Camels in central Australia: Widespread and abundant “Impacts on waterbodies and plants can be considerable” Eight years ago Traditional Owners near Uluru suggested some waterholes “need help” because of camel impacts

More importantly, what will happen after control efforts implemented?
In the NT: Monitoring will focus on assessing camel impacts in key environmental asset areas, with a focus on:
1. key wetland habitats 2. vegetation

If feral camels aren’t killing trees and shrubs, how are they affecting them?
tree (“disturbance-sensitive”) shrub (“resprouters”)

Arid Waterbodies Worldwide: Precious Jewels of the Desert
provide reliable water in desert landscapes often biological hotspots
often provide habitat for rare, relict and endemic species are important areas for terrestrial animals and plants
among the most threatened ecosystems on the planet
and in central Australia, most waterbodies are extremely important to the local people
Why care if “Impacts on waterbodies can be considerable”

Our ancestral lands and water sites are being wrecked and ruined by feral animals.
Our water sites are wrecked; camels, donkeys, cattle, horses tracks and pads
start to erode and erosion becomes gullies.
The country is suffering pretty bad. The top fertile soil gets blown or washed.
Nothing much grows there anymore. -- Veronica Dobson, Traditional Owner

Why use macroinvertebrates to investigate camel impacts? 1) widely distributed.
2) commonly used in toxicity testing.
3) often exposed directly to stressors in waterbodies.
4) are integral components of wetland food webs for wildlife.
5) are often used in citizen wetland monitoring programs.
AND: Aquatic animals are threatened globally, partly because many are sensitive to poor water quality

• Higher turbidity (muddy water) • Lower species richness • Fewer sensitive species • Fewer predatory invertebrates
• Fewer species with gills
• Lower turbidity (clearer water) • Higher species richness • More sensitive species • More predatory invertebrates
• More species with gills
Why care? Biodiversity, lots of “new” species out there.
