  • Palatability of Plants to Camels (DBIRD NT)
    Technote No. 116 June 2003 Agdex No: 468/62 ISSN No: 0158-2755 The Palatability of Central Australian Plant Species to Camels Dr B. Dorges, Dr J. Heucke, Central Australian Camel Industry Association and R. Dance, Pastoral Division, Alice Springs BACKGROUND About 600,000 camels (Camelus dromedarius) are believed to inhabit the arid centre of Australia, mainly in South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Most of these camels are feral. A small camel industry has developed, which harvests selected animals for domestic and export markets, primarily for meat. Camels can eat more than 80% of the common plant species found in Central Australia. Some plant species are actively sought by camels and may need to be protected. METHOD Observations of grazing preferences by camels were made periodically for up to 12 years on five cattle stations in Central Australia. Where camels were accustomed to the presence of humans, it was possible to observe their grazing preferences from a few metres. Radio transmitters were fitted on some camels for easy detection and observation at any time. These evaluations were used to establish a diet preference or palatability index for observed food plants. Table 1. Palatability index for camels Index Interpretation 1 only eaten when nothing else is available 2 rarely eaten 3 common food plant 4 main food plant at times 5 preferred food plant 6 highly preferred food plant 7 could be killed by camel browsing More information can be obtained from the web site of the Central Australian Camel Industry Association http://www.camelsaust.com.au 2 RESULTS Table 2.

  • Assessment of the Toxicity of Selected Australian Native Plant Extracts Using the Artemia Franciscana Nauplii Bioassay I Cock
    The Internet Journal of Toxicology ISPUB.COM Volume 5 Number 2 Assessment of the toxicity of selected Australian native plant extracts using the Artemia franciscana nauplii bioassay I Cock Citation I Cock. Assessment of the toxicity of selected Australian native plant extracts using the Artemia franciscana nauplii bioassay. The Internet Journal of Toxicology. 2007 Volume 5 Number 2. Abstract Thirty nine methanolic extracts from twenty five Australian native plants were investigated for toxicity using the Artemia franciscana nauplii lethality bioassay and compared to the reference toxins potassium dichromate and Mevinphos. 7 extracts (18 %) showed marked lethality towards Artemia franciscana nauplii at 24 h, 11 extracts (28 %) at 48 h and 19 extracts (49 %) at 72 h. Of the positive controls, only Mevinphos displayed significant lethality at 24 h. Potassium dichromate treatment resulted in only approximately 10 % mortality at 24 h but induced 100% mortality by 48 h. Of the non-toxic extracts, A. aulacocarpa leaf, L. bracteata leaf, L. juniperium leaf and flower, S. australe leaf and B. celsissima leaf extracts have previously been shown to be good antibacterial agents, confirming their potential for antibiotic usage. Financial support of this work was provided by the School More than 150 plants from nearly 60 widely varied botanical of Biomolecular and Physical Sciences, Griffith University, families were used by Australian Aborigines as antiseptic Australia. agents [8]. Although there is enormous potential for the development of medicinal agents from Australian plants, INTRODUCTION much of our knowledge of the antimicrobial nature of Plants have long been recognised as a valuable source of Australian plants is anecdotal.

  • Hunter Valley Weeping Myall Woodland – Is It Really Definable and Defendable with and Without Weeping Myall (Acacia Pendula)?
    Cunninghamia Date of Publication: June 2016 A journal of plant ecology for eastern Australia ISSN 0727- 9620 (print) • ISSN 2200 - 405X (Online) Hunter Valley Weeping Myall Woodland – is it really definable and defendable with and without Weeping Myall (Acacia pendula)? Stephen Bell and Colin Driscoll School of Environmental and Life Sciences, University of Newcastle, Callaghan NSW 2308 AUSTRALIA, [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: Hunter Valley Weeping Myall Woodland is listed as a Critically Endangered Ecological Community (CEEC) under both the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation (TSC) Act 1995 and the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act 1999. Uncertainty regarding the provenance of Weeping Myall (Acacia pendula) in the Hunter has led to questioning of the place of Hunter Valley Weeping Myall Woodland CEEC in State and Commonwealth legislation. A recent publication has endorsed its legislative listing, largely based on the co-association of Weeping Myall with a range of other semi-arid species in some parts of the Hunter Valley. We counter this argument and show that the semi-arid species present in low rainfall areas on Permian sediments of the Hunter Valley floor are in fact more widespread than previously documented. Through examination of distributional records, we demonstrate that these species display no fidelity to purported Hunter Valley Weeping Myall Woodland, but instead occur in a range of other vegetation communities across much of the central and upper Hunter Valley. Habitat suitability modelling undertaken for Acacia pendula shows there to be nearly 900 times the 200 ha of pre-European extent, or 20 times the area of occupancy previously estimated for this community.

  • Encampment. Here Likewise Grew a Shrubby Species of Xerotes 110H
    - 113 - encampment. Here likewise grew a shrubby species of Xerotes 110h hard rush-like leaves, but allied to X.gracilis.4 Mitchell sketched his quandong-like shrub, naming it Ellsalzarr1-.TsAyana. This plant was long known as Fusanusarsicarius, but in recent revisions, Mitchell t s name has been restored, so that the Quandong is now Eualya acuminata and the Bitter Quandong is E.murrayana. Mitchell thus became -the first explorer, apart from Cunningham, a professional botanist, to name and publish, albeit without the traditional Latin description, a native plant. Also on the Murray, he found a very beautiful, new, shrubby species of cassia, with thin papery pods and...the most brillant yellow blossoms...I would name it C.heteroloba.464 Lindley accepted this, and the plant was so named, although it proved to be synonymous with Cassia eremophila which had precedence. Similarly, Mitchell named Pelargonium rodne anum, which would be an acquisition to our gardens. I named it...in honour of Mrs. Riddell Sydney, grand-daughter of the famous Rodney.4-} On this expedition, Mitchell made his usual prophecies concerning the economy of the new country. He felt that the "quandong nut" and "gum 466 acacia may in time, become articles of commerce" and "having brought home specimens of most of the woods of the interior", Mitchell felt that several of the acacias would be valuable for ornamental work, having a pleasing perfume resembling that of a rose. Some are of a dark colour of various shades, and very compact; others light coloured and resembling in texture, box or lancewood...Specimens of these A pods may be seen at Hallets, No.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.
