  • Vascular Flora and Vegetation Classification of the South Atlantic Coastal Plain Limestone Forest Association of Central Georgia
    VASCULAR FLORA AND VEGETATION CLASSIFICATION OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN LIMESTONE FOREST ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL GEORGIA by PATRICK SUMNER LYNCH (Under the Direction of J.L. Hamrick) ABSTRACT The South Atlantic Coastal Plain Limestone forest is a globally imperiled (G2) forest association known only from the upper Coastal Plain of central Georgia. These calcareous forest communities support diverse floristic assemblages unique among the Georgia Coastal Plain, but have not been subject to detailed floristic study. I conducted a comprehensive floristic inventory, multivariate community analyses and floristic quality assessments to document composition, elucidate community structure and underlying physiographic regimes, and assess habitat integrity for seven sites in Houston, Bleckley and Twiggs counties. Community analyses revealed twelve community types within two floristically defined domains corresponding to uplands and slopes, and bottomlands, respectively, and governed largely by moisture content and degree of inclination. Floristic quality assessments revealed varying degrees of floristic quality and habitat integrity corresponding primarily to local physiography and disturbance history. Floristic inventory recovered 339 vascular plant taxa representing 218 genera in 98 families, including 17 rare Georgia species.

    EPA advice for APP203667 Staff Assessment Report APP203667: An application to import and release the moth plant beetle (Freudeita confer cupripennis) as a biological control agent for the weed moth plant (Araujia hortorum). Purpose An application to import and release the moth plant beetle, Freudeita cf. cupripennis, as a biological control agent for the weed moth plant, Araujia hortorum Application number APP203667 Application type Notified, Full Release Applicant Waikato Regional Council Date formally received 17 January 2019 1 EPA advice for APP203667 Executive Summary and Recommendation In January 2019, Waikato Regional Council submitted an application to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) seeking pre-approval to release the moth plant beetle, Freudeita cf. cupripennis, as a biological control agent (BCA) for the weed moth plant, Araujia hortorum. The application was publicly notified. The EPA received 53 submissions, 23 submissions supported the application, four submissions neither supported nor opposed and 26 submissions opposed the application. The EPA assessed the risks, costs and benefits of the release of F. cf. cupripennis in the context of the environment, market economy, people and communities, public health and on the relationship of Māori and their culture and traditions with their ancestral lands, water, sites, wāhi tapu, valued flora and fauna, and other taonga. The EPA assessed that there are no direct or tangible risks to public health from the release of the moth plant beetle and this was not considered in the assessment. Regarding the environment, we assessed the benefits from the release of the moth plant beetle and found that the BCA is unlikely to reduce the use of chemicals since only a small quantity of herbicide gel is used and that broad spectrum-herbicides would continue to be used to treat other weeds.

The ‘needlegrasses’ are char- acterized by having single-flowered spikelets and stout, terminally-awned lem- mas. We conducted a molecular phylogenetic study of the Stipeae (including all genera except Anemanthele) using a total of 94 species (nine species were used as outgroups) based on five plastid DNA regions (trnK-5’matK, matK, trnHGUG-psbA, trnL5’-trnF, and ndhF) and a single nuclear DNA region (ITS).

  • Satin Azure Ogyris Amaryllis Meridionalis
    Butterfly GardeningFact sheet Lycaenidae family Satin Azure Ogyris amaryllis meridionalis Also known as: Amaryllis Azure Abundance in Adelaide area: Common Flight: Aug – early Apr Wingspan: m 34 mm; f 34 mm Mature larva length: 21–27 mm If you ever encounter this butterfly flying in the sun you will see brilliant blue flashes as the sunlight reflects off its highly metallic wings. As with all the Azure butterflies, they do not open their wings when at rest. As a result, the Satin Azure virtually disappears as the wings are folded to display camouflage colours. For its caterpillar food plant, the Satin Azure prefers Wire-leaf Mistletoe (Amyema preissii), which grows on some Acacia species, but it will use other mistletoes. This butterfly is associated Mistletoe (Amyema miraculosa ssp. boormanii) on with various species of small black ants. It is most Myoporum, Santalum and others, Grey Mistletoe likely to be seen near its food plants, but males (Amyema quandang var. quandang) on Western move to and fly over nearby hilltops. The species Myall (Acacia papyrocarpa). is uncommon in the Adelaide Hills, but is present over most of the state of South Australia. A stunning butterfly, this is another mistletoe feeding member of the Azure group. The colour Caterpillar food plants: Mistletoes (Amyema of the butterfly is a very bright, shining blue spp.) The caterpillars eat the flowers and leaves. with narrow black margins on the upper surface, and a mottled black and brown cryptic pattern Adelaide native species: Wire-leaf Mistletoe underneath.
