7008 Australian Native Plants Society Australia Hakea
FEBRUARY 20 10 ISSN0727 - 7008 AUSTRALIAN NATIVE PLANTS SOCIETY AUSTRALIA HAKEA STUDY GROUP NEWSLETTER NUMBER 42 Leader: Paul Kennedy PO Box 220 Strathmerton,Vic. 3 64 1 e mail: hakeaholic@,mpt.net.au Dear members. The last week of February is drawing to a close here at Strathrnerton and for once the summer season has been wetter and not so hot. We have had one very hot spell where the temperature reached the low forties in January but otherwise the maximum daily temperature has been around 35 degrees C. The good news is that we had 25mm of rain on new years day and a further 60mm early in February which has transformed the dry native grasses into a sea of green. The native plants have responded to the moisture by shedding that appearance of drooping lack lustre leaves to one of bright shiny leaves and even new growth in some cases. Many inland parts of Queensland and NSW have received flooding rains and hopefully this is the signal that the long drought is finally coming to an end. To see the Darling River in flood and the billabongs full of water will enable regeneration of plants, and enable birds and fish to multiply. Unfortunately the upper reaches of the Murray and Murrurnbidgee river systems have missed out on these flooding rains. Cliff Wallis from Merimbula has sent me an updated report on the progress of his Hakea collection and was complaining about the dry conditions. Recently they had about 250mm over a couple of days, so I hope the species from dryer areas are not sitting in waterlogged soil. -

10 Seed Release and Dispersal Mechanisms
10 Seed Release and Dispersal Mechanisms For seedling recruitment to occur seeds need to be dispersed into an environment that promotes germination and seedling survival. Dispersal consists of two phases. Primary dispersal is defined as the initial transport of seeds or seed-bearing fruits (collectively seeds and fruits are called diaspores) to the ground or water body, or for aerial parasites, a host branch. Secondary dispersal relates to any subsequent movement to the seed’s final resting place. Primary dispersal may be active (e.g. seeds released explosively from the fruit, e.g. dehiscence (opening) of Hardenbergia pods), passive (e.g. seeds fall out when the capsules of Eucalyptus open), or require a vector to aid in seed removal (e.g. wind uplift of winged seeds of Hakea or winged fruits of Nuytsia; Amyema berries consumed by mistletoe birds). Secondary dispersal involves either a biotic (e.g. ants) or environmental (e.g. wind, water) vector, and it is usually a different mechanism than that involved in primary dispersal. While primary dispersal is usually only for a few metres, secondary dispersal may cover several kilometres, and sometimes thousands for tiny seeds. This chapter covers some of the dispersal mechanisms exhibited by the SouthWest flora following their release. Terminology used to describe seed dispersal mechanisms is provided in Table 10.1. Table 10.1: Seed dispersal terminology. Term Definition Anemochory Wind dispersed Chamaechory Dispersal by rolling along the ground (wind assisted) Zoochory Animal dispersed (general) Myrmecochory Ant dispersed Ornithochory Bird dispersed Mammalochory Mammal dispersed Hydrochory Water dispersed Barochory Unassisted (gravity causes seeds to drop to the ground) Autochory Dispersal assisted by the actions of the parent plant (e.g. -
Interim Recovery Plan No 62
INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN NO. 293 Guichenotia seorsiflora INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN 2009-2014 September 2009 Department of Environment and Conservation Kensington Interim Recovery Plan for Guichenotia seorsiflora FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50. Note: the Department of CALM formally became the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) in July 2006. IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. DEC is committed to ensuring that Threatened taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans (RPs) or IRPs, and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and, in the case of Critically Endangered (CR) taxa, always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This plan will operate from September 2009 to August 2014 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the taxon is still ranked as Critically Endangered (CR), this IRP will be reviewed after five years and the need for further recovery actions assessed. This IRP was given regional approval in October 2009 and was approved by the Director of Nature Conservation in November 2009. The provision of funds identified in this IRP is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting DEC, as well as the need to address other priorities. Information in this IRP was accurate at September 2009. IRP PREPARATION This IRP was prepared by Robyn Luu1 and Andrew Brown2. -
