Yap a Dissertation Submitted in P Phylogeography and Demography of Common Plant Species from the Philippine Islands by Sandra L. Yap A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Robyn J. Burnham, Chair Assistant Professor Christopher W. Dick Assistant Professor Inés Ibáñez Research Scientist Anton Reznicek ! Sandra L. Yap 2010 I dedicate this dissertation to my family, Simplicio, Virgilia, Valerie, Sarah, Vivien, Vanessa, John Simon, and Vincent Rupert Yap !!" " Acknowledgements Finishing this dissertation would not have been possible without the unwavering support of my adviser, Robyn Burnham. Robyn helped me in countless ways from painstakingly reviewing my writing, to working out research problems by simply making me finish my thoughts out loud, and to giving me yoga advice so that I could relieve myself of stress. I’m even thankful for the Message Box. She truly went above and beyond, literally at 33,000 feet and figuratively. I’d also like to thank Chris Dick who generously shared his time, expertise, lab, and students to generate data, questions, and discussions. And to the other members of my thesis committee, Tony Reznicek and Ines Ibanez, thank you for asking me questions that helped refine my research. I am indebted to the Rackham Graduate School and the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department for furnishing me with grants to conduct my field research and molecular studies. I am also thankful for the support from the Barbour Scholarship allowing me time to focus on my dissertation. During the course of my time in Ann Arbor, I’ve made some incredible friends who’ve served as sounding boards, statistical consultants, editors, and most importantly, wonderful company at all times. My heartfelt thanks goes to Luis Fernando Chaves and Diego Alvarado Serrano who stuck it out with me until the very end; to Lan Nguyen, who made me follow the straight and narrow the first two years of graduate school; to Nicolas !!!" " Cabrera, who is still only a phone call away; to Susana Pereira for teaching me molecular techniques and sharing kartoffel- and Silvio’s pizza; the Burnham and Dick labs, Paul, Dave, Hope, Hoa, David, and others, for the daily company, lab meetings, and discussions; and to the multitude of people from LOTS and Beverly’s seminars through the years for cultivating a critical and inquisitive mind. I am also grateful to Leonard Co, who was the first to really introduce me to botany, ecology, and evolution. You are an inspiration. I thank my friend and colleague, Jean Molina, for the fun times in the field and for hashing out ideas; my friends, Mae, Hazel, Amber, for all the support through the years; my field assistant, Jun, for going where I went and doing the heavy lifting; and Dan, Jim, Stuart, and CI who all trusted that I could do my job, cheaply. Finally, I thank my family: my sister Vivien, for listening, commiserating, and believing in me; my parents, Virgilia and Simplicio Yap, for their unconditional support, prayers and sacrifice, and encouragement to pursue my interests even when those interests went beyond medicine; my other brothers and sisters Valerie, Sarah, Vanessa, Simon, and Vincent, also for their love, support, and constant phone calls; and, my cousins Marilyn, Ria, and Melissa Lim, for the fun, relaxing company during breaks from my research.

ABSTRACT Phylogeography and Demography of Common Plant Species from the Philippine Islands by Sandra L. Yap Chair: Robyn J. Burnham Effects of historical and current environmental conditions on plant populations from the Philippine Archipelago are investigated. The complex geologic history of the Philippines creating a diverse and highly endemic flora is reviewed. Apart from tectonic activity, the islands were subjected to changes in topography, temperature, and precipitation from Pleistocene glacial and interglacial periods (Heaney, 1991). Comparative phylogeography is used to determine the effects of Pleistocene events on the population genetic structure of two endemic species, Daemonorops mollis (Arecaceae) and Macaranga bicolor (Euphorbiaceae). Limited variation and the distribution of unique haplotypes in both species suggest that during periods of lowered sea levels, rainforest habitats were maintained as refugia throughout the archipelago.

The study aimed to document plant diversity and to identify interesting, endemic, rare and threatened plant species which were considered high conservation value species. A total of 413 species from 82 families were recorded from the study area of which 93 taxa were endemic to Borneo, including 10 endemic to Sabah. These high conservation value species are key conservation targets for any forested area such as ICCA. Proper knowledge of plant diversity and their conservation status is vital for the formulation of a forest management plan for the Batu Timbang area.

  • Australian Essential Oils History and Emerging Trends
    Australian Essential Oils – History and Emerging Trends Ashley Dowell – Essential Oil Producers Association of Australia & Southern Cross University 23 rd October 2019 Introduction Australia has a unique flora largely of Gondwanan origin with later influence from the Indian subcontinent and South East Asia. Gondwana land was a pre-historic super continent including Australia, New Zealand, South America, Antarctica, Africa and the Indian sub-continent. Although separating early, it is proposed that Australia and India re-connected for a period of time before separating again. In more recent history Australia was connected to South-east Asia by land bridges which arose due to falling sea levels resulting from ice age glaciation Dominant plant families present in Australia include the essential oil bearing genus: Myrtaceae – Eucalyptus, Melaleuca, Leptospermum Rutaceae – Boronia, Citrus Other significant essential oil bearing plant families found in Australia are the Santalaceae, Myoporaceae, and Cupressaceae. Australia is often perceived as a land of deserts but is in fact a diverse collection of fire and drought adapted environments. Eucalypt woodlands make up to 39% of Australian vegetative cover, predominantly in New South Wales and Queensland followed by Hummock grasslands at 23% found mostly in Western Australia, Queensland and New SouthWales and Acacia woodlands occupying 10-20%, mostly in Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales. There are significant areas of Acacia shrublands, Tussock grasslands and Chenopod shrubs and forblands, particularly in South Australia. There are relatively small (less than 70,000 Km2) but biologically significant areas of tropical and temperate rainforest in eastern coastal areas from Queensland to Tasmania, as well as Tall eucalypts forests and Callitris and Casuarina forests further inland and in sub-alpine areas.

    Maintenance and conservation of Dipterocarp diversity in tropical forests _______________________________________________ Mohammad Nazrin B Abdul Malik A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Science Department of Animal and Plant Sciences November 2019 1 i Thesis abstract Many theories and hypotheses have been developed to explain the maintenance of diversity in plant communities, particularly in hyperdiverse tropical forests. Maintenance of the composition and diversity of tropical forests is vital, especially species of high commercial value. I focus on the high value dipterocarp timber species of Malaysia and Borneo as these have been extensive logged owing to increased demands from global timber trade. In this thesis, I explore the drivers of diversity of this group, as well as the determinants of global abundance, conservation and timber value. The most widely supported hypothesis for explaining tropical diversity is the Janzen Connell hypothesis. I experimentally tested the key elements of this, namely density and distance dependence, in two dipterocarp species. The results showed that different species exhibited different density and distance dependence effects. To further test the strength of this hypothesis, I conducted a meta-analysis combining multiple studies across tropical and temperate study sites, and with many species tested. It revealed significant support for the Janzen- Connell predictions in terms of distance and density dependence. Using a phylogenetic comparative approach, I highlight how environmental adaptation affects dipterocarp distribution, and the relationships of plant traits with ecological factors and conservation status. This analysis showed that environmental and ecological factors are related to plant traits and highlights the need for dipterocarp conservation priorities.
