It is being submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or any other examination in any other University. ______________________ ______ day of ______________________ 20_____ ii ABSTRACT Introduced plants will lose interactions with natural enemies, mutualists and competitors from their native ranges, and possibly gain interactions with new species, under new abiotic conditions in their new environment. The use of biocontrol agents is based on the premise that introduced species are liberated from their natural enemies, although in some cases introduced species may not become invasive because they acquire novel natural enemies. In this study I consider the potential for the biocontrol of Bryophyllum delagoense, a Madagascan endemic, and hypothesize as to why this plant is invasive in Australia and not in South Africa. Of the 33 species of insects collected on B. delagoense in Madagascar, three species, Osphilia tenuipes, Eurytoma bryophylli, and Rhembastus sp. showed potential as biocontrol agents in Australia.

With a little luck it will reach members without delay. This is another issue with a lot of smiles. On page 2 Janaya sounds as if she is all smiles about the results of the Heads Road/Mullum Mul- lum project and FOWSP’s part in it. Tim Entwisle’s smile graces page 3 and he has pleased FOWSPians by sharing some of his insights into our local seasons one Sprinter day. Smiles from the Gray and Bill See p. 8 to see the rest of the story. Some of our smiling new members are featured on page 4. Carol’s whimsical story about Mr Saunders may also bring a smile on page 7. On page 8, Gray entertains us with his description of some welcomed visitors to FOWSP nursery, Frogland and Parks Vic at Pound Bend. Speaking of Frogland, on the same page is a photo of a new sign for Frogland that cer- tainly makes me smile. Then there is page 9 where some birthday hijinks are featured. The last item is a bit of an update on the VCAT hearing for the proposed service station that is of great concern to many FOWPSPians.

    The Tambopata-Candamo Reserved Zone of Southeastern Perú

    Rapid Assessment Program RAP Working Papers 6 The Tambopata-Candamo Reserved Zone of Southeastern Perú: A Biological Assessment CONSERVATION INTERNATIONAL NOVEMBER 1994 Conservation Priorities: The Role of RAP Our planet faces many serious environmental problems, among them global climate change, pollution, soil erosion, and toxic waste disposal. At Conservation International (CI), we believe that there is one problem that surpasses all others in terms of importance because of its irreversibility, the extinction of biological diversity. Conservation efforts still receive only a tiny fraction of the resources, both human and financial, needed to get the job done. As a result of this, we must use available resources efficiently, applying them to those places with the highest concentrations of diversity which are at most immediate risk of disappearing. CI uses a strategic, hierarchical approach for setting conservation investment priorities. At a global level, we have targeted the “hotspots,” 15 tropical areas that hold a third or more of all terrestrial diversity and are at great risk. Our global priorities also focus on major tropical wilderness areas and the “mega- diversity” country concept, which highlights the importance of the national entities that harbor high biodiversity. We are now undertaking a series of priority-setting exercises for other major categories of ecosystems, among them marine systems, deserts, and dry forests. The next level of priority setting is the bioregional workshop, a process where experts assemble their combined knowledge of an area to map regional conservation priorities using CI’s geographic information system (CISIG). We have also taken a taxon-based approach, working with the Species Survival Commission of IUCN to produce action plans for key groups of organisms.

The genus Kalliesia gen. n. with the type species Kalliesia irana sp. n. is described from Iran. Within Psychidae, the new genus is placed in Typhoniinae: Typhoniini. The diagnostic characters of Typhoniini are revised at tribus and generic level. The genus Eumelasina Kozhanchikov, 1956 is trans- ferred from Penestoglossini to Typhoniini and Melapsyche Kozhanchikov, 1956 syn. n. synonymised with Typhonia Boisduval, 1834. Typhonia troughti (Amsel, 1955) comb. n. is redescribed and compared with Typhonia paulusella (Caradja, 1921).

    Backyard Biodiversity: Community and Wildlife Gardener Attitudes and Practices

    BACKYARD BIODIVERSITY: COMMUNITY AND WILDLIFE GARDENER ATTITUDES AND PRACTICES AMY E. SHAW Backyard Biodiversity: Community and wildlife gardener attitudes and practices by Amy E. Shaw BAnSc, Dip Ed, BEnvSc (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Deakin University January, 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS July 2013 I wish to thank first and foremost my children Evie and Loddy, and husband Andrew for all their love and support throughout this long process. As a reward, I promise to take you all for trips in my Tardis. I must also thank my parents for always supporting me in all my endeavours and I am forever grateful for the sacrifices they have made so that I could be in the position to undertake a PhD. This work would not have been possible without the support and guidance from my principle supervisor Dr Kelly Miller. Her encouragement and enthusiasm have helped immeasurably and inspired me to pursue this research. I would also like to thank my associate supervisor A/Prof Geoff Wescott for his support and feedback throughout this process, and Dr John White whose early input was greatly appreciated. I am thankful to the School of Life and Environmental Sciences for awarding me a scholarship that allowed me to undertake this work. I would also like to acknowledge fellow candidates Justin (now Dr Lawson!) and Belinda for their support and friendship, although I wasn’t often on campus, our chats certainly helped me power on! I am grateful to all members of the public who took the time to participate in this study.

    Bulgaria in Summer Naturetrek Tour Report 17 - 24 July 2017 White Stork Banded Darter Sympetrum pedemontanum female Eastern Bath White Pontia edusa Rose Plume, Cnaemidophorus rhododactyla Report and images by Alan Outen Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report Bulgaria in Summer Tour participants: Alan Outen (leader), Stoyan Beshkov & Yordan Kutsarov (Dancho) (local guides) and Eristo (driver), together with 16 Naturetrek clients Summary In the course of the week we enjoyed superb scenery and a wonderful range of wildlife. We saw an overall total of 874 identified species in addition to a few inevitably remaining unidentified. This represents the second highest total ever for this tour. This total included 400 higher plants (the highest total ever for the tour) and 314 invertebrate species, of which 87 were butterflies and 60 moths, as well as many other attractive and impressive bugs, beetles etc. We had record numbers of beetle and Arachnid species for the tour with many other groups above average. Being so late in the season it is always difficult to find birds on this tour. As such we only managed a total of 88 species. This was nonetheless still higher than for some tours where birds are a primary focus, and we had so much more besides. Day 1 Monday 17th July Our flight was a few minutes late taking off from the UK but, as so often with this route, we nonetheless arrived a few minutes early at 1.14pm (BST +2).
