DNA data and archidaceae systematics: A new phylogenetic classification

A new phylogenetic classification of Orchidaceae is proposed that accords with these newly discovered relationships and should help to focus other areas of orchid research and stimulate the creation of new hypotheses that will direct orchid researchers to new questions.

Orchid conservation: A global perspective

These organisations have a vital role to play in countering the trend of biodiversity loss by promoting effective orchid conservation, improving networking and technology transfer, interacting with decision-makers, and in educating the orchid community.

Radiation and repeated transoceanic dispersal of Schoeneae (Cyperaceae) through the southern hemisphere.

In Schoeneae, transoceanic dispersal has been remarkably frequent, with ecological opportunity, rather than geography, being most important in dictating dispersal patterns.

New species of Lepidosperma (Cyperaceae) associated with banded ironstone in southern Western Australia

All of the taxa described here have restricted distributions in association with Banded Iron Formation ranges and are potentially threatened by present or proposed mining activities.

Solanum zoeae (Solanaceae), a new species of bush tomato from the North Kimberley, Western Australia

Research in the North Kimberley has revealed considerable taxonomic complexity in the genus Solanum L. in the Kimberley region that requires the recognition of a number of new taxa.

Microorganisms in Plant Conservation and Biodiversity

This work focuses on the conservation of mycorrhizal fungal communities under elevated atmospheric CO2 and anthropogenic nitrogen deposition in natural ecosystems and the impact of fungal pathogens in natural forest ecosystems.
