The Pastoral History, Biological and Cultural Signifi cance of the Scotia Country, far Western New South Wales MARTIN WESTBROOKE Centre for Environmental Management, University of Ballarat, Mt Helen, Victoria 3353 ([email protected]) Published on 28 August 2012 at http://escholarship.library.usyd.edu.au/journals/index.php/LIN Westbrooke, M. (2012). The pastoral history, biological and cultural signifi cance of the Scotia Country, far western New South Wales. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 134, A55-A68. The Scotia country of far western New South Wales, once part of the vast Lake Victoria lease and subsequently split into six smaller properties after WW1, has one of the shortest grazing histories in the state. The low stocking rates due to unsuitable feed provided by the mallee vegetation and limited water supplies have left native vegetation communities relatively intact and close to original condition. A natural salt lake system with rare plants and plant communities adds to the values of the area. This paper reviews the pastoral history of the area and the features which make the Scotia of outstanding conservation and cultural signifi cance. Manuscript received 19 October 2011, accepted for publication 11 January 2012. KEYWORDS: conservation, cultural, mallee, pastoral lease, plant communities, Scotia.

Biogeography and Ecology in a Pantropical Family, the Meliaceae
Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore 71(Suppl. 2):335-461. 2019 335 doi: 10.26492/gbs71(suppl. 2).2019-22 Biogeography and ecology in a pantropical family, the Meliaceae M. Heads Buffalo Museum of Science, 1020 Humboldt Parkway, Buffalo, NY 14211-1293, USA. [email protected] ABSTRACT. This paper reviews the biogeography and ecology of the family Meliaceae and maps many of the clades. Recently published molecular phylogenies are used as a framework to interpret distributional and ecological data. The sections on distribution concentrate on allopatry, on areas of overlap among clades, and on centres of diversity. The sections on ecology focus on populations of the family that are not in typical, dry-ground, lowland rain forest, for example, in and around mangrove forest, in peat swamp and other kinds of freshwater swamp forest, on limestone, and in open vegetation such as savanna woodland. Information on the altitudinal range of the genera is presented, and brief notes on architecture are also given. The paper considers the relationship between the distribution and ecology of the taxa, and the interpretation of the fossil record of the family, along with its significance for biogeographic studies. Finally, the paper discusses whether the evolution of Meliaceae can be attributed to ‘radiations’ from restricted centres of origin into new morphological, geographical and ecological space, or whether it is better explained by phases of vicariance in widespread ancestors, alternating with phases of range expansion. Keywords. Altitude, limestone, mangrove, rain forest, savanna, swamp forest, tropics, vicariance Introduction The family Meliaceae is well known for its high-quality timbers, especially mahogany (Swietenia Jacq.).

Desert Plants of Utah
DESERT PLANTS OF UTAH Original booklet and drawings by Berniece A. Andersen Revised May 1996 HG 505 FOREWORD The original Desert Plants of Utah by Berniece A. Andersen has been a remarkably popular book, serving as a tribute to both her botanical knowledge of the region and to her enthusiastic manner. For these reasons, we have tried to retain as much of the original work, in both content and style, as possible. Some modifications were necessary. We have updated scientific names in accordance with changes that have occurred since the time of the first publication and we have also incorporated new geographic distributional data that have accrued with additional years of botanical exploration. The most obvious difference pertains to the organization of species. In the original version, species were organized phylogenetically, reflecting the predominant concepts of evolutionary relationships among plant families at that time. In an effort to make this version more user-friendly for the beginner, we have chosen to arrange the plants primarily by flower color. We hope that these changes will not diminish the enjoyment gained by anyone familiar with the original. We would also like to thank Larry A. Rupp, Extension Horticulture Specialist, for critical review of the draft and for the cover photo. Linda Allen, Assistant Curator, Intermountain Herbarium Donna H.

For Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution Manuscript Draft
Elsevier Editorial System(tm) for Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution Manuscript Draft Manuscript Number: MPE-15-437R1 Title: Integration of complete chloroplast genome sequences with small amplicon datasets improves phylogenetic resolution in Acacia Article Type: Research Paper Keywords: integrative systematics; whole chloroplast genome; Acacia; ExaBayes; RAxML Corresponding Author: Ms. Anna Williams, Corresponding Author's Institution: Kings Park and Botanic Garden First Author: Anna Williams Order of Authors: Anna Williams; Joseph T Miller; Ian Small; Paul G Nevill; Laura M Boykin Abstract: Combining whole genome data with previously obtained amplicon sequences has the potential to increase the resolution of phylogenetic analyses, particularly at low taxonomic levels or where recent divergence, rapid speciation or slow genome evolution has resulted in limited sequence variation. However, the integration of these types of data for large scale phylogenetic studies has rarely been investigated. Here we conduct a phylogenetic analysis of the whole chloroplast genome and two nuclear ribosomal loci for 65 Acacia species from across the most recent Acacia phylogeny. We then combine this data with previously generated amplicon sequences (four chloroplast loci and two nuclear ribosomal loci) for 508 Acacia species. We use several phylogenetic methods, including maximum likelihood bootstrapping (with and without constraint) and ExaBayes, in order to determine the success of combining a dataset of 4,000 bp with one of 189,000 bp. The results of our study indicate that the inclusion of whole genome data gave a far better resolved and well supported representation of the phylogenetic relationships within Acacia than using only amplicon sequences, with the greatest support observed when using a whole genome phylogeny as a constraint on the amplicon sequences.

Flora and Vegetation of the Eastern Goldfields Ranges: Part 5
Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 84:129-142, 2001 Flora and vegetation of the Eastern Goldfields ranges: Part 5. Hunt Range, Yendilberin and Watt Hills N Gibson & M N Lyons Science Division, Department of Conservation and Land Management, Wildlife Research Center, PO Box 51 Wanneroo, WA 6065 email: [email protected]; [email protected] (Manuscript received May 2001; accepted August 2001) Abstract A study was undertaken of the flora and plant communities of the Watt and Yendilberin Hills and the Hunt Range on Jaurdi Station. The area has a complex geology which includes Archaean mafics, ultramafics and banded ironstones, and Tertiary laterites. A total flora of 287 taxa and one hybrid was recorded from the uplands, of which 273 were native and 15 were weeds. Fifty three quadrats were established along the range system and used to define seven community types, which were most highly correlated with soil chemistry and an inferred soil moisture gradient. None of the Bungalbin vegetation system is presently in any National Park or Nature Reserve, although the northern section of the Hunt Range has been recommended for inclusion into the Mt Manning Range Nature Reserve. Mining activity in the study area has the potential to severely impact on the restricted breakaway community type. Impacts of past wood harvesting for mining operations and for the water pipeline boilers are still evident decades after these operations ceased. Keywords: flora, vegetation, Goldfields, Hunt Range, Yendilberin Hills, Watt Hills Introduction of uplands of contrasting geologies which include mafic and ultramafic ridges (these formations are commonly Greenstone and banded ironstone ranges are common termed greenstones), banded ironstones and extensive landforms of the Eastern Goldfields and extend from the Tertiary laterites.
