  • Leaf Trait–Palatability Relationships Differ Between Ungulate Species: Evidence from Cafeteria Experiments Using Naïve Tussock Grasses

Lee1 1Landcare Research, Private Bag 1930, Dunedin 9054, New Zealand 2SAC, Hill and Mountain Research Centre, Sustainable Livestock Systems, Kirkton, Crianlarich, FK20 8RU, Scotland, UK 3Landcare Research, Private Bag 3127, Hamilton 3240, New Zealand *Author for correspondence: (Email: [email protected]) Published on-line: 28 January 2010 Abstract: Leaf functional traits have been proposed as general indicators of plant palatability to ungulate herbivores, identifying which species are likely to be most at risk from ungulates, and how ungulate grazing may change ecosystem processes. However, few studies have tested whether leaf trait–palatability relationships are consistent across different ungulate species. The palatability of 44 native New Zealand grass taxa (from the genera Festuca and Chionochloa) to two ungulate herbivores (sheep Ovis aries and red deer Cervus elaphus scoticus) was assessed in cafeteria experiments. There were significant differences between sheep and deer in the selection or avoidance of grass taxa, in part related to differences in response to variation in leaf functional traits. Deer had a greater tendency than sheep to select grasses with a higher specific leaf area (SLA) and to avoid taxa with a low SLA, suggesting that it is not possible to generalise leaf trait–palatability relationships across different ungulate species. Results suggest different ungulate species are likely to have additive effects on the biodiversity and ecosystem functioning of New Zealand’s native grasslands.

Cuarte km 1, E-22071 Huesca, Spain Institute of Desertification Research, CSIC, Valencia, Spain '^ Friedrich-Schiller University, Jena, Germany Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, USA Received 25 May 2007; revised 4 October 2007; accepted 26 November 2007 Available online 5 December 2007 Abstract Divergence times and biogeographical analyses liave been conducted within the Loliinae, one of the largest subtribes of temperate grasses. New sequence data from representatives of the almost unexplored New World, New Zealand, and Eastern Asian centres were added to those of the panMediterranean region and used to reconstruct the phylogeny of the group and to calculate the times of lineage- splitting using Bayesian approaches. The traditional separation between broad-leaved and fine-leaved Festuca species was still main- tained, though several new broad-leaved lineages fell within the fine-leaved clade or were placed in an unsupported intermediate position. A strong biogeographical signal was detected for several Asian-American, American, Neozeylandic, and Macaronesian clades with dif- ferent aifinities to both the broad and the fine-leaved Festuca. Bayesian estimates of divergence and dispersal-vicariance analyses indicate that the broad-leaved and fine-leaved Loliinae likely originated in the Miocene (13 My) in the panMediterranean-SW Asian region and then expanded towards C and E Asia from where they colonized the New World.

  • The Ecological Restoration of Otamahua/Quail Island 2. the Vascular Land Flora and Vegetation
    The ecological restoration of Otamahua/Quail Island 2. The vascular land flora and vegetation Colin J. Burrows1, Hugh D. Wilson2 and Colin D. Meurk3 department of Plant and Microbial Sciences, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800, Christchurch, NewZealand 2Hinewai Reserve, RD3 Akaroa, NewZealand 3Landcare Research, PO. Box 69, Lincoln 8152, NewZealand (Received 19 May 1999, revised and accepted 14 October 1999) Abstract The plant species present on Otamahua/Quail Island 1976-1999 are grouped according to origin, specifically identifying indigenous and introduced taxa. The known vascular plant flora for this period consists of 357 species. Taxa believed to be descended from ancestors truly indigenous to the island include 7 tree species, 18 shrubs, 7 vines, 28 monocotyledon and 49 dicotyledon herbs, and 12 ferns. Additional indigenous taxa from the Banks Peninsula region, planted on the island up to the beginning of 1998, include 8 tree species, 3 shrubs and 1 large monocotyledon herb. A further 10 tree, 2 shrub, and 4 vine indigenous species of Banks Peninsula provenance were planted during 1998 and 1999. Planted taxa indigenous to New Zealand, but not to Banks Peninsula, include 4 small trees and 1 shrub. Among the taxa foreign to the New Zealand flora that have been planted on the island, or that have otherwise immigrated accidentally through human agency, or by natural means, are 29 tree species, 19 shrubs, 3 vines, 46 monocotyledon herbs (mostly grasses), 120 dicotyledon herbs and 2 ferns. Localities, habitats and relative abundance are noted for each species. There appear to have been losses of some species since 1976 (some through deliberate removal).

Most will be lists providing NZTCS status of members of a plant or animal group (e.g. algae, birds, spiders). There are currently 23 groups, each assessed once every 3 years. After each 3-year cycle there will be a report analysing and summarising trends across all groups for that listing cycle. From time to time the manual that defines the categories, criteria and process for the NZTCS will be reviewed. Publications in this series are considered part of the formal international scientific literature. This report is available from the departmental website in pdf form.

  • It Is All About the Plants As the Summer Draws to a Close, It Is a Good Time to Reflect on Recent Field Expeditions and to Plan Future Botanical Exploration
    E-newsletter: No 101. April 2012 Deadline for next issue: Monday 14 May 2012 Council member guest editorial – It is all about the plants As the summer draws to a close, it is a good time to reflect on recent field expeditions and to plan future botanical exploration. Over the last of the summer months, I have been lucky to be able to explore many and varied habitats, from one coast of the central North Island to the other. At Aotea Heads, on the western side, this included the impressive expanse of sand dunes, majestic swathes of Cortaderia splendens on the high and mobile dunes, with large expanses of spinifex (Spinifex sericeus) cloaking the front face of the fore dune. At the Whakaki Lagoon, on the eastern side of the island, all three Bolboschoenus species occur in close proximity; there are also extensive diverse coastal turfs, with species such as Limosella lineata, Lilaeopsis novae-zelandiae and Centipeda cunninghamii. In a wetland on the margins of Lake Rotoiti, whilst establishing monitoring plots, we encountered a small population of karetu or holy grass (Hierochloe redolens), and also oioi (Apodasmia similis), a species that has not been recorded in the Lake Rotorua Ecological District since 1873, when Kirk observed it. It seems that there are always interesting plants to see in every corner I get to visit, whether it is at ‘work’ or following recreational pursuits. Beneath manuka forest behind the Aotea Heads dunes, our native mint, Mentha cunninghamii, provided a very delicate scent as we ‘trampled’ it whilst traversing the area. In late March, I saw Myriophyllum votschii in the turf zone on the shores of Lake Taupo while out for a walk through the township.
