For Koalas in Moree PLANTING NATIVE VEGETATION for koalas in Moree The following native vegetation species are recognised as important food and shelter trees for koalas in the Moree region. Planting these trees will benefit koalas by providing additional food and shelter habitat. Koalas prefer woodland habitat that contains several species of food and shelter trees and in close proximity to permanent water. It is crucial to plant trees suitable for your soil type and position in the landscape. Trees growing in less than ideal conditions will suffer stress and produce foliage that contains higher concentrations of phenols and tannins that can discourage koalas from eating them. Use the information overleaf to determine which species will be most suitable at your place. All the trees listed are valuable to koalas; those highlighted yellow appear to be most favourable in the Moree region. Where possible, to maximise koala use of new trees, plant in close proximity to a water source and preferably adjoining existing woodland or create a corridor linking two remnant woodland patches. By planting strategically, you will increase the size of woodland patches and provide linkages between woodland remnants that will benefit koalas. Contact WIRES if you see a sick or injured koala on 1300 094 737 For more guidance on restoring koala habitat see resources available at https://koala.nsw.gov.au/ Record a koala sighting to the NSW Government’s BioNet Atlas database using the ‘I Spy Koala’ app (visit the Apple or Google app stores to download) This initiative made possible by the NSW Landcare Program.

H awkeswood , James R. Turner and Richard W. Wells Abstract: New larval host plant records and further biological data are recorded for the large and distinctive Australian longicorn beetle,Agrianome spinicollis (Macleay) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). The presently known larval host plants are listed and original references cited. The adults are not known to feed and no data on adult hosts have ever been recorded. The suite of published larval host plants indicate that rainforest as well as woodland and sclerophyll forest communities are inhabited by this beetle. SinceAgrianome species are primitive cerambycids, it is suggested here that A.spinicollis originated (evolved first) in rainforest and as the Australian continental landmass dried out climatically, and sclerophylly evolved, the beetle adapted to plants belonging to these new plant communities.

    Persoonia 45, 2020: 101–131 ISSN (Online) 1878-9080 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/pimj RESEARCH ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.3767/persoonia.2020.45.04 Cryphonectriaceae on Myrtales in China: phylogeny, host range, and pathogenicity W. Wang1,2, G.Q. Li1, Q.L. Liu1, S.F. Chen1,2 Key words Abstract Plantation-grown Eucalyptus (Myrtaceae) and other trees residing in the Myrtales have been widely planted in southern China. These fungal pathogens include species of Cryphonectriaceae that are well-known to cause stem Eucalyptus and branch canker disease on Myrtales trees. During recent disease surveys in southern China, sporocarps with fungal pathogen typical characteristics of Cryphonectriaceae were observed on the surfaces of cankers on the stems and branches host jump of Myrtales trees. In this study, a total of 164 Cryphonectriaceae isolates were identified based on comparisons of Myrtaceae DNA sequences of the partial conserved nuclear large subunit (LSU) ribosomal DNA, internal transcribed spacer new taxa (ITS) regions including the 5.8S gene of the ribosomal DNA operon, two regions of the β-tubulin (tub2/tub1) gene, plantation forestry and the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1) gene region, as well as their morphological characteristics. The results showed that eight species reside in four genera of Cryphonectriaceae occurring on the genera Eucalyptus, Melastoma (Melastomataceae), Psidium (Myrtaceae), Syzygium (Myrtaceae), and Terminalia (Combretaceae) in Myrtales. These fungal species include Chrysoporthe deuterocubensis, Celoporthe syzygii, Cel. eucalypti, Cel. guang­ dongensis, Cel. cerciana, a new genus and two new species, as well as one new species of Aurifilum. These new taxa are hereby described as Parvosmorbus gen.

  • Influence of Leaf Chemistry on Dietary Choice and Habitat Quality of Koala (Phascolarctos Cinereus) Populations in Southwest Queensland
    Influence of leaf chemistry on dietary choice and habitat quality of koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) populations in southwest Queensland Huiying Wu Master of Science A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2017 School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Abstract Protecting high quality habitat is an important wildlife conservation action. Spatial and temporal variation in habitat quality in heterogeneous landscapes influences habitat use and population persistence. Populations living at the margins of species’ geographic ranges are particularly sensitive to fluctuations in habitat quality, especially if species occupy narrow ecological niches. For arboreal folivores, foliar chemical composition is a key factor influencing habitat quality. To understand the spatial and temporal dynamics of foliar chemistry and hence the habitat quality for an arboreal folivore species, I applied theories and methods from chemical ecology, nutritional ecology and landscape ecology to understand foliar chemical/folivore interactions in a seasonally changing environment. I used populations of koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) in two semi-arid regions of Queensland, Australia, as a case study. Koalas are specialist folivores with complex feeding behaviour from Eucalyptus species. My aim was to identify the influence of foliar chemicals (moisture content, digestible nitrogen (DigN) and a toxin formylated phloroglucinol compounds (FPC) concentrations) and associated environmental factors on koala habitat use

There is an increasing trend for landscapers of ‘European’ appearance. Unfortunately, new housing estates to plant deciduous trees throughout the deciduous trees are not suited to the subdivision, leading to a large increase in organic matter Australian environment in many ways. In entering drainage systems and waterways in late autumn/early winter. the Eastern States, willows in particular have become aggressive weeds spreading along streamlines. They can cause blockage of rivers and streams, excessive eutrophication and displacement of native flora and fauna. An extensive campaign is now underway in the Eastern States to control the problem.

Out of the 24 clones tested 13 Eucalypts are the most important plantation hardwoods in the were regenerated and of these, 6 showed regeneration from more world (Turnbull 1991), yielding industrial wood, fuelwood, essential than 60% of the explants. Identical protocols were also successful oils, shade and shelter. Eucalyptus camaldulensis occupies a greater in the regeneration of some clones of E. microtheca, E. ochrophloia, geographic range than any other eucalypt species in Australia and is E. grandis and E. marginata, but at lower frequencies. Co-cultivation now grown successfully in many countries over a wide range of of E. camaldulensis leaf explants with Agrobacterium tumefaciens E. camaldulensis strains carrying a kanamycin resistance gene and the reporter gene habitats. Plantations of exceed 500 000 hectares P-glucuronidase (GUS), followed by selection on kanamycin at 9 and are increasing rapidly, especially in tropical areas (Eldridge et al. 1993). mg 1-1, allowed the selection of transformed shoots that could be rooted on selective media.

  • New Experimental Hosts and Further Information on Citrus Leprosis Virus
    Fourteenth IOCV Conference, 2000—Other Viruses New Experimental Hosts and Further Information on Citrus Leprosis Virus O. Lovisolo, A. Colariccio, and V. Masenga ABSTRACT. Tetragonia tetragonioides (Tetragoniaceae), Atriplex hortensis, A. latifolia, Beta vulgaris ssp cicla and Chenopodium bonus-henricus (Chenopodiaceae) were found to be new experimental hosts of citrus leprosis virus (CiLV), extending its experimental host range outside the Rutaceae to 13 species belonging to 5 genera of the Centrospermae. All the herbaceous hosts react to mechanical inoculation only with local infection. Thirty three other species in 25 families, that have not been previously tested, were not susceptible to mechanical inoculation with CiLV. In vitro properties of CiLV in C. quinoa were further checked. The virus retained infectivity after 45 mo storage in dried-leaf and three days in infected sap at room temperature. Infectious CiLV was recovered in leaves of C. quinoa, 24 to 42 h after inoculation, or one to two days before symptom appearance. The typical particles and structures of CiLV have been seen in the thin sections obtained from local lesions of infected Chenopodium quinoa leaves. During 1997 and 1998 winter (from July to September) in São Paulo State no new leaf infections were found on sweet orange plants. Symptoms where present on old leaves of Cleopatra mandarin, but the virus content was very low, probably because of decrease of virus multiplication during the winter months. Knowledge on citrus leprosis buffer pH 7, containing 0.005 M Na- virus (CiLV) has advanced during Dieca, 0.001 M Na-EDTA, and 0.005 the last five years (5, 6, 10), but M Na-thioglycollate).
