Wednesday Walk in Brooks Hill Reserve - 10 July 2013

Wednesday Walk in Brooks Hill Reserve - 10 July 2013 The Reserve is on the Kings Highway between Queanbeyan and Bungendore with entrances at the top and via a rest area at the bottom. It is quite heavily wooded with some lovely old trees, predominantly Eucalyptus rossii, E. macrorhyncha, E. dives and E. bridgesiana. At the top of the Reserve is a lovely patch of themeda grassland with the not so common Eryngium rostratum and Calocephalus citreus. There is a loop track which goes through most of the different types of vegetation. Of interest is a suckering olearia species which is as yet un- named.

Satin Azure Ogyris Amaryllis Meridionalis
Butterfly GardeningFact sheet Lycaenidae family Satin Azure Ogyris amaryllis meridionalis Also known as: Amaryllis Azure Abundance in Adelaide area: Common Flight: Aug – early Apr Wingspan: m 34 mm; f 34 mm Mature larva length: 21–27 mm If you ever encounter this butterfly flying in the sun you will see brilliant blue flashes as the sunlight reflects off its highly metallic wings. As with all the Azure butterflies, they do not open their wings when at rest. As a result, the Satin Azure virtually disappears as the wings are folded to display camouflage colours. For its caterpillar food plant, the Satin Azure prefers Wire-leaf Mistletoe (Amyema preissii), which grows on some Acacia species, but it will use other mistletoes. This butterfly is associated Mistletoe (Amyema miraculosa ssp. boormanii) on with various species of small black ants. It is most Myoporum, Santalum and others, Grey Mistletoe likely to be seen near its food plants, but males (Amyema quandang var. quandang) on Western move to and fly over nearby hilltops. The species Myall (Acacia papyrocarpa). is uncommon in the Adelaide Hills, but is present over most of the state of South Australia. A stunning butterfly, this is another mistletoe feeding member of the Azure group. The colour Caterpillar food plants: Mistletoes (Amyema of the butterfly is a very bright, shining blue spp.) The caterpillars eat the flowers and leaves. with narrow black margins on the upper surface, and a mottled black and brown cryptic pattern Adelaide native species: Wire-leaf Mistletoe underneath. The females have a slightly wider (Amyema preissii) on Blackwood (Acacia black margin on the upper side, and orange-red melanoxylon) and other acacia species.

A Regional Examination of the Mistletoe Host Species Inventory
354 Cunninghamia 8(3): 2004 Downey, Examination of the mistletoe host inventory A regional examination of the mistletoe host species inventory Paul Owen Downey Centre for Plant Biodiversity Research, CSIRO Plant Industry, GPO Box 1600, Canberra, ACT 2601, AUSTRALIA. Present Address Institute of Conservation Biology, School of Biological Sciences, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, NSW 2522 AUSTRALIA. [email protected] Abstract: Downey (1998) collated an inventory of mistletoe host species based on herbaria records for every aerial mistletoe species (families Loranthaceae and Viscaceae) in Australia. In this paper the representative nature of those host lists is examined in an extensive field survey of mistletoes and their host species in south-eastern New South Wales (including Australian Capital Territory). Four new host species not in the 1998 inventory, and eight new mistletoe-host combinations (i.e. a previously recorded host but not for that particular mistletoe species) were collected. These new records were distributed throughout the survey area. Interestingly, these new host-mistletoe combinations were for mistletoe species that were well represented in the national inventory (i.e. with many herbarium collections and numerous host species). The initial inventory was incomplete, at least for south-eastern New South Wales, indicating the need for (i) more targeted surveys similar to this one, and/or (ii) regular updates of the host inventory based on voucher specimens. A possible reasons why information on host-mistletoe combinations is incomplete may be that such combinations may be dynamic (i.e. mistletoe species may be expanding their suite of potential hosts, either fortuitously or as result of evolutionary pressures).

Methods to Manage Mistletoe
Methods to Manage Mistletoe A Landholder’s Guide © Southern New England Landcare Armidale, July 2008. Acknowledgements This booklet is a product of the Methods to Manage Mistletoe Project initiated and run by numerous landholders from the Southern New England region. Thank you to Dr Ajoy Kumar Kar for preparing the contents of this booklet, and Kàren Forge–Zirkler for facilitating the project steering committee. Associate Professor Nick Reid and Mr Jim Fittler (University of New England), and Mr Mark Allen assisted the landholder group undertake the project and the research therein, and their knowledge and experience is gratefully acknowledged. Meat & Livestock Australia are gratefully acknowledged for their Producer Initiated Research and Development funding (Project N10), which allowed the project to take place. Thanks go to the Border Rivers Gwydir Catchment Management Authority for funding to produce this booklet, and to Mr Greg Steenbeeke for providing advice regarding Native Vegetation legislation. Cover photo by Jan Gaudron. Layout & design by Kàren Forge–Zirkler. Disclaimers Although various chemical products and methods are mentioned in this publication, this should not be taken as an endorsement. Note that the Native Vegetation Act 2003 in NSW does not allow the removal of mistletoes as a permitted activity, since all mistletoes in NSW are native plants. Mistletoes are also a vital resource for several threatened species in certain parts of the state. Therefore wilful damage of mistletoes may also contravene the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1997. Landowners in NSW are advised to consult their local CMA, and if necessary, seek legal advice, when planning vegetation interventions involving mistletoe on their farms.

Adams i ii Key to the Trees and Shrubs of Black Mtn, Mt Ainslie and Mt Majura, ACT. Based largely on Vegetative Characteristics Laurence G. Adams (2010) Black Mountain Reserve on the one hand and the Mount Ainslie/Mount Majura Reserve on the other are, geologically speaking, of very different age and material. Black Mtn is entirely derived from sedimentary rocks, mainly fine-grained quartz sandstone (Black Mtn Sandstone - Lower Silurian) with a smaller area on the western and northern side of even older shales and siltstones (Pittman Formation -Upper Ordovician). The Ainslie-Majura ridge, by contrast, is of younger acidic volcanics (Ainslie Volcanics - Middle Silurian [not Lower Devonian as previously thought]).

Wood White Delias Aganippe
Butterfly GardeningFact sheet Pieridae family Wood White Delias aganippe Also known as: Spotted Jezebel or Red-spotted Jezebel Abundance in Adelaide area: Rare Flight: Sep–May Wingspan: m 61 mm; f 63 mm Mature larva length: 40 mm This superb migratory species has become less common in South Australia in recent years, but its mistletoe food plants are still prevalent close to Adelaide. It is rarely sighted in the metropolitan area. It favours healthy Quandong bushes for breeding and may be lured into the suburbs if these are grown. Gardeners in the Hills and in areas to the south and north of Adelaide may also find it worthwhile to try growing a Quandong, as they may well rear a brood of these magnificent, colourful butterflies. In the While superficially similar to some other species meantime you can enjoy the native of White butterfly on its upper side, there is no Quandong fruit! mistaking this species with its bold red, yellow, black and white patterned underside. It belongs Caterpillar food plants: Mistletoes (Amyema to a large group of similar butterflies that are spp.), and root-parasitic plants. The caterpillars found throughout eastern and northern Australia eat the flowers and soft green parts of the plant. and reach an enormous diversity in New Guinea. Adelaide native species: Box Mistletoe All Delias feed upon parasitic plants.

Islands in a Sea of Foliage: Mistletoes As Discrete Components of Forest Canopies
Chapter 22 Islands in a Sea of Foliage: Mistletoes as Discrete Components of Forest Canopies Anna E. Burns and David M. Watson Keywords Mistletoe • Host-plant • Insects • Spiders • Ecosystem health • Habitat fragmentation Bullet Points 1. Mistletoes and their dependent insects, such as butterfl ies, moths, and psyllids, are sensitive indicators of disturbance regime and overall forest integrity. 2. The health of the whole forest ecosystem is important for maintaining popu- lations of insects in the canopy because different insect life stages depend on different types of plants. 3. Herbivorous insects and mammals, along with fi re, help to regulate mistletoe abundance. Summary This chapter focuses on the ecological interactions between mistletoe plants and their invertebrate inhabitants (insects and spiders), drawing on our own empirical research in southeastern Australia and several other studies conducted worldwide. Our research on box mistletoes and their host eucalypt trees in remnant woodlands was the fi rst direct comparison of invertebrate fauna inhabiting mistletoes and their host plants (Burns 2009 ; Burns et al. 2011 ).
