You have been a source of inspiration and a well of kindness providing support which was above and beyond your requirements, and I am deeply thankful. Vanessa, you've been with me since I was a starry-eyed MSc student, and, over the many years, you have always been unendingly generous with your time, thorough in your feedback and inspiringly insightful. I owe you more than I can ever repay. Claudia, I so admire your strength and the sheer depth of your capabilities. I have really enjoyed learning from you. Marcus, you may well be one of the busiest people I know, but you adopted me into your group, and I will be forever thankful. I have benefited enormously from your good humour and quick wit - I've never had a problem you couldn't solve. A very special thank you to Stephanie Duce, who has been a magnificent primary supervisor and an unending source of knowledge, enthusiasm and mentorship. Always quick to respond to texts, emails and drafts, you helped me gain confidence and insight when I would have otherwise given up. Thank you for taking me on and helping me to tackle the many problems I faced during my project. I am very grateful for your exceptional supervision and the generosity you have shown me. Peter Johnson, Brad Ellis and Linda Lee - your friendship, mentorship and wisdom have fostered my growth professionally and personally. I am fortunate to have had such an incredible team of industry supervisors and could not have completed this project without your consistent support and substantial contributions. I am unendingly grateful for our many conservations. I wouldn't have made it without you. Thank you to my close collaborators: Anna Pintor, Erin Graham, Mark Kennard, Jeremy VanDerWal and Jorge Alverez-Romero. I am truly indebted to you for the sanity-keeping coffees and for your perpetual willingness to provide guidance and advice. Your friendship and collegiate commitment to discovery have made a lasting impression on me. To my Kal, you are my foundation. I would have cracked long ago without your unwavering support and kindness. Thank you for reading my drafts, for the many 3 am analytical discussions with me because I couldn't sleep, for feeding me and for being a perpetual oasis of joy and love. Some of the happiest moments of my life have been our experiences together. An enormous thank you to my family, Becky Land and Allison Wenning, colleagues and friends for your support and encouragement. Thank you to my fantastic adventure friends Katie, Madoc and Aline for the many outdoor exploring adventures. These little escapes made coming back to work on Monday much more agreeable. And to my office/lab mates – thank you for the happy and productive environment. It's been a true joy sharing time and space with you! To Shelley and Dan Christie, I can't understate what your support and friendship have meant throughout my PhD. You have been both mentors, beautiful friends and a constant source of positivity and encouragement. Thanks for being my soul-sister, Shell. To Andrew Norton and others at JCUs IT services, vii I can't thank you enough for all your quick and thorough technical support during my many tear-filled crises. Additional thanks to James Cook University for institutional and administrative support and to Dr Wayne Mallet for managing the High-Performance Computer Infrastructure.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian 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. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html 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. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.

  • Eucalyptus Series Acmenoideae (Myrtaceae)
    219 A taxonomic revision of the White Mahoganies, Eucalyptus series Acmenoideae (Myrtaceae) K.D. Hill Abstract Hill, K.D. (National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney, Australia 2000) 1999. A taxonomic revision of the White Mahoganies, Eucalyptus series Acmenoideae (Myrtaceae). Telopea 8(2): 219–247. A taxonomic revision of the White Mahogany group is presented. Twelve species are treated, seven of them described here as new (E. contracta L.A.S. Johnson & K.D. Hill, E. helidonica K.D. Hill, E. irritans L.A.S. Johnson & K.D. Hill, E. latisinensis K.D. Hill, E. mediocris L.A.S. Johnson & K.D. Hill, E. portuensis K.D. Hill, E. uvida K.D. Hill). Relationships are discussed, and a classification is presented, with keys to subgroups and species, illustrations of the new species and distribution maps of all species. Introduction The white mahoganies are a distinct and readily recognised group of 12 species, with seven described here as new. The group is eastern in distribution, ranging from the Cooktown district of Queensland south to around Sydney in New South Wales. Habitat is mainly coastal, extending to the western slopes of the Great Divide in some parts, but not onto the colder tablelands regions. This account presents the results of studies over 10 years, including extensive field study. All taxa have been studied in the field, and the collections held by BRI, CANB and QRS have also been examined. Selected specimens cited are listed in geographical regions, within which they are listed in alphabetic order of collector. Terminology and nomenclature follows previous papers in this series (see Hill & Johnson 1995).
