Repeated Climate-Linked Host Shifts Have Promoted Diversification in a Temperate Clade of Leaf-Mining Flies
Repeated climate-linked host shifts have promoted SPECIAL FEATURE diversification in a temperate clade of leaf-mining flies Isaac S. Winklera,b,1, Charles Mitterb, and Sonja J.

Progress on the insect side has come from several recent ory, in turn, exemplifies one side of a broader debate about the reports plausibly attributing an instance of significantly elevated relative influence on clade dynamics of intrinsic (biotic) vs. extrinsic insect diversity to a co-occurring shift to a new host taxon (5, 10, (physical-environmental) forces. Here, we use a fossil-calibrated 11). Any single instance of elevated diversification, however, molecular chronogram to compare the effects of a major biotic could reflect other influences that happen to be confounded factor (repeated shift to a chemically divergent host plant clade) with the host shift. -
Background Detailed Flora and Vegetation Assessment
Our ref: EEN18041.003 Level 2, 27-31 Troode Street West Perth WA 6005 T +61 8 9211 1111 Date: 04 June 2019 Tanya McColgan Bellevue Gold Limited Suite 3, Level 3, 24 Outram Street WEST PERTH WA 6008 Dear Tanya, Flora and vegetation values identified within PoW 79431 In response to your request for the preliminary results of the detailed flora and vegetation assessment undertaken over the Bellevue Gold Project area, RPS Australia West Pty Ltd (RPS) herein provides a summary of the key results and outcomes of the assessment in lieu of the final report which is due in July. Background Bellevue Gold Ltd (Bellevue Gold) is currently undertaking an exploration drilling program within mining tenement M3625 for the Bellevue Gold Project (the Project). The Project is located in the north-eastern Goldfields; approximately 40 km north of the township of Leinster in the Shire of Leonora. The Project is situated on and surrounded by pastoral lands and is located on Yakabindie cattle station. RPS was commissioned by Bellevue Gold to undertake a detailed flora and vegetation assessment over M3625 and part of M3624 to encompass the area where exploration drilling is currently underway and including the potential mining and associated infrastructure footprint (the proposed development area). The survey area, the proposed development area and the PoW 79431 area are shown in Figure A. RPS understands that the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) and the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) have requested additional information regarding the natural values of the PoW area, where in-fill drilling is proposed, in order to adequately assess the PoW application. -

These categories are defined in Table 1. Any species identified as Threatened under the WC Act is assigned a threat category using the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List categories and criteria. Species that have not yet been adequately surveyed to warrant being listed under Schedule 1 or 2 are added to the Priority Flora or Fauna Lists under Priority 1, 2 or 3. Species that are adequately known, are rare but not threatened, or meet criteria for Near Threatened, or that have been recently removed from the threatened list for other than taxonomic reasons, are placed in Priority 4 and require regular monitoring. Conservation Dependent species and ecological communities are placed in Priority 5. -

Conservation Science W. Aust. 7 (2) : 363–376 (2009) Flora and vegetation of the banded iron formation of the Yilgarn Craton: Robinson Ranges and Mount Gould RACHEL MEISSNER1, GAYNOR OWEN1 & BEN BAYLISS1,2 1 Science Division, Department of Environment and Conservation, PO Box 51, Wanneroo, Western Australia, 6946. Email: [email protected] 2 Avon Natural Diversity Alliance (ANDA), Department of Environment and Conservation, Locked Bag 104,Bentley Delivery Centre WA 6983. ABSTRACT A quadrat based study of the flora and vegetation of the Robinson Ranges and Mount Gould, found 170 taxa including 1 weed taxon. Two priority taxa were recorded and two new taxa identified. Fifty quadrats were established to cover the major geographical, geomorphologic and floristic variation across the hills. Data from 49 of these quadrats were used to define seven community types. Differences in communities were strongly correlated with soil chemistry, elevation, amount of exposed bedrock, surficial rock size and slope. Several communities had restricted distributions. None the plant communities of Robinson Range or Mount Gould are currently in the secure conservation estate. INTRODUCTION by cyclonic activity off the Pilbara coast of Western Australia. Cyclones that cross the coast dissipate and The Robinson Ranges is located in the southern part of develop into rain bearing depressions which may bring the Gascoyne bioregion on the northern edge of the rain into the centre of the state. In addition, thunderstorms Yilgarn Craton. The ranges extend over 200 km, beginning may develop from convectional activity (Curry et al. 1994). near the Great Northern Highway, 140 km north of Winter rainfall is often the result of cold frontal activity Meekatharra, and extending west to Mount Padbury. -

They include common genera such as Acacia, Senna, Sida and Eremophila varieties that make up the bulk of the flora and vegetation of the Yakabindie tenements. These species are generally not salt tolerant, however may demonstrate tolerances to a wide variety of soil types with corresponding range of inferred geochemistry. -
