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.

Host Plant List of the Whiteflies (Aleyrodidae) of the World
Version 070611 June 11, 2007 HOST PLANT LIST OF THE WHITEFLIES (ALEYRODIDAE) OF THE WORLD GREGORY A. EVANS USDA/Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) The following host plant list was extracted from the Whitefly Taxonomic and Ecological database and edited to make it more readable. I listed the host plants alphabetically by genus with the plant family in brackets after the name. I listed the whiteflies that have been recorded from the plant host under each species with the country where the collection was made in brackets. The records include published records of whiteflies and their hosts from articles on whiteflies, what has been recorded in the parasitoid literature, unpublished records of specimens identified by Avas Hamon in the FSCA (Florida State Collection of Arthropods, Gainesville, FL, USA) collection and unpublished records of whiteflies intercepted at U.S. Ports of Entry. I decided to include the latter records because they indicate the likely host plant and country of origin of the species, although the actual presence of these species on these hosts in these countries should be confirmed by collections made on these host plants within the country. I thank Peter Touhey (USDA/APHIS) for extracting these records for me from the USDA/APHIS database. Most of the records from the U.S. ports of entry come from specimens identified by John W. Dooley (USDA/APHIS) or Steve Nakahara (USDA/ARS/SEL). Note that many of the host plant records for Bemisia tabaci and Trialeurodes vaporariorum are not included. These two species are highly polyphagous, it would not be surprising to find these species on almost any terrestrial plant. -

Native Vegetation of the Goulburn Broken Riverine Plains
Native Vegetation of the Goulburn Broken Riverine Plains Native Vegetation of the Goulburn Broken Riverine Plains This project is delivered and funded primarily through the partnerships between the Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority (GBCMA), Department of Primary Industries (DPI), Goulburn Murray Landcare Network (GMLN), Greater Shepparton City Council, Shire of Campaspe and Moira Shire. Published by: Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority 168 Welsford St, Shepparton, Victoria, Australia August 2012 ISBN: 978-1-920742-25-6 Acknowledgments The Goulburn Broken CMA and the GMLN gratefully acknowledge the staff of the Sustainable Irrigated Landscapes - Goulburn Broken, Environmental Management Team, particularly Fiona Copley who compiled the first edition “Native Vegetation in the Shepparton Irrigation Region” based on research of literature (References page 95) and communication with recognised flora scientists. Special acknowledgement goes to the GMLN in partnership with the Shepparton Irrigation Region Implementation Committee for enabling the printing of the first edition. The second edition, renamed “Native Vegetation of the Goulburn Broken Riverine Plains” was updated by Wendy D’Amore, GMLN with additions and subtractions made to the plant list and the booklet published in a new format. Special thanks to Sharon Terry, Rolf Weber, Joel Pyke and Gary Deayton for their expert knowledge of the plants and their distribution in the Riverine Plains. Many thanks also to members of the GMLN, Goulburn Broken CMA, DPI and Goulburn Valley Printing Services for their advice and assistance. Photo credits In this edition many plant profiles had their photographs updated or added to and additional species were added. The following photographers are gratefully acknowledged: Sharon Terry, Phil Hunter, Judy Ormond, Andrew Pearson, Keith Ward, Janet Hagen, Gary Deayton, Danielle Beischer, Bruce Wehner and Wendy D’Amore.
