  • TML Propagation Protocols
    PROPAGATION PROTOCOLS This document is intended as a guide for Tamborine Mountain Landcare members who wish to assist our regeneration projects by growing some of the plants needed. It is a work in progress so if you have anything to add to the protocols – for example a different but successful way of propagating and growing a particular plant – then please give it to Julie Lake so she can add it to the document. The idea is that our shared knowledge and experience can become a valuable part of TML's intellectual property as well as a useful source of knowledge for members. As there are many hundreds of plants native to Tamborine Mountain, the protocols list will take a long time to complete, with growing information for each plant added alphabetically as time permits. While the list is being compiled by those members with competence in this field, any TML member with a query about propagating a particular plant can post it on the website for other me mb e r s to answer. To date, only protocols for trees and shrubs have been compiled. Vines and ferns will be added later. Fruiting times given are usual for the species but many rainforest plants flower and fruit opportunistically, according to weather and other conditions unknown to us, thus fruit can be produced at any time of year. Finally, if anyone would like a copy of the protocols, contact Julie on [email protected] and she’ll send you one. ………………….. Growing from seed This is the best method for most plants destined for regeneration projects for it is usually fast, easy and ensures genetic diversity in the regenerated landscape.

  • Restoring Littoral Rainforest Remnants on the Tweed Coast
    Restoring Littoral Rainforest Remnants on the Tweed Coast Project Details . Location Tweed Local Government Area . Duration March 2010 to May 2011 . Partners Tweed Shire Council; Fingal Head Coast Care, Kingscliff, Casuarina, Cabarita Beach, Hastings Point and Pottsville Beach Dune Care associations Description Littoral rainforest (LRF) is listed as Endangered Ecological Community (ECC) under State and Federal threatened species legislation. In addition to its intrinsic value, LRF supports threatened plant species such as Stinking Cryptocarya (Cryptocarya foetida), Scented Acronychia (Acronychia littoralis), Coolamon (Syzygium moorei) and White Lace Flower (Archidendron hendersonii). LRF also provides habitat for threatened fauna including Common Planigale (Planigale maculata), Eastern Blossom Bat (Syconycteris australis), Grey-headed Flying Fox (Pteropus poliocephalus) and Superb Fruit Dove (Ptilinopus superbus). Within the Tweed Local Government Area past activities such as logging and clearing for sand-mining has had a significant impact on LRF. Only fragmented remnants remain comprising an area of about 100ha. Many of these remnants occur within Crown Reserves managed by Tweed Shire Council. These remnants are often bound by roads and residential developments; restricting further expansion and making them susceptible to invasive weed species. Aim / Objectives This project aimed to control threats within LRF remnants within the Tweed Local Government Area, initiating recovery through the natural regeneration of plant species and recovery of fauna habitat. The objectives were to: Engage bush regeneration contractors to control weeds within remnants and encourage native species regeneration; Inform residents living adjacent to LRF remnants of the threats to LRF and encourage practices to reduce threats; Raise community and care groups awareness about the significance LRF on the Tweed Coast; and Coordinate with other restoration and care group projects to get the best project outcomes.

  • Cryptocarya Nitens (Lauraceae), a New Species Record for Singapore
    Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore 67(2): 253–259. 2015 253 doi: 10.3850/S2382581215000204 Cryptocarya nitens (Lauraceae), a new species record for Singapore R.P.J. de Kok 275 Cricklewood Lane, London, NW2 2JJ, U.K. [email protected] ABSTRACT. Cryptocarya nitens (Blume) Koord. & Valeton is newly recorded for Singapore. It was discovered during surveys in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and the Nee Soon Swamp Forest. A description is given, together with a key based mostly on vegetative characters for all Cryptocarya species occurring in Singapore. A short overview of the Lauraceae of Singapore shows that, in total, 57 species belonging to 14 genera have been recorded, of which 47 species in 13 genera are native. Cryptocarya nitens is lectotypified in addition to two of its synonyms. Keywords. Cryptocarya, Endiandra Introduction Species of the Lauraceae (Laurel Family) are of major ecological and economic importance in Southeast Asia as they comprise a major part of almost any forest in the region. The family is very complex, posing many challenging taxonomic and systematic questions, and for various reasons the identification of species is problematic. Some systematic work has been done, for instance Kostermans (1952, 1957a, 1957b, 1964) wrote a series of papers on various genera or parts of genera during his career, and he also dealt with some aspects of the higher taxonomy. The most recent overview of the family as a whole was by Rohwer (1993). In Eastern Asia and Australasia, only for Peninsular Malaysia (Kochummen, 1989), China (Li Xiwen et al., 2008) and Australia (Le Cussan & Hyland, 2007) are recent treatments available, dealing with all species occurring in their territories.

To remedy this, we sequenced and assembled Lauraceae complete plastid genomes (plastomes) from 25 species representing five genera spanning most major clades of Molecular clock Beilschmiedia and close relatives. Our inferred phylogeny is robust and includes two major clades. The first Plastome includes a monophyletic Endiandra nested within a paraphyletic Australasian Beilschmiedia group. The second Phylogenomics includes (i) a subclade of African Beilschmiedia plus Malagasy Potameia, (ii) a subclade of Asian species including Systematics Syndiclis and Sinopora, (iii) the lone Neotropical species B. immersinervis, (iv) a subclade of core Asian Beilschmiedia, sister to the Neotropical species B. brenesii, and v) two Asian species including B. turbinata and B. glauca. The rampant non-monophyly of Beilschmiedia we identify necessitates a major taxonomic realignment of the genus, including but not limited to the mergers of Brassiodendron and Sinopora into the genera Endiandra and Syndiclis, respectively.

  • Antiproliferation of Cryptocarya Concinna-Derived Cryptocaryone Against Oral Cancer Cells Involving Apoptosis, Oxidative Stress
    Chang et al. BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine (2016) 16:94 DOI 10.1186/s12906-016-1073-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Antiproliferation of Cryptocarya concinna- derived cryptocaryone against oral cancer cells involving apoptosis, oxidative stress, and DNA damage Hsun-Shuo Chang1,2†, Jen-Yang Tang3,4,5†, Ching-Yu Yen6,7, Hurng-Wern Huang8, Chang-Yi Wu9, Yi-An Chung10, Hui-Ru Wang10, Ih-Sheng Chen1,2, Ming-Yii Huang3,4* and Hsueh-Wei Chang10,11,12,13* Abstract Background: Cryptocarya-derived crude extracts and their compounds have been reported to have an antiproliferation effect on several types of cancers but their impact on oral cancer is less well understood. Methods: We examined the cell proliferation effect and mechanism of C. concinna-derived cryptocaryone (CPC) on oral cancer cells in terms of cell viability, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial depolarization, and DNA damage. Results: We found that CPC dose-responsively reduced cell viability of two types of oral cancer cells (Ca9-22 and CAL 27) in MTS assay. The CPC-induced dose-responsive apoptosis effects on Ca9-22 cells were confirmed by flow cytometry- based sub-G1 accumulation, annexin V staining, and pancaspase analyses. For oral cancer Ca9-22 cells, CPC also induced oxidative stress responses in terms of ROS generation and mitochondrial depolarization. Moreover, γH2AX flow cytometry showed DNA damage in CPC-treated Ca9-22 cells. CPC-induced cell responses in terms of cell viability, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and DNA damage were rescued by N-acetylcysteine pretreatment, suggesting that oxidative stress plays an important role in CPC-induced death of oral cancer cells.

  • The Birds of Gunung Ambang Nature Reserve, North Sulawesi, Indonesia
    FORKTAIL 17 (2001): 57-66 The birds of Gunung Ambang Nature Reserve, North Sulawesi, Indonesia JON RILEY and JORYS MOLE Between 9 and 19 November 1999 we conducted ornithological surveys at Gunung [= Mount] Ambang, an 8,638 hectare nature reserve located on the northern peninsula of Sulawesi, Indonesia. The reserve supports a number of primary forest types between 700 m and 1,760 m. Surveys were also made in a 25,000 hectare area of primary lowland and hill forest, of uncertain official status, to the north of Ambang. We noted 108 species in these two areas, including the globally threatened Matinan Flycatcher Cyornis sanfordi, which is restricted to montane forests on the north peninsula of Sulawesi, and Cinnabar Hawk Owl Ninox ios, a recently described species previously known only from a single specimen collected from Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park, c. 30 km to the west. A total of 113 species has now been recorded in the reserve. Bird populations at Mt. Ambang are threatened primarily by loss of habitat caused by agricultural encroachment into the reserve and habitat degradation resulting from timber extraction. Hunting is a major threat to mammal species in the reserve and some birds are also affected. Clarification of the current status of the extension area, ideally followed by its designation as a reserve, would add an important site to the island’s protected area network. This move, coupled with an increase in patrolling and monitoring by park authorities, and publicizing the reserve amongst local communities, would be important first steps towards ensuring the future of Mt.
