By EurekAlert! Australia's giant eucalyptus trees are the tallest flowering plants on earth, yet their unique relationship with fire makes them a puzzle for ecologists. Now the first global assessment of these giants, published in New Phytologist, seeks to end a century of debate over the species' classification and may change the way it is managed in future. Gigantic trees are rare. Of the 100,000 global tree species only 50, less than 0.005 per cent, reach over 70 metres in height. While many of the giants live in Pacific North America, Borneo and similar habitats, 13 are eucalypts endemic to Southern and Eastern Australia. The tallest flowering plant in Australia is Eucalyptus regnans, with temperate eastern Victoria and Tasmania being home to the six tallest recorded species of the genus.

To dissect the genetic basis of these desirable traits, we sequenced and assembled the 408 Mb genome of Corymbia citriodora, anchored into eleven chromosomes. Comparative analysis with Eucalyptus grandis reveals high synteny, although the two diverged approximately 60 million years ago and have different genome sizes (408 vs 641 Mb), with few large intra-chromosomal rearrangements.

  • Grass Genera in Townsville
    Grass Genera in Townsville Nanette B. Hooker Photographs by Chris Gardiner SCHOOL OF MARINE and TROPICAL BIOLOGY JAMES COOK UNIVERSITY TOWNSVILLE QUEENSLAND James Cook University 2012 GRASSES OF THE TOWNSVILLE AREA Welcome to the grasses of the Townsville area. The genera covered in this treatment are those found in the lowland areas around Townsville as far north as Bluewater, south to Alligator Creek and west to the base of Hervey’s Range. Most of these genera will also be found in neighbouring areas although some genera not included may occur in specific habitats. The aim of this book is to provide a description of the grass genera as well as a list of species. The grasses belong to a very widespread and large family called the Poaceae. The original family name Gramineae is used in some publications, in Australia the preferred family name is Poaceae. It is one of the largest flowering plant families of the world, comprising more than 700 genera, and more than 10,000 species. In Australia there are over 1300 species including non-native grasses. In the Townsville area there are more than 220 grass species. The grasses have highly modified flowers arranged in a variety of ways. Because they are highly modified and specialized, there are also many new terms used to describe the various features. Hence there is a lot of terminology that chiefly applies to grasses, but some terms are used also in the sedge family. The basic unit of the grass inflorescence (The flowering part) is the spikelet. The spikelet consists of 1-2 basal glumes (bracts at the base) that subtend 1-many florets or flowers.

  • Wattled Plovers Arrived to Breed at Carolina During September, Left During March (Little 1967), and the Timing Suggests That They Move to Zimbabwe
    400 Charadriidae: plovers be caused by seasonal changes in habitat quality, mostly the availability of short-grass habitat near water. Cold winters at high altitudes with heavy frosts may reduce prey levels to the extent that birds are forced to move. Numbers in Zimbabwe increase during the period late-March to August (Tree 1977). Wattled Plovers arrived to breed at Carolina during September, left during March (Little 1967), and the timing suggests that they move to Zimbabwe. In Zambia there is consider- able movement out of the country during the rains when habitat becomes flooded and overgrown, and it is likely to move to the Caprivi Strip and Okavango Delta (Tree 1969; Aspinwall 1986). Little (1967) found that birds were already in pairs when they arrived and that these pairs were philopatric. Breeding: The season is September–January, with most breeding recorded October–November. The nest site is usually in open grassland, with good visibility. It is highly territorial during the breeding season, excluding conspecifics and many other bird species from its territory which can be large (3–6 ha) Wattled Plover and does not necessarily include the nest site (Little 1967). Lelkiewiet Interspecific relationships: It does not breed within the habitat of any other plover and does not appear to compete Vanellus senegallus with them. It sometimes feeds in loose association with Black- smith V. armatus, Crowned V. coronatus, Blackwinged V. The Wattled Plover occurs widely in sub-Saharan Africa, but melanopterus and Lesser Blackwinged V. lugubris Plovers, is absent from tropical rainforest and arid regions in the north- and Temminck’s Courser Cursorius temminckii (Ward east and southwest.

For current version, see: https://catalog.extension.oregonstate.edu/pnw613 A Pacific Northwest Extension Publication Oregon State University • Washington State University • University of Idaho Rattail Fescue Biology and Management in Pacific Northwest Wheat Cropping Systems Vulpia myuros (L.) C.C. Gmel. var. hirsuta (Hack.) Aschers. & Graebn. Daniel A. Ball and Andrew G. Hulting armers are discovering that weed management practices must be adjusted to control species Fpreviously susceptible to tillage as direct-seed wheat production practices become more widely adopted to conserve soil and water resources. Rattail fescue (Vulpia myuros) is an example, as this grass is becoming an increasingly common weed in wheat- based cropping systems across the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Rattail fescue has been a management problem in southern Australian pastures and wheat- based cropping systems since the mid-1980s (Dillon and Forcella 1984), and more recently it has become particularly widespread in PNW wheat cropping systems as minimum-tillage and direct-seeding Figure 1. Vegetative growth of rattail fescue. practices have become commonplace throughout the region. Description Rattail fescue was historically assigned to the Festuca genus because of the appearance of its stems and leaves, before being reclassified as part of the Vulpia genus. Also referred to as silvergrass, six-weeks fescue, or foxtail fescue, rattail fescue is probably native to Europe and is considered an invasive species in natural and wildland areas, native plant restoration sites, pastures, rangeland, roadsides, and cultivated cropland throughout the PNW and California (DiTomaso and Healy 2007). Rattail fescue is a cool-season, winter annual grass with tightly folded leaf blades less than 1/16- Figure 2.

  • Spur-Winged Lapwing Vanellus Spinosus
    Spur-winged Lapwing Vanellus spinosus Class: Aves Order: Charadriiformes Family: Charadriidae Characteristics: Also known as the spur-winged plover (not to be confused with the recently renamed masked lapwing of Australasia), this lapwing is a wading bird identified by their striking white cheek feathers, black head cap, brown wings against a black body and long black legs. Behavior: In Africa, lapwings don’t travel far outside their home area but merely make short movements to find wetter areas of their habitats. They spend Range & Habitat: their time searching the marshy ground for small invertebrates. Marshes and wetland habitats of central Africa Reproduction: Because of their large range, these birds have variable breeding seasons. Spur-winged lapwings nest in solitary monogamous pairs, often with other mixed species bird nesting colonies. The large nesting groups help protect the birds in the colonies against predation. The lapwing pair will build a nest in a scrape on the ground sometimes lined with vegetation. The female lays 2 eggs that are yellow with brownish black mottling. They hatch after a 28-day incubation period and both sexes help feed the young. If they double-clutch, the male tends the older chicks while the female incubates the second brood (Sacramento Zoo). Lifespan: over 15 years in Diet: captivity, up to 15 years in the Wild: Invertebrates wild. Zoo: softbill, feline diet, capelin, mealworms and insectivore diet Special Adaptations: Spur- Conservation: winged lapwings have a unique Spur-winged lapwings are abundant in their range in Africa and as such call that acts as an alert when are listed as Least Concern by IUCN.

  • Evolutionary Relationships in Eucalyptus Sens. Lat. – a Synopsis
    Euclid - Online edition Evolutionary relationships in Eucalyptus sens. lat. – a synopsis This article complements the introductory essay about eucalypts included in the "Learn about Eucalypts" section. Its aim is to provide an up-to-date account of the outcomes of research derived from different groups during the past 5 years relating to relationships within Eucalyptus s.s. As such it includes only those publications and hypotheses relating to higher level relationships of major groupings within the eucalypts. Some of the research reported below also provides insights into biogeographic relationships of the eucalypt group – in large part these are not the focus of this article and are not discussed in detail. Introduction The first comprehensive classification of the eucalypts was published by Blakely in 1934, in which he treated more than 600 taxa, building on earlier work of Maiden and Mueller. Blakely's classification remained the critical reference for Eucalyptus taxonomists for the next 37 years when a new but informal classification was published by Pryor and Johnson (1971). In this work the authors divided the genus into seven subgenera, and although of an informal nature, presented a system of great advance on Blakely's treatment. The small genus Angophora was retained. The next 20 years saw much debate about the naturalness of Eucalyptus and whether other genera should be recognized (e.g., Johnson 1987). Based on morphological data, Hill and Johnson in 1995 proposed a split in the genus and recognition of the genus Corymbia. This new genus of c. 113 species, comprised the ghost gums and the bloodwoods, and Hill and Johnson concluded that Corymbia is the sister group to Angophora, with the synapomorphy of the distinctive cap cells on bristle glands (Ladiges 1984) being unambiguous.

The status of CASG 71892 as the oldest known record of either of the two spp. of Uria was recently confirmed by the review of Watanabe et al. (2016). The younger of the two marine transgressions at the Tolstoi Point corresponds to the Bigbendian transgression (Olson, 2013), which contains the Gauss-Matuyama magnetostratigraphic boundary (Kaufman and Brigham-Grette, 1993). Attempts to date this reversal have been recently reviewed by Ohno et al. (2012); Singer (2014), and Head (2019). In particular, Deino et al. (2006) were able to tightly bracket the age of the reversal using high-precision 40Ar/39Ar dating of two tuffs in normally and reversely magnetized lacustrine sediments from Kenya, obtaining a value of 2.589 ± 0.003 Ma.
