The Swam p Oak has a more uniform grain and is consequently much tou gher than tl-ir forest oak, in shi p building it would answer for scantling. The forest oak is short grained the wood is apt to fly, it is used chiefly in Cabinet work, and of bcth these woods the paling and shingles are made on the Colony. 7.

Box 208106, New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8106, U.S.A. Broad-scale phylogenetic analyses of the angiosperms and of the Asteridae have failed to confidently resolve relationships among the major lineages of the campanulid Asteridae (i.e., the euasterid II of APG II, 2003). To address this problem we assembled presently available sequences for a core set of 50 taxa, representing the diver- sity of the four largest lineages (Apiales, Aquifoliales, Asterales, Dipsacales) as well as the smaller “unplaced” groups (e.g., Bruniaceae, Paracryphiaceae, Columelliaceae). We constructed four data matrices for phylogenetic analysis: a chloroplast coding matrix (atpB, matK, ndhF, rbcL), a chloroplast non-coding matrix (rps16 intron, trnT-F region, trnV-atpE IGS), a combined chloroplast dataset (all seven chloroplast regions), and a combined genome matrix (seven chloroplast regions plus 18S and 26S rDNA). Bayesian analyses of these datasets using mixed substitution models produced often well-resolved and supported trees.

    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.

Karen A. Johnson Statement of authority of access This thesis may be made available for copying. Copying of any part of this thesis is prohibited for two years from the date this statement was signed; after that time limited copying is permitted in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Karen A. Johnson iii iv Abstract Relationships between plants and their pollinators are thought to have played a major role in the morphological diversification of angiosperms. The epacrids (subfamily Styphelioideae) comprise more than 550 species of woody plants ranging from small prostrate shrubs to temperate rainforest emergents. Their range extends from SE Asia through Oceania to Tierra del Fuego with their highest diversity in Australia. The overall aim of the thesis is to determine the relationships between epacrid floral features and potential pollinators, and assess the evolutionary status of any pollination syndromes. The main hypotheses were that flower characteristics relate to pollinators in predictable ways; and that there is convergent evolution in the development of pollination syndromes.

  • 10 Seed Release and Dispersal Mechanisms
    10 Seed Release and Dispersal Mechanisms For seedling recruitment to occur seeds need to be dispersed into an environment that promotes germination and seedling survival. Dispersal consists of two phases. Primary dispersal is defined as the initial transport of seeds or seed-bearing fruits (collectively seeds and fruits are called diaspores) to the ground or water body, or for aerial parasites, a host branch. Secondary dispersal relates to any subsequent movement to the seed’s final resting place. Primary dispersal may be active (e.g. seeds released explosively from the fruit, e.g. dehiscence (opening) of Hardenbergia pods), passive (e.g. seeds fall out when the capsules of Eucalyptus open), or require a vector to aid in seed removal (e.g. wind uplift of winged seeds of Hakea or winged fruits of Nuytsia; Amyema berries consumed by mistletoe birds). Secondary dispersal involves either a biotic (e.g. ants) or environmental (e.g. wind, water) vector, and it is usually a different mechanism than that involved in primary dispersal. While primary dispersal is usually only for a few metres, secondary dispersal may cover several kilometres, and sometimes thousands for tiny seeds. This chapter covers some of the dispersal mechanisms exhibited by the SouthWest flora following their release. Terminology used to describe seed dispersal mechanisms is provided in Table 10.1. Table 10.1: Seed dispersal terminology. Term Definition Anemochory Wind dispersed Chamaechory Dispersal by rolling along the ground (wind assisted) Zoochory Animal dispersed (general) Myrmecochory Ant dispersed Ornithochory Bird dispersed Mammalochory Mammal dispersed Hydrochory Water dispersed Barochory Unassisted (gravity causes seeds to drop to the ground) Autochory Dispersal assisted by the actions of the parent plant (e.g.

Hence, there is a tendency of species misidentification using only the mor- phological characters. Herein, we evaluated the discriminatory power of the universal DNA barcodes (matK and rbcL) for 53 species spanning the two families. Using these markers, we inferred phylogenetic relation- ships and conducted species delimitation analysis using four delimitation methods: Automated Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD), TaxonDNA, Bayesian Poisson Tree Processes (bPTP) and General Mixed Yule Coalescent (GMYC). The phylogenetic reconstruction based on the matK gene resolved the relationships between the families and further suggested the expansion of the Lamiaceae to include some core Verbanaceae genus, e.g., Gmelina.
