5.4 Insect Visitors to Marianthus Aquilonaris and Surrounding Flora
REPORT: Insect visitors to Marianthus aquilonaris and surrounding flora Nov 2-4, 2019 Kit Prendergast, Native bee scientist BSc First Class Honours, PhD researcher and Forrest Scholar On behalf of Botanica Consulting 1 REPORT: Insect visitors to Marianthus aquilonaris and surrounding flora Nov 2-4 2019 Kit Prendergast, Native bee scientist Background Marianthus aquilonaris (Fig. 1) was declared as Rare Flora under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 in 2002 under the name Marianthus sp. Bremer, and is ranked as Critically Endangered (CR) under the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN 2001) criteria B1ab(iii,v)+2ab(iii,v); C2a(ii) due to its extent of occurrence being less than 100 km2, its area of occupancy being less than 10 km2, a continuing decline in the area, extent and/or quality of its habitat and number of mature individuals and there being less than 250 mature individuals known at the time of ranking (Appendix A). However, it no longer meets these criteria as more plants have been found, and a recommendation has been proposed to be made by DBCA to the Threatened Species Scientific Committee (TSSC) to change its conservation status to CR B1ab(iii,v)+2ab(iii,v) (Appendix A), but this recommendation has not gone ahead (DEC, 2010). Despite its listing as CR under the Western Australian Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016, the species is not currently listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The main threats to the species are mining/exploration, track maintenance and inappropriate fire regimes (DEC, 2010). Fig. 1. Marianthus aquilonaris, showing flower, buds and leaves. -

10 Seed Release and Dispersal Mechanisms
10 Seed Release and Dispersal Mechanisms For seedling recruitment to occur seeds need to be dispersed into an environment that promotes germination and seedling survival. Dispersal consists of two phases. Primary dispersal is defined as the initial transport of seeds or seed-bearing fruits (collectively seeds and fruits are called diaspores) to the ground or water body, or for aerial parasites, a host branch. Secondary dispersal relates to any subsequent movement to the seed’s final resting place. Primary dispersal may be active (e.g. seeds released explosively from the fruit, e.g. dehiscence (opening) of Hardenbergia pods), passive (e.g. seeds fall out when the capsules of Eucalyptus open), or require a vector to aid in seed removal (e.g. wind uplift of winged seeds of Hakea or winged fruits of Nuytsia; Amyema berries consumed by mistletoe birds). Secondary dispersal involves either a biotic (e.g. ants) or environmental (e.g. wind, water) vector, and it is usually a different mechanism than that involved in primary dispersal. While primary dispersal is usually only for a few metres, secondary dispersal may cover several kilometres, and sometimes thousands for tiny seeds. This chapter covers some of the dispersal mechanisms exhibited by the SouthWest flora following their release. Terminology used to describe seed dispersal mechanisms is provided in Table 10.1. Table 10.1: Seed dispersal terminology. Term Definition Anemochory Wind dispersed Chamaechory Dispersal by rolling along the ground (wind assisted) Zoochory Animal dispersed (general) Myrmecochory Ant dispersed Ornithochory Bird dispersed Mammalochory Mammal dispersed Hydrochory Water dispersed Barochory Unassisted (gravity causes seeds to drop to the ground) Autochory Dispersal assisted by the actions of the parent plant (e.g. -

Very unusual. KING’S PARK, PERTH. Ade Foster The year, for me, as editor, has started out Penny and I spent a delightful weekend in Perth extremely well. I’ve had several contributions of during January, ostensibly to attend a birthday party. articles already, with short one from Liz Wells Really it was an excuse to spend another day at King’s appearing in this edition, and a series by Roger Park, which is truly one of the must visit places in Wileman starting next issue. I am very grateful to Western Australia.

We attempted to extract fossil pollen from 81 speleothems collected from 11 16 caves from the Western Australian portion of the Nullarbor Plain. Nullarbor speleothems 12 and caves are essentially “fossil” features that appear to have been preserved by very slow 13 rates of landscape change in a semi-arid landscape. Sample collection targeted fallen, well 14 preserved speleothems in multiple caves. U-Pb dates of these speleothems (Table S3) 15 ranged from late Miocene (8.19 Ma) to Middle Pleistocene (0.41 Ma), with an average age 16 of 4.11 Ma. 17 Fossil pollen typically is present in speleothems in very low concentrations, so pollen 18 processing techniques were developed to minimize contamination by modern pollen (1), but 19 also to maximize recovery, to accommodate the highly variable organic matter content of the 20 speleothems, and to remove a clay- to fine silt-sized mineral fraction present in many 21 samples, which was resistant to cold HF and which can become electrostatically attracted to 22 pollen grains, inhibiting their identification.
