  • Threatened Plant Species in Your Bush About This Kit This Kit Is Designed to Help You Identify Any Threatened Species That May Be Present in Your Remnant Native Bush
    Threatened plant species in your bush About this kit This kit is designed to help you identify any threatened species that may be present in your remnant native bush. After a brief introduction about threatened species and their importance, the kit lists most of the plants that are thought to be extinct, endangered or vulnerable in Tasmania. The plants are listed alphabetically by their scientific name. A short description and a photograph are given for each species. Information on managing the species is also given where this is known — though in most cases this information is not currently available. An alphabetical list of the common names of the plants included in this kit can be found on page 41. Further information about threatened plant species can be obtained from the Threatened Species Unit botanist on (03) 6233 6556. What is a threatened species? A plant or animal species is described as threatened if it is at risk of becoming extinct. Plants and animals become threatened through a range of factors that may be natural or human induced. A plant population may be destroyed by fire, flood or disease, or by land clearance for development or agriculture. Some Tasmanian plant species are highly localised and therefore more vulnerable to destruction. By far the biggest threat to Tasmania’s wildlife is the loss of habitat through development and land practices such as forestry and agriculture. In Tasmania threatened species are categorised into three classes depending on the level of threat facing them. These are endangered (including extinct), vulnerable and rare. All species assigned to these classes are included in the Threatened Species Protection Act 1995.

  • Chapter 3: Developing Molecular Tools to Investigate Genetic Exchange Within and Between Species
    Chapter 1 Introduction In order to understand current distribution patterns in the Australian flora it is important to consider genetic diversity as a hierarchy, with evolutionary processes occurring at a range of scales: landscapes, ecosystems, communities, species, populations and individuals. In recently diverged taxa this consideration is crucial for understanding speciation processes since discerning boundaries between populations and species can be difficult (Drummond and Hamilton 2007). Distribution patterns of plant taxa are the result of complex historical processes including climatic change, vicariance, long-distance dispersal, competition and selection. However, contemporary factors such as tolerance or adaptation to habitats and human activity can be equally important. Determining the long- and short-term processes that have led to isolated and, consequently, vulnerable populations of plant species, is crucial for the conservation of the Australian flora. The genera Tremandra R.Br. ex DC., Platytheca Steetz and Tetratheca Sm. have traditionally comprised the Australian endemic family Tremandraceae (Thompson 1976). They are small perennial shrubs distributed mostly across the temperate zone in relatively open, dry habitats ranging from heath and sclerophyll forest to rock outcrops in the arid zone. Recent molecular phylogenetic research (e.g. Savolainen et al. 2000, Bradford and Barnes 2001, Crayn et al. 2006) confirms that these three genera form a clade within Elaeocarpaceae, a family of mostly rainforest trees and shrubs that are widespread in tropical and subtropical regions and extend into temperate areas. Placement of these genera within Elaeocarpaceae has been recently formalised (APG 2003, Coode 2004). This unexpected relationship provides an ideal opportunity for studying processes contributing to speciation in plant groups characteristic of a broad range of Australian vegetation types.

  • Conservation Advice Tetratheca Gunnii Shy Susan
    THREATENED SPECIES SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE Established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 The Minister’s delegate approved this Conservation Advice on 16/12/2016. Conservation Advice Tetratheca gunnii Shy Susan Conservation Status Tetratheca gunnii (Shy Susan) is listed as Critically Endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) effective 16 July 2000. The species is eligible for listing as prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as Endangered under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). It was subsequently transferred to the Critically Endangered category under the EPBC Act in October 2001. This species is also listed as Endangered under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 . The main factors that are the cause of the species being eligible for listing in the Critically Endangered category are historic declines through land degradation; very small, fragmented populations within a limited Extent of Occurrence; clearing and degradation of suitable habitat including by mining; grazing; evident depletion of the seed bank through lack of appropriate conditions for germination; and susceptibility to the pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi . Description Tetratheca gunnii , commonly known as shy susan, is an undershrub with a straggling growth habit. The 15 to 50 cm long branches are slender, wiry and tend to trail through associated plants. Leaves are small, elliptical (oblong) to linear, occur alternately along a stem, and are between 2 – 6 mm long and 0.5 – 1.5 mm wide, ending in a blunt points often surrounded by very small stiff hairs. The flowers are pale lilac to deep pink-purple with four egg-shaped or narrow, downward pointing petals, generally less than 5.5mm long.

    Flora species recorded in the Metropolitan Melbourne Investigation area As of October 2010, the Department of Sustainability and Environment’s Flora Information System database contains records for the following taxa in the Metropolitan Melbourne Investigation area. LEGEND: EPBC: status under Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, as at December 2004. C Critically Endangered: A taxon is critically endangered when it is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future. E Endangered: A taxon is endangered when it is not critically endangered but is facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future. V Vulnerable: A taxon is vulnerable when it is not critically endangered or endangered but is facing a high risk of extinction in the wild in the medium-term future. Vic: conservation status in Victoria, after DSE (2005). x Presumed Extinct in Victoria: not recorded from Victoria during the past 50 years despite field searches specifically for the plant, or, alternatively, intensive field searches (since 1950) at all previously known sites have failed to record the plant. e Endangered in Victoria: at risk of disappearing from the wild state if present land use and other causal factors continue to operate. v Vulnerable in Victoria: not presently endangered but likely to become so soon due to continued depletion; occurring mainly on sites likely to experience changes in land-use which would threaten the survival of the plant in the wild; or, taxa whose total population is so small that the likelihood of recovery from disturbance, including localised natural events such as drought, fire or landslip, is doubtful.
