Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? 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. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

Maruyama1,2* , Carlos E. P. Nunes1 , Jeferson Vizentin-Bugoni3 , Simone Gustafsson4 and Leonor Patricia Cerdeira Morellato5 Received: April 12, 2018 Accepted: May 9, 2018 ABSTRACT Most angiosperms rely on animals for pollination, and insects, especially bees, are the most frequent pollinators. Many native Neotropical plants are frequently visited by the invasive honeybee (Apis mellifera), but its role in the pollination of these plants has been little investigated. We assessed the contribution of various floral visitors, including native bees and the honeybee, on the pollination of a generalist rupestrian grassland daisy, Aspilia jolyana (Asteraceae), in Serra do Cipó, Espinhaço Mountain Range, Brazil. We recorded floral visitors and measured the seed set resulting from one single visitation. We observed a total of 442 visits, mostly by bees, with Bombus pauloensis and Apis mellifera being the most common floral visitors. -

The experiment took place in the Chapada do Araripe, in the State of Ceará, Brazil, between July 2014 and June 2015. The study followed colonies in three ceramic pots and four wooden boxes. Observations of the flight activity of the bees and of the climate were made on five days every month, each colony being monitored for 5 min, at intervals of one hour, from 0500 to 1700. -
Biological Control of Cape Ivy Project 2004 Annual
Biological Control of Cape ivy Project 2004 Annual Research Report prepared by Joe Balciunas, Chris Mehelis, and Maxwell Chau, with contributions from Liamé van der Westhuizen and Stefan Neser Flowering Cape ivy overgrowing trees and native vegetation along California’s coast near Bolinas United States Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Research Service Western Regional Research Center - Exotic & Invasive Weed Research Unit 800 Buchanan St., Albany, California 94710 (510) 559-5975 FAX: (510) 559-5982 Executive Summary by Dr. Joe Balciunas This is our first attempt at an ‘electronic’ report, and most of you will receive our Annual Report for 2004 as PDF attachment to an email. We hope that this will make our report more easily accessible, since you may chose to store it on your hard disk. We made solid progress during 2004 towards our goal of completing our host range testing of our two most promising potential biological control agents for Cape ivy. We overcame a summertime ‘crash’ of our laboratory colonies, and by year’s end had strong colonies of both the gall fly, Parafreutreta regalis, and the stem-boring moth, Digitivalva delaireae. By the end of 2004, we had tested more than 80 species of plants, and neither of our candidate agents was able to complete development on anything other than their Cape ivy host. The single dark cloud has been the continuing downturn in external funds to support our Cape ivy research, especially that conducted by our cooperators in Pretoria, South Africa. While we have managed to maintain a small research effort there, our cooperators are no longer assisting us in our host range evaluations. -

Two New Species and a Variety of Cineraria (Asteraceae) from Tropical Africa
Two new species and a variety of Cineraria (Asteraceae) from tropical Africa. Glynis V. Cron11, Kevin Balkwill and Eric B. Knox2. 1School of Animal, Plant & Environmental Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Private Bag 3, Wits 2050, South Africa. 2Department of Biology, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405, USA. Summary. Two new species and a new variety of Cineraria L. from tropical Africa are described: C. pulchra Cron from the Nyanga and Chimanimani Mountains of Zimbabwe and Mozambique (Mount Gorongoza), C. huilensis Cron from the Sera da Chela in the Huila Province of Angola and C. mazoensis S.Moore var. graniticola Cron from the granite domes of Zimbabwe. Key words. Asteraceae, Cineraria, conservation, Senecioneae, tropical Africa. Introduction Cineraria L. (Senecioneae, Asteraceae) comprises mainly perennial herbs and subshrubs with heterogamous, radiate capitula with yellow florets. Many of the species have grey leaves and stems due to a tomentose or cobwebby indumentum, as indicated by its name - from ‘cinereus’, meaning ash-coloured. The genus is distinguished by its obovate, compressed cypselae with narrow wings or margins, and palmately-veined, usually auriculate leaves (Hilliard, 1977; Cron, 1991; Bremer, 1994). The capitula have a uniseriate, calyculate involucre and the cypselae have a substantial carpopodium. As a senecioid member of the Senecioneae, Cineraria has balusterform filament collars in its stamens and discrete stigmatic areas (Nordenstam, 1978; Bremer, 1994). The style apex is obtuse and fringed with sweeping hairs. Cineraria is essentially an African genus, ranging from the Cape Peninsula and mountains of South Africa along the eastern highlands of Africa to Ethiopia. In the west it occurs in the mountainous areas of Namibia and southern Angola. -

However, reports of some farmers raised suspicion on the oc- currence of M. quinquefasciata in the state of Ceará, in NE Brazil. Investigations were carried out from July 1997 to September 2000, by means of trips to the areas of probable occurrence of this bee species. Results confirmed the presence of M. quinquefasciata in Ceará and determined its habitat along the chapada do Araripe (Araripe plateau) and all extension of planalto da Ibiapaba (Ibiapaba plateau), in altitudes between 600 and 900 m. Melipona quinquefasciata lives in the phytocoenosis of cerrado (Brazilian savanna), cerradão (savanna forest) and carrasco (montane deciduous shrub vegetation) on the top of Araripe plateau, and only carrasco in the Ibiapaba plateau. Due to pressures caused by reduction of the area covered with native vegetation, large use of agrochemicals in anthropic areas and generalised predatory hunting of honey and beeswax, M. -
