Abstract:
The marine benthic algae of Norfolk Island are documented and 60 of the 236 species are illustrated. All records are fully referenced, and type localities, local distribution and notes on taxonomic and biogeographic affinities of each species are given. Of the 236 taxa, 41 species are Chlorophyta, 41 are Phaeophyta and the remainder (154) are Rhodophyta. Apart from several undescribed taxa, none is endemic to the island, although Solieria anastomosa and Dasya fruticulosa are apparently restricted to Norfolk and Lord Howe Island, the two islands presently sharing 106 species (almost half the Norfolk marine flora and one-third that of Lord Howe). Although there are some species for which Norfolk Island represents a major range extension into or within the Pacific (Dasycladus ramosus, Halicoryne wrightii, Anotrichium anthericephalum, Herposiphonia arcuata and Polysiphonia japonica), a con- siderable number of the species are shared with the Great Barrier Reef and the New South Wales coastline as well as Lord Howe Island. Major northern range extensions are recorded for the large temperate brown alga Ecklonia radiata, and possibly Phyllospora comosa and Durvillaea antarctica, although the island more typically hosts numerous tropical algae such as Trichogloea requienii and members of the green algal order Dasycladales including Halicoryne wrightii, Bornetella nitida and Neomeris annulata. As a consequence of this survey, the two rhodymeniacean species Chrysymenia ornata and C. digitata are considered to be conspecific.

Abstract:
Edward Young, the midshipman who sided with Fletcher Christian during the Mutiny on the Bounty, which took place in 1789, was an English and St Kitts Creole speaker. The influence of Young's Kittitian lexicon and grammar toponyms (placenames) in the Pitcairn Island language – Pitcairn – exists in features such as the use of articles and possessive constructions. Pitcairn was moved to Norfolk Island sixty-six years after the settling of Pitcairn Island in 1790 by the mutineers and their Polynesian counterparts. While Kittitian for ‘for, of’ and Kittitian-derived articles ha/ah only occur in a few documented placenames in Pitcairn, the fer and ar/dar elements of possessive constructions in placenames in Norfolk, the Norfolk Island language still spoken today by the descendants of the Pitcairners, are more common than in Pitcairn placenames. It is argued that the use of the for/fer possessive construction and article forms are key social deictic markers of identity and distinctiveness, especially in Norfolk placenames. Their usage delineates Pitcairn blood heritage and ancestry (Norfolk: comefrom) as either Pitcairner or non-Pitcairner, and has been expanded in and adapted to the new social and natural environment of Norfolk Island. The analysis draws on primary Norfolk placename data and compares it to secondary Pitcairn data.

Abstract:
Norfolk Island (South Pacific), a small external territory of Australia, has a placenaming record marked by distinct historical, settlement, and land use periods. This brief communication considers the complex nexus of official–unofficial, embedded–unembedded, and English–Norfolk Island language toponyms as a way to make better sense of the localization of toponymic knowledge and to appreciate better how such knowledge functions within a minute society intricately connected to its own largely known past and an ever changing toponymic present. The data were collected during interview fieldwork on Norfolk Island during the period 2007–2009. It concludes by putting forward a four-category division of Norfolk Island toponyms: 1) official names adhering to common colonial forms; 2) official and unofficial descriptive names; 3) unofficial names commemorating local people; 4) unofficial and esoteric names remembering local events and people. These categories appear distinct, but they are not necessarily mutually exclusive. The differentiation of processes of toponyms becoming embedded and the localization of toponymic knowledge are a possible explanation for the loss of toponymic knowledge among younger people on Norfolk Island and suggests a general ecological disconnect across time involving people, history, and events associated with Norfolk Island toponyms. The Norfolk Island official–unofficial toponym distinction is applicable to other toponymic case studies, especially situations with competing placenaming histories.

Abstract:
Five seals were observed at Norfolk Island (29°S, 168°E) between 2000 and 2013. Two have been identified as Arctocephalus forsteri on the basis of photographs, a juvenile or weaned pup that weighed 9.5 kg and a subadult male. The nearest known aggregation of these fur seals is at Three Kings Islands (34°S, 172°E), 700 km to the south-east. Because New Zealand fur seals are increasing in abundance in New Zealand and Australia, sightings of vagrant fur seals at Norfolk Island are likely to increase.

Full text
Abstract:
Australia’s three small off-shore island territories – Norfolk Island in the Pacific Ocean and Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Group in the Indian Ocean – can be seen as monuments to 19th century British-style colonization, though their early paths to development took very different courses. Their transition to the status of external territories of the Australian Commonwealth in the 20th century – early in the case of Norfolk and later in the cases of Christmas and Cocos – put them on a common path in which serious tensions emerged between local populations which sought autonomous governance and the Commonwealth government which wanted to impose governmental systems similar to those applying to mainstream Australians. This article explores the issues involved, and seeks to relate the governmental history of the three island territories to the exploration of island jurisdictions developed in island studies research.

Full text
Abstract:
Like other areas of linguistic study, toponymy as a domain of analysis does not present itself as being overly reflective of its own assumptions. I ask whether a sub-category or sub-analysis dedicated to toponymy is required at all if we analyse toponyms, landscape terms, and geographical names within the scope of general linguistic analysis (lexical semantics, morphosyntax, and phonology). Or put succinctly: Is toponymy necessary? Data from a longitudinal study of Norfolk Island and Kangaroo Island toponymy indicate there are no marked aberrancies in either sets of data which cannot be accounted for by either more general Norf’k (the Norfolk Island language) or English rules. I conclude by suggesting future studies in landscape terminology should be more mindful of the requirements of the linguistic study of toponymy, especially within lexical, morphosyntactic, and phonological concerns, rather than just within the semantic domain.

Abstract:
The beginning of the new millennium has witnessed the completion of the first DNA reference sequence for Homo sapiens (Human Genome Project) and the establishment of a human SNP haplotype map (International HapMap Project). In particular, these advancements have revolutionised our understanding of the role of genes and genetic variation in the study of human traits and disease. Although a plethora of genes underlying complex phenotypes have been characterised, many are family specific or only explain a portion of the total underlying genetic component. Increasingly, researchers are turning to population isolates to dissect the genetic and non-genetic components underlying common, complex human disorders. Isolates are populations that have expanded in severe geographical or cultural isolation from a limited number of original founders. Genetic and non-genetic heterogeneity are limited or even reduced in isolates due to the presence of various genetic, environmental and societal factors. Norfolk Island is a young, South Pacific population isolate whose origins are intertwined with the fate of Her Majesty’s Armed Ship, the Bounty. The majority of permanent residents are descended from 9 Isle of Man, Bounty Mutineers and 6 Tahitian women who colonised Pitcairn Island (then uninhabited) in 1790 and relocated to the then uninhabited Norfolk Island in 1856. These historical origins have been confirmed with ancestry informative markers.

Abstract:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major public health issue and a disorder that accounts for over half of all deaths in Western countries. Many important risk factors for cardiovascular disease have been identified, with environmental factors, such as diet, smoking, bodyweight, blood pressure, lipid levels and exercise involvement, have shown to be important in cardiovascular predisposition. However, CVD and its associated risk traits display both environmental and genetic components. A family history has been shown to one of the most important risk factors for disease development, emphasising the role of genetic predisposition. This study aimed to investigate the role of genetic and environmental risk factors in this common life threatening disorder including a focus on blood pressure, lipid and body mass variation. To investigate these factors a unique isolated founder effect population from Norfolk Island was studied.

Abstract:
The Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a common disorder characterized by obesity and abnormal lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. Although not a disease in itself, MetS leads to markedly increased risk of developing type-2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). MetS, and its component traits, are influenced by a complex interplay of multiple factors including modifiable environmental variables and inherited genetic predisposition. These envirogenomic relationships are yet to be completely elucidated and are likely to vary among different populations. The Norfolk Island (NI) community is an isolated population whereby the majority of inhabitants are direct descendants of 18th century European Bounty Mutineers and Polynesian (Tahitian) women, who relocated to NI from Pitcairn Island in 1856. Due to it's geographic separation from mainland Australia the NI population grew in isolation from other communities, which has resulted in a characteristic gene pool with features including reduced genetic diversity and Polynesian admixture. There is also a very well documented family history that has been used to establish a large multi-generational pedigree. Genetic isolates such as this can provide a powerful resource for studies of genetically influenced conditions, as their pedigree structure and size can provide improved inheritance information content and statistical power. To date, the prevalence or risk of MetS, CVD and T2D, have not been formally examined in the NI population, nor has there been research specifically focusing on the genetic susceptibility of MetS in this population.

Full text
Abstract:
Complex diseases such as cardiovascular disease, pterygia, glaucoma, and myopia are caused by polygenic, environmental and lifestyle factors. Studying genetics of complex diseases within population isolates has multiple benefits over studies conducted in single families and unrelated populations. Generally, there is increased power to detect heritable effects. Also, the presence of multiple households within an extended pedigree disentangles confounding environmental variables from true genetic effects. Isolated populations also contain greater potential for identifying underlying causal quantitative trait loci. This thesis work focuses on heritability and genome-wide linkage analyses of cardiovascular disease and three eye diseases: pterygia, glaucoma, and myopia in the Norfolk Island population isolate. This study investigates gene-environment interactions of four complex diseases: cardiovascular disease, pterygia, glaucoma, and myopia.

Full text
Abstract:
Comparative phylogeography seeks to compare phylogeographic patterns of multiple co-distributed species in order to examine levels of temporal and spatial congruence. Comparative assessments can lead to reconstructions of major trends in the recent histories of dispersal of a region and can provide significant advances in understanding how behaviour, demography and natural histories of species and populations can influence phylogeographic patterns. When common spatial patterns of evolutionary sub-division are found between co-distributed species they are thought to share a biogeographic history. Although concordant phylogeographic patterns have been found across multiple taxa, not all comparative phylogeographic studies have found evidence of congruence. The influence of dispersal potential on the phylogeographic structuring of multiple co-distributed species was the main focus of this thesis. The main goal was to explore how dispersal potential, based on life history characteristics, influenced phylogeographic structure on a large-scale in multiple co-distributed species, and in particular how this influenced oceanic island populations. Whilst there are disagreements in the biogeographic literature as to whether vicariant or dispersal processes best explain the geographic distribution of a species, the colonisation and accumulation of biotic assemblages on oceanic islands is unequivocally the result of transoceanic dispersal. The biotic communities present on oceanic islands therefore inevitably consist of species that are able to disperse well. Genetic variation within island populations is directly influenced by the dispersal potential of the species in question. Species that disperse frequently will be more closely related to the source population due to continual migration to the islands from mainland (or other island) sources; whereas species that do not disperse as often will be more genetically distinct and divergent from the source population.

Abstract:
This thesis utilised the unique Norfolk Island (NI) genetic isolate population and an Australian hypertensive-normotensive (HT-NT) cohort to identify hypertension susceptibility markers. Specifically, an Australian HT-NT population was used for a genetic replication study to validate findings for candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified from a Genome-Wide Association Study of NI HT-NT samples. Additionally, epigenetic modifications in regulatory regions of candidate genes were explored to determine the potential impact of DNA methylation in hypertension. The results of this study identified novel genomic and epigenomic regions which correlate with hypertension risk providing potential for new drug targets for treatment and diagnostic applications.

The aim of this research was to assess the role of genetic variation in mitochondrial function and how this relates to migraine pathophysiology. Using our unique Norfolk Island population, a custom in-house next generation sequencing methodology was developed. This data for the first time showed that there is a molecular genetic link between mitochondrial dysfunction and migraine susceptibility. This work has provided the foundation for further studies aimed at utilising the identified markers in improved migraine diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper describes the creation of the Open Class 60 (BOC 60) racing yacht "Imagine". She was conceived to win the 1994 BOC singlehanded round the world race, an ambitious goal since the French sailors have dominated the race since its inception. This paper will examine the design of this complex racing machine, and the management of the project. The project produced a boat that was capable of attaining the goal of winning, but when the project management office failed to adhere to the project plan, the project unravelled and collapsed. In a squall at sea, at night, off Cape May, New Jersey, "Imagine's" boom failed, the main sail was dropped, and in the resultant short steep seas, "Imagine" slammed badly, dishing plating at both ends of the vessel, causing two forward frames to trip, and resulting in other structural damage to forward deck longitudinals and in the cockpit. "Imagine's" hull remained watertight, and she returned to Norfolk under short sail. Upon arrival she was inspected, and the necessary repair steps were outlined. These were discussed the following day with the project office and the ABS inspector. Within days drawings were provided to the project office for repair and to ABS for review. At that point matters stalled, no repair was started and within two week-; the project office announced their intent to abandon the project. The project plan will be reviewed, the basis for the design will be discussed, the incident at sea which precipitated the project's disbanding will be examined, and an analysis of the resultant damage given. Lessons learned from the project will be discussed. The actual design of the boat was interesting and rewarding, but it was a small part of the goal of the project. The goal was not attained, and when the BOC race started from Charleston in September 94, "Imagine" remained at the dock, her outfit and development incomplete. This paper will attempt to evaluate the reasons why. Two central themes repeat: lack of funds; and lack of sea trials. In our opinion it was this lack of funds, that led the project office to eliminate carefully planned steps in "Imagine's" development, specifically the sea trials. This also lead them to attempt an offshore voyage from Norfolk, Virginia to Newport, Rhode Island in November 1993, prior to sea trials, with a known defective boom, and a jury rigged boom vang.
