In 1988 and 1989 an expedition was conducted on the islands of the eastern Recherche Archipelago; they included Middle, Goose, Bellinger and Daw islands. The expedition was conducted to collect species lists of vascular plants and vertebrates from as many islands as possible. The Recherche Archipelago Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

Under the Biodiversity Conservation Initiative of the Science Division of the Department of Parks and Wildlife, Western Australia, Western Australia funding was provided for a floristic survey of the Ravensthorpe Range. Phase 1 of this survey involved the establishment of 200 permanent quadrats covering the geomorphologic, geologic and floristic variation across the range. The data resulting from Phase 1 of the the survey is intended to more fully document the conservation values of the range and provide a regional context to assess any proposed developments. Phase 1 of this survey was undertaken by the consulting firm Western Botanical (http://www.westernbotanical.com.au/). Phase 2 of this survey involved the establishment of a further 66 permanent quadrats and a detailed analysis of the compositional vegetation patterns across the range based on all 266 quadrats. Phase 2 field observation and analysis was undertaked by DPaW Science Division staff. Phase 2 of the Ravensthorpe Range Survey is not currently published in TERN AEKOS.
