Molecular bacterial diversity of a forest soil under residue management regimes in subtropical Australia (2006)

He, Jizheng, Xu, Zhihong, Hughes, Jane

A major operational change in exotic pine plantations of subtropical Australia has been the decision to retain postharvest residues on site. A long-term field experiment was established in February...

# Digital beginnings: Young children's use of popular culture, media and new technologies (2005)

Marsh, Jackie, Brooks, Greg, Hughes, Jane, Ritchie, Louise, Roberts, Samuel, Wright, Katy

This report presents the findings of a study which took place from September 2004 to July 2005. The study explored young children’s (aged from birth to six) use of popular culture, media and new...

Analyses of soil fungal communities in adjacent natural forest and hoop pine plantation ecosystems of subtropical Australia using molecular approaches based on 18S rRNA genes (2005)

He, Jizheng, Xu, Zhihong, Hughes, Jane

Soil fungal communities were studied using 18S rDNA-based molecular techniques. Soil DNA was analyzed using temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TGGE), single-stranded conformational...

Characterization of microsatellite loci in the endemic mound spring snail Fonscochlea accepta and cross species amplication in four other hydrobiid snails (2005)

Wilmer, Jessica Worthington, Hughes, Jane, Ma, Jing, Wilcox, Chris

We identified and characterized nine microsatellite primer pairs from Fonscochlea accepta, a species of hydrobiid snail endemic to artesian mound springs associated with the Great Artesian Basin in...

Long-term variation in the distribution of the White-bellied Sea-Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) across Australia (2005)

Shephard, Jill Mary, Catterall, Carla, Hughes, Jane

The White-bellied Sea-Eagle Haliaeetus leucogaster (Accipitridae) is widespread within Australia. However, in a number of states it is thought to be declining locally in response to human induced...

Are populations of mayflies living in adjacent fish and fishless streams genetically differentiated? (2005)

Peckarsky, Barbara L., Hughes, Jane, Mather, Peter Barclay, Hillyer, Mia, Encalada, Andrew C.

1. Conspecific populations living in habitats with different risks of predation often show phenotypic variation in defensive traits. Traits of two species of mayflies (Baetidae: Baetis bicaudatus and...

Historical transoceanic dispersal of a freshwater shrimp: the colonization of the South Pacific by the genus Paratya (Atyidae) (2005)

Page, Tim, Baker, Andrew Michaael, Cook, Benjamin Douglas, Hughes, Jane

Aim To infer the phylogenetic relationships within the freshwater shrimp genus Paratya Miers, 1882 (Atyidae) and to use these data to answer biogeographical questions about the location, timing and...

Pre-lysis washing improves DNA extraction from a forest soil (2005)

He, Jizheng, Xu, Zhihong, Hughes, Jane

A pre-lysis buffer washing procedure was introduced to DNA extraction from a forest soil with high organic matter and iron oxide contents. Sodium phosphate of 0.1 M (pH 7.5) was used as a buffer to...

Spatial patterns of genetic structure among populations of a stone-cased caddis (Trichoptera: Tasimiidae) in south-east Queensland, Australia (2005)

Schultheis, Alicia Slater, Hughes, Jane

1. Gene flow and dispersal among populations of a stone-cased caddis (Tasimiidae: Tasimia palpata) were estimated indirectly using a 460 bp region of the cytochrome oxidase I gene of mitochondrial...

The taxonomic feedback loop: symbiosis of morphology and molecules (2005)

Page, Tim, Choy, Satish C., Hughes, Jane

Here, we relate the ongoing taxonomic story of a species complex of problematic, cryptic Australian freshwater shrimp (Atyidae; Caridina) to highlight the relative strength and utility of different...
