The large number, definition, varied application and validity of named Australian biogeographical regions reflect their ad hoc development via disparate methods or case study idiosyncracies. They do not represent a coherent system. In order to resolve these uncertainties an Australian Bioregionalisation Atlas is proposed as a provisional hierarchical classification, accounting for all known named areas. This provisional area taxonomy includes a diagnosis, description, type locality and map for each named area within the Australian continent, as well as a first-ever area synonymy. Akin to biological clas-sifications, this Atlas seeks to provision universality, objectivity and stability, such that biogeographers, macroecologists and geographers, can test existing areas as well as proposing novel areas. With such a formalised and comparative system in place, practitioners can analyse the definition and relationships of biotic areas, and putatively minimise ad hoc expla-nations.

Aim To relate patterns of distribution of marine echinoderms and decapods around southern Australia to major ecological and historical factors.Location Shallow-water (0–100 m) marine waters off southern Australia, south of 30° S.Methods (1) Record the presence/absence of known echinoderm and decapod species in cells of c. 1° latitude and longitude, along the coast of southern mainland Australia and Tasmania. (2) Describe patterns in species composition, species richness and endemism through gradient analysis, ordination and cluster analysis. (3) Relate these patterns to distance and temperature gradients, the area of continental shelf, the average size of species range, and known historical factors.Results Species composition varied with both latitude and longitude. Species richness was relatively constant from east to west but graded with latitude from high in the warm-temperate regions around Perth and Sydney to low in cool-temperate southern Tasmania. Species richness was not related to the area of continental shelf or average species range size. Species turnover was not correlated with rates of temperature change. It was problematic to separate distance from temperature gradients, but there was evidence that the southern distribution limits of some species are related to minimum sea surface temperature. Within the taxonomic groups surveyed, evolutionary radiation has been largely limited to a few cosmopolitan species-rich genera.Main conclusions There are historical as well as ecological hypotheses explaining the latitudinal gradient of marine species richness in southern Australia: (1) the continual invasion and speciation of species of tropical origin as Australia has split from Gondwana and drifted northward; (2) progressive extinction of some Gondwanan cool-temperate species at the limits of their range; (3) low level of immigration of additional cool-temperate species; and (4) some in situ endemic speciation.

THE CALYPSO DATABASE NUMBERING SYSTEM Although the numbering system in itself, is not primarily designed to carry retrievable information some useful points can be gleaned from it if certain concepts of the system are known to the reader. It must clearly be emphasised however that the material extracted in this way is not to be construed as totally accurate and is only intended as a rough guide. (The full database should always be checked in addition to the information extracted in this fashion). The Ichthyological Database Code is divisible into two sets of three numbers and information may be extracted by examining the first set of three numbers which , for a validated species , will always commence with the numbers 0 or 9. Numbers commencing with 0 represent primarily marine species. Numbers commencing with 9 represent primarily freshwater species. Numbers commencing with any other number are temporary allocations (see below) The second of the three numbers will indicate the approximate geographic area from which the species was recorded onto the database. These numbers will give differing information depending on whether the first number was 0 or 9. If a 0 then this will denote a sea area whereas if a 9 this will denote a continental area. For Example; Prefixes 090 to 099 denote Indo-Pacific marine species, whereas Prefixes 990 to 998 denote an Asian freshwater species. (This does not preclude either, or both , species occurring in any - or all other areas , although they will only ever carry one species number.) For the first two numbers , areas are designated as follows: 01- , Primarily Mediterranean / Black Sea 91- , Southern Europe 02- , Primarily European North Atlantic 92- , Europe 03- , Primarily North American / Canadian / Arctic 93- , North America 04- , Primarily East African / Red Sea / Persian Gulf 94- , Africa 05- , Primarily West African / Central Atlantic 95- , Middle-East ** 06- , Primarily Caribbean / S.E. U.S.A. 96- , Caribbean / S.E. U.S.A. 07- , Primarily South American / S.W.Atlantic 97- , South America 08- , Primarily Australian / Southern Ocean 98- , Australasia 09 -, Primarily Pacific / Indian Ocean 99- , Asia ** Area 95- , Includes: Turkey, Central Asia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, The Gulf States, Lebanon and Israel The third number of either of the above two series is a check digit to ensure that where the succeeding group of three numbers have been issued more than once - but in different areas, that they cannot be confused when both species carrying the succeeding three numbers are also present in the same area or publications covering that area. We have sufficient free space in the database species numbering system to uniquely number all recorded species to date. The full freshwater database numbers can sometimes be useful in enabling the reader to identify and differentiate between introduced and native species. - This can be done by checking the second digit of the six digit number. TEMPORARY DATABASE NUMBERS Where a species name is available but the validity of that particular species or sub species is open to doubt or may shortly be altered we issue temporary database numbers. The temporary numbers have been allocated unique prefixes to differentiate between them and the permanently allocated database number. These three digit prefixes will all be within the following group:222, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777 , 888 or 999 No significance can be attached to these number groups.. Database Area Codings Databases carry codings relating to area distributions as follows:Please note: Area Distribution data is not complete for many species as the master database is not yet completed worldwide. Area codings can only therefore be used as an approximate indicator. A = Asian Freshwater Fishes Database (940 000 - 949 000) B C = North-Eastern Atlantic (Gibraltar to Norway) Marine Database (020-029) D = South-Eastern Atlantic / West African Coast Marine Database (Morocco to Angola) (050-059) E = South American / S.W.Atlantic Marine Database (070-079F = European Freshwater Database (920929) G = New Guinea Freshwater & Marine Database (080-089) plus (980-989) H I = Arabian Sea Database (040-049) J= Southern Africa / Southern Ocean K L M = Mediterranean Marine Database (010-019) N = Northern Australia Freshwater & Marine Database (080-089) plus (980-989) O = Unused P = Indian Ocean / Pacific (General) (090-099) Q = North - Western Australia and Queensland Freshwater & Marine Database (080-089) plus (980-989) R S = Southern Australia Freshwater & Marine Database (080-089) plus (980-989) The Tasmanian species are listed under S or V or both T = Western Central Atlantic & Caribbean Database (060-069) U = North-Western Atlantic Marine & North American Freshwater Databases (030-039) plus (930-939) V = South - Eastern Australia Freshwater & Marine Database (080-089) plus (980-989) The Tasmanian species are listed under S or V or both W = Western Australia Freshwater & Marine Database (080-089) plus (980-989) X = South -Western Australia Freshwater & Marine Database (080-089) plus (980-989) Y Z = Five or more (Worldwide) Databases A Word from Calypso... The taxonomic information on the enclosed disk has been extracted from the Calypso Ichthyological Database of the World's Fishes . An introductory booklet to this system is also published as a separate document (ISBN 0906301 47 5) Information on the main database is necessarily stored on several different smaller databases and some of the material on these databases has not yet been uniformly organised. Although this fact in no way affects the validity of the information provided here, an explanation of these minor anomalies was felt necessary. Database Identification Numbers invariably consist of six numerals in a three + three format, and each number is unique to a particular Species - even if the species name is changed at a later date the number remains valid. The species numbers can convey additional limited information in themselves and a sheet giving a breakdown of this information is also enclosed. Later disks may include this information under 'help'. Some numbers in some contexts are suffixed by a letter but this letter will probably only be of use in the context of written publications. Species Names are those most frequently employed in modem usage The Reference Authority given for the species name is as accurate as current information allows. We have had to override some conventions, however, in the presentation of this particular information. The Sunbird search engine originally used for the Calypso Ichthyological Database information allowed us to increase indexing power by removing some text features in certain areas - thus comma’s are absent in the reference authorities Due to the previously mentioned amalgamation of source information, some authorities whose names were not originally anglicised may have their names spelt in several different forms .The commonest variation is that many wellrecognised ichthyologists have had their names abbreviated - a not uncommon convention , which has been the case since Linnaeus became Linn. then L. In some cases the name will appear with a variation in the spelling This is often because we have been true to source material in this respect, and have not Anglicised names where this has not been done previously. In some material, for example, Forskael may appear thus, or as Forskal, or be abbreviated to Forsk. The Family shown is again, the most commonly encountered, and generally there is a great deal of consensus in this category. However, there are exceptions, and when several family names are in general usage throughout the range of the given species, then all commonly used names are listed. For example :- Maenidae /Centracanthidae / Emmelichthyidae As database compilers it is not within our remit to favour one above others, and we are always pleased to hear from ichthyologists working in this area with a view to continuously reviewing the information contained on the database. English Name(s) are, where applicable those in general usage. It must be remembered that many names vary according to location, and we have not included, for example, American or Australian names in this section. Many Indian species have, however, been allocated English names within the subcontinent, and we have used these for species where no currently used ‘western’ English name is available. We are indebted to T. Venkateswarlu of the Zoological Survey of India, Madras, for his contribution to this section. American and Australian names are used in the databases for their respective areas, in addition to any currently used English names Scientific Synonyms or other ‘AIso Known As' (A.KA's) if still used in parts of the species' range or recent text; or by authorities who are seeking an alteration in the current nomenclature in the light of recent scientific advances, are also given. We have limited the listed synonyms to a maximum of five per species, although the full database may contain many more on any given species. Frequency information (where given) is to be interpreted as the most up-todate frequency for that Species IN THE GIVEN AREA - Thus the frequency figure for Lobotes surinamensis in the Mediterranean database will probably vary for the frequency figure given for the same species in the Indo-Pacific. Range information (if any is given)is repeated from our source material. In political terms. many areas have changed names since records began. We have not attempted to modernise the terminology used, thus Sri Lanka still appears as Ceylon in some entries, and many of the newer states are listed under their former names. Sizes given are averages of the maximum recorded sizes compiled from as many sources as possible. All have been converted to metric units, & where very pronounced differences are sexually dimorphically based this is also noted. In addition to the above, brief notes on particular points may be shown, as may an indication of the species' presence in databases for other areas (see also the database number for information on this last point). Where a very wideranging species is encountered space dictates that the entry may only read “ Occurs in five or more other database areas.” Full Databases are completed for Mediterranean Fishes , European Sea Fishes, European Freshwater Fishes, Asian Freshwater Fishes , Arabian Sea & Freshwater Fishes , Indian Ocean Fishes , The Sea & Freshwater Fishes of Australia & New Guinea [the latter as as two units), Caribbean & Western Central Atlantic, and the Eastern Central Atlantic & West African Coast.
