  • The Australian Species of Dolichopeza CURTIS (Diptera: Tipulidae)

Beitr. 25/2 833-911 31.12.1993 The Australian species of Dolichopeza CURTIS (Diptera: Tipulidae) G. THEISCHINGER Abstract: The Australian species of the genus Dolichopeza CURTIS are reviewed. For the time being they all are assigned to Dolichopeza s. str. Lectotypes are designated for seven species. One taxon previously regarded as a subspecies is given füll specific rank, and one species is synonymized. In total 28 previously described species are recognized. The males of two of those species previously known only from the female, and the females of th- ree of those species previously known only from the male, are introduced, and 18 species are described as new. A key is presented to species groups as recognized in this paper (males only). Key-words: Dolichopeza, revision; Australian species. Introduction The first description of an Australian species of Dolichopeza CURTIS was presented by MACQUART (1846) under Apeilesis cinerea. To this SKUSE (1890) added seven more species, and ALEXANDER (1920, 1924, 1928a, 1928b, 1930, 1934, 1937, 1944) contributed another 19 taxa of the species group. However, only SKUSE (1890) provided illustrations, for four of his species. DOBROTWORSKY (1974) revised the Australian members of Do- lichopeza. He (DOBROTWORSKY 1974) synonymized one of ALEXANDER'S species, attributed full specific rank to one of ALEXANDER'S subspecies, re- described all previously known species which he recognized, and described three more species.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Geoinformatic analysis of vegetation and climate change on intertidal sedimentary landforms in southeastern Australian estuaries from 1975-2015 Abstract Vegetation canopies represent the main ecosystems on intertidal landforms and they clearly respond to changes in coastal environments. Climate change, including temperature, precipitation and sea level rise, are affecting the health and distribution of coastal vegetation, as well as the runoff nda sedimentation rates that can impact coastal areas. This study has used the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to investigate vegetation canopy dynamics on three different coastal sites in southeastern Australia over the past 47 years (1975 2015). NDVIs temporal-datasets have been built from satellite images derived from Landsat 1 8. These were then regressed to the climatic and geomorphic variables. Results show clear increases in NDVI at Towamba and Wandandian Estuaries, but a decline at Comerong Island (southeastern Australia).

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] The Illawarra Escarpment Abstract The llIawarra escarpment is one of the most striking features of the N.S.W. coast, for it runs like a great unbreached wall for some 120km, and dominates the narrow plains below. Vet little hes been written about it, and some of the brief commentaries that have appeared are incorrect. This account outlines the major feature. of the escarpment, its origins, and also the hazards of land slip encountered on its slopes. Publication Details This report was originally published as Young, RW, The Illawarra Escarpment, Wollongong Studies in Geography No.2, Department of Geography, University of Wollongong, 1980, 4p. This report is available at Research Online: https://ro.uow.edu.au/wollgeo/2 Some parts of the escarpment have been worn back much farther from the coast than have others. At first sight this seems, as Griffith Taylor (1923) argued, to be simply a matter of the differential resistance to erosion of the varied rocks exposed along the escarpment.

  • Functioning and Changes in the Streamflow Generation of Catchments
    Ecohydrology in space and time: functioning and changes in the streamflow generation of catchments Ralph Trancoso Bachelor Forest Engineering Masters Tropical Forests Sciences Masters Applied Geosciences A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Trancoso, R. (2016) PhD Thesis, The University of Queensland Abstract Surface freshwater yield is a service provided by catchments, which cycle water intake by partitioning precipitation into evapotranspiration and streamflow. Streamflow generation is experiencing changes globally due to climate- and human-induced changes currently taking place in catchments. However, the direct attribution of streamflow changes to specific catchment modification processes is challenging because catchment functioning results from multiple interactions among distinct drivers (i.e., climate, soils, topography and vegetation). These drivers have coevolved until ecohydrological equilibrium is achieved between the water and energy fluxes. Therefore, the coevolution of catchment drivers and their spatial heterogeneity makes their functioning and response to changes unique and poses a challenge to expanding our ecohydrological knowledge. Addressing these problems is crucial to enabling sustainable water resource management and water supply for society and ecosystems. This thesis explores an extensive dataset of catchments situated along a climatic gradient in eastern Australia to understand the spatial and temporal variation
