  • BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION on the TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and Plants
    BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION ON THE TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and plants Report prepared by John Woinarski, Kym Brennan, Ian Cowie, Raelee Kerrigan and Craig Hempel. Darwin, August 2003 Cover photo: Tall forests dominated by Darwin stringybark Eucalyptus tetrodonta, Darwin woollybutt E. miniata and Melville Island Bloodwood Corymbia nesophila are the principal landscape element across the Tiwi islands (photo: Craig Hempel). i SUMMARY The Tiwi Islands comprise two of Australia’s largest offshore islands - Bathurst (with an area of 1693 km 2) and Melville (5788 km 2) Islands. These are Aboriginal lands lying about 20 km to the north of Darwin, Northern Territory. The islands are of generally low relief with relatively simple geological patterning. They have the highest rainfall in the Northern Territory (to about 2000 mm annual average rainfall in the far north-west of Melville and north of Bathurst). The human population of about 2000 people lives mainly in the three towns of Nguiu, Milakapati and Pirlangimpi. Tall forests dominated by Eucalyptus miniata, E. tetrodonta, and Corymbia nesophila cover about 75% of the island area. These include the best developed eucalypt forests in the Northern Territory. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 1300 rainforest patches, with floristic composition in many of these patches distinct from that of the Northern Territory mainland. Although the total extent of rainforest on the Tiwi Islands is small (around 160 km 2 ), at an NT level this makes up an unusually high proportion of the landscape and comprises between 6 and 15% of the total NT rainforest extent. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 200 km 2 of “treeless plains”, a vegetation type largely restricted to these islands.

  • Boigu Island (Wilson 2005; Schaffer 2010)
    PROFILE FOR MANAGEMENT OF THE HABITATS AND RELATED ECOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCE VALUES OF MER ISLAND January 2013 Prepared by 3D Environmental for Torres Strait Regional Authority Land & Sea Management Unit Cover image: 3D Environmental (2013) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Mer (Murray) Island is located in the eastern Torres Strait. It occupies a total area of 406 ha, and is formed on a volcanic vent which rises to height of 210m. The stark vent which dominates the island landscape is known as ‘Gelam’, the creator of the dugong in Torres Strait Island mythology. The volcanic vent of Mer is unique in an Australian context, being the only known example of a volcanic vent forming a discrete island within Australian territory. The vegetation on Mer is controlled largely by variations in soil structure and fertility. The western side of the island, which is formed on extremely porous volcanic scoria or ash, is covered in grassland due to extreme soil drainage on the volcano rim. The eastern side, which supports more luxuriant rainforest vegetation and garden areas, occupies much more fertile and favourably drained basaltic soil. A total of six natural vegetation communities, within five broad vegetation groups and two regional ecosystems are recognised on the island, representing approximately 2% of regional ecosystems recorded across the broader Torres Strait Island landscape. The ecosystems recorded are however unique to the Eastern Island Group, in particular Mer and Erub, and have no representation elsewhere in Queensland. There are also a number of highly significant culturally influenced forest types on the island which provide a window into the islands past traditional agricultural practices.

  • Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific
    Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific Craig Costion School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Adelaide Adelaide, SA 5005 Thesis by publication submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology July 2011 ABSTRACT This thesis advances plant biodiversity knowledge in three separate bioregions, Micronesia, the Queensland Wet Tropics, and South Australia. A systematic treatment of the endemic flora of Micronesia is presented for the first time thus advancing alpha taxonomy for the Micronesia-Polynesia biodiversity hotspot region. The recognized species boundaries are used in combination with all known botanical collections as a basis for assessing the degree of threat for the endemic plants of the Palau archipelago located at the western most edge of Micronesia’s Caroline Islands. A preliminary assessment is conducted utilizing the IUCN red list Criteria followed by a new proposed alternative methodology that enables a degree of threat to be established utilizing existing data. Historical records and archaeological evidence are reviewed to establish the minimum extent of deforestation on the islands of Palau since the arrival of humans. This enabled a quantification of population declines of the majority of plants endemic to the archipelago. In the state of South Australia, the importance of establishing concepts of endemism is emphasized even further. A thorough scientific assessment is presented on the state’s proposed biological corridor reserve network. The report highlights the exclusion from the reserve system of one of the state’s most important hotspots of plant endemism that is highly threatened from habitat fragmentation and promotes the use of biodiversity indices to guide conservation priorities in setting up reserve networks.

  • Apocynaceae) in Malesia
    BLUMEA 42 (1997) 191-248 A revision of Parsonsia R. Br. (Apocynaceae) in Malesia David+J. Middleton 1 Department of Botany, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland Summary The Parsonsia is revised in the Malesian Del- genus region. Lyonsia, Helygia, Cudicia, Chaetosus, Grisseea included in and 27 of which has phyodon, and are synonymy species are recognised, one 7 varieties. There are 9 new species, 4 new varieties, 2 new combinations and 2 new statuses, one of which is also a new combination. Introduction Parsonsia was first described by Robert Brown in his seminal work on the genera of the Apocynaceae and Asclepiadaceae (1810). The name commemorates Dr James Parsons. He also described whose status distinct from Parsonsia Lyonsia, a genus as has oftenbeen disputed. It is now generally accepted that Lyonsia is not distinct from Parsonsia and the separation of the two was originally based on a misinterpretation of some characters (see Markgraf, 1927: 213). Blume (1826) described a species under the genus Helygia and two species in Parsonsia. These lattertwo species have now been removed from Parsonsia to Parameriaand Urceola. Helygia was subsequently misspelled as Heligme and several more species added, particularly by Miquel (1857). This has basis at all and must be included in genus no now synonymy "despite an at- tempt to revive it due to the competing claims for the name Parsonsia. Parsonsia in the Apocynaceae has been conserved against Parsonsia in the Lythraceae. Grisseea was described with a single species by Bakhuizen van den Brink (1950) after his earlier Dutch language description (in Backer, 1948).
