Melaleuca Management Plan MELALEUCA MANAGEMENT PLAN TEN YEARS OF SUCCESSFUL MELALEUCA MANAGEMENT IN FLORIDA 1988 - 1998 RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE MELALEUCA TASK FORCE FLORIDA EXOTIC PEST PLANT COUNCIL APRIL 1990 Original Draft APRIL1994 Second Edition MAY 1999 Third Edition François B. Laroche, Editor MELALEUCA: A THREAT TO THE RESTORATION OF THE GREATER EVERGLADES ECOSYSTEM, AN EXPLOSION IN SLOW MOTION. ii This Manuscript is dedicated to JAVIER CARDENAS, FRANCISCO VILLA FUERTE, JUAN ESPINOZA AND JOHN RAY HILL who died, in a helicopter crash, while eradicating melaleuca in the Everglades Water Conservation areas on January 22,1997. iii iv Mention of a trade name or a proprietary product does not constitute a guarantee or warranty of the product by the Melaleuca Task Force or the Exotic Pest Plant Council. There is no express or implied warranty as to the fitness of any product discussed. Any product trade names that are listed are for the benefit of the reader and the list may not contain all products available due to changes in the market. v The Melaleuca Management Plan was developed to provide criteria to make recommendations for the integrated management of melaleuca in Florida. The original plan was published in April of 1990. A second edition was published in 1994. This is the Third edition and it should be periodically updated to reflect changes in management philosophy and operational advancements. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES .................................................................................................xi LIST OF TABLES .................................................................................................xiii LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS .................................................................................................xv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY .................................................................................................xix F.

We found the brown minute scavenger beetle (Corticaria sp.) at so many survey plots for the Little Things that Run the City project that we dubbed the species ‘Old Faithful’. I’ve recreated the map of the City of Melbourne within the beetle’s body. Can you trace the outline of Port Phillip Bay? Can you recognise the shape of your suburb? Next time you’re walking in a park or garden in the City of Melbourne, keep a keen eye out for this ubiquitous little beetle.

CATALOGUE OF THE CERAMBYCIDAE (COLEOPTERA) OF AUSTRALIA BY KEITH C. McKEOWN, F.R.Z.S., Assistant Entomologist. The Australian Museum. PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES A. B. Walkom, D.%., Director. Sydney, May 2, I947 PREFACE. The accompanying Catalogue of the Cerambycidae is the first, dealing solely with Australian genera and species, to be published since that of Pascoe in 1867. Masters' Catalogue of the Described Coleoptera of Australia, 1885-1887, included the Cerambycidae, and was based on the work of Gemminger and Harold. A new catalogue has been badly needed owing to the large number of new species described in recent years, and the changes in the already complicated synonymy. The Junk catalogue, covering the Coleoptera of the world, is defective in many respects, as well as being too unwieldy, and too costly for the average Australian worker. Many of the references in the Junk catalogue are inaccurate, synonymy misleading, and the genera under which the species were originally described omitted, and type localities are not quoted. In this catalogue every care has been taken to ensure accuracy, and the fact that it has been used, in slip form, over a number.

Pheromone lures have been developed for cerambycids in many parts of the world, but to date, have not been tested in Australia. In this study, we tested the efficacy of several pheromones, identified from North American and European species, as attractants for cerambycids at three sites in southeast Queensland, Australia.

They can seriously debilitate or kill trees and shrubs of commercial and ornamental value as well as cause damage to timber already in service. Over the past century, there has been considerable taxonomic but little biological study of the Australian Cerambycidae. Consequently, while a large proportion of the Australian cerambycid fauna is described, very little is known about their biologies, with the e~ception of some of the larger and more commercially important taxa such as Phopaoantha and Stpongytupus.
