Threatened Species Translocation Plan Button Wrinklewort (Rutidosis
Threatened Species Translocation Plan Button Wrinklewort (Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides) Summary Button wrinklewort Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides is a perennial wildflower that grows in grasslands and woodlands in Victoria, NSW and the ACT. There are only 29 known extant populations of the species left and only 8 that contain 5000 or more plants. The species is listed as endangered both nationally (EPBC Act 1999) and locally (Nature Conservation Act 2014). Increasing the number of populations through the establishment of new, self-sustaining populations is identified as a key management objective for the preservation of R. leptorrhynchoides in perpetuity in the wild (ACT Government 2017). The translocation will be undertaken at the Barrer Hill restoration area (Molonglo River Reserve, ACT). The restoration area supports potentially suitable habitat, is within the species known range and is believed to have supported R. leptorrhynchoides in the past. Furthermore, the Molonglo River Reserve is recognised as a biodiversity offset with significant and ongoing funding committed to the restoration, protection and ongoing management of reserve. Objectives To establish a new, self-sustaining, genetically diverse population of Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides within the Molonglo River Reserve that is capable of surviving in both the short and long term. Proponents Parks and Conservation Service (PCS) and Conservation Research (CR), Environment and Planning Directorate (EPD). Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG) Greening Australia (GA) Translocation team Richard Milner – Ecologist (PCS) Greg Baines – Senior vegetation ecologist (CR) Emma Cook – Vegetation ecologist (CR) David Taylor (ANBG) Martin Henery (ANBG) Nicki Taws (GA) Background Description The Button Wrinklewort Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides (Figure 1) is an erect perennial forb from the daisy family (Asteraceae).

Environmental Conservation and Restoration Ecology: Two Facets of the Same Problem
Web Ecology 1: 20–27. Environmental conservation and restoration ecology: two facets of the same problem Krystyna M. Urbanska Urbanska, K. M. 2000. Environmental conservation and restoration ecology: two facets of the same problem. – Web Ecol. 1: 20–27. Restoration ecology has often been regarded as a subordinate component of conserva- tion biology and yet the two disciplines differ from each other. Conservation aims at staving off extinction, i.e. preserving ecological structures and services which still exist, however endangered they may be. On the other hand, the principal objective of restora- tion is re-building ecological structures and services that have been destroyed. The most distinct focus of conservation is on population response to exploitation, whereas resto- ration is principally concerned with over-exploited sites and landscapes in which com- munities/ecosystems are to be re-built. Conservation aims at preserving as many species as possible; on the other hand, the biodiversity approach in restoration may be ad- dressed on three levels viz. 1) initial species diversity, 2) post-restoration increase of diversity via spontaneous species immigration, and 3) age-state diversity of developing plant cover. The conceptual framework in conservation biology differs from that in restoration ecol- ogy. The two basic paradigms used in conservation biology are 1) small-population paradigm and 2) declining-population paradigm, and one of its useful concepts is pop- ulation viability assessment (PVA). The two principal paradigms used in restoration ecology are 1) nature-in-balance paradigm and 2) nature-in-flux paradigm. Interfaces between conservation and restoration may be recognized when e.g., recovery strategies for threatened species include habitat/ecosystem restoration, or when population proc- esses in non-threatened species are studied to verify their usefulness as restoration mate- rial.

Grassy Groundcover Gazette December 2016
Grassy Groundcover Gazette News, updates and on ground action December 2016 In the last year’s edition there were a number of stories Dr Paul Gibson-Roy focussed on sites that had recently been restored. Cath Lead Scientist Olive spoke about her Euroa Arboretum site seeded by Rod and Dave. Cath and I crossed paths recently at this Greening Australia (NSW) year’s ANPC national conference held at the Botanic Paul’s Piece Gardens in Melbourne. I was thrilled to hear her report on how much things have progressed there. Likewise, I caught up with Shaun Kennedy from SA Water earlier in Hello once again to all our readers. As always I’m grateful Sydney, and he told me how the grassy restoration works to have this opportunity to communicate with you all at he’s initiated in South Australia in recent years are this hectic time of the year and reflect on ‘things grassy’ looking fine and robust. The same could be said from a as we do in this newsletter. Each year I tend to comment conversation I had with Geoff Robertson from FOG. Geoff on ‘steps forward or backwards’ for our sector, and while had been to the Heritage Trust’s Scottsdale property acknowledging there continues to be serious limitations south of Canberra to look at a wildflower seeding that restrict progress for restoration and conservation in undertaken by GAs Canberra team. He said it was looking general, this year I’m going to try and focus more on the wonderful and now represents a rare patch of dense positives (many of which will be made clearer in the wildflowers in a district otherwise dominated by African articles that follow).

Genetics and Conservation Biology
C. R. Biologies 326 (2003) S22–S29 Genetics and conservation biology Richard Frankham Key Centre for Biodiversity and Bioresources, Department of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University, NSW 2109, Australia Abstract Conservation genetics encompasses genetic management of small populations, resolution of taxonomic uncertainties and management units, and the use of molecular genetic analyses in forensics and to understanding species’ biology. The role of genetic factors in extinctions of wild populations has been controversial, but evidence now shows that they make important contributions to extinction risk. Inbreeding has been shown to cause extinctions of wild populations, computer projections indicate that inbreeding depression has important effects on extinction risk, and most threatened species show signs of genetic deterioration. Inappropriate management is likely to result if genetic factors are ignored in threatened species management. To cite this article: R. Frankham, C. R.

La génétique de la conservation inclut la gestion génétique des petites populations, la résolution des incertitudes taxinomiques et des unités de gestion, l’utilisation d’analyses moléculaires dans l’expertise et la compréhension de la biologie des espèces. Le rôle des facteurs génétiques dans l’extinction des populations sauvages a été controversé, mais il a été mis en évidence que cela contribue grandement au risque d’extinction. La consanguinité provoque des extinctions de populations sauvages, les modélisations indiquent que la dépression de consanguinité a des effets importants sur les risques d’extinction et la plupart des espèces en danger souffrent de détérioration génétique.

Printed in the United Kingdom # 1999 Cambridge University Press 111 Paternal bottlenecks in fragmented populations of the grassland daisy Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides ANDREW G.YOUNG* ANTHONY H.D.BROWN Centre for Plant Biodiersity Research, CSIRO Diision of Plant Industry, GPO Box 1600, Canberra, ACT 2601, Australia (Receied 29 May 1998 and in reised form 16 September 1998) Summary Allozyme markers were used to estimate mating system parameters in nine fragmented populations of the grassland daisy Rutidosis leptorrhynchoides that differed in size and spatial isolation. Multilocus estimates of outcrossing rate did not differ significantly among populations, all indicating a high level of outcrossing (tm l 0n84–1n0). Small populations showed greater divergence than large populations between the allele frequencies in the population and those in the pollen pool, indicating paternal bottlenecks. Isolated populations of fewer than 200 individuals also exhibited higher correlations of outcrossed paternity (rp) than larger populations, indicating the production of more full-sibs within families. The combination of paternal bottlenecks and correlated paternity increases the genetic identity of progeny across families and predisposes populations to biparental inbreeding in subsequent generations. As over half the remaining populations of R. leptorrhynchoides contain fewer than 200 plants, such second-order inbreeding may threaten the viability of the species if it is associated with significant inbreeding depression. long-term viability and conservation value, subject to 1.
