THREATENED SPECIES SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 The Minister approved this conservation advice and transferred this species from the Vulnerable category to the Endangered category, effective from 11/05/2018 Conservation Advice Livistona mariae subsp. mariae Central Australian cabbage palm Summary of assessment Conservation status Livistona mariae subsp. mariae has been found to be eligible for transferring from the Vulnerable category to the Endangered category, as outlined in the attached assessment. Reason for conservation assessment by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee This advice follows assessment of information provided by the Northern Territory as part of the Common Assessment Method process, to systematically review species that are inconsistently listed under the EPBC Act and relevant state/territory legislation or lists. More information on the Common Assessment Method is available at: http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/threatened/cam The information in this assessment has been compiled by the relevant state/territory government. In adopting this assessment under the EPBC Act, this document forms the Approved Conservation Advice for this species as required under s266B of the EPBC Act. Public consultation Notice of the proposed amendment and a consultation document was made available for public comment for 33 business days between 3 October 2017 and 16 November 2017. Any comments received that were relevant to the survival of the species were considered by the Committee as part of the assessment process. Recovery plan A recovery plan for this species under the EPBC Act is not recommended, because the Approved Conservation Advice provides sufficient direction to implement priority actions and mitigate against key threats.

Taxonomy and Conservation: a Case Study from Chamaedorea Alternans
Annals of Botany doi:10.1093/aob/mcl158, available online at www.aob.oxfordjournals.org Taxonomy and Conservation: A Case Study from Chamaedorea alternans CHRISTINE D. BACON* and C. DONOVAN BAILEY Department of Biology, New Mexico State University, PO Box 30001, Las Cruces, NM 88003, USA Received: 30 January 2006 Returned for revision: 11 April 2006 Accepted: 5 June 2006 Background and Aims The establishment of justified recommendations in conservation biology requires robust taxonomic treatments for the group(s) being considered. Controversial or poorly developed taxonomies can have a negative impact on conservation assessments. One example of a taxonomically difficult and controversial species complex that is important in conservation involves two species of Mexican palms, Chamaedorea tepejilote and C. alternans. The goal of this study was to investigate whether C. alternans and C. tepejilote are genetically distinct within the Los Tuxtlas region of Veracruz. Methods Individuals corresponding to the morphology of C. alternans and C. tepejilote were collected from sympatric and allopatric regions within the Los Tuxtlas Biological Station. Eighty-eight samples were genotyped using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Cluster and ordination analyses were used to investigate patterns of differentiation. Key Results UPGMA and PCO analyses of AFLP profiles recovered two divergent clusters corresponding to morphologically defined C. tepejilote and C. alternans. No intermediate genotypes were observed and five of the 45 loci were fixed for either the presence or absence between the species. The patterns of divergence observed do not identify a role for sympatric speciation. Conclusions The observed patterns of differentiation support the recognition of C.

Endemism in the Australian Flora
Journal of Biogeography, 28, 183±198 Endemism in the Australian ¯ora M. D. Crisp1*, S. Laffan2, H. P. Linder3 and A. Monro11Division of Botany and Zoology, 2Department of Geography, Australian National University, Canberra ACT 0200, Australia and 3Department of Botany, University of Cape Town, Rondebosch 7700, South Africa Abstract Aim To detect centres of vascular plant endemism at a continental scale by analysis of specimen-based distributional data and to relate any pattern to environmental factors and history. Location Australia. Methods Presence of 8468 seed plant species-level taxa throughout continental Australia and Tasmania was mapped on a 1° grid to visualize the pattern of species richness. This sample comprises half the known ¯ora. Three indices of endemism were calculated but we preferred one that is unrelated to species richness, so that these two concepts could be distinguished in practice. Centres of endemism were detected by simple mapping and by spatial autocorrelation analysis (SAC). Linear regression was used to examine the relationship of the patterns of species richness and endemism to latitude, topography and climate. Results Both species richness and endemism vary greatly across the continent but in most cases the same centres were high in both richness and endemism. Twelve distinct centres were identi®ed. The major centres of both diversity and endemism are south-west western Australia, the Border Ranges between New South Wales and Queensland, the Wet Tropics near Cairns, Tasmania and the Iron-McIlwraith Range of eastern Cape York Peninsula. The last centre appears to be more signi®cant than recognized by past authors. Whether this is a true Australian centre of endemism, or is largely an outlier of the ¯ora of Papua New Guinea, is explored.

Revision of Livistona (Arecaceae) in Australia
49 Revision of Livistona (Arecaceae) in Australia A.N. Rodd Abstract Rodd, A.N. (Royal Botanic Gardens, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia; Present address: 225 Trafalgar Street, Annandale, NSW 2038, Australia) 1998. Revision of Livistona (Arecaceae) in Australia. Telopea 8(1): 49–153. A taxonomic revision of the Australian species of the palm genus Livistona is presented, with a key to the species. Sixteen species are recognised, five of them described here as new (L. fulva, L. kimberleyana, L. lanuginosa, L. nitida and L. victoriae). One new subspecies is recognised (L. mariae subsp. occidentalis) and a new combination made at subspecific rank (L. mariae subsp. rigida) for Livistona rigida Becc. Introduction For the greater part of the period in which the Australian flora has been the subject of study by Western science, the native palms were neglected by botanists. Firstly, for a long period there were no resident taxonomists with an interest in palms. F. von Mueller and F.M. Bailey both described a number of palm species, but they dealt with them in a somewhat superficial manner, placing excessive reliance on very inadequate collections. Secondly, the sparsely scattered palms of Australia were not central to the interests of palm specialists such as Wendland and Drude, Beccari, and Burret, and they lacked adequate material for study. Thirdly, there is the combination of the limited economic value of Australian palms and the great difficulty of collecting and preparing specimens, with most botanical collectors unwilling to invest the time and energy required to make a satisfactory specimen. The latter two considerations have had the result that in Australian herbaria there is in total a very small number of adequate specimens of native palms, by comparison with almost any other plant group of equivalent size and diversity.

DISSERTATION TRACHYCARPEAE PALMS AS MODELS TO UNDERSTAND PATTERNS OF ISLAND BIOGEOGRAPHY AND DIVERSIFICATION Submitted by Christine D. Bacon Department of Biology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2011 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Mark P. Simmons Amy L. Angert John K. McKay Warren L. Wagner ABSTRACT TRACHYCARPEAE PALMS AS MODELS TO UNDERSTAND PATTERNS OF ISLAND BIOGEOGRAPHY AND DIVERSIFICATION Palms are iconic members of tropical flora and are representative of the vast diversity found in rain forests across the world. Outside of being fundamental for forest structure and function and for human well-being in many tropical countries, palms also emerge as models for evolutionary studies. Because of their long history, rich fossil record, and dispersal ability, palms have been suggested to track forest evolution and change through time. In this dissertation, I use various molecular and analytical techniques to show that palms are an excellent model for understanding patterns of biogeography and diversification in tropical forests. Results show that Miocene dispersal was a driving force in island diversification across the world from the Caribbean, to Southeast Asia, to Hawaii. Data also support that differential shifts in diversification are key to shaping diversity patterns on Southeast Asian islands and across Wallace's Line. At finer scales, results show the importance of hybridization in the diversification of island lineages. Together, this research defines important conclusions from Trachycarpeae palms and extends them to the understanding of islands and to tropical forests in general. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge my family and friends for their support over the last five years.
