Studies in Urban Ecology
Biological invasions by deliberately introduced organisms seriously compromise the integrity of ecosystems, but their early stages have seldom been documented, especially in urban contexts. Since the 1940s, the small Asian tree Pistacia chinensis has been widely planted in streets and gardens in Armidale, New South Wales, Australia, where it makes a major contribution to the autumn colours that are exploited to promote the city. Numerous wild pla…
Perspectives on an Invasion of Paradise
The mangrove Rhizophora stylosa is believed to have been introduced to Moorea, French Polynesia, in about 1946, and has since spread to form dense single‐species forests in former saltmarsh and lagoon fringing shrubland. Although it is having a significant ecological impact, it is possible to see this biological invasion as being of ecological benefit. There is even some evidence to suggest it may in fact represent a reintroduction (or even survi…
Tropical Drift Disseminules on Southeast Australian Beaches
Records are presented of tropical drift disseminules reaching Southeast Australian beaches. About 22 species are represented and seeds of at least seven may retain viabiliry. Most species are widespread plants of tropical coastal regions of the Southwest Pacific, including Queensland although one does not grow in Australia Spatial and temporal varianbns in drip disseminule assemblages are described and comparisons made with assemblages in Fiji, Q…
Driftwood on Heard Island
Samples from 73 pieces of non-structural driftwood on Heard Island (53°06′S, 73°30′E) were identified to genus or species. Thirty-one belonged to South American species of Nothofagus . The remainder, consisting mostly of conifers especially Picea and Larix , probably came from ships' cargoes. The assemblage is similar to those reported, from smaller samples, on other southern islands. Other items of flotsam, including fishing buoys and drift-card…

Exotic trees and shrubs along a roadside transect between Sydney and Brisbane
Uncultivated specimens of 42 taxa of exotic trees and shrubs were found along a roadside transect extending from Wyong near Sydney to Ipswich near Brisbane. Of these, 31 taxa spanned two or more of ten defined regions. Distributions are related to both climatic and dispersal factors. Fruit trees (dispersed by vehicle passengers) were most widespread; some other taxa appear to be in process of spread. Fruit tree heights are also considered, as is …
