APPENDIX A: VERTEBRATE FAUNA OF JENOLAN KARST CONSERVATION RESERVE INTRODUCTION This appendix provides a list of vertebrate fauna (excluding fish) that currently occur or have previously been accurately recorded within the boundaries of JKCR. The list is based on records from the Atlas of NSW Wildlife extracted 14 June 2011, with additional species added to the list that are not recorded on the Atlas but were derived from other sources, as noted. Species that are only represented by records with high spatial inaccuracy, by unconfirmed sightings, probable misidentifications or database errors have been removed from this list (see Table 6 for a list of these species). Users should be aware that inaccurate records are still present in several wildlife databases, most notably the Atlas of NSW Wildlife and the Birds Australia databases. The lists provided below present all fauna confidently and accurately recorded within the reserve, whether historically or in the present. Some of these species no longer occur in the reserve. While others occur only in low numbers, visit on rare occasions or are vagrants. The scientific names and common names used in these tables and throughout this report follow those used in the Atlas of NSW Wildlife, which uses the Census of Australian Vertebrate Species (CAVS) codes. For each taxa the systematics derive from the following: for birds Christidis and Boles (2008); for mammals except bats Van Dyck and Strahan (2008); for bats Churchill (2008); for reptiles Wilson and Swan (2008); for amphibians Cogger (2000). The exception to this is threatened species, where nomenclature follows that used in the NSW Scientific Committee determinations to list each species.
