  • Approved Conservation Advice for Pultenaea Pauciflora (Narrogin Pea)
    This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister / Delegate of the Minister on: 16/12/2008 Approved Conservation Advice (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999) Approved Conservation Advice for Pultenaea pauciflora (Narrogin Pea) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this Conservation Advice was approved; this includes existing plans, records or management prescriptions for this species. Description Pultenaea pauciflora, Family Papilionaceae / Fabaceae, also known as Narrogin Pea, is a shrub growing to 80 cm when mature, that has abundant branches and branchlets that are mostly in false whorls. Branches are grey becoming brown, and younger ones have fine, whitish-grey hairs. Leaves are narrow or sickle-shaped and end in a 1.5–2 mm long sharp point. The green leaf blade, 15–17 mm long and 1.7 mm wide, is flat or slightly thickened. Younger leaves are greyish-green, with spreading white hairs about 2 mm long. Large, yellow, pea-like flowers are borne singly or in pairs in the leaf axils at the ends of the branchlets from October through December. Each flower has a densely haired calyx, with five lobes as long as the calyx tube. Two reddish-brown bract-like structures, 3–5 mm long, arise near the base of the calyx. The standard petal is 1 cm in diameter with a 2.5 mm claw at the base, the wing petals are 1 cm long and 3.5 mm wide, whilst the keel petal is about 1 cm long and 4.5 mm wide.

  • Avon, Western Australia
    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian 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. 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. The list of families covered in ANHAT is shown in Appendix 1. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are are not not included included in the in the summary. • The data used for this summary come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

  • Native Vascular Plant Taxa SWAFR
    SWAFR - IBRA - Native Vascular Plant Taxa Paul Gioia, Science and Conservation Division, Department of Parks and Wildlife Report generated on 22/06/2016 11:08:17 AM This analysis uses a pro tem definition of the SWAFR that served to define the study area. It was based on the collection of IBRA 6.1 bioregions most closely approximating the original definition of the Southwest Province by Beard (1980). Data for this report were derived from a snapshot taken from WAHERB on 18/05/2015 for Gioia & Hopper (2016) paper. Criteria for data extraction and analysis were: 1. All vascular plants 2. Species-rank names where the typical subspecies also existed were renamed to the typical subspecies to avoid counting duplicate taxa 3. Native vascular taxa with current names Note: 1. This report contains information generated from intersecting the supplied polygon layer LOCAL_SWFIBR with the point species occurrence layer WAHERB_FILT_NATIVE. 2. Endemism is calculated based on the records available to this analysis and is not necessarily authoritative.

  • Phylogenetic Distribution and Evolution of Mycorrhizas in Land Plants

Sev- few major surveys have been conducted on their phyloge- eral findings from this survey enhance our understanding of netic distribution in various groups of land plants either by the roles of mycorrhizas in the origin and subsequent diver- retrieving information from literature or through direct ob- sification of land plants. First, 80 and 92% of surveyed land servation (Trappe 1987; Harley and Harley 1987;Newman plant species and families are mycorrhizal. Second, arbus- and Reddell 1987).

  • Contrasting Influences of Geographic Range and Distribution of Populations on Patterns of Genetic Diversity in Two Sympatric Pilbara Acacias
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Contrasting Influences of Geographic Range and Distribution of Populations on Patterns of Genetic Diversity in Two Sympatric Pilbara Acacias E. Levy*, M. Byrne, D. J. Coates, B. M. Macdonald, S. McArthur, S. van Leeuwen Science and Conservation Division, Department of Parks and Wildlife, Perth, Western Australia, Australia a11111 * [email protected] Abstract The influence of geographic range on species persistence has long been of interest and there is a need for a better understanding of the genetic consequences for species with OPEN ACCESS restricted distributions, particularly with the increasing rate of global species extinctions. Citation: Levy E, Byrne M, Coates DJ, Macdonald However, the genetic effects of restricted range are often confounded by the impacts of BM, McArthur S, van Leeuwen S (2016) Contrasting Influences of Geographic Range and population distribution.
