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.

    Host Plant List of the Whiteflies (Aleyrodidae) of the World

    Version 070611 June 11, 2007 HOST PLANT LIST OF THE WHITEFLIES (ALEYRODIDAE) OF THE WORLD GREGORY A. EVANS USDA/Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) The following host plant list was extracted from the Whitefly Taxonomic and Ecological database and edited to make it more readable. I listed the host plants alphabetically by genus with the plant family in brackets after the name. I listed the whiteflies that have been recorded from the plant host under each species with the country where the collection was made in brackets. The records include published records of whiteflies and their hosts from articles on whiteflies, what has been recorded in the parasitoid literature, unpublished records of specimens identified by Avas Hamon in the FSCA (Florida State Collection of Arthropods, Gainesville, FL, USA) collection and unpublished records of whiteflies intercepted at U.S. Ports of Entry. I decided to include the latter records because they indicate the likely host plant and country of origin of the species, although the actual presence of these species on these hosts in these countries should be confirmed by collections made on these host plants within the country. I thank Peter Touhey (USDA/APHIS) for extracting these records for me from the USDA/APHIS database. Most of the records from the U.S. ports of entry come from specimens identified by John W. Dooley (USDA/APHIS) or Steve Nakahara (USDA/ARS/SEL). Note that many of the host plant records for Bemisia tabaci and Trialeurodes vaporariorum are not included. These two species are highly polyphagous, it would not be surprising to find these species on almost any terrestrial plant.

    J The Victorian Naturalist Volume 113(1) 199 February Club of Victoria Published by The Field Naturalists since 1884 MUSEUM OF VICTOR A 34598 From the Editors Members Observations As an introduction to his naturalist note on page 29, George Crichton had written: 'Dear Editors late years the Journal has become I Was not sure if it was of any relevance, as of ' very scientific, and ordinary nature reports or gossip of little importance We would be very sorry if members felt they could not contribute to The Victorian Naturalist, and we assure all our readers that the editors would be more than pleased to publish their nature reports or notes. We can, however, only print material that we actually receive and you are encouraged to send in your observations and notes or suggestions for topics you would like to see published. These articles would be termed Naturalist Notes - see in our editorial policy below. Editorial Policy Scope The Victorian Naturalist publishes articles on all facets of natural history. Its primary aims are to stimulate interest in natural history and to encourage the publication of arti- cles in both formal and informal styles on a wide range of natural history topics. Authors may submit the material in the following forms: Research Reports - succinct and original scientific communications. Contributions - may consist of reports, comments, observations, survey results, bib- liographies or other material relating to natural history. The scope is broad and little defined to encourage material on a wide range of topics and in a range of styles. This allows inclusion of material that makes a contribution to our knowledge of natural his- tory but for which the traditional format of scientific papers is not appropriate.
  • Selecting and Planting Trees to Lower Risk of Pipe Blockages

    Selecting and Planting Trees to Lower Risk of Pipe Blockages

    Pipes : Selecting and planting trees to lower risk of blockages This guide is designed to help you select tree and shrub species that will minimise a common problem caused by trees in home gardens – blockages (or chokes) in sewerage and water pipes. Blockages of pipes don’t only cause inconvenience; they can also result in serious health problems if they lead to sewage overflowing. They are expensive to clear and if sections of pipe need to be replaced, or a problem tree removed, the cost can be significant. Many people don’t plant trees anywhere near their pipes, though this guide lists many species you can confidently plant as close as two metres. Fine hair roots will seek out and penetrate even small cracks or joints in pipes. In addition, the force from larger roots can crack previously sound pipes, creating an entry point. Once roots have entered a pipe they grow quickly and can cause serious and costly failures in pipe systems. Some species’ roots, for instance willows and poplars, can be found more than 30 metres from the tree base. It’s much better to avoid the cause of tree root problems rather than face an inconvenient and costly remedy after the damage has been done. What if the blockage is on my property? If you have a blockage in pipes before the connection to SA Water’s mains in the street or an easement, it is your responsibility. To clear any blockages and replace sections if necessary, the services of a registered plumber must be used – this is a legal requirement of the Sewerage Act 1929.

  • The Role of Biome Shifts in Lineage Diversification

    The Role of Biome Shifts in Lineage Diversification Esther Elizabeth Dale Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Botany, University of Otago November 2018 II Abstract This thesis examines the role of biomes in lineage diversification. It explores whether biome conservatism, the tendency to remain in ancestral biomes, constrains diversification, and tests whether biome shifts are linked to characteristics of particular biomes, clades or traits. This work focuses on a series of radiations in Australia and New Zealand. Using the hyper-diverse genus Acacia in Australia, Species Distribution Models (SDM) were used to predict distributions and niche traits of 481 species in 19 clades across two biome typologies. Diversification was not constrained to any biomes, with most species (94%) occupying multiple biomes, but diversification was greatest in those biomes currently occupying larger areas. New Zealand groups (Poaceae, Melicytus, Myrsine and Pseudopanax) with small scale radiations (< 25 species) were then investigated in relation to occupancy of the three main biomes (Forest, Open and Alpine). A temporal sequence of biome availability in New Zealand allowed an examination of diversification in the context of the directional transition from forest to more open biomes. A combination of methods including SDM, biogeographical models, and trait measurements of plants grown in a common garden were utilised to explore the importance of biome shifts during diversification, the relationship between trait shifts and biome shifts, and ask if biome conservatism was prevalent in the different clades. Biome conservatism did not constrain diversification in New Zealand lineages. Biome shifts were generally frequent and more closely related to extrinsic biome factors like biome age, biome availability and relative environmental similarity between biomes, rather than to intrinsic features of lineages, such as clade size, diversification rate or age.
