Platysace (Apiaceae) of south-western Australia: silent story tellers of an ancient human landscape
TL;DR: Differences between utilized and non-utilized taxa are found, particularly when considered against the generally complex phylogeographical patterning in south-west Australian plant taxa.

Gene Flow and Genetic Variation Explain Signatures of Selection across a Climate Gradient in Two Riparian Species
Tara Hopley,Margaret Byrne +1 more
TL;DR: Results demonstrate links between connectivity, standing genetic variation, and the development of signals of selection in two species that have differing distributions along a river traversing a climate gradient and strengthen knowledge of the drivers and scale of adaptation.

Connectivity in riparian plants: influence of vegetation type and habitat fragmentation overrides water flow
Tara Hopley,Margaret Byrne +1 more
TL;DR: Generalized dissimilarity modelling examined the relative influence that vegetation type and habitat fragmentation had on patterns of genetic differentiation across the landscape and found reduced connectivity caused by habitat fragmentation was evident in the restricted riparian species, while reduced connectivity in the widespread species was related to the change of vegetation type between sites.

Pollen dispersal, pollen immigration, mating and genetic diversity in restoration of the southern plains Banksia
Melissa A. Millar,David J. Coates,Margaret Byrne,Siegfried L. Krauss,Matthew R. Williams,Justin Jonson,Stephen D. Hopper +6 more
TL;DR: Equivalent mating system and genetic diversity parameters and low to moderate levels of genetic differentiation between restoration and remnant populations suggest pollinator services have been restored in genetically diverse restoration populations of local provenance B. media as early as four years from planting.

Variability in feed quality between populations of Acacia saligna (Labill.) H. Wendl. (Mimosoideae)—implications for domestication
TL;DR: The results showed that A. saligna has the potential to produce feed of an acceptable quality, and may be genetically controlled, suggesting that the feed quality of A.saligna could be improved through selection and breeding.
