Acacia; Thysanoptera; alarm pheromones; bioactive properties; bioassays; gall-inducing insects; hexane; isomers; larvae; Australia
Abstract:
... A major interest in the gall-inducing thrips of Australia began with the discovery that some species have eusocial colonies. The origin of social castes remains one of the outstanding questions in evolutionary biology. The inference of the ancestral stage from study of solitary species is important to understanding the evolutionary history of semiochemicals in social species. Here we investigated ...

Abstract:
... A new method for the determination of naturally occurring imino acids in plants was devised. This method comprises the formation of dinitrophenyl derivatives and their measurement by HPLC. The determination limits were 100 pmol for 4-hydroxypipecolic acid (HPA) and proline (Pro) and 10 pmol for pipecolic acid (Pip). The recoveries of HPA, Pro, and Pip from leaf homogenate of an Acacia species were ...

Abstract:
... A pollen record from a dunefield lake on Groote Eylandt, Northern Australia is presented. This is the first substantially complete Holocene terrestrial record from the seasonally humid lowland tropics of Northern Australia. The lake originated as a seasonal swamp prior to 10 000 BP. A progressive rise in water tables occurred until a permanent lake was established at about 9000 BP. From 9000 to 75 ...

Abstract:
... A 61 cm core through a speleothem column in Drotsky's Cave, Botswana, has yielded a U-series dated pollen record of Holocene vegetation changes in the Kalahari Desert. Between c.10000-7000BP, the site was surrounded by an arid grassland with dry-adapted trees and shrubs such as Acacia and Commiphora. An increase in pollen of Combretaceae and Cyperaceae, and the appearance of pollen of such mesic s ...

Abstract:
... Phenolic-rich plant extracts have been demonstrated to improve glycemic control in individuals with prediabetes. However, there is increasing evidence that people with prediabetes are not a homogeneous group but exhibit different glycemic profiles leading to the existence of prediabetes subgroups. Prediabetes subgroups have been identified as: isolated impaired fasting glucose (IFG), isolated impa ...

To evaluate the impact of planting eucalypts and acacias in the tropical savannas of Congolese coastal plains on SOM quality, we determined P, N and C concentrations in POM in the 0–10cm layer in afforested stands (pure or in combination ...

Abstract:
... Mortality in cattle has been attributed to the eating of Acacia glaucescens, “river myall” or “sally wattle” and this tree has been shown by animal experiment to be toxic for sheep, cattle and pigs. It is to be regarded as a highly toxic plant. Experiments indicated that such toxicity was due to cyanogenetic properties in the tree and this has been confirmed by Mr. Finnemore, of Sydney. Further wo ...

Abstract:
... Acacia angustissima has potential in agroforestry systems for forage production in tropical environments. However, feeding trials indicate that the leaves are potentially toxic. Signs of toxicity in sheep are similar to those presented by sheep fed flatpea (Lathyrus sylvestris) hay which contains a high concentration of the non-protein amino acid 2,4-diaminobutanoic acid (DABA). Cation exchange ch ...

Abstract:
... AIM: Macroevolutionary analysis is increasingly being used to study biodiversity responses to climate change, for example by using phylogenetic node ages to infer periods of diversification, or phylogenetic reconstruction of traits to infer adaptation to particular stresses. Here we apply a recently developed macroevolutionary method to investigate the responses of a diverse plant genus, Acacia, t ...

Abstract:
... The effects of addition of carbonated residue mud (RMC) or seawater neutralized residue mud (RMS), at two rates, in the presence or absence of added green waste compost, on the chemical, physical and microbial properties of gypsum-treated bauxite residue sand were studied in a laboratory incubation study. The growth of two species commonly used in revegetation of residue sand (Lolium rigidum and A ...

Abstract:
... The effect of the time of wood chip addition on phenolic content, color parameters and volatile composition of a red wine made by a native Greek variety (Agiorgitiko) was evaluated. For this purpose, chips from American, French, Slavonia oak and Acacia were added in the wine during and after fermentation. Various chemical parameters of wines were studied after one, two and three months of contact ...

Abstract:
... Floral resources, such as carbohydrate-rich nectar or pollen, can bolster fitness and raise reproductive output of adult lepidopterans. Here, we used laboratory experiments to assess how those plant-derived foods impact adult fecundity, reproductive physiology and flight performance of an invasive strain of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (FAW; Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in China. More speci ...

Abstract:
... Biological control of invasive Australian acacias will benefit from recent advances in resolving the phylogenetic relationships of Acacia s.l. and Acacia s.s. (“Australian acacias”) within the subfamily Mimosoideae. Some of the phytophage taxa associated with Acacia s.s. display fidelity to a derived clade within the genus. This derived clade contains most of the Acacia s.s. species that have beco ...

Abstract:
... The ranging behaviour and habitat occupancy by three elephant groups (cow herd, bulls, and an orphan group) were studied over a two-year period in a small, fenced reserve. No summer dispersal was observed. Distinct seasonal home ranges were exhibited for all groups, with the summer (wet season) ranges being smaller than the winter (dry season) ranges. Home range size was much smaller than in other ...
