ABSTRACT Maintaining cellular hydration is essential for plant metabolic activity and carbon gain. Plants typically maintain hydration through efficiency of water transport networks, the ability to avoid network disruption, and retention of water via accumulation of osmotica. Given their global domain and their enduring presence across geological eras,

Abstract Christmas beetles (subfamily Rutelinae, genera Anoplognathus, Calloodes and Repsimus) are an ecologically important and culturally significant group of Australian scarabs, known for their striking appearance and seasonal mass emergences. Over the last decade, anecdotal reports suggest widespread population declines, raising concerns about ...

ABSTRACT The Eucalyptus variegated beetle (Paropsisterna cloelia) was established in New Zealand in 2016 and has caused substantial damage to selected host species. Previous field observations suggested that Pst. cloelia larvae may feed for a longer period during the year than the closely related Eucalyptus tortoise beetle (Paropsis charybdis), New ...

Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case
Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.
