three lineages, containing six specimens in total, were distinct from the reference lineages of

Nicoletiinae, Subnicoletiinae and Ateluriinae, and did not show close matches to any GenBank

specimens of Thysanura. These three lineages were assigned to the new lineages T001, T002 and

T003; Figure 7).

Differentiation within and between lineages

The lineage of Ateluriinae TA009 differed from the nearest reference lineage TA007 by 9.3 to

13.2% sequence divergence (Table 14). The Three lineages of Nicoletiinae differed from one

another by 11.1 to 12.9% sequence divergence (Table 15). They differed from the reference

lineages by 8.7 to 22.3% sequence divergence (Table 15). The lineage of Subnicoletiinae, TS005

differed from the nearest reference lineage, TS004 by 5.3% and from the remaining reference

lineages of Subnicoletiinae by 8.7 to 14.5% sequence divergence (Table 16). The three lineages

of the unknown family, T001 – T003 differed from one another by between 3.1 and 19.2%

sequence divergence (Table 17).

Distribution of lineages

The Ateluriinae lineage TA009 was detected in a single drillhole at Mesa B. Nicoletiinae lineages

TN010, TN011 and TN012 were detected at Highway-Tod and Mesa B, deposit 240E, and Mesa

C, respectively. The Subnicoletiinae lineage TS005 was detected at Highway-Tod. Lineage T001

of the unknown family was detected at Highway-Tod/Waramboo, and lineages T002 and T003

were detected at Mesa B.

Conclusions

COI is widely considered to show suitable variation to distinguish species (Hebert et al., 2003a).

In a comparison of COI sequences for over 13,000 pairs of taxa, Hebert et al (2003b) found a

mean of 11.1% sequence divergence between distinct species. Nearly 80% of the comparisons

showed that species pairs differed from one another by greater than 8% sequence divergence.

However, a taxon by taxon approach, examining the amount of phylogenetic variation within

and between species is the most widely accepted method of defining species.

Araneae

Four genetically distinct lineages of Araneae were detected, likely representing four distinct

species, owing to the high level of sequence divergence among them and between them and

the reference lineages. The four lineages differed from the reference lineages by >10%,

indicating that all are likely to be new lineages and species, based on the material available for

comparison. Some of the species may be tentatively assigned to families, however, based on

their phylogenetic relationships with reference specimens. Two species may belong to the

Oonopidae and one to the Aranidae. The fourth species may belong to the

Symphytognathidae, but was placed in a larger clade containing Genbank reference

specimens of Theriidae.

Pseudoscorpiones

Fourteen distinct genetic lineages of pseudoscorpions were detected at Robe Valley: five

Chthoniidae, seven Hyiidae and two Olpiidae.

Page 148: Mesa A Hub: Warramboo Troglobitic Fauna Assessment · 2018-12-10 · fauna assessment to inform the evaluation of these potential impacts, which comprised two phases of sampling as

Molecular systematics of subfauna from the Robe Valley

7

The five lineages of Chthoniidae differed from one another by >10% sequence divergence, thus

each is likely to represent a distinct species. Further, the five Chthoniidae lineages from Robe

Valley differed from the reference specimens by >8.5%, indicating that the five are likely to be

new species that have so far not been detected in the Pilbara, based on the material available

for comparison.

The two lineages of Olpiidae differed from one another by 24.2% sequence divergence, thus

each represents a distinct species. Further, the two Olpiidae lineages from Robe Valley differed

from the reference specimens by >14%, indicating that the five are likely to be new species that

have so far not been detected in the Pilbara, based on the material available for comparison.

Six of the seven lineages of Hyiidae (PH020 – PH025) were closely related, forming a well-

supported clade and differing from one another by <10% sequence divergence (range= 3.5 –

9.5%). While these values are relatively low, they are higher than is typically observed between

members of the same species. The observed genetic differentiation among these lineages may

reflect multiple species, incipient speciation or differentiation within one or a few species, owing

to the poor dispersal abilities of this group. Sampling of intermediate sites may help resolve the

relationship between these lineages. In contrast, lineage PH019 differed from the remaining

Robe Valley and reference lineages by >16% sequence divergence, indicating that it is likely to

represent a new species that has not been detected previously in the Pilbara, based on the

material available for comparison.

Schizomida

Previous analyses of genetic variation between morphologically distinct species of Schizomida

can be used as a genetic ‘yardstick’ to interpret the current data set. The five described

species of Paradraculoides (Harvey et al, 2008) differ from one another by between 8.4 to 12.1%

sequence divergence (uncorrected p-distances; calculated by us from the Harvey et al., 2008

data). Similarly, the four described species of Draculoides differ from one another by between

4.5 to 13.7% sequence divergence (uncorrected p-distances calculated by us from Harvey et

al., 2008).

Five genetically distinct lineages of schizomids were detected at the Robe River Valley. The five

lineages likely correspond to four or five species. Three were assigned to the existing lineages

and species Paradraculoides anachroretus, P. bythius and Robe Valley Bamazomus lineage

SCH005, differing from these reference lineages by <1%. A fourth Robe Valley lineage formed a

close relationship with Paradraculoides anachoretus, differing from the P. anachoretus lineage

by an average of 4.8% sequence divergence. Thus the relationship between these two lineages

requires further investigation, as the observed divergence, while moderately low, is greater than

that generally observed between individuals of the same species. Sampling from intermediate

sites may help to resolve the relationship between these two lineages. The remaining lineage

(Bamazomus subsolanus) differed from the nearest reference specimens by >15% and thus is

likely to be a new species, which has not been detected in the Pilbara so far, based on the

material available for comparison.

Thysanura

The mitochondrial gene 12S is widely used in insect systematics (Simon et al., 1996; Caterino et

al., 2000), although in contrast to the mitochondrial gene COI, fewer broadscale comparative

studies are available to provide a basis for species discrimination. Nonetheless, 12S has proven

useful for establishing phylogenetic relationships in many insect groups (Caterino et al., 2000).

The 12S gene evolves approximately 1.5 times (Mueller, 2006) more slowly than COI. Hence we

would expect that the threshold for species discrimination using 12S would be, by inference,

lower than COI.

Eight distinct lineages of Thysanura were detected in the present study, one Ateluriinae (TA009),

three Nicoletiinae (TN010, TN011 and TN012), one Subnicoletiinae (TS005) and three belonging

to an undetermined family (T001, T002, T003). The eight lineages likely represent seven species,

with each lineage corresponding to a species with the exception of lineages T002 and T003

from the unknown family, which differed from one another by an average of just over 3%. Using

a conversion factor of 1.5 x to account for the slower 12s rate of evolution, this value might

correspond to approximately 4.5% of COI divergence. Given the relatively low value, but

Page 149: Mesa A Hub: Warramboo Troglobitic Fauna Assessment · 2018-12-10 · fauna assessment to inform the evaluation of these potential impacts, which comprised two phases of sampling as

Molecular systematics of subfauna from the Robe Valley

8

keeping in mind that these are estimates based on current understanding of 12s and COI

evolution rates, it is likely that lineages T002 and T003 comprise a single species, showing some

genetic divergence among drillholes. The taxonomic placement of lineages T001 – T003 is

uncertain, owing to the poor match of these sequences to the Helix and Genbank databases.

Six of the seven species are likely to be new as they differed from the nearest reference

lineages by approximately > 9% sequence divergence (= approximately 13.5% COI divergence,

using the 1.5 conversion factor). Subnicoletiinae lineage TS005 requires further examination. It

differed from a reference lineage from Western Hub by approximately 5% sequence

divergence at 12s. Again, using a conversion factor of 1.5, this may correspond to

approximately 7.5% COI sequence divergence. While this level of differentiation exceeds

typical levels of intraspecific variation, it is clear that the lineage is closely related to the lineage

from Western Hub. Sampling of intermediate sites may help to determine the relationship

between the two lineages.

Summary

So far, 31 lineages from four taxonomic groups were detected during the present study at Robe

Valley, as shown below. The 31 lineages likely represent 24 - 30 species. Five of the species

appear to have been detected previously in the Pilbara, although further investigation may be

required to fully resolve relationships. The remaining species at Robe Valley are likely to be new,

based on the material available for comparison.

The failure rate was somewhat higher than usual with this project. In addition to our inability to

produce amplification products from some historical specimens, which showed evidence of

degraded DNA, of those that did amplify, some sequences were contaminated with foreign

DNA. This happens when there isn't enough target DNA to out-amplify contaminants.

Araneae

Four lineages were detected at Robe Valley, likely corresponding to four species. None of the

species have been detected previously in the Pilbara, based on the material available for

comparison.

Oonopidae: AO014, AO015 = two species

Aranidae: AA001 = one species

Symphytognathidae/Theriidae: A012 = one species

Pseudoscorpiones

Fourteen lineages were detected at Robe Valley, likely corresponding to 9 - 14 species. None of

the species of Chthoniidae and Olpiidae have been detected previously in the Pilbara, based

on the material available for comparison. One species of Hyiidae is likely to be new, however,

the remaining six Hyiidae lineages form a group that includes a lineage detected previously at

Mesa B, and the relationships between these closely related lineages need further investigation

Chthoniidae: PC047, PC048, PC049, PC050, PC051 = five species

Olpiidae: PO012, PO013 = two species

Hyiidae: PH019 = one species

Hyiidae: PH020, PH021, PH022, PH023, PH024, PH025 = one to six species

Schizomida

Five lineages were detected at Robe Valley, likely corresponding to four or five species. Three of

the lineages were placed with reference specimens of Paradraculoides, and two were placed

with reference specimens of Bamazomus. Three of the species have been detected previously

in the Pilbara (lineage SCH005 (Bamazomus), P. bythius and P. anachoretus). A fourth shows

moderate genetic similarity to P. anachoretus and requires further investigation, while the

remaining species of Bamazomus appears to be new, based on the material available for

comparison.

Paradraculoides: SCH001 (P. b ythius), SCH036 (P. anachoretus), SCH034 (similar to P.

Bamazomus: SCH005, SCH035 = two species

Thysanura

Eight lineages were detected at Robe Valley, likely corresponding to seven species in four

subfamilies. Six of the species appear to be new, owing to the large distances between them

and the reference specimens available for comparison. However one species, TS005, appears

to be closely related to a species that was detected previously at Western Hub.

Ateluriinae: TA009 = one species

Nicoletiinae: TN010, TN011 and TN012 = three species

Subnicoletiinae TS005 = one species

undetermined family T001, T002, T003 = two species are likely, T001 and T002+T003

Re. Report on the molecular systematics of subfauna from the Robe River Valley –

historical, Phase 3 and Phase 1 and 2 repeats: Part 2

Dear Jason,

Following is a summary of the results of the subfauna study we have completed on three

taxonomic groups from the Robe River Valley (Symphyla, Chilopoda, Coleoptera). Seventeen

distinct genetic lineages were detected among the three groups. The 17 lineages likely

represent 17 species, four or five of which have been detected previously in the Pilbara.

Thanks once again for collaborating on this project with Helix. We hope we can continue to

provide you with useful information, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions or

would like to discuss the results in detail.

Sincerely,

Dr. Terrie Finston, Yvette Hitchen and Dr. Oliver Berry

Background and Objective

Sixty-two specimens of subfauna belonging to three taxonomic groups (Chilopoda, Coleoptera,

Symphyla) were collected from Robe River Valley and sequenced for variation at the

mitochondrial COXI gene. The molecular data were assessed in order to determine the number

of species present in each group and compare the results to those obtained during previous

surveys that have been undertaken for the these groups elsewhere in the Pilbara.

Executive summary

Sixty-two specimens from the Robe River Valley belonging to three taxonomic groups

were sequenced for variation at the COI gene.

Seventeen lineages were detected among the three groups.

The 17 lineages likely represent 17 species.

Four or five of the species have been detected previously in the Pilbara, whereas the

remainder appear to be new, based on the material available for comparison.

Results

Symphyla

Preliminary analysis - Reference sequences and outgroups

Nine specimens of Symphyla from the Robe Valley (historical, phase 3, phase 1 and 2 repeats)

were sequenced for COI (Table 18). Two specimens yielded a DNA sequence, and a search of

similar sequences on Genbank and in the Helix database indicated that one was most similar to

the family Scutigerellidae and the other to the family Scolopendrellidae. The specimens were

analysed with Genbank voucher specimens of Scutigerellidae as follows: Hanseniella sp.

(Genbank accession # AF370839) and Scutigerellidae sp. FRL-2015 (Genbank accession

#KP696391) as well as a Genbank voucher specimen of Scolopedrellidae, Symphylella sp. YG-

2006 (Genbank accession #EF576853). In addition, as local references, 26 reference specimens

of Symphyla from the Pilbara were included in the analysis. Two specimens of centipede

Scutigerina weberi (Genbank accession # DQ222166) and Scolopendra dawydoffi (Genbank

accession #KR705635) were used as outgroups.

Phylogenetic analysis

The phylogenetic analysis, which included the two specimens from the Robe Valley, in addition

to 29 reference specimens, placed the Robe Valley specimen in two distinct genetic lineages

(Figure 8). The new Robe Valley lineages did not contain reference specimens and so were

assigned to the new lineages SYM025 and SYM026 (Figure 8). Lineage SYM025 formed a poorly-

supported clade with the Genbank specimen of Scutigerellidae and five specimens from Upper

South Fortescue, Newman and Caramulla Creek in the Pilbara, three of which were assigned to

the genus Scutigerella on the basis of morphology (Figure 8). Lineage SYM026 formed a well-

supported clade with the Genbank specimen of Scolopendridae, and four specimens from

Newman, Turner River, Yeelirrie Station and Boundary River in the Pilbara (Figure 8).

Differentiation within and between lineages

Lineage SYM025 from Robe Valley differed from the reference specimens by between 15.0 and

28.1% sequence divergence and lineage SYM026 differed from the reference specimens by

between 16.7 and 29.5% sequence divergence (Table 19).

Chilopoda

Eleven specimens of Chilopoda from the Robe Valley (historical, Phase 3, Phase 1/2 repeat)

were sequenced for COI (Table 20). Sequences were obtained from five specimens and these

were analysed with eight Genbank vouchers from four families of Chilopoda: Cryptopidae,

Geophilidae, Mecistocephalidae (in the superfamily Geophilomorpha) and Scolopendridae as

follows: Cryptops japonicus (Genbank accession # AB610777), Cryptops pictus (Genbank

accession #JF273290) Cormocephalus multidens (Genbank accession # KF676531),

Scolopendra multidens (Genbank accession #AB614405), Gnathoribautia bonensis (Genbank

accession # KF569297), Geophilus flavus (Genbank accession # JN306685), Stenotaenia linearis

(Genbank accession # KR736251), and Mecistocephalus multidentatus (Genbank accession #

AB610774) as well as 23 reference specimens of Chilopoda from 12 sites in the Pilbara. Two

specimens of Onychophora, Metaperipatus inae (Genbank accession # HQ453464) and

Opisthopatus cinctipes (Genbank accession #NC014273) were used as outgroups.

Phylogenetic analysis

The phylogenetic analysis, which included the five specimens from the Robe Valley in addition

to 31 reference specimens, placed the Robe Valley specimens in five genetically distinct

lineages (Figure 9). The specimens were not placed in lineages containing reference

specimens, and were therefore assigned to the new lineages CHI021 – CHI025; Figure 9). Three

of the lineages (CHI021 – CHI023) were placed in a well-supported clade with Genbank and

Pilbara specimens of Cryptopidae (Figure 9). The remaining two lineages (CHI024, CHI025) were

placed outside of the main clade containing the Pilbara and reference specimens of both

Cryptopidae and Geophilomorpha, along with Genbank specimens of Scolopendridae (Figure

9).

Differentiation within and between lineages

The five Chilopoda lineages from Robe Valley differed from one another by between 20.0 and

30.5% sequence divergence and from the reference specimens by between 16.3 and 29.8%

sequence divergence (Table 21).

Coleoptera

Reference specimens and outgroups

Forty-two specimens of Coleoptera (historical, phase 3, phase 1/2 repeat) were sequenced for

COI (Table 22). In order to reduce analysis time and to simplify the presentation of results, a

preliminary neighbour-joining (NJ) analysis was conducted on the 42 Robe Valley Coleoptera

specimens. Ten distinct genetic lineages were detected (Figure 10) and haplotypes were

selected from each genetic lineage to include in a model-based phylogenetic analysis.

Following a preliminary search on Genbank and the Helix database (consisting of 122 COI

sequences of Coleoptera, including 23 provided by the WAM) for similar sequences, a

reference data set was selected consisting of ten Genbank voucher sequences of Coleoptera

as well as 40 reference specimens of Coleoptera from the Pilbara, including ten sequences

provided by the WAM, selected for their similarity to the Robe Valley specimens. Two specimens

of Hemiptera (Hemiptera sp. Genbank accession #GU671532) and Lycorma delicatula

(Genbank accession #EU909203) were used as outgroups.

Phylogenetic analysis

The phylogenetic analysis, which included the ten specimens from the Robe Valley in addition

to 52 reference specimens, placed the Robe Valley specimens in ten genetically distinct

lineages (Figure 11). Four of the ten lineages contained reference specimens and were

assigned to the existing lineages CAN001 (Anthicidae), CCU004 (Curculionidae), CPT003

(Ptillidae), CST002 (Staphylinidae), whereas the six remaining lineages did not contain other

reference specimens and were assigned to new lineages CCA012, CCA013 (Carabidae),

CCU007 (Curculionidae), CUN 001, CUN002, CUN003 (unknown families; Figure 11). However, all

of the new lineages did show significant relationships to reference specimens. Specifically,

lineages CCA012 and CCA013 were placed in well-supported clades containing reference

specimens of Carabidae and lineage CCU007 was placed in a well-supported clade

containing reference specimens of Curculionidae, allowing tentative taxonomic assignments to

those families (Figure 11). Lineages CUN001, CUN002 and CUN003 formed well-supported, but

more distant relationships with GenBank specimens of Dermestidae, Anthicidae and

Corylophidae, respectively, which may give starting points for future taxonomic investigation

(Figure 11).

4

The ten lineages of Coleoptera from the Robe Valley differed from one another by between

13.8 and 26.4% sequence divergence (Table 23). Distances between individuals within lineages

averaged between 0 and 1.3% (Table 24).

The Robe Valley lineages differed from the reference specimens by between 0 and 30.6%

sequence divergence (Table 25). In particular, four Robe Valley lineages (IV234, IV405, IV392,

IV422) differed from the nearest reference lineages by <1% (Table 25). IV232 differed from the

nearest reference specimen by 3.7% and the remaining five lineages from Robe Valley differed

from the reference specimens by > 10% (Table 25).

Conclusions

COXI is widely considered to show suitable variation to distinguish species (Hebert et al., 2003a).

In a comparison of COXI sequences for over 13,000 pairs of taxa, Hebert et al (2003b) found a

mean of 11.1% sequence divergence between distinct species. Nearly 80% of the comparisons

showed that species pairs differed from one another by greater than 8% sequence divergence.

However, a taxon by taxon approach, examining the amount of phylogenetic variation within

and between species is the most widely accepted method of defining species.

Symphyla

Two distinct genetic lineages were detected at the Robe Valley, both of which differed from

the reference specimens by >15%. This indicates that both lineages are likely to represent new

species, which have so far not been detected in the Pilbara, based on the material available

for comparison. One lineage, SYM025, appears to belong to the family Scutigerellidae,

although the relationship was not well supported in the phylogenetic analysis. The second

lineage, SYM026, is likely to belong to the Scolpendrellidae.

Chilopoda

Five genetically distinct lineages of Chilopoda were detected at the Robe River Valley. The five

lineages differed from one another by > 20% sequence divergence, thus each is likely to

represent a distinct species. None of the five lineages showed close genetic relationships to

reference specimens, differing from the references by >16.0% sequence divergence, thus the

five species are likely to be new, based on the material available for comparison. Lineages

CHI021 – CHI023 were placed with the Cryptopidae and appear to belong to that family. The

remaining two lineages cannot be reliably assigned to a family, owing to poorly resolved

relationships in the phylogenetic analysis, however, the sequence are most similar to specimens

of Scolopendridae in the Helix and Genbank reference datasets.

Coleoptera

Ten genetically distinct lineages of Coleoptera were detected at Robe Valley, differing from

one another by >13%, indicating that each represents a distinct species. Four of the ten

lineages (CCU004, CPT003, CST002 and CAN001) differed from the reference lineages by < 1%,

indicating that they represent species that have been detected previously. It is worth noting

that lineage CAN001 appears to be the introduced species Lasioderma serricorne, the

cigarette beetle, which is a worldwide pest of tobacco and grain crops. The possibility that this

species was a contaminant from field gear, vehicles, laboratories, etc, should be considered.

A fifth lineage (CCA012) differed from the nearest reference lineage (CCA001 from a previous

survey in the Robe Valley) by 3.7%, suggesting that it is likely to belong to that previously-

detected species, although further investigation may be required to resolve the relationship

between the two lineages.

The remaining five lineages differed from the reference lineages by >10% sequence

divergence, indicating that each is likely to represent a new species, which have so far not

been detected in the Pilbara, based on the material available for comparison. However, we

may have evidence to suggest taxonomic starting-points for these new lineages, based on

significant relationships to Pilbara and Genbank reference specimens. In particular, lineages

CCA013 and CCU007 appear to belong to the Carabidae and Curculionidae families,

respectively, which are both common in the Pilbara, and lineage CUN002 appears to belong to

the family Anthicidae, which has also been detected previously in the Pilbara, although we

have limited specimens in our sequence database. In contrast, lineages CUN001 and CUN003

show more distant relationships to Genbank specimens of Dermestidae and Corylophidae,

respectively. Both families are well-represented in Australia (Atlas of Living Australia).

Summary

Seventeen lineages from three taxonomic groups were detected at Robe Valley, as shown

below. The 17 lineages likely represent 17 species. Four or five of the species have been

detected previously in the Pilbara, The remaining species at Robe Valley are likely to be new,

based on the material available for comparison. One species of Coleoptera matched a

Genbank sequence of an introduced species, which is a world-wide pest of grain and tobacco

crops. The possibility that it was a contaminant from field gear, vehicles, laboratories, etc,

should be considered.

Symphyla

A single lineage was detected at Yandi, which differed from the reference specimens by >15%,

indicating that it is a new species, based on the material available for comparison.

Scutigerellidae (putative): SYM025 = one species

Scolopendridae: SYM026 = one species

Chilopoda

Five lineages were detected at Robe Valley, likely corresponding to five species. None of the

species have been detected previously in the Pilbara, based on the material available for

comparison.

Cryptopidae: CHI021, CHI022, CHI023 = three species

Scolopendridae (putative): CHI024, CHI025 = two species

Coleoptera

Ten lineages were detected in the present study, corresponding to ten distinct species. Two

species may belong to the Carabidae, two to the Curculionidae and one each to the

Staphylinidae, Ptillidae, Anthicidae and Aniobidae. The remaining two species could not be

placed into a family with confidence, however they showed significant relationships with

families that are well represented in Australia, namely the Dermestidae and Corylophidae. Five

species are likely to be new, based on the high genetic distances between them and the

reference material available for comparison, whereas the remaining five appear to have been

detected previously, although one species requires further investigation.

Carabidae: CCA012, CCA013 = two species

Curculiondiae: CCU004, CCU007 = two species

Anthicidae: CUN002 = one species

Ptillidae: CPT003 = one species

Staphylinidae: CST002 = one species

Aniobidae: CAN001 = one species (introduced)

Dermestide (putative): CUN001 = one species

Corylophidae (putative): CUN3 = one species

APPENDIX 1. WAM SHORT-RANGE ENDEMIC CATEGORIES

Taxonomic Certainty Taxonomic Uncertainty

Distribution < 10 000km2

Confirmed SRE • A known distribution of < 10 000km2.

• The taxonomy is well known.

• The group is well represented in

collections and/ or via

comprehensive sampling.

Potential SRE • Patchy sampling has resulted in

incomplete knowledge of the

geographic distribution of the group.

• We have incomplete taxonomic

knowledge.

• The group is not well represented in

collections.

• This category is most applicable to

situations where there are gaps in

our knowledge of the taxon.

Sub-categories for this SRE designation

are outlined below

Distribution > 10 000km2 Widespread (not an SRE)

• A known distribution of > 10 000km2.

• The taxonomy is well known.

• The group is well represented in

collections and/ or via

comprehensive sampling.

SRE SUB-CATEGORIES If a taxon is determined to be a “Potential SRE”, the following sub-categories will further elucidate this status.

A. Data Deficient:

• There is insufficient data available to determine SRE status.

• Factors that fall under this category include:

- New species.

- Lack of geographic information.

- Lack of taxonomic information.

- The group may be poorly represented in collections.

- The individuals sampled (e.g. juveniles) may prevent identification to species level.

B. Habitat Indicators:

• It is becoming increasingly clear that habitat data can elucidate SRE status.

• Where habitat is known to be associated with SRE taxa and vice versa, it will be noted here.

C. Morphology Indicators:

• A suite of morphological characters are characteristic of SRE taxa.

• Where morphological characters are known to be associated with SRE taxa and vice-versa,

it will be noted here.

D. Molecular Evidence:

• If molecular work has been done on this taxon (or a close relative), it may reveal patterns

congruent or incongruent with SRE status.

E. Research & Expertise:

• Previous research and/ or WAM expertise elucidates taxon SRE status.

• This category takes into account the expert knowledge held within the WAM.
