A synecological survey of the floral- relationships in a range of saline habitats was foll-owed by an autecologicat study of. Ruppia t., a genus of submerged halophytes. OnIy two genera of angiosperms occur above a salinity of o/oo o,/oo 4 TDSz Rt'Lpp'ía is found in waters from 3 to 230 TDS and o/oo LepiLaern Drumm. ex Harvey from 3 to 50 tOS. Both occur in permanent and ephemeral ha-bitats, in pure and mixed stands and in the u¡derstorey of emergent salt marsh communities. The plant associations of a salt marsh, a saline lake and a fresh lake were compared by means of morphometric and vegetation maps and quadrat and biomass sampling. For the Lake Eliza Salt Marsh community twelve pì-ant associations were delimited by species composition, and mapping of these associations shows that their distribution is related to small increases in efevation, which total 0.5 m height above the lake l-evel- over 500 m distance from the shore. Annual and perennial growth forms of Ruppia were observed and the genetii or ecological bases of these growth form differences were examined further. A systematic survey indicated the presence of three species, two annuals, RuppiA tttbenOsa Davis and Tomlinson and, Ruppiq. poLucØ'pa Mason, and one perennial, Rlppia mega'ca.r'pa Mason, none of v¡hich has previously been recognised in South Àustrafia. Both annuaÌ species have asexual perennating organs (turions) t .structures that have not been recorded for this genus outside Australia - Transplantation, germination and salinity experiments were used to examine the differences between annual and perennial growth forms. The wide salinity tolerance of all three species v¡as con- firmed. Under experimental conditions annual and perennial growth forms did not alter in alternate habitats. Decrease in salinity had a positive effect on the germination of the perennial .R. mega'carpa whereas increase ín salinity and the wetting and drying of seeds broke the dormancy of the annual .R. tubez'osa seeds. Explanations advanced to exptain the ability of this species to withsta¡d harsh and fluctuating environments were examined by analyses of life cycles, reproductive patterns and osmoregulatory mechanisms of the three species of. Ruppia l-rL DECLARATION This thesis contains no material wh\-ch has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously pr:blished or written by another person, except where due reference is made in the text. turþ ,/1"¿ ( '.+ t_v. ACKNOVTLEDGEMENTS I thank Professor V¡.D. Williams for the opportunity to under- take this study, for the use of facilities in the Department of ZooLogy and for his supervision of this project. Such an ecological - and botanical - study would certainly not have been possible without the help of experts in many fields and the use of facilities in other departments a¡d institutions. I thank, most sincerely, all those people who have helped in discussions and with practical matters; j-n particular f acknowledge - taxonomic d-iscussions with Drs S. Jacobs (National Herbarium of New South lrlales) and J. Jessop (fhe State Herbarium of South Australia) and the help of The State Herbarium of South Austratia in the identification of plants, - anatomical discussions with Moira Robinson and the use of the r{ax-sectioning facilities in the Department of Botany, - Dr D. Aspinall (Department of P1ant Physiology, lrfaite Agrícultura1 Research Institute) for the use of facilities for proline analysis, and Gerard Faber for patiently teaching me the techniques, - the X-ray diffractometer analysis of sediment samples by John Warren (Flinders University), - the use of surveying eguipment from the Department of Civil Engineering and the help of Andrew Close with t}le field surveying, - the constructÍon of field and Ia-boratory egui¡.rment by Terry MacKenzie. In the preparation of the thesis, credit is due to Julie Francis for the competently-prepared final drafts of figures, to Peter Kl.opotowski (F1inders Medical Centre) and PhiIlip Kempster for their invaluabl-e assistance with the photography and to Maggie Fisher for her patience in the arduous taslc of converting my copy to a professional typescript. I also tha¡k the secretarial staff of the Department of Zoology for typing the final draft of Chapters l- to 4 and the text- of Chapter 5. v. The continued, encouragement and co.m¡nents of Drs John Bishop (ex University of Adelaide) and Brian Moss (University of East Anglia) throughout arl stages of this study saved me from many a disastrous decision. AIl my friends must take for their and encouragement, "tä¿it help especiarry on fierd trips and in the preparation of this thesis: r thank particularly Alice fùel1s, Carol McKenzie and Maggie Fisher and arr the 'fierd workers' who hetped me enjoy the evenings around the campfire in the Little Dip Conservation park.

Daru) Running head: Phylogenetic regionalization of seagrasses 1 Abstract While our knowledge of species distributions and diversity in the terrestrial biosphere has increased sharply over the last decades, we lack equivalent knowledge of the marine world. Here, we use the phylogenetic tree of seagrasses along with their global distributions and a metric of phylogenetic beta diversity to generate a phylogenetically-based delimitation of marine phytoregions (phyloregions). We then evaluate their evolutionary affinities and explore environmental correlates of phylogenetic turnover between them. We identified 11 phyloregions based on the clustering of phylogenetic beta diversity values. Most phyloregions can be classified as either temperate or tropical, and even geographically disjunct temperate regions can harbor closely related species assemblages.

ABSTRACT This thesis introduces the reader to rock music in Durban from 1963 to 1985, tracing the development of rock in Durban from rock'n'roll to hard core punk. Although the thesis is historically orientated, it also endeavours to show the relationship of rock music in Durban to three central themes, viz: the relationship of rock in Durban to the socio-political realities of apartheid in South Africa; the role of women in local rock, and the identity crisis experienced by white, English-speaking South Africans.

Coulter’s collections in TCD are less well known than partial duplicate sets at other herbaria. He was the first botanist to cross the desert of southern California to the Colorado River. Coulter’s collections in TCD include not only 60 vascular plant specimens previously unidentified as type material but also among the first moss andmarine algae specimens known to be collected in California.
