Weston and Michael D.

Alloxylon (Proteaceae), a new genus from New Guinea and eastern Australia. Telopea 4(3): 497-507. Oreocallis sens. lat. consists of two distinct clades, one in South America, the other in Australasia, that together are likely to be paraphylet­ ic. Newly sampled characters strongly support the monophyly of the Australasian group. We describe the new genus Alloxylon to accommodate the Australasian species of Oreocallis sens. lat. and revise its species. Alloxylon fIammeum is described as new and new combinations are made for A. brachycarpum, A. wickhamii and A. pinnatum. Introduction Cladistic analyses of the subtribe Embothriinae of the family Proteaceae (Weston & Crisp 1987, in prep.) show the genus Oreocallis R. Br. sens. lat. to comprise two branches of an unresolved trichotomy. The third branch is the genus Telopea, a well corroborated clade of five species. The sister group to this trichotomy is Embothrium, the only other genus in the Embothriinae.

    I Is the Sunda-Sahul Floristic Exchange Ongoing?

    Is the Sunda-Sahul floristic exchange ongoing? A study of distributions, functional traits, climate and landscape genomics to investigate the invasion in Australian rainforests By Jia-Yee Samantha Yap Bachelor of Biotechnology Hons. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation i Abstract Australian rainforests are of mixed biogeographical histories, resulting from the collision between Sahul (Australia) and Sunda shelves that led to extensive immigration of rainforest lineages with Sunda ancestry to Australia. Although comprehensive fossil records and molecular phylogenies distinguish between the Sunda and Sahul floristic elements, species distributions, functional traits or landscape dynamics have not been used to distinguish between the two elements in the Australian rainforest flora. The overall aim of this study was to investigate both Sunda and Sahul components in the Australian rainforest flora by (1) exploring their continental-wide distributional patterns and observing how functional characteristics and environmental preferences determine these patterns, (2) investigating continental-wide genomic diversities and distances of multiple species and measuring local species accumulation rates across multiple sites to observe whether past biotic exchange left detectable and consistent patterns in the rainforest flora, (3) coupling genomic data and species distribution models of lineages of known Sunda and Sahul ancestry to examine landscape-level dynamics and habitat preferences to relate to the impact of historical processes. First, the continental distributions of rainforest woody representatives that could be ascribed to Sahul (795 species) and Sunda origins (604 species) and their dispersal and persistence characteristics and key functional characteristics (leaf size, fruit size, wood density and maximum height at maturity) of were compared.

  • Rainforest Trees Suitable for Birds

    Rainforest Trees Suitable for Birds

    1 RAINFOREST TREES SUITABLE FOR BIRDS When planting out your garden or plots of native rainforest, it is important to have a range of suitable species, which produce flowers and/or fruit over the whole year. This is to provide birds, with a reasonably reliable food supply. Most plant species listed are native to the Northern Rivers and south-east Queensland. Those species native to north east Queensland are denoted by NEQ. The species covered include those with nectar rich flowers and those with fruit/seeds. The main reference for this page was Jones, David L. Rainforest Plants of Australia. Appendices XVII & XVIII. Reed Books. 1986. This is recommended reading for those interested.
