ISBN 1 74137 387 5 August 2005 DEC 2005/238 Printed on recycled paper Approved Recovery Plan Uromyrtus australis Recovery Plan for the Peach Myrtle (Uromyrtus australis) Foreword The New South Wales Government established a new environment agency on 24 September 2003, the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC), which incorporates the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. Responsibility for the preparation of Recovery Plans now rests with this new department. This document constitutes the formal National and New South Wales State Recovery Plan for Uromyrtus australis and, as such, considers the conservation requirements of the species across its known range. It identifies the actions to be taken to ensure the long-term viability of Uromyrtus australis in nature and the parties who will undertake these actions. Uromyrtus australis is included as Endangered on the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, and Endangered on the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. Uromyrtus australis (Family Myrtaceae) is a tree of warm temperate rainforest from the Nightcap Range in north east NSW, where it mainly occurs in National Parks and State Conservation Areas with one record for private land. The future recovery actions detailed in this Recovery Plan include: (i) monitoring to detect trends in the population, (ii) research into genetics, such as the extent of clonality, inbreeding depression and differentiation across the population and (iii) surveys of under-sampled habitat. It is intended that this Recovery Plan will be implemented over a five year period. Actions will be undertaken by the DEC. LISA CORBYN BOB DEBUS MP Director General Minister for the Environment Department of Environment and Conservation (NSW) Page i Approved Recovery Plan Uromyrtus australis Acknowledgments The DEC has prepared this plan in consultation with specialist plant ecologists. The Plan is largely based on a draft Recovery Plan prepared by consultant botanist Nick Wilson under contract to the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (now DEC) Threatened Species Unit, Northern Directorate. Nigel Cotsell, Nick Sheppard, Maria Matthes, John Hunter and Lynn Baker of the Threatened Species Unit, contributed to the preparation of the Plan and Dianne Mackey and Katrina McKay contributed to Plan preparation and finalised the Plan. The consultant wishes to thank numerous people who provided information about Uromyrtus australis including John Hunter (DEC), Robert Kooyman (Earth Process Ecological Services), Gordon Guymer (Queensland Herbarium) and Peter Wilson (National Herbarium of NSW). Maurizio Rossetto (Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney) provided information on the genetic study of threatened plants. Robert Kooyman (at times with associates) undertook much of the survey work that forms the basis for the current distribution and population knowledge underpinning this Recovery Plan.

Hertweck Dr. J. Chris Pires, Dissertation Advisor JULY 2011 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS Presented by Kate L. Hertweck A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Dr. J. Chris Pires Dr. Lori Eggert Dr. Candace Galen Dr. Rose‐Marie Muzika ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many people for their assistance during the course of my graduate education. I would not have derived such a keen understanding of the learning process without the tutelage of Dr. Sandi Abell. Members of the Pires lab provided prolific support in improving lab techniques, computational analysis, greenhouse maintenance, and writing support. Team Monocot, including Dr. Mike Kinney, Dr. Roxi Steele, and Erica Wheeler were particularly helpful, but other lab members working on Brassicaceae (Dr. Zhiyong Xiong, Dr. Maqsood Rehman, Pat Edger, Tatiana Arias, Dustin Mayfield) all provided vital support as well. I am also grateful for the support of a high school student, Cady Anderson, and an undergraduate, Tori Docktor, for their assistance in laboratory procedures. Many people, scientist and otherwise, helped with field collections: Dr. Travis Columbus, Hester Bell, Doug and Judy McGoon, Julie Ketner, Katy Klymus, and William Alexander. Many thanks to Barb Sonderman for taking care of my greenhouse collection of many odd plants brought back from the field.

The current pantropical distribution of the order suggests an historical Gondwanan distribution, however the evolutionary history of the group has never been analyzed in a temporal context to test if the order is old enough to attribute its current distribution to vicariance mediated by the break-up of the supercontinent. Based on a phylogeny derived from morphological and molecular characters, we develop a hypothesis for the spatial and temporal evolution of Zingiberales using Dispersal-Vicariance Analysis (DIVA) combined with a local molecular clock technique that enables the simultaneous analysis of multiple gene loci with multiple calibration points.

The Action Plan was developed in 2018 in consultation with experts, stakeholders and the public. The intent of the draft Action Plan is to provide a guiding framework for a specifically environmental dimension to Australia’s response to Myrtle Rust – that is, the conservation of native biodiversity at risk.

Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology Plant Protection and Quarantine Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service United States Department of Agriculture 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Weed Risk Assessment for Philydrum lanuginosum Introduction Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) regulates noxious weeds under the authority of the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000) and the Federal Seed Act (7 U.S.C. § 1581-1610, 1939). A noxious weed is defined as “any plant or plant product that can directly or indirectly injure or cause damage to crops (including nursery stock or plant products), livestock, poultry, or other interests of agriculture, irrigation, navigation, the natural resources of the United States, the public health, or the environment” (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000). We use the PPQ weed risk assessment (WRA) process (PPQ, 2015) to evaluate the risk potential of plants, including those newly detected in the United States, those proposed for import, and those emerging as weeds elsewhere in the world. The PPQ WRA process includes three analytical components that together describe the risk profile of a plant species (risk potential, uncertainty, and geographic potential; PPQ, 2015).

  • I Is the Sunda-Sahul Floristic Exchange Ongoing?
    Is the Sunda-Sahul floristic exchange ongoing? A study of distributions, functional traits, climate and landscape genomics to investigate the invasion in Australian rainforests By Jia-Yee Samantha Yap Bachelor of Biotechnology Hons. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation i Abstract Australian rainforests are of mixed biogeographical histories, resulting from the collision between Sahul (Australia) and Sunda shelves that led to extensive immigration of rainforest lineages with Sunda ancestry to Australia. Although comprehensive fossil records and molecular phylogenies distinguish between the Sunda and Sahul floristic elements, species distributions, functional traits or landscape dynamics have not been used to distinguish between the two elements in the Australian rainforest flora. The overall aim of this study was to investigate both Sunda and Sahul components in the Australian rainforest flora by (1) exploring their continental-wide distributional patterns and observing how functional characteristics and environmental preferences determine these patterns, (2) investigating continental-wide genomic diversities and distances of multiple species and measuring local species accumulation rates across multiple sites to observe whether past biotic exchange left detectable and consistent patterns in the rainforest flora, (3) coupling genomic data and species distribution models of lineages of known Sunda and Sahul ancestry to examine landscape-level dynamics and habitat preferences to relate to the impact of historical processes. First, the continental distributions of rainforest woody representatives that could be ascribed to Sahul (795 species) and Sunda origins (604 species) and their dispersal and persistence characteristics and key functional characteristics (leaf size, fruit size, wood density and maximum height at maturity) of were compared.
