Backdrop to encounter : the 1770 landscape of Botany Bay, the plants collected by Banks and Solander and rehabilitation of natural vegetation at Kurnell [PDF]

, 2013
The first scientific observations on the flora of eastern Australia were made at Botany Bay in April–May 1770. We discuss the landscapes of Botany Bay and particularly of the historic landing place at Kurnell (lat 34˚ 00’ S, long 151˚ 13’ E) (about 16 km

Early evolutionary colocalization of the nuclear ribosomal 5S and 45S gene families in seed plants: evidence from the living fossil gymnosperm Ginkgo biloba [PDF]

, 2012
In seed plants, the colocalization of the 5S loci within the intergenic spacer (IGS) of the nuclear 45S tandem units is restricted to the phylogenetically derived Asteraceae family. However, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) colocalization of both

Consensus classifications are crucial for conservation: How CITES utilizes checklists

TAXON, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 759-767, August 2025.
Abstract The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) is an end‐user of the consensus classifications and checklists produced by global initiatives such as the World Flora Online (WFO). This paper provides a brief background on CITES and the impact of classification and nomenclature changes on the CITES ...

A New Species of Encephalartos (Zamiaceae) from Tanzania

Journal of East African Natural History, 2007
Encephalartos kanga sp. nov. is described from Mount Kanga, an isolated hill of the Nguru Mountains within the crystalline, Precambrian Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania. The new species is distinguished by its spinose distal leaflet-shoulders with otherwise entire median leaflet margins and by the sharply tuberculate-dentate proximal side of the ...

An Updated DNA Barcoding Tool for Aloe Vera and Related CITES‐Regulated Species

Conservation Letters, Volume 18, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT DNA barcoding has revolutionized the identification of illegally traded material of endangered species as it overcomes the lack of resolution encountered with morphological identification. Nonetheless, in recently evolved and highly diverse clades, such as the relatives of Aloe vera, the lack of interspecific sequence variation in standardized

Why are some invasive plant species so successful in nutrient‐impoverished habitats in south‐western Australia: A perspective based on their phosphorus‐acquisition strategies

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 635-652, February 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Invasive plants are a major cause of the global biodiversity crisis; it is therefore crucial to understand mechanisms that contribute to their success. South‐western Australia is a global biodiversity hotspot with extremely low soil phosphorus (P) concentrations.
