  • Water Recovery in the Murray Irrigation Area of Nsw
    Disclaimer This report has been generated as part of the Living Murray initiative. Its contents do not represent the position of the Murray-Darling Basin Commission. It is presented as a document which informed discussion for improved management of the Basin’s natural resources in November 2003. Preparation of the social impact assessment scoping and profiling studies preceded the Living Murray First Step decision and the signing on 25 June 2004 at the Council of Australian Governments meeting of the Intergovernmental Agreement on Addressing Water Overallocation and Achieving Environmental Objectives in the Murray- Darling Basin. The communiqué from this COAG meeting is provided at www.coag.gov.au. These decisions provide the framework under which $500m will be invested by governments over 5 years to begin addressing water overallocation in the Murray-Darling Basin and achieve specific environmental outcomes in the Murray-Darling Basin. The first priority for this investment will be water recovery for six significant ecological assets first identified by the Murray-Darling Basin Ministerial Council in November 2003: the Barmah-Millewa Forest, Gunbower and Koondrook-Perricoota Forests, Hattah Lakes, Chowilla floodplain, the Lindsay-Wallpolla system, the Murray Mouth, Coorong and Lower Lakes, and the River Murray Channel. The water will come from a matrix of options with a priority for on-farm initiatives, efficiency gains, infrastructure improvements and rationalisation, and market based approaches, and purchase of water from willing sellers, rather than by way of compulsory acquisition. Consequently, the assumptions that were made to enable the social impact assessment scoping and profiling studies to be undertaken in mid 2003, while reasonable at the time, have been overtaken by these decisions and the consequential benefits that will flow from them.

    INSECTA MUNDI, Vol. 11, Nos. 3-4, September-December, 1997 201 Theclinae of Rondonia, Brazil: Strymon Hiibner, with descriptions of new species (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) George T. Austin Nevada State Museum and Historical Society, 700 Twin Lakes Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89107 and Kurt Johnson Department of Entomology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, New York 10024 Abstract: Twenty-two species of Strymon are known from the vicinity of Cacaulandia in Rondonia, Brazil, of which 14 are new species. These belong to 5 species groups: the "oreala" group [StlYlllOn megarus (Godart)]; the "ziba" group [StlYlllOn ziba (Hewitson), Stlymon thulia (Hewitson), Stlymon spl:natus new species, Strymon latamaculus new species, StlYlllOn pallidulus new species, Stlymon tholus new species]; "valentina" group [StrY11lon rotundum new species]; "crossoea" group [Strymon crossoea (Hewitson), Strymon crambusa (Hewitson), Stlymon ger11lana new species, Strymon novasignum new species, Stlymon clavus new species, Strymon implexus new species, Strymon in11lirum new species, StlYlllOn incanus new species, Strymon faunaUa (Hewitson), Strymon halos new species, Strymon conspergus new species, Stlymon bazochii (Godart), Strymon diagonalis new species]; and "eu.rytu.lu.s" group [Stlymon bu.bastu.s (Stoll)]. Tentative subgroups of species are suggested for the "crossoea" group as they occur in Rondonia. A neotype is designated for Tmolu.s basilides and the name synonymized with Strymon megaru.s. The "basilides" group of Johnson et al. (1990) is renamed the "ziba" group. Based on lectotype designations and superficial and genital differences, S. ziba and S. thu.lia are elevated to specific status.

  • 'Genome to Paddock' Approach to Control Plant Disease
    PLENARY 1 – DANIEL MCALPINE MEMORIAL LECTURE A ‘genome to paddock’ approach to control plant disease 1 Barbara Howlett 1. University of Melbourne, Melbounre, VIC, Australia Pathogenic fungi evolve in concert with their plant hosts to invade and overcome defence responses. A detailed knowledge of these processes is essential for successful disease management strategies. Blackleg caused by the fungus, Leptosphaeria maculans, is the major disease of canola worldwide. In this lecture I describe how field data, such as disease incidence and severity, coupled with information about the biology, molecular genetics and genomics of the blackleg fungus has been exploited to control this important disease. Field populations of Leptosphaeria maculans can evolve and overcome disease resistance bred into canola within three years of commercial release of a cultivar. The risk of breakdown of resistance can be determined by monitoring disease severity of canola cultivars and changes in virulence of fungal populations using high throughput molecular assays that are based on sequences of avirulence genes. Farmers can avoid a predicted epidemic by sowing canola cultivars with different resistance genes in subsequent years. This strategy has been exploited in Australia and has averted substantial yield losses due to disease.

  • Myth & the Murray
    Myth & the Murray Measuring the real state of the river environment by Jennifer Marohasy We have all heard about the declining health of the Murray River, including poor water quality, dying red gums and threats to the continued survival of the Murray cod—this is the popular view in urban Australia. Along the river, communities believe that the end of commercial fishing, a substantial restocking effort, improvements in on-farm practices and the construction of salt-interception schemes have resulted in a healthier river. The available evidence supports the local view and suggests that, with the possible exception of native fish stocks, the river environment is healthy. Many of the scientific reports that have led to the perception that the Murray River is in poor health make their comparisons with a natural river, which is one without dams and locks, one that gushes and then runs dry. Such comparisons are misplaced. If the ultimate objective of the conservation movement is a natural river, then we must reject the cultural heritage and economic wealth created by the engineering works, including the Snowy Mountains Scheme. In its natural state, the Murray River could not provide for Adelaide’s water needs and it could not support the irrigation industries that have made the region the food bowl of Australia.

[email protected] 2National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, P. O. Box 37012, NHB Stop 105, Washington, DC 20013–7012 USA. [email protected] ABSTRACT. Description and phylogenetic analysis of the Calycopidina (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae, Theclinae, Eumaeini): a subtribe of detritivores. The purpose of this paper is to establish a phylogenetic basis for a new Eumaeini subtribe that includes those lycaenid genera in which detritivory has been recorded. Morphological characters were coded for 82 species of the previously proposed “Lamprospilus Section” of the Eumaeini (19 of these had coding identical to another species), and a phylogenetic analysis was performed using the 63 distinct ingroup terminal taxa and six outgroups belonging to four genera. Taxonomic results include the description in the Eumaeini of Calycopidina Duarte & Robbins new subtribe (type genus Calycopis Scudder, 1876), which contains Lamprospilus Geyer, Badecla Duarte & Robbins new genus (type species Thecla badaca Hewitson), Arzecla Duarte & Robbins new genus (type species Thecla arza Hewitson), Arumecla Robbins & Duarte, Camissecla Robbins & Duarte, Electrostrymon Clench, Rubroserrata K. Johnson & Kroenlein revalidated status, Ziegleria K. Johnson, Kisutam K. Johnson & Kroenlein revalidated status, and Calycopis. Previous “infratribe” names Angulopina K. Johnson & Kroenlein, 1993, and Calycopina K. Johnson & Kroenlein, 1993, are nomenclaturally unavailable and polyphyletic as proposed.
