| Climate Change and Global Health | Nov 16, 2009 |
 Climate change raises a number of challenges to human wellbeing, among these is the threat to our health. In combination with climate change, large-scale global environmental changes such as loss of biodiversity, changes in fresh water supplies and stresses on food production systems, have the potential to cause systemic adverse alterations in patterns of health and disease. |

| Myrtaceae pollen variation: Its usefulness for family systematics and more | Oct 22, 2009 |
 Andrew Thornhill (EEG) - final PhD seminar
1pm, Botany & Zoology Seminar Room, Building 116 Daley Rd, ANU
|
The large plant family Myrtaceae occurs predominantly in the Southern Hemisphere. Its pollen morphology was studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy and Light Microscopy to determine the amount of morphological variation across the family. Pollen characters were scored and then mapped onto Myrtaceae phylogenies to examine phylogenetic signal. The morphological variation of Myrtaceae fossil pollen, Myrtaceidites, was also examined and compared to extant Myrtaceae taxa.
