  • 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.

  • Weed Risk Assessment for Hakea Salicifolia (Vent.) B. L. Burtt
    Weed Risk Assessment for Hakea United States salicifolia (Vent.) B. L. Burtt. Department of Agriculture (Proteaceae) – Finger hakea Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service April 4, 2013 Version 1 Left: Habit of H. salicifolia. Right: Leaves and follicles of H. salicifolia (source of both images: Trevor James, http://www.nzflora.info/Index.html). 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 Hakea salicifolia 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 weed risk assessment (WRA)— specifically, the PPQ WRA model (Koop et al., 2012)—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. Because the PPQ WRA model is geographically and climatically neutral, it can be used to evaluate the baseline invasive/weed potential of any plant species for the entire United States or for any area within it.

Adams i ii Key to the Trees and Shrubs of Black Mtn, Mt Ainslie and Mt Majura, ACT. Based largely on Vegetative Characteristics Laurence G. Adams (2010) Black Mountain Reserve on the one hand and the Mount Ainslie/Mount Majura Reserve on the other are, geologically speaking, of very different age and material. Black Mtn is entirely derived from sedimentary rocks, mainly fine-grained quartz sandstone (Black Mtn Sandstone - Lower Silurian) with a smaller area on the western and northern side of even older shales and siltstones (Pittman Formation -Upper Ordovician). The Ainslie-Majura ridge, by contrast, is of younger acidic volcanics (Ainslie Volcanics - Middle Silurian [not Lower Devonian as previously thought]). Detailed descriptions of the respective geology can be found in the following references: (1) R.S.Abell: “Geology of the Canberra 1:100,000 Sheet Area.”, BMR Bulletin 233 (1991) (2) R.S.Abell: “Geology of the Australian Capital Territory; 1:100,000 scale map”, Geol.
