  • Amphibian Abundance and Detection Trends During a Large Flood in a Semi-Arid Floodplain Wetland
    Herpetological Conservation and Biology 11:408–425. Submitted: 26 January 2016; Accepted: 2 September 2016; Published: 16 December 2016.

We assessed frog diversity in the Macquarie Marshes, a semi-arid floodplain wetland of conserva- tion significance, identifying environmental variables that might explain abundances and detection of species. We collected relative abundance data of 15 amphibian species at 30 sites over four months, coinciding with a large natural flood. We observed an average of 39.9 ± (SE) 4.3 (range, 0-246) individuals per site survey, over 47 survey nights. Three non-burrowing, ground-dwelling species were most abundant at temporarily flooded sites with low- growing aquatic vegetation (e.g., Limnodynastes tasmaniensis, Limnodynastes fletcheri, Crinia parinsignifera). Most arboreal species (e.g., Litoria caerulea) were more abundant in wooded habitat, regardless of water permanency.

  • Vittadinia Muelleri & Vittadinia Burbidgeae
    Vittadinia muelleri & Vittadinia burbidgeae FAMILY: ASTERACEAE BOTANICAL NAME: Vittadinia muelleri (sensu lato), N.Burb., Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. 93: 440 fig.1D (1969) COMMON NAME: narrowleaf new-holland- daisy for Vittadinia muelleri and smooth new- holland-daisy for Vittadinia burbidgeae COMMONWEALTH STATUS: (EPBC Act) Not Listed TASMANIAN STATUS: (TSP Act) Vittadinia burbidgeae and Vittadinia muelleri (sensu stricto) were listed as rare in their own right in Vittadinia muelleri (broad sense) April 2016 in lieu of the original listing of H&A Wapstra. Vittadinia muelleri (broad sense). Description (Vittadinia muelleri broad sense) A tufted perennial herb between 12-15 cm tall. Leaves: The leaves are three lobed and almost hairless. Flowers: The flowers are small and mauve in colour with a yellow centre. Flowering is predominantly from November to May (Flora of Victoria). Fruit: The fruit is small, dry and leathery with a sparse covering of hairs and thickened margins. The pappus (ring of scales or hairs found on top of fruit) consists of barbed bristles. Herbarium specimens have been collected from September to March. Confusing species: This species is distinguished from Vittadinia gracilis and Vittadinia cuneata by its deeper mauve flowers and almost hairless leaves (description from Kirkpatrick et al. 1988). Since listing, this species was split into Vittadinia burbidgeae (a Tasmanian endemic) and Vittadinia muelleri (sensu stricto or narrow sense) (Gray & Rozefelds 2005). The parent taxon is often referred to as Vittadinia muelleri (broad sense or sensu lato). Distribution and Habitat On the mainland Vittadinia muelleri (broad sense) occurs in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. In Tasmania, this species is known from the driest and most fertile soils in the Hobart area and extending up into the Midlands (Kirkpatrick et al.
