In contrast to most other tropical regions, permanent settlement in Australian rainforests developed much later, and in the absence of adjacent agricultural economies. Here we explore how the tropical rainforests of northern Queensland were exploited during the late Holocene through an ancient starch and phytolith record spanning the last 2000 years.

Terra Australis 30
terra australis 30 Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and island Melanesia — lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present. Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for South-East Asia and blue for the Pacific Islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements. All volumes are numbered within the same series. List of volumes in Terra Australis Volume 1: Burrill Lake and Currarong: Coastal Sites in Southern New South Wales. R.J.

Report on the Vegetation of the Proposed Blue Hole Cultural, Environmental & Recreation Reserve
Vegetation Report on the Proposed Blue Hole Cultural, Environmental & Recreation Reserve Report on the Vegetation of the Proposed Blue Hole Cultural, Environmental & Recreation Reserve 1.0 Introduction The area covered by this report is described as the proposed Lot 1 on SP144713; Parish of Alexandra; being an unregistered plan prepared by the C & B Group for the Douglas Shire Council. This proposed Lot has an area of 1.394 hectares and consists of the Flame Tree Road Reserve and part of a USL, which is a small portion of the bed of Cooper Creek. It is proposed that the Flame Tree Road Reserve and part of the USL be transferred to enable the creation of a Cultural, Environmental and Recreation Reserve to be managed in Trust by the Douglas Shire Council. The proposed Cultural, Environmental and Recreation Reserve will have an area of 1.394 hectares and will if the plan is registered become Lot 1 of SP144713; Parish of Alexandra; County of Solander. It is proposed that three Easements A, B & C over the proposed Lot 1 of SP144713 be created in favour of Lot 180 RP739774, Lot 236 RP740951, Lot 52 of SR537 and Lot 51 SR767 as per the unregistered plan SP 144715 prepared by the C & B Group for the Douglas Shire Council. 2.0 Trustee Details Douglas Shire Council 64-66 Front Street Mossman PO Box 357 Mossman, Qld, 4873 Phone: (07) 4099 9444 Fax: (07) 4098 2902 Email: [email protected] Internet: www.dsc.qld.gov.au 3.0 Description of the Subject Land The “Blue Hole” is a local name for a small pool in a section of Cooper Creek.

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.

Dissecting the Decision Making Process of Scatterhoarding Rodents

Oikos © 2012 Nordic Society Oikos Subject Editor: Paulo Guimaraes Jr. Accepted 25 October 2012 Dissecting the decision making process of scatter-hoarding rodents Bo Wang, Cheng-Xi Ye, Charles H. Cannon and Jin Chen B. Wang, C.-X. Ye and J. Chen ([email protected]), Key Laboratory of Tropical Forest Ecology, Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, CN-666303 Mengla, Yunnan, PR China. BW also at: Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing CN-100049 Beijing, PR China. – C. H. Cannon, Dept of Biological Sciences, Texas Tech Univ., Lubbock, TX 79409, USA. Many animals scatter-hoard seeds to ensure an even supply of food throughout the year and this behavior requires similar foraging decisions. Seed-traits have been shown to affect the final foraging decision but little is known about the decision process itself. Here, we first defined four sequential steps comprising the decision process of scatter-hoarding rodents: 1) upon encountering a seed, should it be ignored or manipulated; 2) if manipulated, should it be eaten in situ or removed elsewhere; 3) upon removal, how far away should it be carried; and finally 4) whether to eat or cache the removed seed. Using experimental seeds with controlled differences in size, tannin and nutrient content, we evaluated how different traits influence each step in this decision process. We found that different traits had distinct effects on each step. Seed size affected all four steps, while nutrient and tannin content primarily affected the first and third steps.

Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? 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. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.
