These species possess marked differences bird movement and damage; the development in feeding strategies, breeding behaviour and of simple techniques for estimating the extent movement patterns. There is high variability in, and severity of damage; adoption of strategic and uncertainty about, bird movements and management using improved damage reduction subsequent damage levels between and within techniques; reconciliation of legislation and seasons. responsibilities; and increased cooperation, collaboration and commitment from industry Horticulturists are also faced with increasing and government. Whilst the focus of this review social, environmental and legal issues that further is pest bird impacts on horticulture, most of the restrict the techniques that can be used to issues are of relevance to pest bird management reduce bird impacts. Of the techniques that are in general. available, few have been subjected to rigorous scientific assessment, and management solutions Horticulturists need to have a strategic approach are seldom suited to all bird species, crops and to managing pest birds which involves careful situations. As a result, the management of pest planning, consideration of the species involved, birds is one of the most difficult and challenging and estimation of the extent of damage before tasks facing horticulturists. and after control. This approach is the basis of a series of pest management guidelines prepared Despite these concerns, many industry and by the Bureau of Rural Sciences over the past government organisations have been reluctant decade through its administration of the National to invest in research to reduce the damage Feral Animal Control Programme — a Natural caused by birds.

    Field Guides Tour Report Australia Part 2 2019 Oct 22, 2019 to Nov 11, 2019 John Coons & Doug Gochfeld For our tour description, itinerary, past triplists, dates, fees, and more, please VISIT OUR TOUR PAGE. Water is a precious resource in the Australian deserts, so watering holes like this one near Georgetown are incredible places for concentrating wildlife. Two of our most bird diverse excursions were on our mornings in this region. Photo by guide Doug Gochfeld. Australia. A voyage to the land of Oz is guaranteed to be filled with novelty and wonder, regardless of whether we’ve been to the country previously. This was true for our group this year, with everyone coming away awed and excited by any number of a litany of great experiences, whether they had already been in the country for three weeks or were beginning their Aussie journey in Darwin. Given the far-flung locales we visit, this itinerary often provides the full spectrum of weather, and this year that was true to the extreme. The drought which had gripped much of Australia for months on end was still in full effect upon our arrival at Darwin in the steamy Top End, and Georgetown was equally hot, though about as dry as Darwin was humid. The warmth persisted along the Queensland coast in Cairns, while weather on the Atherton Tablelands and at Lamington National Park was mild and quite pleasant, a prelude to the pendulum swinging the other way. During our final hours below O’Reilly’s, a system came through bringing with it strong winds (and a brush fire warning that unfortunately turned out all too prescient).

  • Darwinia Hortiorum (Myrtaceae: Chamelaucieae), a New Species from the Darling Range, Western Australia
    K.R.Nuytsia Thiele, 20: 277–281 Darwinia (2010) hortiorum (Myrtaceae: Chamelaucieae), a new species 277 Darwinia hortiorum (Myrtaceae: Chamelaucieae), a new species from the Darling Range, Western Australia Kevin R. Thiele Western Australian Herbarium, Department of Environment and Conservation, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Western Australia 6983 Email: [email protected] Abstract Thiele, K.R. Darwinia hortiorum (Myrtaceae: Chamelaucieae), a new species from the Darling Range, Western Australia. Nuytsia 20: 277–281 (2010). The distinctive, new, rare species Darwinia hortiorum is described, illustrated and discussed. Uniquely in the genus it has strongly curved- zygomorphic flowers with the sigmoid styles arranged so that they group towards the centre of the head-like inflorescences. Introduction Darwinia Rudge comprises c. 90 species, mostly from the south-west of Western Australia with c. 15 species in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. Phylogenetic analyses (M. Barrett, unpublished) have shown that the genus is polyphyletic, with distinct eastern and western Australian clades. Along with the related genera Actinodium Schauer, Chamelaucium Desf., Homoranthus A.Cunn. ex Schauer and Pileanthus Labill., the Darwinia clades are nested in a paraphyletic Verticordia DC. Many undescribed species of Darwinia are known in Western Australia, and these are being progressively described (Rye 1983; Marchant & Keighery 1980; Marchant 1984; Keighery & Marchant 2002; Keighery 2009). A significant number of taxa in the genus are narrowly endemic or rare and are of high conservation significance. Although taxonomic reassignment of the Western Australian species of Darwinia may be required in the future, resolving the status of these undescribed species and describing them under their current genus helps provide information for conservation assessments and survey.

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.
