Distribution of the Black-eared Miner

The Black-eared Miner, Manorina melanotis, is an endangered honeyeater endemic to mallee woodland in south-eastern Australia. It is closely related to the much more widely distributed Yellow-throated Miner M. flavigula and the taxonomic status of the Black-eared Miner is the subject of some controversy, with some researchers considering it a subspecies of M. flavigula. Black-eared Miners are co-operative breeders, living in colonies during the breeding season, and dispersing into the bush during non-breeding periods. Little is known of their movements during these periods.

Conservation status

Black-eared Miners are listed as endangered on the Australian Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Their conservation status also varies from state to state within Australia. For example:

• The Black-eared Miner is listed as threatened on the Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act (1988).^[1] Under this Act, an Action Statement for the recovery and future management of this species has been prepared.^[2]

• On the 2007 advisory list of threatened vertebrate fauna in Victoria, the Black-eared Miner is listed as endangered.^[3]
