  • Resource Partitioning Among Five Sympatric Mammalian Herbivores on Yanakie Isthmus, South- Eastern Australia

    Resource Partitioning Among Five Sympatric Mammalian Herbivores on Yanakie Isthmus, South- Eastern Australia

    Resource partitioning among five sympatric mammalian herbivores on Yanakie Isthmus, south- eastern Australia Naomi Ezra Davis Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2010 Department of Zoology The University of Melbourne i Abstract This thesis combines multiple approaches to improve our understanding of large herbivore ecology and organisation in a contemporary assemblage made up of species with independent evolutionary histories on Yanakie Isthmus, Wilsons Promontory National Park, Victoria, Australia. In particular, this thesis compares niche parameters among populations of five sympatric native and introduced herbivore species by simultaneously assessing overlap in resource use along two dimensions (spatial and trophic) at multiple scales, thereby providing insight into resource partitioning and competition within this herbivore assemblage. Faecal pellet counts demonstrated that inter-specific overlap in herbivore habitat use on Yanakie Isthmus was low, suggesting that spatial partitioning of habitat resources had occured. However, resource partitioning appeared to be independent of coevolutionary history. Low overlap in habitat use implies low competition, and the lack of clear shifts in habitat use from preferred to suboptimal habitats suggested that inter-specific competition was not strong enough to cause competitive exclusion. However, low overlap in habitat use between the European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus and other species, and preferential use by rabbits (and avoidance by other species) of the habitat that appeared to have the highest carrying capacity, suggested that rabbits excluded other grazing herbivores from preferred habitat. High overlap in habitat use was apparent between some species, particularly grazers, indicating some potential for competition if resources are limiting.

EPACRIS STUDY GROUP Group Leader: Gwen Elliot, P.O.Box 655 Heathmont Vic. 3135 NEWSLETTER NO. 30 (ISSN 1038-6017) Greetings to all Epacris Study Group members, Regular readers of our Newsletters will have noticed the following note which was added to page 1 of our Autumn 2010 issue, just prior to it going to press. NOTE: I have just received in the post an envelope addressed to the Epacris Study Group, posted from Hobart on May Znd, 2010. Unfortunately the envelope was slit along the bottom and was totally empty. There was no information regarding the sender, but ifyou have sent such a letter in recent days, please let me know, and perhaps cancel any cheque sent. Fortunately all turned out well in the end, as the next morning an Epacris Study Group renewal form was delivered with a $5 note stapled to the corner. Our very nice Post Office manager advised that it had been found on the floor of the district sorting office. He went on to explain that many of today's envelopes have a very effective self-sealing strip and if there is any air left in the envelope when the seal is fastened envelopes can 'pop' at the bottom as they go through the rollers of the sorting machines. This is certainly something I had not personally considered previously, but I felt it is very useful information for us all to be aware of. All of my letters will be squashed down firmly in future to avoid this potential problem.

Giant Eucalypts sent back to the rainforest By Rachel Sullivan Abstract: Dual mycorrhizal associations of jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) in a nurse-pot system The Eucalypt's survival secret By Danny Kingsley Plant Profile; Corymbia gummifera By Tony Popovich Eucalyptus ×trabutii By Warwick Varley SUBSCRIPTION TIME Do Australia's giant fire-dependent trees belong in the rainforest? By EurekAlert! Australia's giant eucalyptus trees are the tallest flowering plants on earth, yet their unique relationship with fire makes them a puzzle for ecologists. Now the first global assessment of these giants, published in New Phytologist, seeks to end a century of debate over the species' classification and may change the way it is managed in future. Gigantic trees are rare. Of the 100,000 global tree species only 50, less than 0.005 per cent, reach over 70 metres in height. While many of the giants live in Pacific North America, Borneo and similar habitats, 13 are eucalypts endemic to Southern and Eastern Australia. The tallest flowering plant in Australia is Eucalyptus regnans, with temperate eastern Victoria and Tasmania being home to the six tallest recorded species of the genus.

BMC Res Notes (2015) 8:276 DOI 10.1186/s13104-015-1258-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Antimicrobial activity of customary medicinal plants of the Yaegl Aboriginal community of northern New South Wales, Australia: a preliminary study Joanne Packer1, Tarannum Naz1, Yaegl Community Elders, David Harrington1, Joanne F Jamie1 and Subramanyam R Vemulpad1* Abstract Background: This study is a collaboration between Macquarie University researchers and the Yaegl Aboriginal Com- munity of northern NSW, Australia to investigate the antimicrobial potential of plants used in the topical treatment of wounds, sores and skin infections. Based on previously documented medicinal applications, aqueous and aqueous ethanolic extracts of Alocasia brisbanensis, Canavalia rosea, Corymbia intermedia, Hibbertia scandens, Ipomoea brasilien- sis, Lophostemon suaveolens and Syncarpia glomulifera and the aqueous extracts of Smilax australis and Smilax glyci- phylla were tested against common wound pathogens, including antibiotic resistant bacterial strains. Methods: Plant material was prepared as aqueous extractions modelled on customary preparations and using 80% aqueous ethanol. Extracts were assayed against a selection of clinically relevant Gram positive (Streptococcus pyogenes and sensitive and resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium) bacteria and a fungus (Candida albicans) using disc diffusion and MTT microdilution methods.
