Abstract:

This study was carried out in a woodland on the campus of University of Western Sydney at Richmond, Australia to investigate seasonal effects and recovery speed of arboreal arthropods after disturbance. Twenty one pairs of Melaleuca linariifolia Sm. trees were sampled using insecticide spraying in a log2 nine period sequence (1-32) of weeks supplemented by additional samples to incorporate seasonal (weeks 24 and 48) and annual (week 52) samples. Using species accumulation curves, it was found that four collectors provided a reasonable representation of a tree's fauna and that a single tree doe

Abstract:

The results of the 3-year project successfully indicated that petroleum-derived spray oils can be used for effective control of a range of citrus pests including citrus leafminer, Asiatic citrus psyllid, chaff scale, red scale, citrus red mite. The results suggested that it should be possible, through use of horticultural and agricultural mineral oils and enhanced natural enemy activity, to reduce the number of pesticide sprays applied annually in China from 14-16 sprays to significantly fewer sprays in most regions. The results are also valuable as references for the implementation of citrus

Abstract:

Broadscale forest clearance is a major human-induced disturbance with devastating consequences for biodiversity. With a rise in public awareness of biodiversity, the last few decades have seen an increasing number of reforestation activities aimed at recreating natural habitat. To date, research on the outcomes of reforestation for biodiversity have mostly focused upon the recovery of vegetation structure and composition, with relatively little attention being paid to the recovery of fauna, especially invertebrates. Arthropods inhabiting soil and leaf litter constitute a considerable proporti

Abstract:

Since European settlement, around 93% of the Western Australian wheatbelt has been cleared for agriculture, leading to a range of environmental problems, including erosion, salinity, and loss of biodiversity. Recently, oil mallees have been developed for use in the reduction and prevention of salinity, and in the production of oil, activated carbon, and electricity. While some work has been done on aspects of mallee ecology in order to maximize productivity, little is known about their usefulness as a source of biodiversity in natural and agricultural systems.This study concentrates on the can

Abstract:

Pycnogonida is a subphylum of marine arthropods showing unique characteristics. Their position within the Arthropoda is not yet clear, but strong evidence has, suggested they may be the extant sister taxon to all other arthropods. The phylogenetic affinities among the extant families of pycnogonids: Ammotheidae, Colossendeidae, Callipallenidae, Nymphonidae, Phoxichilidiidae, Pycnogonidae, Austrodecidae, Rhynchothoracidae, and the position of problematic genera such as Endeis, Pallenopsis and Tanystylum, are uncertain.

Abstract:

There is currently little knowledge about the dynamics of invertebrates in Australian viticultural ecosystems. This study was conducted in Coonawarra vineyards over three seasons (years) and has focused on identifying natural enemies, their seasonal phenology, multiple species interactions, and potential for the suppression of the pest lepidopteran Epiphyas postvittana (Tortricidae). The work presented in this thesis shows that endemic natural enemies have far greater potential to control E. postvittana than has been realised.

Abstract:

This study investigated the role that native insectary plants can play in promoting predatory arthropods, and thereby to enhance biological control of vineyard pests in Australia. I also set out to clarify if light brown apple moth (LBAM), Epiphyas postvittana (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is the main lepidopteran pest of grapevines in vineyards. Economic damage is caused to grapevines each season by pest species and E. postvittana is considered the dominant insect pest in Australian vineyards. However, recent observations suggested that species of tortricids other than E. postvittana ma

Abstract:

Insecticides of botanical origin have played an important role in human attempts to manage arthropod pests. In addition, they have provided templates for synthesis of novel compounds, associated with their modes or action and/or biochemical target(s). Numerous investigations have been conducted, including many recently, on the arthropod activity of plant extracts and essential oil in many regions of the world, including the Americas, Europe and Asia. However, similar work has not been conducted in Australia. It was hypothesised there was a high likelihood that novel secondary compounds with s

Environmental stress resulting from factors such as over grazing can have far-reaching effects on an ecosystem. This thesis aimed to increase the understanding of the wider biodiversity impact of stress and disturbance in semi-arid systems. The response of the arthropod community, and in particular the ant community, to changes in vegetation associated with over grazing, including the loss of perennial shrubs, was examined in the Flinders Ranges region of South Australia.<br>Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, 2006

Abstract:

Climate change researchers are predicting more variable rainfall in the coming decades. This is important for grasslands because they are highly responsive to inter- and intrannual rainfall patterns. At the same time, root damage from soil-dwelling arthropods has the potential to exacerbate, or in some cases reverse, the effects of rainfall variability in grassland. Plant community changes are likely to affect aboveground arthropod communities as a result. Recent literature on the effects of rainfall on grassland ecosystems and soil-dwelling invertebrates are synthesized in chapters one and
