While many studies have shown elevational patterns in species richness and species turnover, little is known about how multi- species interactions respond to elevation. An understanding of how species interactions are affected by current clines in climate is imperative if we are to make predictions about how ecosystem function and stability will be affected by climate change. This challenge has been addressed here by focussing on a set of intimately interacting species: leaf-mining insects, their host plants and their parasitoid predators. Herbivorous insects, including leaf miners, and their host plants and parasitoids interact in diverse and complex ways, but relatively little is known about how the nature and strengths of these interactions change along climatic gradients.

  • Comparative Population Studies in Two Cissus Species (Vitaceae) Across Fragmented and Undisturbed Rainforest Habitats
    Arnold & Rossetto, Vine ecology in rainforest remnants 683 Comparative population studies in two Cissus species (Vitaceae) across fragmented and undisturbed rainforest habitats Claire Arnold and Maurizio Rossetto Claire Arnold1,2 and Maurizio Rossetto1,3 (1Centre for Plant Conservation Genetics, Southern Cross University, Lismore NSW 2480; 2 National Centre of Competence in Research Emile-Argand 11, CH-2007 Neuchâtel, Switzerland; 3 Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust Sydney, Mrs Macquaries Rd, Sydney NSW 2000) 2002. Comparative population studies in two Cissus species (Vitaceae) across fragmented and undisturbed rainforest habitats. Cunninghamia 7(4): 683–693). This preliminary study investigated the interaction between ecological, environmental and genetic factors among two native vines, Cissus hypoglauca and Cissus sterculiifolia (family Vitaceae). Data from a number of fragmented populations within the Big Scrub and surrounding rainforest areas in northern NSW were used to investigate how closely related vines respond to habitat fragmentation. What has emerged is an account of two species occupying fairly distinct ecological niches, and consequently being differently affected by current environmental disturbances. Cissus hypoglauca appears to have greater ecological amplitude, including resilience to drier environmental conditions, while in the long term Cissus sterculiifolia is likely to be more extensively affected by rainforest degradation and fragmentation. Genetic analysis suggests that prior to extensive clearing the Big Scrub provided a continuum for gene flow across otherwise fairly disjunct rainforest areas. This pilot study illustrates how simple research can often support the development of long-term conservation and management strategies at the species and plant community level. Introduction Rainforest habitats worldwide are increasingly under pressure from degradation, over-exploitation and clearing.

  • Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific
    Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific Craig Costion School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Adelaide Adelaide, SA 5005 Thesis by publication submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology July 2011 ABSTRACT This thesis advances plant biodiversity knowledge in three separate bioregions, Micronesia, the Queensland Wet Tropics, and South Australia. A systematic treatment of the endemic flora of Micronesia is presented for the first time thus advancing alpha taxonomy for the Micronesia-Polynesia biodiversity hotspot region. The recognized species boundaries are used in combination with all known botanical collections as a basis for assessing the degree of threat for the endemic plants of the Palau archipelago located at the western most edge of Micronesia’s Caroline Islands. A preliminary assessment is conducted utilizing the IUCN red list Criteria followed by a new proposed alternative methodology that enables a degree of threat to be established utilizing existing data. Historical records and archaeological evidence are reviewed to establish the minimum extent of deforestation on the islands of Palau since the arrival of humans. This enabled a quantification of population declines of the majority of plants endemic to the archipelago. In the state of South Australia, the importance of establishing concepts of endemism is emphasized even further. A thorough scientific assessment is presented on the state’s proposed biological corridor reserve network. The report highlights the exclusion from the reserve system of one of the state’s most important hotspots of plant endemism that is highly threatened from habitat fragmentation and promotes the use of biodiversity indices to guide conservation priorities in setting up reserve networks.

  • The Native Vegetation of the Cumberland Plain, Western Sydney: Systematic Classification and Field Identification of Communities
    Tozer, Native vegetation of the Cumberland Plain 1 The native vegetation of the Cumberland Plain, western Sydney: systematic classification and field identification of communities Mark Tozer NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, PO Box 1967 Hurstville 2220, AUSTRALIA phone: (02) 9585 6496, fax.: (02) 9585 6606, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Twenty-two vascular plant communities occurring on, and adjacent to the Cumberland Plain and Hornsby Plateau, are defined using a multi-variate analysis of quantitative field survey data. Communities are described using structural features, habitat characteristics and diagnostic species. Diagnostic species are identified using a statistical fidelity measure. The pre–European spatial distribution of communities is estimated using a decision tree approach to derive relationships between community distribution and geological, climatic and topographical variables. Contemporary vegetation cover is estimated from 1:16 000 scale aerial photography (1997/98) and sorted into six categories based on cover of Eucalyptus species. These categories are only approximately related to vegetation condition: high Eucalyptus cover classes are most likely to contain high levels of floristic diversity, but areas with scattered cover or no cover at all may have either high or low diversity. Map accuracy is assessed using independent field samples and is primarily limited by the accuracy of 1:100 000 geological maps. Patterns in overstorey composition were mapped at 1:16 000 scale but were less useful in delineating community boundaries than was hoped because few species are confined to a single community. The extent to which observer bias may influence estimates of the present extent of remnant vegetation is investigated by comparing the interpretations of two observers for a subset of the study area.

  • The Role of Fire in Governing the Relative Distribution of Rainforest and Sclerophyll Forest: the Effects of Rainforest Vegetation on Fire Spread
    The Role of Fire in Governing the Relative Distribution of Rainforest and Sclerophyll Forest: the Effects of Rainforest Vegetation on Fire Spread. B y John Crockett, Brendan Mackey and Julian Ash School of Botany and Zoology, Australian National University 25 March 2006 Acknowledgments Special thanks to Steve and Robyn Teding van Berkout at the Edith and Joy London Foundation, Kioloa, for their help and friendship. Thanks to : John Ashton (Shoalhaven Group Captain of the Rural Fire Service) for help with the location of study sites; to Malcolm Gill and Peter Moore (CSIRO) for advice and loan of equipment for the leaf flammability experiment; to Gary Douglas, Ian Dicker and others with State Forests Batemans Bay for help organising the experimental burn and to Terry Murphy for technical assistance. Thanks to the Australian Flora Foundation for a grant which enabled the purchase of data logging equipment used in this project. ii Abstract This project was undertaken to examine the potential importance of fire in governing the relative distribution of rainforest and sclerophyll forest, and the width and position of the boundary between them. Rainforest patches in south coastal N.S.W. were studied. The aim of the project was to use a general fire model to examine the factors important to suppressing fire in rainforest, that is to determine the effect of rainforest vegetation on certain key variables important to determining fire behaviour. Microclimates in the rainforest, sclerophyll forest and the boundary between were characterised and compared. It was shown that there are consistent differences in the microclimates of the vegetation types studied: the microclimate of the rainforest is more buffered from extremes in external conditions than sclerophyll forest or the boundary vegetation.

  • Conservation Advice (Incorporating Listing Advice) for Illawarra– Shoalhaven Subtropical Rainforest of the Sydney Basin Bioregion 1
    Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) (s266B) Conservation Advice (incorporating listing advice) for Illawarra– Shoalhaven subtropical rainforest of the Sydney Basin Bioregion 1. The Threatened Species Scientific Committee (the Committee) was set up under the EPBC Act to give advice to the Minister for the Environment (the Minister) in relation to the listing and conservation of threatened ecological communities, including under sections 189, 194N and 266B of the EPBC Act. 2. The Committee conducted a listing assessment following the ecological community being placed on the 2017 Finalised Priority Assessment List. 3. The Committee provided its advice on the Illawarra–Shoalhaven subtropical rainforest of the Sydney Basin Bioregion ecological community to the Minister in 2019. The Committee recommended that: o the ecological community merits listing as Critically Endangered; and o a recovery plan is not required for the ecological community at this time. 3. A draft conservation advice for this ecological community was made available for expert and public comment for a minimum of 30 business days. The Committee and Minister had regard to all public and expert comment that is relevant to the consideration of the ecological community for listing. 4. In 2019 the Minister accepted the Committee’s advice, adopted this document as the approved conservation advice and agreed no recovery plan is required at this time. The Minister amended the list of threatened ecological communities under Section 184 of the EPBC Act to include Illawarra– Shoalhaven subtropical rainforest of the Sydney Basin Bioregion ecological community in the critically endangered category. 5. At the time of this advice, this ecological community corresponds closely with two threatened ecological communities that are listed under the New South Wales Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016: the ‘Illawarra Subtropical Rainforest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion’ and ‘Milton Ulladulla Subtropical Rainforest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion’.

  • The Application of Ssrs Characterized for Grape (Vitis Vinifera) to Conservation Studies in Vitaceae1
    Published in American Journal of Botany 89, 22-28, 2002 1 which should be used for any reference to this work THE APPLICATION OF SSRS CHARACTERIZED FOR GRAPE (VITIS VINIFERA) TO CONSERVATION STUDIES IN VITACEAE1 CLAIRE ARNOLD,2 MAURIZIO ROSSETTO,2,3 JODY MCNALLY,2 AND ROBERT J. HENRY2 2Centre for Plant Conservation Genetics, Southern Cross University, P.O. Box 157, Lismore NSW, 2480 Australia The use of microsatellite loci developed from a single plant species across a number of related taxa is becoming increasingly widespread. This approach can provide highly informative markers even for species for which microsatellites have not been charac- terized. As a number of expressed sequence tag (EST)-derived and enrichment-derived microsatellites are available for grape (Vitis vinifera), this study set out to assess transferability of nine such loci across 25 species from ®ve different Vitaceae genera. Intergeneric transfer success in Vitaceae was high (51.1%) and EST-derived loci performed better than enrichment-derived loci. Six loci were further tested across two Australian native species, Cissus hypoglauca and C. sterculiifolia, in order to assess the conservation of microsatellite repeats and their ¯anking sequences. Polymorphism of these selected loci was successfully tested for each species across a small, isolated rain forest population from northern New South Wales (Australia). Results from this preliminary investigation suggest that it is possible to use grape-derived simple sequence repeats (SSR) loci for population studies on Vitaceae. As Vitaceae are an important component of rain forest ¯ora, the availability of such highly informative loci will be bene®cial to future studies aimed at determining the genetic consequences of rain forest fragmentation.
