Caterpillar and chrysalis with attendant “Kropotkin” ants – Small Meat Ant Ants provide protection in return for sugary fluids secreted by caterpillar. Kropotkin is a reference to Russian biologist Peter Kropotkin who proposed a concept of evolution based on “mutual aid” between species helping species from ants to higher mammals survive. Imperial Hairstreaks will only return to breed where both caterpillar food plants and the ants are present. 2 February 2015 Butterflies - ver 2.6 Page 5 of 28 Mt Gravatt Environment Group – www.megoutlook.wordpress.com Butterflies of Mt Gravatt Conservation Reserve Lycaenidae Leptotes plinius Zebra Blue, Plumbago Blue Wingspan: Male 22mm Female 23mm Caterpillar food plants: Plumbago zeylanica (native) Plumbago auriculata (exotic) Plants not found in Reserve.

While many studies have shown elevational patterns in species richness and species turnover, little is known about how multi- species interactions respond to elevation. An understanding of how species interactions are affected by current clines in climate is imperative if we are to make predictions about how ecosystem function and stability will be affected by climate change. This challenge has been addressed here by focussing on a set of intimately interacting species: leaf-mining insects, their host plants and their parasitoid predators. Herbivorous insects, including leaf miners, and their host plants and parasitoids interact in diverse and complex ways, but relatively little is known about how the nature and strengths of these interactions change along climatic gradients.

Jackes Magnetic Island (190 08 S, 1480 50 E), offshore from the north Queensland city of Townsville, was first named by Captain James Cook in 1770. He called it “Magnetical Point, land which has the appearance of an island”, because his compass moved erratically as he passed it. This large island, about 5,000 ha in area, rises to 493 m at Mt Cook, the highest point.

It has 3 major aims: 1. To examine the status of potential threatened species in the area and their habitats, and whether there would be any negative impact on these species by the proposed development. 2. To document the flora and fauna existing on the property. 3. To recommend strategies for enhancement of the survival of species of indigenous flora and fauna, with particular reference to threatened species. site description The development site is situated on 40 hectares of rural land at Tyagarah, 6 km North of Byron Bay. The development has occurred since 1987 on about 5 Ha on the eastern side of the property on the top of a slight rise (approx. 5 degrees) with a western aspect. The rest of the property is mainly flat. The property contains two main soil types: basaltic and alluvial. The area has a sub-tropical climate with an average annual rainfall of about 1700-mm with the heaviest falls usually occurring in January and February.
