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 …

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 …

The flora of the Southwest Australian Floristic Region (SWAFR) is characterized by
remarkable richness, endemism, spatial turnover and numbers of threatened taxa …

Context As threatening processes continue to impact rare plant populations, the use of
translocations is becoming increasingly frequent. The ultimate success of translocation …

Australia is a large, old and flat island continent that became isolated following the breakup
of the Gondwanan super continent. After more than 40–50 M years of independent …

Establishment of viable threatened plant populations through translocations presents
significant practical and logistical challenges. To address these challenges there is a need …

Females vary in the size of offspring that they produce, often in a manner that depends on
maternal age or stage. This is puzzling, given that offspring size is predicted to evolve to a …

Phylogeographical patterns of trees in topographically subdued, unglaciated landscapes
are under-reported, and might reflect population persistence and the influences of …

Vertebrate pollination has evolved in many plant lineages, with pollination by birds the most
prevalent strategy. However, in Banksia (Proteaceae) many species are visited by a …

The Southwest Australian Floristic Region (SWAFR) supports an exceptional number of
threatened and data-deficient flora. In this study, we:(i) collated statistics on the number …
