  • Floristic Patterns in Coastal Rainforest of Shoalwater Bay, Central Queensland
    362 Cunninghamia 8(3): 2004 McCarthy et al., Floristic patterns in coastal rainforest of Shoalwater Bay Floristic patterns in coastal rainforest of Shoalwater Bay, Central Queensland Peter McCarthy1, Peter Clarke2 and Jeremy Bruhl3 113 Knox St., Clovelly NSW 2031; 2Botany, School of Environmental Sciences and Natual Resources Management, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA; 3Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust, Mrs Macquaries Rd, Sydney NSW 2000, AUSTRALIA. Abstract: A study was undertaken of the floristic patterns in coastal rainforest (low closed forest) of Shoalwater Bay, central Queensland. The site encompasses 60 km of coastline, extending from latitude 22° 08’ 30’’ to 22° 30’ 0” and longitude 150° 02’ 00” to 150° 24’ 30”. The rainforest grows on coastal Holocene sand dunes, swales and sand flats, distributed as a series of 27 discrete patches greater than one hectare along 60 kilometres of coastline. Mean patch size was 10.7 hectares (maximum 150 hectares). The flora was predominantly woody, and lacked the complex growth forms of Webb (1968). Floristic links with central and north Queensland were strong, with some species distributions extending into Malesia and the Pacific. Three physical strata, emergent (composed of trees), canopy (composed of trees, vines and epiphytes) and sub-canopy (trees, vines and herbs) were recognised. The herb layer was very poorly developed. Eighty-one species were recorded, representing 42 families and 72 genera. Sixty three quadrats were sampled across the rainforest patches to measure abundance of all vascular taxa using frequency score. Five floristic groups were defined from agglomerative classification analysis, one representing mixed forest, two representing low microphyll vine forest (LMVF) and two representing microphyll vine thicket (MVT).

I am deeply grateful to all of the committed, cre- ative, and spirited employees (both on and off-island), board members, interns, community members, visitors and volun- teers who make the Hurricane Island Center for Science and Leadership possible. I am especially grateful to Cait Cleaver for her oversight and support throughout this process. Sam Hallowell, Pheobe Jekielek, Jenn Page, Oakley Jackson, Josie Gates, Micah Conkling, Alice Anderson, and Chloe Tremper were all incredibly gracious and helpful in integrating me into the every- day functions of the island and taking the time to lend me their own knowledge, experiences, and the occasional boat ride. I could not have asked for a better support team on the Vermont side, including my advisor, Dr. Jeff Hughes, and commit- tee members Dr. David Barrington and Dr. Josef Gorres. Their thoughtful comments, questions, and insistence on quality made this project a piece of work I am proud of. Their sincere interest in my professional and academic development is a gift whose value is beyond measure. 1 Executive Summary In the summer of 2015, I conducted an ecological assessment of Hurricane Island, a 125-acre island in the West Penobscot Bay of Maine.

  • New Species and New Records of American Lichenicolous Fungi
    DHerzogiaIEDERICH 16: New(2003): species 41–90 and new records of American lichenicolous fungi 41 New species and new records of American lichenicolous fungi Paul DIEDERICH Abstract: DIEDERICH, P. 2003. New species and new records of American lichenicolous fungi. – Herzogia 16: 41–90. A total of 153 species of lichenicolous fungi are reported from America. Five species are described as new: Abrothallus pezizicola (on Cladonia peziziformis, USA), Lichenodiplis dendrographae (on Dendrographa, USA), Muellerella lecanactidis (on Lecanactis, USA), Stigmidium pseudopeltideae (on Peltigera, Europe and USA) and Tremella lethariae (on Letharia vulpina, Canada and USA). Six new combinations are proposed: Carbonea aggregantula (= Lecidea aggregantula), Lichenodiplis fallaciosa (= Laeviomyces fallaciosus), L. lecanoricola (= Laeviomyces lecanoricola), L. opegraphae (= Laeviomyces opegraphae), L. pertusariicola (= Spilomium pertusariicola, Laeviomyces pertusariicola) and Phacopsis fusca (= Phacopsis oxyspora var. fusca). The genus Laeviomyces is considered to be a synonym of Lichenodiplis, and a key to all known species of Lichenodiplis and Minutoexcipula is given. The genus Xenonectriella is regarded as monotypic, and all species except the type are provisionally kept in Pronectria. A study of the apothecial pigments does not support the distinction of Nesolechia and Phacopsis.
