5.3.1 Flora and Vegetation
Flora and fauna assessment for the Calingiri study area Prepared for Muchea to Wubin Integrated Project Team (Main Roads WA, Jacobs and Arup) 5.3 FIELD SURVEY 5.3.1 Flora and vegetation A total of 296 plant taxa (including subspecies and varieties) representing 154 genera and 55 families were recorded in the study area. This total is comprised of 244 (82.4%) native species and 52 (17.6%) introduced (weed) species, and included 60 annual, 223 perennial species, one species that is known to be either annual or perennial and 12 unknown life cycles (Appendix 8). The current survey recorded a similar number of species to previous flora surveys conducted along GNH and higher average diversity (average number of taxa per km) (Table 5-7).

Environmental Review Document | West Erregulla Appendix C Review of Key Potential Flora, Vegetation and Fauna Values on the Proposed Pipeline for Strike Energy near Dongara © ECO LOGICAL AUSTRALIA PTY LTD Memorandum – Strike Energy Proposed Pipeline 1. PO Box 437 Kalamunda WA 6926 +61 08 9257 1625 [email protected] (ACN 063 507 175, ABN 39 063 507 175) 28th February 2020 REVIEW OF KEY POTENTIAL FLORA, VEGETATION AND FAUNA VALUES ON THE PROPOSED PIPELINE FOR STRIKE ENERGY NEAR DONGARA Introduction Mattiske Consulting Pty Ltd (MCPL) was commissioned in February 2020 by Australian Gas Infrastructure Group (AGIG) to conduct a desktop assessment of the potential Flora, Vegetation and Fauna values present on areas near the proposed pipeline for Strike Energy, located approximately 30 km south east of Dongara, WA (Figure 1). Supporting evidence is provided in a series of Figures and Appendices at the end of this Memorandum. Methods A desktop assessment was conducted using FloraBase (Western Australian Herbarium [WAH] 1998- ), NatureMap (Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions [DBCA] 2007- ) and Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) Protected Matters Search Tool (Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment [DAWE] 2020a) databases to identify the possible occurrence of threatened and priority flora, threatened fauna and threatened and priority ecological communities within the proposed pipeline survey area. Search parameters used in the NatureMap search were ‘by rectangle’ and encompassed the project area polygon using the following parameters: 115° 07’ 36” E, 115° 19’ 42” E, - 29° 25’ 59” S, - 29° 23’ 47” S. The aforementioned coordinates were also used in the EPBC Act Protected Matters Search Tool (DAWE 2020a). -
Comparative Floral Presentation and Bee-Pollination in Two Sprengelia Species (Ericaceae)
Comparative floral presentation and bee-pollination in two Sprengelia species (Ericaceae) Karen A. Johnson* and Peter B. McQuillan School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Tasmania, Private Bag 78, Hobart, Tasmania 7001, Australia. *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Pollination by sonication is unusual in the Styphelioideae, family Ericaceae. Sprengelia incarnata and Sprengelia propinqua have floral characteristics that suggested they might be adapted to buzz pollination.Both species have florally similar nectarless flowers except that the stamens ofSprengelia propinqua spread widely after the flower opens, while those of Sprengelia incarnata cohere in the centre of the flower. To test whether sonication occurs, we observed bee behaviour at the flowers of both plant species, documented potential pollinators, and examined their floral and pollen attributes. We found that Sprengelia incarnata had smaller and drier pollen than Sprengelia propinqua. We found that Sprengelia incarnata was sonicated by native bees in the families Apidae (Exoneura), Halictidae (Lasioglossum) and Colletidae (Leioproctus, Euryglossa). Sprengelia propinqua was also visited by bees from the Apidae (Exoneura) and Halictidae (Lasioglossum), but pollen was collected by scraping. The introduced Apis mellifera (Apidae) foraged at Sprengelia propinqua but ignored Sprengelia incarnata. The two Sprengelia species shared some genera of potential pollinators, but appeared to have diverged enough in their floral and pollen characters to elicit different behaviours from the native and introduced bees. Cunninghamia (2011) 12 (1): 45–51 Introduction species, some Leucopogon species, Richea milliganii (Hook.f.) F.Muell., and Sprengelia incarnata Sm.

Pollination Ecology and Evolution of Epacrids
Pollination Ecology and Evolution of Epacrids by Karen A. Johnson BSc (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania February 2012 ii Declaration of originality This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis, nor does the thesis contain any material that infringes copyright. Karen A. Johnson Statement of authority of access This thesis may be made available for copying. Copying of any part of this thesis is prohibited for two years from the date this statement was signed; after that time limited copying is permitted in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Karen A. Johnson iii iv Abstract Relationships between plants and their pollinators are thought to have played a major role in the morphological diversification of angiosperms. The epacrids (subfamily Styphelioideae) comprise more than 550 species of woody plants ranging from small prostrate shrubs to temperate rainforest emergents. Their range extends from SE Asia through Oceania to Tierra del Fuego with their highest diversity in Australia. The overall aim of the thesis is to determine the relationships between epacrid floral features and potential pollinators, and assess the evolutionary status of any pollination syndromes. The main hypotheses were that flower characteristics relate to pollinators in predictable ways; and that there is convergent evolution in the development of pollination syndromes. -
