All species and subspecies of butterflies recorded from Sulawesi and neighbouring islands (the Sulawesi Region) are listed. Notes are added on their general distribution and hostplants. References are given to key works dealing with particular genera or higher taxa, and to descriptions and illustrations of early stages. As a first step to help with identification, coloured pictures are given of exemplar adults of almost all genera. General information is given on geological and ecological features of the area. Combi- ned with the distributional information in the list and the little phylogenetic information available, ende- micity, links with surrounding areas and the evolution of the butterfly fauna are discussed.

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. -
Forests of East Australia: the 35Th Biodiversity Hotspot
Chapter 16 Forests of East Australia: The 35th Biodiversity Hotspot Kristen J. Williams, Andrew Ford, Dan F. Rosauer, Naamal De Silva, Russell Mittermeier, Caroline Bruce, Frank W. Larsen, and Chris Margules Abstract The newly identified “Forests of East Australia” Global High Bio- diversity Hotspot corresponds with two World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Ecoregions: the Eastern Australian Temperate Forests and Queensland’s Tropical Rain forests. The region contains more than 1,500 endemic vascular plants, meeting the criterion for global biodiversity significance, and more than 70% of natural areas have been cleared or degraded, meeting the criterion for a hotspot. The hotspot, although covering a large latitudinal range (15.5–35.6 South), has a predominantly summer rainfall pattern with increasing rainfall seasonality northwards into tropical areas of north Queensland. It covers large tracts of elevated tablelands and drier inland slopes, particularly in New South Wales, where it extends inland beyond the New England Tablelands and the Great Dividing Range. Varied soils result in a mosaic pattern of vegetation. Sclerophyllous communities dominated by Australia’s iconic plant, the gum-tree (Eucalyptus species), are the most prevalent vegetation type. Significant areas of rain forest exist throughout the region, much of which has persisted continuously since Gondwanan times, providing a rich living record of evolution over more than 100 million years. The human population of the hotspot as of 2006 was over nine million, with a population density of 36 people per square kilometer, mainly concentrated along the coast. About 18% of the land area is under some form of formal protection for its natural values. -

Botanical Inventory of Allerton Garden
Botanical Inventory of the Allerton Garden David H. Lorence, Ph.D., Director of Science and Tim Flynn, Collections Manager National Tropical Botanical Garden 3530 Papalina Road Kalaheo, HI 96741 Introduction and Historical Background The Allerton Garden is situated in the lower Lawai Valley, the southern portion of a 64-square mile watershed comprising a system of streams originating in the mountains above Lawai and feeding the Lawai Stream which empties into the ocean at Lawai-kai. Before Robert Allerton and John Gregg Allerton purchased the 83 acre Lawai-kai property in 1938, it had other owners and occupants, dating from the ancient Hawaiian period (pre-1848) and the Royal Period (1848- 1886) to the McBryde Period (1886-1937). With the death of John Gregg Allerton in 1986, the Allerton Garden was placed in trust and today is managed by the National Tropical Botanical Garden under an agreement with the Allerton Gardens Trust (National Tropical Botanical Garden,1997) Each set of occupants have left their mark on the flora and vegetation of Lawai Valley, often bringing in a new suite of plants, while occasionally eliminating other earlier plantings, intentionally or not. For example, Queen Emma, wife of King Kamehameha IV, is said to have introduced many flowering plants and fruit trees including bougainvillea, mango, kiawe, tamarind, Crinum lilies, and other plants. Many of these species can still be found growing in the lower Lawai valley. The Allerton Garden is a landscaped formal garden using tropical plants as a palette with shades of green and splashes of bright color. Consequently, most of the plants the Allertons used in their garden were non-native tropical plants obtained from a variety of sources, both locally and from their world voyages. -

Wet Tropics, Queensland
Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. The list of families covered in ANHAT is shown in Appendix 1. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are are not not included included in the in the summary. • The data used for this summary come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.
