RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
A survey of the diatom (Bacillariophyceae) populations in 14 lakes and ponds on sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island identified 102 species from 34 genera, including species considered endemic to the sub-Antarctic region. Multivariate analysis of the diatom communities divided the lakes into two broad groups; oligotrophic plateau lakes dominated by species including Bmchysira exilis, Fragilaria capucina var. gracilis, Psammothidium abundans, Ps. confosum and Ps. confusum var. atomoides, and lowland peat-based lakes dominated by species including Fragilaria pulchella, Planothidium lanceolatum and Pl. quadripunctatum. Factors relating to lake elevation rather than water pH or conductivity appeared to have most influence on the lake diatom communities.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
