Ticks (Ixodidae) were collected from northern quolls (Dasyurus hallucatus) from three sites on the Atherton Tableland, north Queensland. Four species of ticks (Haemaphysalis humerosa, Ixodes fecialis, I. holocyclus and I. tasmani) were collected from quolls. Prevalence of infestation of ticks varied from 44 to 92% across the three sites. The collection of the three species of Ixodes represents new host records for D. hallucatus, thus adding valuable new details to the ecology of the parasite fauna of an endangered marsupial.

Seven field experiments were carried out during 1980 and 1981 to determine the nitrogen fertilizer requirements of potatoes grown in basaltic krasnozem soils in North Queensland. Rates of 0, 40, 80, 160 and 320 kg nitrogen/ha were compared in all experiments. Comparisons of urea and ammonium nitrate as fertilizer forms and basal and split application methods were also carried out in four of the experiments. Total yields of fresh tubers from nil-nitrogen plots varied from 18.1 to 29.7 t/ha and nitrogen applications increased these yields at all sites to levels varying from 136 to 325% of the control plots. Ninety-eight per cent of maximum yields calculated from quadratic functions were produced by rates of basally applied urea nitrogen varying from 108 to 205 kg/ha. These rates were poorly correlated with relative yields and topsoil (0-20 cm depth) nitrate nitrogen but were well correlated with nitrogen in 20-50 cm depth. Nitrogen application increased the average tuber weights from 135 to 179 g but reduced the specific gravity of tubers. Splitting nitrogen applications reduced average tuber weights.

Streszczenie:

The characterization of late Holocene climates in northern Australia has, in the past, been based on local investigations. This examination of the chenier record of northern Australia indicates that there has been a statistically significant regional change in conditions between 1600–2800 years bp, possibly a period of relative aridity. Support for this conclusion may be found in the vegetation record from the Atherton Tableland where numerical comparisons of dryland fossil and modern pollen spectra suggest that rainfall may have been up to 50% higher during the period 7000 to 3000 bp.

Maize was grown for 6 years in a 7-year trial at Kairi, on the Atherton Tableland, North Queensland. Conventional tillage, direct drilling and reduced tillage were compared and each tillage practice was imposed with and without stubble retention. Direct drilling and stubble retention were found to have significant positive effects on aggregate water stability, water-stable aggregation under rain, dry aggregate size distribution and resistance to abrasion. Effects on infiltration were not significant, although cumulative infiltration (using the rainfall simulator) was higher for direct drilling and reduced tillage with stubble retention. Significant differences were found between row and inter-row for all measurements that enabled this comparison.

AbstractThe taxonomy and biology of the ennomine genus Mnesampela Guest is reviewed. Several species are well known in southern Australia as defoliators of gumtrees (Eucalyptus spp.) in cultivation. Seven species are recorded in the genus: privata (Guenée) (= inordinata Walker), comarcha Guest ( = comarcha Meyrick), lenaea Meyrick, heliochrysa (Lower), and three new species: athertonensis from the Atherton Tableland of north-eastern Quccnsland, kunama from high altitudes in south-eastern mainland Australia, and arida from the subinterior of southern Australia. A key to the species is provided and all species and their genitalia are descrihed and illustrated. Details of the immature stages, foodplants, flight periods, and distribution of the various species are also recorded. One new synonymy is established and two lectotypes are designated.

Streszczenie:

Calamus moti and C. australis in tropical forest on the Atherton Tableland, Queensland, Australia, climb with the aid of long whip-like flagella covered with sharp hooks. Stiff stems and long flagella allow climbing palms to span larger gaps between successive supports than other types of climbers. Furthermore, recurved hooks on the flagella serve as a ratchet-like mechanism that draws climbing palms closer to supporting plants. Although both palm species climbed up through closed canopy forest, they were more abundant on treefall gap margins. Many gap-edge climbers survived after their supporting trees fell and grew back upwards on gap-edge trees. Once in the canopy, the climbing palms avoided growing up and out of the tops of their supporting trees through the combined effects of decreased internode length and downward slippage of the dangling stem.

Streszczenie:

On the basis of variation in molecular sequence data and morphology, three species are recognised within Dinckleria. The generitype D. pleurata is widespread in Tasmania and New Zealand and has outlier populations in Victoria, and in rainforests around the New South Wales–Queensland border. Dinckleria fruticella is endemic to New Zealand, records of this species from Tasmania and Queensland are based on misidentifications. The widespread Malesian species Plagiochila singularis is transferred to Dinckleria, and newly reported for Australia and Vanuatu. In Australia, this species is known by two collections, one from the Atherton Tableland the other from the Paluma Range. Dinckleria can be distinguished from other genera of Plagiochilaceae by the presence of papillae on leaf-cell surfaces in combination with monomorphic leafy shoots arising from a basal stolon, the stolons originating by ventral-intercalary branching, presence of cell surface wax, and the restriction of rhizoids to the ventral merophyte.

Lakes Barrine and Eacham and their small, discrete, forested catchments are sites of intensive sedimentological, palynological and ecological research. The studies that we present here concentrate on integrating population statistics of tree species of the living forest with their histories, as documented by fine-resolution pollen analysis (Green and Dolman 1988). Most of the work has been undertaken at Lake Barrine, where the last 5 ka is recorded in laminated sediments. Additional information about these sites and about aspects of the project is contained in Chen (1986, 1987, 1988), Goodfield (1988), Grindrod (1979), Timms (1976, 1979) and Walker (1988).

Some long term effects of (a) converting rainforest to grassland, and (b) rainforest regeneration on cleared land were investigated by comparing chemical properties of mineral soil (0-10 cm depth) from beneath primary rainforest, derived grassland and old secondary rainforest. Grasslands and secondary rainforest. were on land cleared at least 50 years ago. The study was undertaken on the Atherton Tableland in north east Queensland using soils formed on basalt, granite and metamorphic rocks. Organic C, kjeldahl N and labile N were 15-50% lower (P < 0.05) beneath grassland than primary rainforest for all soils, and were higher beneath secondary rainforest than grassland. Exchangeable Ca varied in a similar way in basaltic soils but did not differ between vegetation types in the other soils. Extractable Al was lower under grassland than either forest type for soils formed on granite and metamorphic rock. Total and organic P concentrations did not differ between primary forest and grassland, but were lowest under secondary rainforest for soils on metamorphic rock.

Streszczenie:

Development rates and juvenile survival of seven species of pierid butterfly from the Australian tropics were examined in laboratory conditions at a range of temperatures between 15 and 32�C. We studied three monophagous species, Eurema brigitta, E. laeta and E. herla, and four oligophagous or poly- phagous species, E. hecabe, E, smilax, Catopsilia pomona and Pieris (Artogeia) rapae; the last of these is the predominantly temperate cabbage butterfly, which has established a small tropical population on the Atherton Tableland in north Queensland. Larval and pupal stages of all species survived poorly at temperatures above 30�C, and most showed reduced survival below 22�C. Within their optimal temperature ranges, smaller species tended to survive better than larger ones. Oligophagous and polyphagous species developed more rapidly than monophagous ones, even though three of the former are larger than the latter. Development thresholds were between 10�C (for P. rapae) and 15�C (for C. pomona). There was little correlation between development threshold and latitudinal distribution, and we suggest that selection for the ability to develop relatively rapidly at lower temperatures may be influenced by the seasonal timing of the breeding season as well as by geographic distribution.

Streszczenie:

The ecological factors controlling the distribution and abundance of the folivorous marsupials endemic to the rainforests of northern Australia are not understood. In this study, we surveyed folivore abundance at 40 sites stratified by altitude and geology in rainforests of the Atherton Tableland, north Queensland. All five species of folivore that inhabit the study area were more abundant in highland (800–1200 m) than in upland (400–800 m) forests. Allowing for the effects of altitude, four species of folivore were more abundant in forests on nutrient-rich basalts than in forests on nutrient-poor acid igneous or metamorphic rocks. The abundance of two folivore species also varied inversely with rainfall. Altitudinal variation in folivore abundance in the study area has been attributed to habitat destruction, Aboriginal hunting, the distribution of host plants and climate; however, none of these hypotheses has been tested. Variation in folivore abundance with geology is plausibly explained as a response to the nutritional quality of foliage. Foliage quality may also explain the inverse relationship between two of the folivores and rainfall. The results of this study show that only a relatively small proportion of north Queensland rainforests support abundant populations of the endemic folivorous marsupials.

Two species of Tetrastichinae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) from Australia are described as parasitoids of Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle: Quadrastichus mendeli Kim & La Salle sp.nov. and Selitrichodes kryceri Kim & La Salle sp. nov. These parasitoids were introduced to Israel as part of a biological control program to counter the severe levels of damage caused by L. invasa to Eucalyptus plantations throughout the Mediterranean Basin. The biology of these species, as well as their potential as biological control agents, is discussed. Both species are now successfully established in Israel. The parasitoids were collected from L. invasa galls on 3–4 year old Eucalyptus tereticornis trees in central west Queensland, between Gympie and Hervey Bay, and on the Atherton Tableland. Both species are small (about 1 mm in length), solitary, and apparently ectoparasitic wasps. S. kryceri is biparental whereas Q. mendeli is uniparental. Maximum survival (~ 6 days at 25°C) for both species was obtained when they were fed with honey solution. S. kryceri and Q. mendeli successfully parasitized approximately 2.2 and 2.5 gall units per day, respectively. Both species developed on both young and mature host larvae. L. invasa may be considered as an early colonizer of regenerated young stands in Australia, which may imply that its parasitoids will display a similar fast-tracking behavior with respect to their host in its invasive range. The generic status of Selitrichodes is reinstated, with Epomphaloides and Zagrammosomoides placed as new synonyms of Selitrichodes.

Abstract ContextFeral cats have been identified as a key threat to Australia’s biodiversity, particularly in arid areas and tropical woodlands. Their presence, abundance and potential impacts in rainforest have received less attention. AimsTo investigate the distribution and diet of feral cats (Felis catus) in upland rainforest of the Wet Tropics. MethodsWe collated available occurrence records from the Wet Tropics, and data from upland camera-trapping surveys over an 8-year period, to assess geographic and elevational distribution of feral cats in the bioregion. We also assessed the diet of feral cats from scats collected at upland sites. Key resultsFeral cats are widespread through the Wet Tropics bioregion, from the lowlands to the peaks of the highest mountains (>1600m), and in all vegetation types. Abundance appears to vary greatly across the region. Cats were readily detected during camera-trap surveys in some upland rainforest areas (particularly in the southern Atherton Tablelands and Bellenden Ker Range), but were never recorded in some areas (Thornton Peak, the upland rainforest of Windsor Tableland and Danbulla National Park) despite numerous repeated camera-trap surveys over the past 8 years at some of these sites. Scat analysis suggested that small mammals comprise ~70% of the diet of feral cats at an upland rainforest site. Multivariate analysis could not detect a difference in mammal community at sites where cats were detected or not. ConclusionsFeral cats are widespread in the Wet Tropics and appear to be common in some upland areas. However, their presence and abundance are variable across the region, and the drivers of this variability are not resolved. Small mammals appear to be the primary prey in the rainforest, although the impacts of cats on the endemic and threatened fauna of the Wet Tropics is unknown. ImplicationsGiven their documented impact in some ecosystems, research is required to examine the potential impact of cats on Wet Tropics fauna, particularly the many upland endemic vertebrates. Studies are needed on (1) habitat and prey selection, (2) population dynamics, and (3) landscape source–sink dynamics of feral cats in the Wet Tropics.

Mainly on the basis of their mode of pod dehiscence, two subgroupswithin the A. aulacocarpa group are defined:A. aulacocarpa, A. celsa andA. disparrima comprise theA. aulacocarpa subgroup and have pods that dehisce alongthe dorsal suture; and A. crassicarpa,A. lamprocarpa, A. midgleyi,A. peregrina and A. wetarensiscomprise the A. crassicarpa subgroup and have pods thatdehisce along the ventral suture. All species in the group, including theIndonesian species A. wetarensis, are illustrated and akey to the taxa is provided. Acacia celsa,A. crassicarpa, A. peregrina andA. midgleyi have considerable potential for wood production in tropical plantation forestry.

Streszczenie:

Since 1982, stem and foliage scab caused by Sphaceloma batatas has occurred in crops of sweet potatoes cv. 'Porto Rico' on the Atherton Tableland in North Queensland. This is the first report of the occurrence of this disease in Australia. We developed a natural substrate agar suitable for sporulation of S. batatas and demonstrated that a suspension of conidia was pathogenic, producing lesions on the stem, petioles and leaf veins of sweet potatoes. Nine fungicides were tested for control of stem and foliage scab in a field experiment. Benomyl (400 g a.i./ ha), chlorothalonil (1300 g a.i./ha), captafol (1520 g a.i./ha), fentin hydroxide (300 g a.i./ha), copper oxychloride (1500 g a.i./ha) and mancozeb (1 500 g a.i./ha) reduced the disease at the earliest assessment, 55 days after planting (P= 0.05). However, at 82 days after planting, copper oxychloride and mancozeb were no longer controlling stem and foliage scab, and, at the third assessment (after 111 days) only benomyl and chlorothalonil reduced the disease (P = 0.05). A field rating after 195 days confirmed that benomyl provided significantly better disease control (P= 0.05) than any other treatment throughout the season. There was a negative correlation between yield and disease levels at 55 and 82 days (r= -0.39 and -0.36, P= 0.05), but not at 111 and 195 days (r= -0.23 and -0.10. n.s.). Twenty sweet potato cultivars were evaluated for disease resistance. Of the major commercial cultivars grown in Queensland, Centennial '83 was highly resistant, Beerwah Gold was moderately resistant, while Red Abundance, NC-3, Lo 323 and Porto Rico were susceptible to stem and foliage scab.

Streszczenie:

Small, isolated populations of an Australian rodent, Melomys cervinipes, occur in rainforest fragments on the Atherton Tableland in northeastern Queensland. We studied the genetic structure of four of these populations: one island (4.3 ha; isolated in 1960), three fragments (2.5, 7.5, 97.5 ha; isolated between 1920 and 1930) and a control population in continuous rainforest. The relative density of M. cervinipes did not differ among the populations, hence population size was approximately proportional to the forest area. Electrophoresis was performed on blood samples taken from the populations. Average heterozygosity (H) was estimated from the allelic distribution of 24 loci for each population and varied from 0.01 to 0.05. The island population had reduced heterozygosity compared to the control population, but the fragment populations were not significantly less heterozygous than the control. Although the fragment populations were markedly different in size, they did not differ in heterozygosity among themselves. The ability of fragment populations to maintain genetic viability is probably due to migration. The rainforest fragments exist in an extensive grassland containing a variety of habitat corridors which could facilitate movement and gene flow. Following the electrophoretic work, spool-and-line and radio tracking and live-trapping were carried out in the corridors; the presence of M. cervinipes in the corridors and its use of the corridors for movement was confirmed. The island population appears to be substantially more isolated than the fragment populations as water is likely to be a much more effective barrier to movement in M. cervinipes than is heterogeneous grassland. The genetic viability of the island population has probably been reduced through drift, leading to fixation of alleles: six of eight polymorphic loci being fixed in the island population. We therefore suggest that retention or establishment of habitat corridors is an important means of sustaining the genetic variability of populations in fragmented systems.

It has been demonstrated that tripping of peanut flowers by large bees enhances pollination and improves peanut yields of some early commercial peanut varieties but this phenomenon has not been evaluated for recently developed peanut varieties. Our study aimed to establish whether bees provide this service for peanut varieties currently grown on the Atherton Tableland, north Queensland. To measure the impact of native and introduced bees occurring without assistance in crops, we set up 3 cage treatments (meshed to exclude large bees; partly meshed to allow bee access but take cage effects into account; and unmeshed) in each of 7 peanut crops. We also trapped bees in each crop for the entire flowering period. In a separate experiment, designed to ensure that suitable large bees were abundant nearby, we set up 6 replicates of the same 3 cage treatments in another peanut crop where 4 honeybee colonies were located. On a sunny day, during peak flowering, we monitored the number of honeybee visits to the peanut flowers in this crop between 0820 and 1730 hours. At harvest, we found that there was no effect of treatment on peanut yield (number of peanuts/g plant biomass). Thus, bees were not contributing to peanut pollination. This was reflected in the fact that no honeybees (or native bees) were observed visiting peanut flowers in the crop augmented with honeybees, and even though we caught 6 species of suitably sized bees in the other peanut crops, no bee species was common. It seems likely that selection for other desirable peanut traits has resulted in development of varieties that are no longer attractive to flower-tripping bees and that there is no advantage to be gained by north Queensland growers promoting bees in crops of these varieties.

AbstractGrowth of larvae of the whitefringed weevil,Graphognathus leucoloma(Boheman), was studied in the laboratory and on various crops in pots in a shadehouse at Kairi, on the Atherton Tableland in north Queensland. In the laboratory at 25.5 ± 1°C there were 11 instars for which head capsule widths and weights were recorded. The first instar weighed 0.14 mg. This was a non-feeding stage capable of prolonged survival, and after 10 weeks in soil without food 60% survived. When provided with carrot (Daucus carota) larvae grew to 2 or 3 mg after 6 to 7 weeks, then increased rapidly in weight reaching 140 mg after 120 days. At 25.5°C the average time from first instar to adult was 311 days, due in part to a long prepupal period. Larval growth was measured on the roots of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) plants in pots in summer and winter. Under summer conditions (mean soil temperature 23.3°C) larvae reached 140 mg in about 120 days, similar to that in the laboratory on carrot. These fully grown larvae remained in the pots over the mild winter without pupating. Larvae developing in autumn/winter grew more slowly, but the fully grown larvae were then exposed to high spring (early summer) temperatures and soon pupated, the average time from first instar to adult being 273 days. The indications are that temperatures above 25°C quickly precondition mature larvae from Tolga for pupation, thus explaining the broad timing of adult emergence in the field in north Queensland. On different plants common near Tolga, larvae grew most quickly on peanuts and on the pasture legumes dolichos (Lablab purpureus) and stylosanthes (Stylosanthes guianensis). Survival on maize equalled that on peanuts (46.5% in sterilized soil) but growth was less. Larval survival and growth on the grass crowsfoot (Eleusine indica), and (surprisingly) on the pasture legume glycine (Neonotonia wightii) was very poor.

Australian sites that are claimed to preserve evidence of fossil spores and pollen for Late Neogene (Late Miocene, Pliocene) climates, mostly lack one or both of the prerequisites, i.e. accurate dating and continuous preservation of plant microfossils. Nevertheless, the available data confirm that climatic gradients closely parallelled those of the present day in direction although not in strength: broad-scale vegetation successions are ecologically consistent with long-term cooling and (middle to high latitudes) drying trends in global climate. Although it is rarely possible to establish precise meteorological values for the individual sites along these gradients, climatic envelopes can be estimated for many localities. For example, during the Late Miocene–Pliocene, mean annual precipitation along the northern margin appear to range from 600 mm to 1500 mm in the Kimberley region of north-western Western Australia to above 2000–3000 mm on the Atherton Tableland, north-eastern Queensland. If these and other estimates are correct, then environments along the northern margin show only gradual (unidirectional?) change or did not fall below biologically critical thresholds during the Late Miocene and Early Pliocene but began to approach modern values during Late Pliocene time. Whether the observation implies that meteorological controls at this time were similar to modern synoptic scale systems is unknown. Climates along the southern margin were more labile. For example, there is unequivocal evidence that Early Pliocene climates in the Bass Strait region were effectively more humid and warmer than at present, possibly resembling conditions now found on the northern New South Wales and southern Queensland coast. This phase was preceded (weak evidence) and succeeded (strong evidence) by less temperate conditions during the Late Miocene and Late Pliocene respectively. Forcing factors appear to include changes in relative sea level, orographic effects and, speculatively, remote events such as the isolation and reconnection of the Mediterranean Sea to the world ocean. One promising direction for future research is provided by a recently located onshore basin in Western Australia which preserves an extraordinarily long (100 m), detailed sequence of Late Neogene palynofloras.

Streszczenie:

Distribution data on the mammals of the wet tropics have been used to analyse biogeographic patterns in assemblage composition and to correlate patterns of species richness with environmental factors such as climate and vegetation. Multivariate analyses suggest five different geographically separated assemblages of rainforest mammals. The most species-rich is found in the central uplands (Atherton Tableland) with a decrease in species richness to the north and south and with decreasing altitude. The most species-rich areas are characterised by large areas of rainforest with a rounder shape (low shape index), high annual rainfall, consistent rainfall in the dry season and a diversity of rainfall regimes within the area. Multiple-regression analysis suggests that the combination of rainforest area and shape explain the most variance (r2 = 0·74) in the patterns of species richness of rainforest mammals. Various measures of habitat diversity are also highly dependent on area, and a similar degree of the variance in species richness (r2 = 0·78) can be explained by using rainforest shape and habitat-diversity variables (rainfall and vegetation diversity) and excluding area. This suggests that the effect of area on the patterns of species richness is primarily due to its positive influence on habitat-heterogeneity factors in the regression. Analysis of the guild structure (number of guilds and the species richness within each guild) indicates that it is the number of species within guilds that most strongly affects patterns of species richness in rainforest, although the number of guilds also has an effect. Most of the variance in species richness can be attributed to three (primarily arboreal) guilds that have previously been shown to be the most extinction- prone species in the wet tropics. These patterns suggest the hypothesis that current patterns of mammalian species richness in wet tropics rainforest are primarily the result of localised extinctions in those areas most affected by Pleistocene contractions of the rainforest. The relative impacts of these contractions on each rainforest block are indexed by current area and shape.

Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus lumholtzi), one the largest arboreal mammals in Australia, has been poorly studied owing to its limited distributional range and secretive habits within tropical rainforests. This study investigated the way D. lumholtzi used its habitat within a rainforest fragment on the Atherton Tableland, North Queensland. Thirteen animals were fitted with radio-collars to determine their spatial and temporal use of habitat. Female D. lumholtzi used exclusive home ranges averaging 0.7 ha in area (90% harmonic mean), while males occupied larger home ranges of an average of approximately 2 ha, allowing for a density of 1.4–1.5 adult tree-kangaroos per hectare within the study area. The exception to this home- range size was one juvenile male presumably undergoing post-natal dispersal that used several forest fragments and other habitats, with a home range of 332 ha. Home ranges of males overlapped in part the ranges of several females. Home ranges of males tended to abut those of other males, and antagonistic encounters occurred at the boundaries of the home ranges. Males had a significantly larger body size than females (males 8.63 kg; females 7.05 kg). Social interactions between individuals, apart from antagonistic male–male encounters, were observed infrequently. Only 6% and 2.7% of fixes for females and males, respectively, included the presence of another animal in the same or adjacent tree at the time of location. Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroos were associated with a wide range of rainforest trees and a smaller number of vine species. However, in general, individual animals regularly associated with only a small suite (mean 3.5 species with >10% usage) of tree species present within their home range, and appeared to display individual preferences for certain species. Individual radio-tracked D. lumholtzi were visible only 9.4% of the time at night, and 20% of the time during the day. Males and females were as visible as each other, and both were seen significantly lower in the canopy and into the mid-storey during the night than during the day.

Australia’s two cranes, the brolga (Antigone rubicunda) and Australian sarus crane (Antigone antigone gillae), form dry-season flocks on the Atherton Tablelands in north Queensland, Australia, where they forage almost exclusively amongst planted crops. The long-term relationship between cranes and farmers is therefore critical to their conservation, especially as the cranes can sometimes cause significant economic damage to crops. We interviewed farmers to explore their current attitudes to cranes and their intentions for land use that might affect the birds. We found that most farmers tolerated the cranes, particularly when they feed among stubble. Most, however, are increasing the efficiency of their agronomic practices, harvesting combinable crops such as maize and peanuts in ways that are beginning to reduce post-harvest crop residues. There is also a rapid trend away from field crops to perennial and tree crops that have a higher return per unit area. Both trends may reduce foraging opportunities for the cranes and, unless managed effectively, are likely to increase the potential for damage and conflict with farmers in the field crops that remain.

Lumholtz's Tree-kangaroo Dendrolagus lumholtzi is endemic to the rainforests of north Queensland, Australia. Most records of D. lumholtzi are from upland forests on the Atherton Tablelands, an area extensively cleared for agriculture. In 1997, residents of the Tablelands formed the Tree Kangaroo and Mammal Group Inc. (TKMG) with the aim of promoting the conservation of the species. The first project of TKMG was an intensive community-based survey of the distribution of D. lumholtzi. Residents of all postal districts encompassing areas of upland rainforest within the range of D. lumholtzi were sent a written questionnaire seeking details of tree-kangaroo sightings. The Malanda postal district was surveyed in 1998 while all other postal districts were surveyed in 1999. In total, 10 122 questionairres were distributed in the survey. "Nearly 800 responses were received to the survey, providing 2 368 sighting records of D. lumholtzi. Of these, 367 records were of dead tree-kangaroos, mostly road-kills." The survey has provided a much more comprehensive account of the distribution of the species than was previously available. Most records of D. lumholtzi obtained in the survey were from upland forests between Atherton and Ravenshoe, particularly remnant forests in the central and western Tablelands. Although the survey methodology is biased towards areas frequented by humans, these patterns are consistent with independent surveys. The conservation of D. lumholtzi on the Tablelands would benefit from the protection of remnant forests, the restoration of habitat and a reduction in the incidence of road-kills and dog attacks on tree-kangaroos.

Summary Ficophagus from collecting trips in eastern Australia, made over 15 years, are summarised and show that species of the genus occurred widely in sycones of Ficus, subgenus Urostigma, section Malvanthera. Two new species (based on morphological differences and molecular sequencing) are described: Ficophagus elizabethae sp. n. from Ficus macrophylla, F. rubiginosa and F. obliqua, and Ficophagus richardi sp. n. from Ficus obliqua; and a morphospecies, Ficophagus Morphospecies malandicus from Ficus obliqua. Ficophagus elizabethae sp. n. is characterised by having the excretory pore (EP) opening from the level of the junction of the conus and shaft of the stylet to that of the knobs, a relatively long procorpus (1.0-2.5 times length of stylet), female tail with an obliquely truncate tail with a hyaline area and a finely to broadly rounded tip which may be mucronate; post-vulval uterine sac (PUS) ca one vulval body diam. (VBD) in length; rose-thorn-shaped spicule with distinct rostrum and prominent condylus; and genital papillae arranged as largest pair adcloacal, second pair posterior to mid-tail length, and third small pair near tail tip; and was collected from Sydney in New South Wales, to Bundaberg in Queensland (QLD). Ficophagus richardi sp. n. is characterised by having the EP opening at the level of the junction of the stylet shaft and conus, a labial cap which is raised around the opening for the stylet; procorpus 0.8-1.7 times length of the stylet, PUS <1 VBD in length, long uterus, and female tail with a V-shaped hyaline area at the bluntly rounded tip; rose-thorn-shaped spicule with a small rostrum and prominent condylus, three pairs genital papillae, first and largest on anterior cloacal lip, second at 70% of tail length measured from cloacal aperture, and third near tip, and was collected from Ban Ban Springs in the south to the Bundaberg region in the mid-north of QLD. In addition, in the absence of pertinent molecular sequences, a morphospecies is described. Ficophagus Morphospecies malandicus is characterised by having the EP opening anterior to the junction of the stylet conus and shaft, procorpus 0.9-2 times length of stylet, a short PUS usually <1 VBD long, short uterus, rose-thorn-shaped spicule with a raised condylus and prominent rostrum, and three pairs of subventral papillae on the tail (one adcloacal, one posterior to mid-tail and one near tail tip); and was collected from the Atherton Tableland, QLD. A table comparing morphological characteristics is provided to help with identification of Ficophagus nematodes from figs of the section Malvanthera in eastern Australia.

Flocks of brolgas (Antigone rubicunda) and Australian sarus cranes (A. antigone gillae) congregate in cropping areas of the Atherton Tablelands in north Queensland, Australia, during the non-breeding months of May to December each year and sometimes come into conflict with farmers. The central part of the region has been declared a Key Biodiversity Area, largely because it is the only well known non-breeding area for the Australian sarus crane. We investigated spatial and temporal patterns of use of this landscape for foraging by the two species to determine how they might be affected by changes in cropping. Abundances of the species were positively correlated with each other over both time and space. Sarus cranes were nevertheless markedly more abundant on the fertile volcanic soils of the central Tablelands, whilst brolgas were more abundant on a variety of soils in outlying cropping areas close to roost sites, especially in the south-west of the region. Both species used a wide variety of crops and pastures but occurred at highest densities on ploughed land and areas from which crops (especially maize) had been harvested. In addition, brolgas were also strongly associated with early-stage winter cereals with volunteer peanuts from the previous crop. We conclude that maize and peanut crops are important as foraging sites for both species during the non-breeding season, a situation that requires management in the interest of both cranes and farmers, especially as cropping patterns intensify and agricultural technology changes. However, we also note that flocking on the Atherton Tablelands indicates that brolgas and sarus cranes are likely to be adaptable to change and able to take advantage of newly created cropping areas.

AbstractTo investigate the extent of suspected hybridization between the brolga Antigone rubicunda and the Australian sarus crane Antigone antigone gillae, first noted in the 1970s, we analysed the genetic diversity of 389 feathers collected from breeding and flocking areas in north Queensland, Australia. We compared these with 15 samples from birds of known identity, or that were phenotypically typical. Bayesian clustering based on 10 microsatellite loci identified nine admixed birds, confirming that Australian cranes hybridize in the wild. Four of these were backcrosses, also confirming that wild Australian crane hybrids are fertile. Genetic analyses identified 10 times more hybrids than our accompanying visual field observations. Our analyses also provide the first definitive evidence that both brolgas and sarus cranes migrate between the Gulf Plains, the principal breeding area for sarus cranes, and major non-breeding locations on the Atherton Tablelands. We suggest that genetic analysis of shed feathers could potentially offer a cost-effective means to provide ongoing monitoring of this migration. The first observations of hybrids coincided with significantly increased opportunities for interaction between the two species when foraging on agricultural crops, which have developed significantly in the Atherton Tablelands flocking area since the 1960s. As the sarus crane is declining in much of its Asian range, challenges to the genetic integrity of the Australian sarus crane populations have international conservation significance.

Observations of radio-tagged Common Blossom Bats Syconycteris australis on the Atherton Tablelands, Queensland indicate that the time of departure from roost areas is related to the lunar cycle. During the dark phase of the moon, bats leave their roost between 5-20 mins after dark. Departure times are delayed up to 4 hrs between the period of the first quarter and full moon when the moon is bright after dusk. The predatory role of owls at night is suggested as the probable cause of this behavioural change.

Streszczenie:

Effective conservation of large mammalian species within a human-modified landscape depends on the knowledge of their ability to utilise available suitable habitat within a matrix of unsuitable habitat. We use incidental sightings of Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus lumholtzi) in north-eastern Australia that were recorded by community members in a non-standardised way to assess the functional connectivity of the highly fragmented landscape of the Atherton Tablelands for this species. By applying spatial analytical tools to available mapped information on landscape attributes and the reported sightings it was found that the species shows a low matrix resistance. Since most sightings within the matrix were found within 150 m of a patch with suitable habitat and the average distance between these patches was 77 m it can be concluded that Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroos are able to reach most fragmented suitable habitat given certain limitations of the accuracy of the used maps and sighting locations. Based on distances between suitable habitat patches and their predominant size of up to 2 ha we expect that the species can include several fragments into its home range. More sightings of Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroos than expected by chance within the matrix during dry seasons combined with shorter than expected distances into the matrix suggests the existence of seasonal resource-driven movements of this species. Due to the non-standardised nature of the data the derived conclusions need to be tested in rigorous scientific projects before they can be integrated into the development of conservation strategies for Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroos on the Atherton Tablelands.

The effect of windbreaks on the growth and yield of potatoes was measured over a 4-year period. Growth measures included the amount and severity of wind damage to leaves, plant height and number of leaves. Plots were located at various distances from the windbreak in both sheltered and unsheltered positions. The results of this project, while variable both within and between seasons, suggest that windbreaks increase the yield of potatoes between 4.8 and 9.3% for the sheltered portion of the paddock in seasons with higher than average wind speeds. A significant increase in yield has been observed between 3 H and 18 H (where H is the height of the windbreak) in seasons where wind speed was above average, although this result varied within seasons. Increased yield was attributed to a reduction in wind damage to leaves on plants growing in sheltered positions, where it was recorded.

Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus lumholtzi) is an iconic species in far north Queensland yet little is known about its health or population status. Studies on this species have been conducted in a limited number of locations and focused primarily on ecology, habitat use and home-range size. The species is relatively common in the Atherton Tablelands but habitat loss, predation by domestic, feral and wild dogs, vehicle strike, low fecundity, and disease have been identified as threats to the population. We review knowledge of population ecology and threats for this species, and include a novel collation of disease reports on all tree-kangaroos with particular reference to Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroo. Health of Lumholtz’s tree-kangaroo appears to be impacted by the increase in humans and domestic animals in their range. There have been reports of melioidosis, toxoplasmosis, tick paralysis and blindness in wild tree-kangaroos. We identify where increased information on health and population viability will improve conservation and management of the species.

A field experiment was established to determine whether excess boron (B) in a new, blended commercial fertiliser reduced growth of Sebago potatoes. Five rates of B as sodium borate (0, 2, 4, 8, and 12 kg B/ha) were mixed with superphosphate, potassium chloride, and ammonium sulfate and applied in bands, at planting, to an oxisol with a hot CaCl2-extractable B concentration of 0.7 mg/kg. At the common commercial rate of 1500 kg blended fertiliserba, 8 kg B/ha would be applied in the new blended fertiliser. Yield of grade 1 tubers was significantly (P<0.05) higher at 2 kg B/ha (27.2 t/ha) than without applied B (19.7 t/ha). Grade 1 tuber yield decreased with increasing B rate above 2 kg/ha, and the yields at 8 and 12 kg B/ha were significantly lower than the maximum yield. Plant height was not increased by low rates of B but was significantly (P<0.05) reduced by 8 and 12 kg B/ha, compared with nil B. Boron concentrations increased with increasing application rate. At 12 kg B/ha, whole shoots had 50 mg B/kg and youngest fully expanded leaves (YFEL) 31 mg/kg. Maximum tuber yield was obtained with 33 mg B/kg in whole shoots and 24 mg/kg in the YFEL. Tuber yield was significantly (P<0.05) reduced at >39 and 26 mg B/kg for whole shoots and YFEL, respectively. The sufficiency range for B in Sebago potatoes was 33-39 mg/kg for whole shoots and 24-26 mg/kg in YFEL. The threshold B concentrations for yield reduction in potatoes due to toxicity recorded in this study are much lower than those previously reported for other cultivars.

Streszczenie:

A lack of information about the spectacled flying fox (Pteropus conspicillatus) makes management and conservation of this vulnerable species difficult. The analysis of population dynamics using life-history traits and life tables is widely used in planning for the conservation and management of wildlife. In the present study, the first life table for any species of bat is provided and age estimates derived from counts of annual increments in tooth cementum rings are used to assess population trends and life-history traits in the spectacled flying fox on the Atherton Tablelands in north Queensland. As a result of high mortality, longevity was much shorter than expected from a theoretical basis. Life-table analyses suggest that the population experienced a 16% decrease during the 2 years of study. Absence of extended longevity to compensate for low reproductive output and delayed sexual maturity in ‘slow end’ mammal species such as P. conspicillatus reduces the window of opportunity for females to reproduce and adapt to changes in mortality rates. This study suggests that spectacled flying fox populations are sensitive to increased mortality and that reducing mortality rates should be the primary goal in conservation planning for P. conspicillatus.
