Gleason, FH; Lilje, O; Marano, AV; Sime-Ngando, T; Sullivan, BK; Kirchmair, M; Neuhauser, S 2014 Ecological functions of zoosporic hyperparasites. Zoosporic parasites have received increased attention during the last years, but it is still largely unnoted that these parasites can themselves be infected by hyperparasites. Some members of the Chytridiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Cryptomycota, Hyphochytriomycota, Labyrinthulomycota, Oomycota, and Phytomyxea are hyperparasites of zoosporic hosts. Because of sometimes complex tripartite interactions between hyperparasite, their parasite-host, and the primary host, hyperparasites can be difficult to detect and monitor. Some of these hyperparasites use similar mechanisms as their parasite-hosts to find and infect their target and to access food resources. The life cycle of zoosporic hyperparasites is usually shorter than the life cycle of their hosts, so hyperparasites may accelerate the turnaround times of nutrients within the ecosystem. Hyperparasites may increase the complexity of food webs and play significant roles in regulating population sizes and population dynamics of their hosts. We suggest that hyperparasites lengthen food chains but can also play a role in conducting or suppressing diseases of animals, plants, or algae. Hyperparasites can significantly impact ecosystems in various ways, therefore it is important to increase our understanding about these cryptic and diverse organisms. Journal Article

Fritze, JG; Blashki, GA; Burke, S; Wiseman, J 2008-09-17 Hope, despair and transformation: Climate change and the promotion of mental health and wellbeing. BACKGROUND: This article aims to provide an introduction to emerging evidence and debate about the relationship between climate change and mental health. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The authors argue that:i) the direct impacts of climate change such as extreme weather events will have significant mental health implications;ii) climate change is already impacting on the social, economic and environmental determinants of mental health with the most severe consequences being felt by disadvantaged communities and populations; iii) understanding the full extent of the long term social and environmental challenges posed by climate change has the potential to create emotional distress and anxiety; and iv) understanding the psycho-social implications of climate change is also an important starting point for informed action to prevent dangerous climate change at individual, community and societal levels.

Wardhaugh, CW; Stork, NE; Edwards, W; Grimbacher, PS 2012-09-19 The Overlooked Biodiversity of Flower-Visiting Invertebrates Estimates suggest that perhaps 40% of all invertebrate species are found in tropical rainforest canopies. Extrapolations of total diversity and food web analyses have been based almost exclusively on species inhabiting the foliage, under the assumption that foliage samples are representative of the entire canopy. We examined the validity of this assumption by comparing the density of invertebrates and the species richness of beetles across three canopy microhabitats (mature leaves, new leaves and flowers) on a one hectare plot in an Australian tropical rainforest. Specifically, we tested two hypotheses: 1) canopy invertebrate density and species richness are directly proportional to the amount of resource available; and 2) canopy microhabitats represent discrete resources that are utilised by their own specialised invertebrate communities. We show that flowers in the canopy support invertebrate densities that are ten to ten thousand times greater than on the nearby foliage when expressed on a per-unit resource biomass basis. Furthermore, species-level analyses of the beetle fauna revealed that flowers support a unique and remarkably rich fauna compared to foliage, with very little species overlap between microhabitats. We reject the hypothesis that the insect fauna on mature foliage is representative of the greater canopy community even though mature foliage comprises a very large proportion of canopy plant biomass. Although the significance of the evolutionary relationship between flowers and insects is well known with respect to plant reproduction, less is known about the importance of flowers as resources for tropical insects. Consequently, we suggest that this constitutes a more important piece of the 'diversity jigsaw puzzle' than has been previously recognised and could alter our understanding of the evolution of plant-herbivore interactions and food web dynamics, and provide a better foundation for accurately estimating global species richness.

Bowen, KJ; Friel, S; Ebi, K; Butler, CD; Miller, F; McMichael, AJ 2012-01-01 Governing for a Healthy Population: Towards an Understanding of How Decision-Making Will Determine Our Global Health in a Changing Climate Enhancing the adaptive capacity of individuals, communities, institutions and nations is pivotal to protecting and improving human health and well-being in the face of systemic social inequity plus dangerous climate change. However, research on the determinants of adaptive capacity in relation to health, particularly concerning the role of governance, is in its infancy. This paper highlights the intersections between global health, climate change and governance. It presents an overview of these key concerns, their relation to each other, and the potential that a greater understanding of governance may present opportunities to strengthen policy and action responses to the health effects of climate change. Important parallels between addressing health inequities and sustainable development practices in the face of global environmental change are also highlighted. We propose that governance can be investigated through two key lenses within the earth system governance theoretical framework; agency and architecture. These two governance concepts can be evaluated using methods of social network research and policy analysis using case studies and is the subject of further research. Journal Article

Chen, D; Sun, J; Bai, M; Dassanayake, KB; Denmead, OT; Hill, J 2015-11-20 A new cost-effective method to mitigate ammonia loss from intensive cattle feedlots: application of lignite In open beef feedlot systems, more than 50% of dietary nitrogen (N) is lost as ammonia (NH3). Here we report an effective and economically-viable method to mitigate NH3 emissions by the application of lignite. We constructed two cattle pens (20 × 20 m) to determine the effectiveness of lignite in reducing NH3 emissions. Twenty-four steers were fed identical commercial rations in each pen. The treatment pen surface was dressed with 4.5 kg m(-2) lignite dry mass while no lignite was applied in the control pen. We measured volatilised NH3 concentrations using Ecotech EC9842 NH3 analysers in conjunction with a mass balance method to calculate NH3 fluxes. Application of lignite decreased NH3 loss from the pen by approximately 66%. The cumulative NH3 losses were 6.26 and 2.13 kg N head(-1) in the control and lignite treatment, respectively. In addition to the environmental benefits of reduced NH3 losses, the value of retained N nutrient in the lignite treated manure is more than $37 AUD head(-1) yr(-1), based on the current fertiliser cost and estimated cost of lignite application. We show that lignite application is a cost-effective method to reduce NH3 loss from cattle feedlots. Journal Article

Chen, D; Webber, M; Finlayson, B; Barnett, J; Chen, Z; Wang, M 2013-12-01 The impact of water transfers from the lower Yangtze River on water security in Shanghai Shanghai is a megacity that increasingly relies on water drawn from the Yangtze River estuary. During periods of low flow, water in the estuary can become too saline for use in city water supplies. River flow is measured at the Datong gauging station 680 km upstream from the river mouth. Several existing and planned river water extractions are located below Datong, including the Eastern Route of the South-North Water Diversion Project (ERP). The effect of these extractions on discharge into the estuary and the associated salinity levels may be significant, even though the extractions are not reflected in the discharge at Datong. We estimate the effects of these downstream extractions on water discharge into the estuary (rather than at Datong), particularly the critical discharge level below which salinity compromises water security in Shanghai. Our results show that the ERP will cause the discharge into the estuary to fall below critical levels between December and February in dry years and January to February in normal years. Future water transfer projects along the lower Yangtze River will further compound the problem. Maintaining Shanghai's water security is therefore a significant challenge for China's water resource management institutions. Journal Article

Graham, S; Barnett, J; Fincher, R; Hurlimann, A; Mortreux, C; Waters, E 2013-07-01 The social values at risk from sea-level rise Analysis of the risks of sea-level rise favours conventionally measured metrics such as the area of land that may be subsumed, the numbers of properties at risk, and the capital values of assets at risk. Despite this, it is clear that there exist many less material but no less important values at risk from sea-level rise. This paper re-theorises these multifarious social values at risk from sea-level rise, by explaining their diverse nature, and grounding them in the everyday practices of people living in coastal places. It is informed by a review and analysis of research on social values from within the fields of social impact assessment, human geography, psychology, decision analysis, and climate change adaptation. From this we propose that it is the ‘lived values’ of coastal places that are most at risk from sea-level rise. We then offer a framework that groups these lived values into five types: those that are physiological in nature, and those that relate to issues of security, belonging, esteem, and self-actualisation. This framework of lived values at risk from sea-level rise can guide empirical research investigating the social impacts of sea-level rise, as well as the impacts of actions to adapt to sea-level rise. It also offers a basis for identifying the distribution of related social outcomes across populations exposed to sea-level rise or sea-level rise policies. Journal Article

BARNETT, JONATHON; FINCHER, BEATRICE RUTH; HURLIMANN, ANNA; Graham, Sonia; MORTREUX, COLETTE 2014-06 Incorporating community values into climate change planning: a guide for government Planning for climate change is not easy. Not only is it difficult to predict the exact environmental changes that will occur at any particular place and time, it is also challenging to ensure that the diverse needs of the community continue to be met. This manual is intended for parties interested in achieving a just approach to adaptation. It provides a step-by-step guide of how to identify community values, relationships and activities that are likely to be impacted by climate change and adaptation, and how to implement a more equitable, fair and inclusive adaptation process. The overall approach is called a Values Approach for Adaptation Planning (VAAP). There are six main steps involved: 1. Gathering information on climate scenarios and vulnerability 2. Scope potential values at risk 3. Confirm actual values at risk 4. Develop a profile of residents and their values 5. Identify scenarios to guide adaptation planning 6. Encourage community participation in development of adaptation stages These six steps were developed and tested in five communities along the Gippsland East coast, Victoria—Lakes Entrance, Seaspray, Port Albert, McLoughlins Beach and Manns Beach. Throughout the manual examples from the project are used to show how each step can be conducted and the types of results that can be obtained. It is hoped that this manual will be used by communities and local governments in Australia, and internationally, to expand the current focus of decision-making from the impacts of climate changes on health and finances to the less tangible factors that gives meaning to people’s everyday lives. © 2014 The University of Melbourne Report

The project was based in the Gippsland East area of the state of Victoria Australia. Project partners included The East Gippsland Shire Council, The Department of Environment and Primary Industries, The Department of Planning Transport and Local Infrastructure, The Gippsland Coastal Board and Wellington Shire Council. This project developed an approach for identifying the social outcomes of various strategies to adapt to sea-level rise, and trialed the concept of an ‘adaptation pathway’ that can help communities and governments to take steps to manage the risks of sea-level rise. © 2014 The University of Melbourne Report

Farmar-Bowers, Quentin 2007 Influences on farming family’s strategic decisions Farming families create opportunities for themselves to take action in a wide range of areas such as, recreation, socialisation, education, farm-enterprises, businesses, off-farm investments and hobbies. Some of these actions are strategic and lead to major changes in the family’s future. Over the last few years we have developed a ‘decision-systems theory’ (DST) about strategic decisions taken by farming families. The theory was developed from in-depth interviews with farming families. The theory provides an understanding of why farming families create these opportunities. This understanding is important for businesses and governments wanting to influence farmers’ actions. However, and perhaps rather surprisingly, it is also useful for farming families to know about the ‘decision-systems theory’ because it provides a framework to help them make better strategic decisions and also assists family members participate in these decisions. The decision-systems theory has six parts; five relate to the farming family and the sixth concerns how third parties (such as businesses and governments) can interpret the theory for policy development. The paper outlines the six parts of the theory and discusses its use as a tool to build strategic-decision capacity in farming families. The paper ends with an outline of proposed work program to refine and apply the theory in the coming two years.

WILKEN, ROWAN 2007 Mobilising Place Unlike many other aspects of new technology, mobile media are fundamentallyconcerned with our negotiation and engagement with space and place. It is this facet ofmobile media use that I am interested in here. In this paper, I will look at how mobiletechnologies impact on notions and experiences of place. To do this, I’m examining theliterature on mobile media; this examination forms the first part of the paper.The argument that I want to develop in this paper – as suggested by the title – is twofold:First, that how we understand and engage with place is in key respects transformed bymobile media; and secondly, at the same time, place remains an important concept – oneworth mobilising – in order to better understand everyday mobile phone use. In thesecond part of the paper, I propose an alternative conception of place that might provemore productive and better suited to the present age of mobile media.Prior to an examination of the mobile media literature, it is necessary to make a fewprefatory remarks regarding why place remains an important concept and how thisconcept is framed and understood for the purposes of this paper.

Cousens, Roger D.; Dale, Mark R. T.; TAYLOR, JAMES; Law, Richard; Moerkerk, Michael; Kembel, Steven W. 2006 Causes of pattern in plant communities where environmental change is rapid and species longevity is short Questions: To what extent can spatial structure and its causes be determined in a highly disturbed environment? What are the main determinants of pattern and are these species-specific? How much do spatial patterns change over generations? Location: Wimmera region of southern Australia. Methods: Broad-leaved weeds were counted in 225 000 contiguous 20-cm square quadrats. A substantial number of these quadrats were recorded again after two and four years. An hierarchical ‘adaptive analysis’ approach was used to select spatial analytical methods to examine specific aspects of pattern and variation in pattern from year to year. Results: Patterns varied among species and included both dense and sparse patches surrounded by areas of zero density, diffuse gradations of density and clear anisotropy. Patterns in Erodium botrys and Oxalis pes-caprae persisted over years, whereas patterns in Arctotheca calendula were less pronounced and varied over time. Edaphic factors appeared to have only a minor influence over the spatial distribution of the weed community as a whole. In Oxalis pes-caprae, whose patches were hypothesized to have been shaped by cultivation, there was no spread in four years, despite further tillage. Outlying plants of O. pes-caprae failed to establish new patches, even in the year of greatest population increase. Little evidence of localised recruitment events was found. Conclusions: Despite repeated annual disturbances by natural and anthropogenic mechanisms, clear and interpretable spatial structure develops in annual weeds over a range of spatial resolutions. Adaptive analysis is a useful approach to the characterization of such patterns. This is a publisher's version of an article published in Journal of Vegetation Science 2006 published by Opulus Press.

Cousens, Roger D.; Wallinga, Jacco; SHAW, MICHAEL 2004 Are the spatial patterns of weeds scale-invariant? In previous empirical and modelling studies of rare species and weeds, evidence of fractal behaviour has been found. We propose that weeds in modern agricultural systems may be managed close to critical population dynamic thresholds, below which their rates of increase will be negative and where scale-invariance may be expected as a consequence. We collected detailed spatial data on five contrasting species over a period of three years in a primarily arable field. Counts in 20x20 cm contiguous quadrats, 225,000 in 1998 and 84,375 thereafter, could be re-structured into a wide range of larger quadrat sizes. These were analysed using three methods based on correlation sum, incidence and conditional incidence. We found non-trivial scale invariance for species occurring at low mean densities and where they were strongly aggregated. The fact that the scale-invariance was not found for widespread species occurring at higher densities suggests that the scaling in agricultural weed populations may, indeed, be related to critical phenomena. http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/toc/oik/107/2doi:10.1111/j.0030-1299.2004.13188.x Journal (Paginated)

Barnett, J. 2001 Adapting to climate change in Pacific Island countries: the problem of uncertainty This paper investigates the problem of scientific uncertainty and the way it impedes planning for climate change and accelerated sea-level rise (CC & ASLR) in Pacific Island Countries. The paper begins by discussing the problems CC & ASLR poses for Pacific Island Countries, and it explores the limitations of the dominant approach to vulnerability and adaptation. Next, the paper considers the way scientific uncertainty problematises policies aimed at adaptation to CC & ASLR. It argues that the prevailing approach, which requires anticipation of impacts, is unsuccessful, and the paper proposes a complementary strategy aimed to enhance the resilience of whole island social-ecological systems. Recent developments in the theory and practice of resilience are discussed and then applied to formulate goals for adaptation policy in Pacific Island Countries.

BRODIE, GRAHAM 2006 Modeling microwave heating in blocks, cylinders and spheres The factors, which determine the temperature in microwave-heated food, include the applied power, exposure time, the geometry of the microwave applicator, the geometry and size of the heated food and the electromagnetic and thermal properties of the food. Uneven temperature distribution within microwave-heated food is commonly reported. Coupled with this, any realistic analysis of microwave heating in moist food must account for simultaneous heat and moisture diffusion through the material. Analysis of simultaneous heat and moisture diffusion predicts that two waves of heat and moisture diffusion will result from microwave heating. It appears that the faster of these two diffusion waves is the dominant factor during microwave heating. This paper presents a summarised derivation of solutions to the forced diffusion equations that describe simultaneous heat and moisture transport during microwave heating of rectangular blocks, cylinders and spheres. These equations describe the subsurface heating in rectangular block and the core heating in small radii cylinders and spheres. They also predict the transition to surface heating in cylinders and spheres as their radii increase or the microwave attenuation factor of the food becomes larger. This is a post-print.

Whyte, Brendan R. 2002 Waiting for the Esquimo: an historical and documentary study of the Cooch Behar enclaves of India and Bangladesh Enclaves are defined as a fragment of one country totally surrounded by one other. A list of the world’s current enclaves and a review of the literature about them reveals a geographical bias that has left enclaves outside western Europe almost untouched. This bias is particularly noticeable in the almost complete absence of information on the Cooch Behar enclaves, along Bangladesh’s northern border with India. The Cooch Behar enclaves number almost 200. This total includes about two dozen counter-enclaves (enclaves within enclaves), and the world’s only counter-counter-enclave. Together, these enclaves represent 80% of the total number of enclaves existing in the world since the 1950s, and have been at the centre of Indo-East Pakistani and then Indo-Bangladeshi boundary disputes since Cooch Behar acceded to India in 1949.

PENNA, IAN 2004 The Eden woodchip scheme and its implications for forest fauna: a political ecology perspective A ‘political ecology’ perspective was used to examine the implications of the export woodchip scheme located near Eden in south east New South Wales (NSW) for the region’s public forests and their fauna. The modern paper industry’s political economy emphasises the importance of a large supply of wood fibre of suitable price and quality for competitive papermaking. The evolution of the Japanese paper industry and the exploitative history of forests in south east NSW interacted to create the opportunity to establish such a supply in Australia for the Japanese papermaker Daishowa Paper Manufacturing Co from 1970. The ‘Harris-Daishowa’ export woodchip scheme at Eden was based on the guaranteed supply of large volumes of pulpwood from the region’s public native forests. Meeting this supply entailed restructuring available forests through clearfell logging over about 40 years. Featuresof the regime used to manage these forests and supply pulpwood were examined within this context, and the consequences of woodchipping for fauna protection are discussed. Fauna populations were being restructured by this regime, which ‘squeezed’ them between priorities for wood production and fire management. In particular, forest-dependent fauna, such as gliders, some possums and koalas, have been detrimentally impacted. Substantial changes to public forest management in south east NSW took almost 30 years to achieve. However, while export woodchipping continues, the ‘political ecology’ of local forest fauna will be influenced by international pulp and paper markets.

Whyte, Brendan R. 2004 "En territoire belge et à quarante centimètres de la frontière": an historical and documentary study of the Belgian and Dutch enclaves of Baarle-Hertog and Baarle-Nassau Enclaves are defined as a fragment of one country totally surrounded by one other country. Currently, 259 enclaves exist in the world, all in Europe and Asia. Thirty of these enclaves, twenty-two Belgian and eight Dutch, cluster in and around a single village in the southern Netherlands, which is thus divided into the Belgian commune of Baarle-Hertog and the Dutch commune of Baarle-Nassau. The 800-year long history of these enclaves is presented for the first time in English, detailing their origin c.1198, and explaining their survival despite numerous European wars and boundary changes. A description of the situation in the enclaves today is also given, together with the effect of the enclaves on everyday life and administration in the village. A large number of maps and photographs illustrate the paper, including a series of maps depicting every one of the 959 turning points of the boundaries of the 30 enclaves, showing all buildings and properties bisected by this most unusual boundary.
