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. The list summarises the input data, so errors in the data received would be reflected in this document. • The scientific names and taxonomic concepts used in this report reflect an ANHAT view of the data and not necessarily that found in government censuses, databases or other authoritative lists. Species list for Mackay Whitsunday QLD Page 1 of 107 21-Jan-11 Species List for NRM Region Mackay Whitsunday, Queensland This list was produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities using the Australian Natural Heritage Assessment Tool (ANHAT). ANHAT is a database and decision support tool which uses over 33 million specimen and survey records for vertebrates, selected invertebrates and 137 vascular plant families (over 15,000 species). This species list does not include exotic or extinct species. Species are shown only if they belong to the families covered in ANHAT as shown in Appendix 1 and ANHAT holds records of the species from this region.

Summary Ecological restoration has become an important technique for mitigating the human impacts on natural vegetation. Planting seedlings is the most common approach to regain lost forest cover. However, these activities require a large economic investment. Direct-seeding is considered a cheaper and easier alternative technique, in which tree seeds are introduced directly on the site rather than transplanting seedlings from nurseries. To evaluate the effectiveness of direct seeding, we conducted a comprehensive search of the literature using ―restoration‖, ―direct seeding‖ and ―sowing‖ as keywords, and we performed a meta-analysis using 30 papers and 89 species. We used two different measures of restoration success: seed germination probability and success probability (the chance that a seed germinates and survives until the end of the experiment).

Turner and Trevor J. H awkeswood Abstract: A new larval host plant, Oxylobium aciculiferum (F. Muell.) Benth. (Fabaceae), is recorded here for the Australian buprestid beetle, Melobasis cupriceps (Kirby) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Buprestinae). Its habitat is briefly recorded and aspects of the larval/pupal chambers are described. Oxylobium aciculiferum has not been recorded previously as a host (either larval or adult) for any other Australian Buprestidae and this is the first larval record from the genus Oxylobium. Melobasis cupriceps has been recorded previously as breeding in the branches of Acacia longifolia (Andr.) Willd. (Mimosaceae). Zusammenfassung: Der Schmetterlingsblütler Oxylobium aciculiferum (F. Muell.) Benth. ist als neue Wirtspflanze der Larven des australischen Prachtkäfers Melobasis cupriceps (Kirby) (Col.: Buprestidae) festgestellt worden. Habitat und Aspekte der Puppenwiege des Käfers werden beschrieben. Weder Oxylobium aciculiferum noch eine andere Art der Gattung Oxylobium wurde bisher als Wirtspflanze für Larven oder Imagines der Buprestidenfauna gemeldet. Die Vermehrung von M . cupriceps war bisher nur in Zweigen von Acacia longifolia (Andr.) Willd. beobachtet worden. Introduction The genus Melobasis Laporte & Gory is comprised of at least 80 species found throughout Australia and some in Papua New Guinea (Carter 1923,1929).

    Post-Fire Recovery of Woody Plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion

    Post-fire recovery of woody plants in the New England Tableland Bioregion Peter J. ClarkeA, Kirsten J. E. Knox, Monica L. Campbell and Lachlan M. Copeland Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA. ACorresponding author; email: [email protected] Abstract: The resprouting response of plant species to fire is a key life history trait that has profound effects on post-fire population dynamics and community composition. This study documents the post-fire response (resprouting and maturation times) of woody species in six contrasting formations in the New England Tableland Bioregion of eastern Australia. Rainforest had the highest proportion of resprouting woody taxa and rocky outcrops had the lowest. Surprisingly, no significant difference in the median maturation length was found among habitats, but the communities varied in the range of maturation times. Within these communities, seedlings of species killed by fire, mature faster than seedlings of species that resprout. The slowest maturing species were those that have canopy held seed banks and were killed by fire, and these were used as indicator species to examine fire immaturity risk. Finally, we examine whether current fire management immaturity thresholds appear to be appropriate for these communities and find they need to be amended. Cunninghamia (2009) 11(2): 221–239 Introduction Maturation times of new recruits for those plants killed by fire is also a critical biological variable in the context of fire Fire is a pervasive ecological factor that influences the regimes because this time sets the lower limit for fire intervals evolution, distribution and abundance of woody plants that can cause local population decline or extirpation (Keith (Whelan 1995; Bond & van Wilgen 1996; Bradstock et al.

    South West Queensland QLD Page 1 of 89 21-Jan-11 Species List for NRM Region South West Queensland, Queensland

    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.

    WATTLE Acacias of Australia Acacia spirorbis subsp. solandri (Benth.) Pedley Source: W orldW ideW attle ver. 2. Published at: w w w .w orldw idew attle.com See illustration. Acacia spirorbis subsp. solandri occurrence map. O ccurrence map generated via Atlas of Living Australia (https://w w w .ala.org.au). Family Fabaceae Distribution Occurs on the continental islands off the Qld coast and the immediate mainland between Townsville and Mackay, extending further S on the islands to Rat Is. near Rockhampton, and inland in the Hillborough Natl Park, SW of Townsville. It occurs on margins of rainforest and on drier sites in eucalypt woodland and open forest. Also recorded from the S coast of New Guinea, fide L.Pedley, Contr. Queensland Herb. 18: 20 (1975). The typical subspecies (which includes A. solandri subsp. kajewskii Pedley) occurs on islands of the Pacific, e.g. New Hebrides, New Caledonia and Loyality Is., fide L.Pedley, Contr. Queensland Herb. 18: 20–21 (1975). Description Tree to c. 12 m high; young plants possibly pubescent. Branchlets slender, glabrous. Phyllodes falcately recurved, 9–17 cm long, 6–16 mm wide, dark green, glabrous, with 2 main longitudinal nerves more prominent than the rest and sometimes concurrent with each other near base; minor nerves numerous, 3–5 (–6) per mm, subdistant, 0.1–0.3 mm apart, sparingly anastomosing; pulvinus 2–4 mm long, dark-coloured. Inflorescences simple or rudimentary racemes with axes c. 0.5 mm long; peduncles 2 per axil, 5–10 mm long, glabrous; spikes 3–8 cm long, interrupted, creamy. Flowers 5-merous; sepals united with broadly triangular lobes at apices, glabrous; petals strongly reflexed at anthesis; ovary densely hairy.
