  • Lepidorrhachis Mooreana (H
    Palm Conservation – Palm Specialist Group Lepidorrhachis mooreana (H. Wendl. & Drude) O. F. Cook Status: Not Evaluated in IUCN Red List. Vulnerable according to Dowe in Johnson (1996). Preliminary evaluation based on IUCN 2001 criteria: Endangered (EN B1a,bv) Common name Little Mountain Palm. Natural range Lepidorrhachis mooreana is restricted to the summits of Mt. Gower (875 m) and Mt. Lidgbird (777 m) on the remote Lord Howe Island. It occurs only above 750 m in dwarf mossy forest that dominates the summit plateau of Mt. Gower and the narrow summit ridge of Mt. Lidgbird. This forest is home to numerous remarkable endemic species including the pumpkin tree (Negria rhabdothamnoides), an arborescent member of the Gesneriaceae, and Dracophyllum fitzgeraldii (Ericaceae). It is also the primary nesting locality of the providence petrel (Pterodroma solandri) and is a stronghold for the woodhen (Tricholimnas sylvestris), an endemic member of the rail family that was recently rescued from the brink of extinction. However, less that 0.5 km2 of Lord Howe’s total surface area of 12 km2 is found above 750 m. The total area of suitable habitat available to Lepidorrhachis is thus extremely limited. Recognition characteristics Lepidorrhachis is very easily distinguished from the two other endemic palm genera on Lord Howe Island, Howea and Hedyscepe. It is a short solitary palm with a stem that rarely exceeds 2 m in height. It has stiff, arching leaves with short, deeply split leaf sheaths that do not form a distinct crownshaft. The sheaths are also covered with buff indumentum. Its bushy inflorescences are born below the leaves and are unisexual, both male and female inflorescences occurring on the same plant.

Mark Edward Dickson Lord Howe Island, southwest Pacific 1 Abstract Lord Howe Island, situated 600 km east of Australia, provides a unique opportunity to study the development of rock coast landforms and the long-term planation of an oceanic island. The island is a remnant of a large shield volcano that was built by late-Miocene hotspot volcanism. Since this time, the island has gradually migrated northward into warmer seas, and marine planation, operating at a decreasing rate over time, has reduced the island to a vestige of the original volcano. Lord Howe Island currently lies at the southern limit to coral growth.

The property was ultimately inscribed on the list, as having satisfied two of these criteria: (Criteria 44(a) iii and iv). These criteria were defined as follows: (iii) Contain unique, rare or superlative natural phenomena, formations or features or areas of exceptional natural beauty, such as superlative examples of the most important ecosystems to man, natural features (for instance, rivers mountains, waterfalls), spectacles presented by great concentrations of animals, sweeping vistas covered by natural vegetation and exceptional combinations of natural and cultural elements. (iv) Be habitats where populations of rare or endangered species of plants and animals still survive.

Reproductive success of the Providence Petrel Pterodroma solandri on Lord Howe Island, Australia. Marine Ornithology 35: 21–28. The only significant breeding locality of the Providence Petrel Pterodroma solandri is Lord Howe Island, Australia, where the population is considered Vulnerable. During the 2000 and 2001 breeding seasons, data were collected on hatching, fledging and breeding success, and on egg and chick mortality. Annual breeding success was 34%–36% in burrows that were visited repeatedly and among adults and chicks handled at least once, and 54% in burrows that were visited only twice and contents not handled. The breeding success of individual adults was positively correlated with body condition, the relationship being stronger for males than for females. Egg losses occurred throughout the incubation period, but chick losses were concentrated within the first four weeks from hatching. Egg and chick mortality were strongly correlated with the distance of the nest from the burrow entrance, with more losses occurring in nests close to the entrance.
