Species Summary Acacia chrysotricha EN Taxonomic Authority: Tindale Global Assessment Regional Assessment Region: Global Endemic to region Synonyms Common Names NEWRY GOLDEN WATTL English BELLINGER RIVER WATT English Upper Level Taxonomy Kingdom: PLANTAE Phylum: TRACHEOPHYTA Class: MAGNOLIOPSIDA Order: FABALES Family: LEGUMINOSAE Lower Level Taxonomy Rank: Infra- rank name: Plant Hybrid Subpopulation: Authority: This species hybridises with A. fimbriata. General Information Distribution Acacia chrysotricha is endemic to Australia only known from the Brierfield-Newry State Forest region in New South Wales (Orchard and Wilson 2001). Range Size Elevation Biogeographic Realm Area of Occupancy: 25 Upper limit: 260 Afrotropical Extent of Occurrence: 10 Lower limit: 150 Antarctic Map Status: Depth Australasian Upper limit: Neotropical Lower limit: Oceanian Depth Zones Palearctic Shallow photic Bathyl Hadal Indomalayan Photic Abyssal Nearctic Population It was originally known from 6 locations around the Bellingen area. In 2000 it was reported to only from only 2 locations south of Bellingen. One of the sites in wet sclerophyll forest within the Jaaningga Nature Reserve (previously Newry State Forest and Newry Golden Wattle Forest Preserve) and the second site is within a Eucalyptus plantation within Gladstone State Forest. Only some 1200 plants were known in 2000 in the Jaaningga Nature Reserve whilst in the Gladstone State Forest the population only had some 30 plants (NSW Scientific Committee 2000). According to the Atlas of Living Australia this species also occurs in the Nambucca region in Bollanolla Nature Reserve, further south, but this locality could not be verified for this assessment and the same record maps in a different place according to the Australian Virtual Herbarium (http://biocache.ala.org.au/occurrences/202311437). Total Population Size Minimum Population Size: Maximum Population Size: Habitat and Ecology An erect tree up to 15 m high that grows in tall open forest and rainforest as an undestorey, in steep narrow gullies, in quartzite soils. Newry Golden Wattle is relatively short-lived. The seeds which remain in the soil require heat from fire to induce germination (Department of Environment and Conservation 2005). System Movement pattern Crop Wild Relative Terrestrial Freshwater Nomadic Congregatory/Dispersive Is the species a wild relative of a crop? Marine Migratory Altitudinally migrant Growth From Definition Tree - large Large tree, also termed a Phanerophyte (>1m) Threats The species is threatened by weed encroachment, of which Lantana camara is the most problematic and can threaten recruitment of A. chrysotricha; inappropriate fire regimes and logging activities. Too-frequent fire may lead to a decline in the population, as gradual exhaustion of the soil-borne seed bank will result, with no replacement of adult plants over time (Department of Environment and Conservation 2005). Past Present Future 1 Habitat Loss/Degradation (human induced) 1.3 Extraction 1.3.3 Wood 1.5 Invasive alien species (directly impacting habitat) 1.7 Fires 8 Changes in native species dynamics 8.1 Competitors 9 Intrinsic factors 9.2 Poor recruitment/reproduction/regeneration 9.9 Restricted range Conservation Measures This species is known to occur within the Jaaningga Nature Reserve and the Gladstone State Forest. The conservation of A. chrysotricha is one of the main reasons for the Jaaningga Nature Reserve and protection of known populations are a priority of management (Department of Environment and Conservation 2005). The park was created in 1999 and covers and area of 975 hectares, a draft management plan is now in place (NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service 2007). Some hand removal of Lantana and bush regeneration work occurred in and around Newry golden wattle sites; wild dogs have been seen on a number of occasions on Range Road adjacent to Jaaningga Nature Reserve, and some baiting for dogs was carried out in the western and southern parts of the Reserve in 2006; a separate fire management strategy for Jaaningga Nature Reserve has been prepared and implementation of such strategy is set as a high priority; monitoring of the populations of Newry golden wattle, including habitat condition and trends in population demographics are set as a medium priority and targeted surveys for predicted threatened species is high priority; encourage research the ecology of Newry golden wattle especially its fire ecology and population dynamics is set as a high priority. The species is listed as Endangered in New South Wales (Department of Environment and Conservation 2005) and it is listed as 2R in Briggs and Leigh (1995), a rare taxon with a geographic range less than 100 km2. However, it is not listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The seeds for this species have been collected as part of the Millennium Seed Bank project. Seeds are located at: Wakehurst Place, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew (UK) and Mount Annan Botanic Garden, New South Wales (Australia).

Trend in the level of wild offtake/harvest in relation to total wild population numbers over the last five years: Trend in the amount of offtake/harvest produced through domestication/cultivation over the last five years: CITES status: Not listed IUCN Red Listing Red List Assessment:(using 2001 IUCN system) Endangered (EN) Red List Criteria: B1ab(iii,v) Date Last Seen (only for EX, EW or Possibly EX species): Is the species Possibly Extinct? Possibly Extinct Candidate? Rationale for the Red List Assessment A. chrysotricha is an tree endemic to New South Wales in Australia only know from 2 locations. Its native range has been reduced due to deforestation and infrastructure development. It is currently known mainly from within Jaaningga Nature Reserve (1200 individuals) and two other smaller populations one in the Gladstone State Forest (30 individuals). The Extent of Ocurrence is estimated as 10 km2 and the Area of occupancy based on available collection and a 2x2 cell size if estimated at 25 km2. The main threats to the species include inappropriate fire regimes, weed invasion and logging activities. A draft management plan has been developed and several high priority management actions are being implemented to conserve the populatinos of A. chrysotricha. However, it remains to be seen if these actions will have a positive effect on population numbers and the recovery of this species in longer term. It is therefore still listed as Endangered.

  • The Role of Biome Shifts in Lineage Diversification
    The Role of Biome Shifts in Lineage Diversification Esther Elizabeth Dale Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Botany, University of Otago November 2018 II Abstract This thesis examines the role of biomes in lineage diversification. It explores whether biome conservatism, the tendency to remain in ancestral biomes, constrains diversification, and tests whether biome shifts are linked to characteristics of particular biomes, clades or traits. This work focuses on a series of radiations in Australia and New Zealand. Using the hyper-diverse genus Acacia in Australia, Species Distribution Models (SDM) were used to predict distributions and niche traits of 481 species in 19 clades across two biome typologies. Diversification was not constrained to any biomes, with most species (94%) occupying multiple biomes, but diversification was greatest in those biomes currently occupying larger areas. New Zealand groups (Poaceae, Melicytus, Myrsine and Pseudopanax) with small scale radiations (< 25 species) were then investigated in relation to occupancy of the three main biomes (Forest, Open and Alpine). A temporal sequence of biome availability in New Zealand allowed an examination of diversification in the context of the directional transition from forest to more open biomes. A combination of methods including SDM, biogeographical models, and trait measurements of plants grown in a common garden were utilised to explore the importance of biome shifts during diversification, the relationship between trait shifts and biome shifts, and ask if biome conservatism was prevalent in the different clades. Biome conservatism did not constrain diversification in New Zealand lineages. Biome shifts were generally frequent and more closely related to extrinsic biome factors like biome age, biome availability and relative environmental similarity between biomes, rather than to intrinsic features of lineages, such as clade size, diversification rate or age.

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.
