Birth of a biome: insights into the assembly and maintenance of the Australian arid zone biota
- M. Byrne, D. Yeates, +11 authors K-H Wyrwoll
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 1 October 2008
The integration of phylogenetics, phylogeography and palaeoenvironmental studies is providing major insights into the historical forces that have shaped the Earth's biomes. Yet our present view is… Expand
Assessing the benefits and risks of translocations in changing environments: a genetic perspective
- A. Weeks, C. Sgrò, +10 authors A. Hoffmann
- Biology, Medicine
- Evolutionary applications
- 18 June 2011
Translocations are being increasingly proposed as a way of conserving biodiversity, particularly in the management of threatened and keystone species, with the aims of maintaining biodiversity and… Expand
Refugia: identifying and understanding safe havens for biodiversity under climate change
- G. Keppel, K. Niel, +6 authors S. Franklin
- Geography
- 1 April 2012
Aim Identifying and protecting refugia is a priority for conservation under projected anthropogenic climate change, because of their demonstrated ability to facilitate the survival of biota under… Expand
Evidence for multiple refugia at different time scales during Pleistocene climatic oscillations in southern Australia inferred from phylogeography
- M. Byrne
- Geography
- 1 December 2008
Abstract Phylogeography uses the spatial distribution of genealogical lineages to deduce the influence of historical processes on the evolution of species, and can be informative in regard to… Expand
The genome of Eucalyptus grandis
- A. Myburg, D. Grattapaglia, +77 authors J. Schmutz
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 19 June 2014
Eucalypts are the world’s most widely planted hardwood trees. Their outstanding diversity, adaptability and growth have made them a global renewable resource of fibre and energy. We sequenced and… Expand
Conservation and Genetic Diversity of Microsatellite loci in the Genus Eucalyptus
- M. Byrne, Mi Marquezgarcia, T. Uren, D. Smith, G. Moran
- Biology
- 1996
Four microsatellite loci have been characterised in Eucalyptus nitens Maiden and in six other eucalypt species. The dinucleotide repeats were identified by screening a Sau3AI genomic DNA library from… Expand
Reproductive biology of Australian acacias: Important mediator of invasiveness?
- Michelle R. Gibson, D. M. Richardson, +17 authors J. Wilson
- Biology
- 1 September 2011
Aim Reproductive traits are important mediators of establishment and spread of introduced species, both directly and through interactions with other life-history traits and extrinsic factors. We… Expand
Genome‐wide scans detect adaptation to aridity in a widespread forest tree species
- D. A. Steane, B. Potts, +4 authors M. Byrne
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 1 May 2014
Patterns of adaptive variation within plant species are best studied through common garden experiments, but these are costly and time‐consuming, especially for trees that have long generation times.… Expand
Assessing genetic risk in revegetation
- M. Byrne, Lynley M. Stone, M. A. Millar
- Biology
- 1 December 2011
Summary
1. Revegetation can provide major environmental benefits in degraded landscapes, but there is also potential for negative impacts from genetic change in local native populations. Broad… Expand
Phylogeography provides an evolutionary context for the conservation of a diverse and ancient flora
- M. Byrne
- Biology
- 8 June 2007
Phylogeography can inform conservation strategies through assessment of genetic diversity that incorporates an evolutionary perspective, and allows evaluation within a geographical context, thus… Expand
