  • Scott River Ironstone Association (Update)
    Interim Recovery Plan No. 339 Scott River Ironstone Association (update) Interim Recovery Plan 2015-2020 Department of Parks and Wildlife, Kensington April 2015 Foreword Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Parks and Wildlife Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50 (CALM 1992; CALM 1994). The Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) formally became the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) in July 2006 and the Department of Parks and Wildlife in July 2013 (the Department). Recovery plans 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. The Department is committed to ensuring that threatened ecological communities are conserved through the preparation and implementation of recovery plans or interim recovery plans and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible after listing. This plan will operate from April 2015 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the community is still listed after five years, the need for an updated plan will be evaluated. This plan was approved by the Director of Science and Conservation on 7 April 2015. The provision of funds identified in this plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting the Department, as well as the need to address other priorities. This plan replaces IRP no. 217 Scott River Ironstone Association 2004-2009 by R. Luu and V. English. Information in this plan was accurate at December 2014. Plan preparation: This reviewed and updated plan was prepared by Jill Pryde (Department of Parks and Wildlife).

Two of the new modems they sent out did not work and each took eight days to arrive by post. It was very frustrating just when I needed the computer to be operational. The weather here has been very erratic. There was no rain in October until the last day when 18mm fell. There were numerous warm days well above the average and I had to water the smaller plants that had just gone in the ground. Normally we would receive about 100mm for the month. The inland members gardens have been experiencing very dry conditions and the possibility of a very hot summer will see many plants needing the addition of moisture. Outback Queensland in particular is in the throes of a severe drought and the Hakeas from that region such as maconochieana, collina and ivoryi will be greatly stressed as well as being prone to damage from goats. Along the east coast from Gippsland to northern NSW there has been plenty of rain and gardens have been subject to very wet conditions. In Western Australia Jennifer Young has reported that good winter rains have transformed the northern sand plains into a blaze of flowering plants from Exmouth to Kalbarri. Our garden in Colac continues to thrive.

  • For Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics Manuscript Draft
    Elsevier Editorial System(tm) for Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics Manuscript Draft Manuscript Number: PPEES-D-15-00109R1 Title: Bird pollinators, seed storage and cockatoo granivores explain large woody fruits as best seed defense in Hakea Article Type: Research paper Section/Category: Keywords: Black cockatoo; Crypsis; Fruit and seed size; Granivory; Resprouter; Spinescence Corresponding Author: Prof. Byron Lamont, Corresponding Author's Institution: Curtin University First Author: Byron Lamont Order of Authors: Byron Lamont; Byron Lamont; Mick Hanley; Philip Groom Abstract: Nutrient-impoverished soils with severe summer drought and frequent fire typify many Mediterranean-type regions of the world. Such conditions limit seed production and restrict opportunities for seedling recruitment making protection from granivores paramount. Our focus was on Hakea, a genus of shrubs widespread in southwestern Australia, whose nutritious seeds are targeted by strong-billed cockatoos. We assessed 56 Hakea species for cockatoo damage in 150 populations spread over 900 km in relation to traits expected to deter avian granivory: dense spiny foliage; large, woody fruits; fruit crypsis via leaf mimicry and shielding; low seed stores; and fruit clustering. We tested hypothesises centred on optimal seed defenses in relation to to a) pollination syndrome (bird vs insect), b) fire regeneration strategy (killed vs resprouting) and c) on-plant seed storage (transient vs prolonged). Twenty species in 50 populations showed substantial seed loss from cockatoo granivory. No subregional trends in granivore damage or protective traits were detected, though species in drier, hotter areas were spinier. Species lacking spiny foliage around the fruits (usually bird-pollinated) had much larger (4−5 times) fruits than those with spiny leaves and cryptic fruits (insect-pollinated).

  • Taxonomy of the South Australian Species Allied to Hakea Ulicina R. Br
    J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 7(3): 249-271 (1985) TAXONOMY OF THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN SPECIES ALLIED TO HAKEA ULICINA R. BR. (PROTEACEAE) L. Haegi & W.R. Barker Adelaide Botanic Gardens and State Herbarium, North Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia 5000. Abstract Taking into account the recent publication of the new species H. repullulans HM. Lee from western Victoria and South Australia, it is shown that the name H ulicina, widely used in the past, doe.s not apply to South Australian Hakea. The name H. carinata F. Muell. ex Meissner is re-instated for a species endemic to the Flinders and Mt Lofty Ranges and the South Eastern region. H muelleriana J. Black is confirmed as a distinct species, occurring in drier regions from Eyre Peninsula to the South Eastern region and extending to Kangaroo Island and Victoria. The occurrence of exceptionally broad-leaved forms of this species on Kangaroo Island warrants further biological and taxonomic investigation. H. aenigma W.R. Barker & Haegi, a Kangaroo Island endemic apparently most closely related to H. repullutans, is described. This new species is unusual in its sterility, apparent genetic uniformity and complete dependence on suckering as a means of reproduction. Introduction In the absence of any comprehensive treatment of Hakea since that of Bentham (1870) taxonomic concepts within the genus have developed largely in regional floras. Included among the species of Hakea treated in the most recent flora account for South Australia (Black 1948) were H muelleriana J. Black and H ulicina R. Br., including its variety var. latifolia J. Black. In a supplement to Black's Flora, Eichler (1965) expressed doubt about the rank of H muelleriana, suggesting it might better be treated at the infraspecific level, as "H ulicina var.
