Manuscript received 19 June 1984; accepted 19 1'.1arch 1985. Abstract A study of vegetation on the aeolian deposits of the Swan Coastal Plain, using classifica­ tion techniques, revealed 49 vegetation units. These units were agglomerated into plant communities and complexes, on the basis of floristic composition. A Conspectus to the vegetation classification is provided. Vegetation in this region is generally considered to be species-rich. Vegetation on the oldest <Bassendean) dune system was most species-rich. The complexity of vegetation pattern (veget<ttion texture) was greatest on the intermediate aged (Spearwood) dune system. Vegetation on the Quindalup dune system was both species-poor and had the simplest texture relative to the other two dune systems. It is postulated that species-richness and vegetation texture change dynamically through time,_ as the dune systems become more stabilised and leached. A key to the described communities is provided to allow researchers, conservation managers, teachers and other interested persons to allocate vegetation of particular bushland sites to a plant community described in the Conspectus, and thus increase knowledge of the vegetation variation in bushland remnants across this region. Introduction successfully in this vegetation, and the late Prof R.

  • Comparative Floral Presentation and Bee-Pollination in Two Sprengelia Species (Ericaceae)
    Comparative floral presentation and bee-pollination in two Sprengelia species (Ericaceae) Karen A. Johnson* and Peter B. McQuillan School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Tasmania, Private Bag 78, Hobart, Tasmania 7001, Australia. *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Pollination by sonication is unusual in the Styphelioideae, family Ericaceae. Sprengelia incarnata and Sprengelia propinqua have floral characteristics that suggested they might be adapted to buzz pollination.Both species have florally similar nectarless flowers except that the stamens ofSprengelia propinqua spread widely after the flower opens, while those of Sprengelia incarnata cohere in the centre of the flower. To test whether sonication occurs, we observed bee behaviour at the flowers of both plant species, documented potential pollinators, and examined their floral and pollen attributes. We found that Sprengelia incarnata had smaller and drier pollen than Sprengelia propinqua. We found that Sprengelia incarnata was sonicated by native bees in the families Apidae (Exoneura), Halictidae (Lasioglossum) and Colletidae (Leioproctus, Euryglossa). Sprengelia propinqua was also visited by bees from the Apidae (Exoneura) and Halictidae (Lasioglossum), but pollen was collected by scraping. The introduced Apis mellifera (Apidae) foraged at Sprengelia propinqua but ignored Sprengelia incarnata. The two Sprengelia species shared some genera of potential pollinators, but appeared to have diverged enough in their floral and pollen characters to elicit different behaviours from the native and introduced bees.

Copying of any part of this thesis is prohibited for two years from the date this statement was signed; after that time limited copying is permitted in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Karen A. Johnson iii iv Abstract Relationships between plants and their pollinators are thought to have played a major role in the morphological diversification of angiosperms. The epacrids (subfamily Styphelioideae) comprise more than 550 species of woody plants ranging from small prostrate shrubs to temperate rainforest emergents. Their range extends from SE Asia through Oceania to Tierra del Fuego with their highest diversity in Australia. The overall aim of the thesis is to determine the relationships between epacrid floral features and potential pollinators, and assess the evolutionary status of any pollination syndromes. The main hypotheses were that flower characteristics relate to pollinators in predictable ways; and that there is convergent evolution in the development of pollination syndromes.

    Submission #3141 - Southern Forests Irrigation Scheme – Project 2: Irrigation Pipeline Network, South West region, WA Title of Proposal - Southern Forests Irrigation Scheme – Project 2: Irrigation Pipeline Network, South West region, WA Section 1 - Summary of your proposed action Provide a summary of your proposed action, including any consultations undertaken. 1.1 Project Industry Type Water Management and Use 1.2 Provide a detailed description of the proposed action, including all proposed activities. The Southern Forests Irrigation Scheme (SFIS) involves water offtake from the Donnelly River to irrigate approximately 1700 ha of land for horticultural and agricultural production in the Southern Forests region around Manjimup and Pemberton in the South-West of Western Australia. The SFIS has been developed to support the Manjimup SuperTowns vision of expanding the area’s horticulture industry and doubling the population over the next 15 years. The Manjimup SuperTown Agriculture Strategy (2014) and The Value of Horticulture Production in the Manjimup-Pemberton Area report (2014) highlighted the need to secure additional water to supply horticultural areas currently subject to water shortages. The SFIS will be constructed and operated by the Southern Forests Irrigation Cooperative (SFIC), which will operate as a water supply and trading. This referral is for the SFIS Project 2, which comprises (see Figure 1): 1. Approximately 253 km of water distribution pipelines between the Donnelly River offtake pump station to property outlets (irrigator connection points). The network will be split between the Middlesex line (southern network) and Graphite line (northern network). 2. Pipelines will generally be installed below ground but may potentially be above ground due to site constraints such as waterway crossings.

Ecological influences in the biogeography of the aus- tral sedges. MSc dissertation. University of Cape Town. Cape Town. February 2016. supervisors: A. Muthama Muasya G. Anthony Verboom ABSTRACT The biogeographic history of a species is a result of both stochastic processes such as dispersal and habitat filters that determine where a population with a given set of biological requirements can become es- tablished. In this dissertation, I examine the geographical and ecolog- ical distribution of the sedge tribe Schoeneae in conjunction with its inferred speciation history in order to determine the pattern of disper- sal and the environmental factors that have influenced establishment. The biogeographic reconstruction indicates numerous transoceanic dispersal events consistent with random diffusion from an Australian point of origin, but with a bias towards habitats with vegetation type and moisture regime similar to the ancestral conditions of the given subgroup (open and dry habitats in the majority of cases). The global distribution of the tribe also suggests a preference for low-nutrient soils, which I investigate at the local (microhabitat) scale by contrast- ing the distributions of the tribes Schoeneae and Cypereae on the Cape Peninsula along soil fertility axes.
