Current approaches to biodiversity conservation are largely based on geographic areas,
ecosystems, ecological communities, and species, with less attention on genetic diversity …

Background Ocbil theory aims to develop hypotheses explaining the evolution and ecology
of, and best conservation practices for, biota on very old, climatically buffered, infertile …

Phylodiversity measures summarise the phylogenetic diversity patterns of groups of
organisms. By using branches of the tree of life, rather than its tips (eg, species) …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: The origin of biomes is of great interest globally. Molecular
phylogenetic and pollen evidence suggest that several plant lineages that now characterize …

Abstract The Southwest Australian Floristic Region (SWAFR) is a global biodiversity hotspot
with high plant diversity and endemism and a broad range of threatening processes. An …

Determining patterns of plant diversity on granite inselbergs is an important task for
conservation biogeography due to mounting threats. However, beyond the tropics there are …

Southwestern Australia (hereafter referred to as the 'SouthWest')—defined as the area south
of a line from Shark Bay in the north to Eyre in the south-east—is unique among Australia's …

Hundreds of Proteaceae species in Australia and South Africa typically grow on phosphorus
(P)‐impoverished soils, exhibiting a carboxylate‐releasing P‐mobilizing strategy. In the …

This paper provides an account of the environmental history of a landlocked coastal wetland
and the surrounding nature space (Lake Claremont) located within a large Australian city …

Genetic diversity is the foundation of biodiversity, and preserving it is therefore fundamental
to conservation practice. However, global conservation efforts face significant challenges …
