    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

Jackes Magnetic Island (190 08 S, 1480 50 E), offshore from the north Queensland city of Townsville, was first named by Captain James Cook in 1770. He called it “Magnetical Point, land which has the appearance of an island”, because his compass moved erratically as he passed it. This large island, about 5,000 ha in area, rises to 493 m at Mt Cook, the highest point.

Assessment of new biocontrol agents of Parkinsonia Abstract MLA contracted CSIRO (2010-2013) to assess potential new biocontrol agents of parkinsonia, a serious weed of the northern beef industry. The objectives were to select the top three species and conclusively determine whether they are suitable for release and to submit release applications. We exceeded these objectives by determining the suitability of the ten previously-identified highest priority agents. Six were rejected based entirely onnative range work and five (including a new species) were assessed further in an Australian quarantine facility. Of the latter two were shown to be suitable biocontrol agents, both looper caterpillars (family Geometridae). The first of these, Eueupithecia cisplatensis, has been approved for release and the first releases have been made in northern Australia; it is too early to know the results of these releases.

  • A Co-Evolutionary Relationship Exists Between Endoraecium (Pucciniales) and Its Acacia Hosts in Australia
    Persoonia 35, 2015: 50–62 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/pimj RESEARCH ARTICLE http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/003158515X687588 A co-evolutionary relationship exists between Endoraecium (Pucciniales) and its Acacia hosts in Australia 1,2,3 1,4 1 5 2 A.R. McTaggart , C. Doungsa-ard , A.D.W. Geering , M.C. Aime , R.G. Shivas Key words Abstract Endoraecium is a genus of rust fungi that infects several species of Acacia in Australia, South-East Asia and Hawaii. This study investigated the systematics of Endoraecium from 55 specimens in Australia based Atelocauda on a combined morphological and molecular approach. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted on partitioned endocyclic rusts datasets of loci from ribosomal and mitochondrial DNA. The recovered molecular phylogeny supported a recently Mimosoideae published taxonomy based on morphology and host range that divided Endoraecium digitatum into five species. Racospermyces Spore morphology is synapomorphic and there is evidence Endoraecium co-evolved with its Acacia hosts. The Raveneliaceae broad host ranges of E. digitatum, E. parvum, E. phyllodiorum and E. violae-faustiae are revised in light of this Uredinales study, and nine new species of Endoraecium are described from Australia based on host taxonomy, morphology and phylogenetic concordance.

  • The Role of Biome Shifts in Lineage Diversification
    The Role of Biome Shifts in Lineage Diversification Esther Elizabeth Dale Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Botany, University of Otago November 2018 II Abstract This thesis examines the role of biomes in lineage diversification. It explores whether biome conservatism, the tendency to remain in ancestral biomes, constrains diversification, and tests whether biome shifts are linked to characteristics of particular biomes, clades or traits. This work focuses on a series of radiations in Australia and New Zealand. Using the hyper-diverse genus Acacia in Australia, Species Distribution Models (SDM) were used to predict distributions and niche traits of 481 species in 19 clades across two biome typologies. Diversification was not constrained to any biomes, with most species (94%) occupying multiple biomes, but diversification was greatest in those biomes currently occupying larger areas. New Zealand groups (Poaceae, Melicytus, Myrsine and Pseudopanax) with small scale radiations (< 25 species) were then investigated in relation to occupancy of the three main biomes (Forest, Open and Alpine). A temporal sequence of biome availability in New Zealand allowed an examination of diversification in the context of the directional transition from forest to more open biomes. A combination of methods including SDM, biogeographical models, and trait measurements of plants grown in a common garden were utilised to explore the importance of biome shifts during diversification, the relationship between trait shifts and biome shifts, and ask if biome conservatism was prevalent in the different clades. Biome conservatism did not constrain diversification in New Zealand lineages. Biome shifts were generally frequent and more closely related to extrinsic biome factors like biome age, biome availability and relative environmental similarity between biomes, rather than to intrinsic features of lineages, such as clade size, diversification rate or age.

  • An Investigation of a Process for Environmental Banking Appropriate to Queensland
    An Investigation of a Process for Environmental Banking appropriate to Queensland by Michelle Gane A dissertation submitted for the degree of Masters of Applied Science School of Urban Development and Institute for Sustainable Resources Queensland University of Technology 2010 i Keywords Compensatory wetland mitigation banking Conservation banking Environmental banking Offsets Vegetation management ii Abstract This thesis examines the advanced North American environmental mitigation schemes for their applicability to Queensland. Compensatory wetland mitigation banking, in particular, is concerned with in-perpetuity management and protection - the basic concerns of the Queensland public about its unique environment. The process has actively engaged the North American market and become a thriving industry that (for the most part) effectively designs, creates and builds (or enhances) environmental habitat. A methodology was designed to undertake a comprehensive review of the history, evolution and concepts of the North American wetland mitigation banking system - before and after the implementation of a significant new compensatory wetland mitigation banking regulation in 2008. The Delphi technique was then used to determine the principles and working components of wetland mitigation banking. Results were then applied to formulate a questionnaire to review Australian market- based instruments (including offsetting policies) against these North American principles. Following this, two case studies established guiding principles for implementation based on two components of the North American wetland mitigation banking program. The subsequent outcomes confirmed that environmental banking is a workable concept in North America and that it is worth applying in Queensland. The majority of offsetting policies in Australia have adopted some principles of the North American mitigation programs.
