The Callistemon: Bottlebrush

Habitat: Commonly found in terrestrial. Forest light gaps, slips, margins, disturbed sites, open habitats, riverbeds, cliffs, inshore and offshore islands, fernland, herbfield,

I learned that each individual section of the plant/flower structure has its own use. The petals of a flower are used to attract insects or smaller animals while the anther produces pollen. The pollen that is produced by the anther is carried by insects or animals to the pistil of another flower where it may fertilize the eggs.

Callitris is the dominant flora species due to its history of land use and forestry management practices (increasing its value as a product) it has seen reduced competition from co-occurring species such as the veteran Eucalyptus in the area. Management strategies to have longer fire free intervals and selected forestry clearance of the subdominant Eucalyptus removal of Callitris was noted (Bradstock & Cohn, 2002; Cohn et al., 2011; I. Lunt, Jones, N., & Petrow, M.,, 2003; Ian D Lunt, Jones, Spooner, & Petrow, 2006; Ian D Lunt et al.,

The aim of our excursion to Hastings Point, New South Wales was to study the biodiversity and ecology and to see how these organisms behave in their natural habitat and surroundings. There will also be information collected about a variety of different organisms as well as population counts and observe how they have adapted to the species surrounding environment. The excursion will also be an opportunity to gather information on

All species are found in North America and tend to be nocturnal, but they inhabit relatively unique niches, which is evident in various minute differences between the species, including fur and nose size. C. townsendii tends to live in evergreen forests that have a moderate climate while C. mexicanus lives in higher, more humid and mountainous habitats. For this reason, C. townsendii has a darker, thicker coat; not only does it act as better natural camouflage, but the coarse, thick hair protects it well from the environment. C. refenisquii is found primarily in the Southwestern United States, but migrates frequently due to the changes in

Chaparral plants are able to regrow very quickly and encroach over the area of the flowers. This is necessary for the stability of that environment and ensures future success. The flowers from the flowers are trapped in the soil and are released next time there is a fire. This entire process is called secondary succession.

The Cephalanthus occidentalis is an ornammental shrub. The main aesthetic use of the buttonbush are the showy flowers. The flowers are typically white dense globes. These flowers not only offer an unique bloom shape, but they also bring fragrance to the area they are planted in. The Buttonbush blooms from June to September, but still has visual interest in the winter.

The aim of this investigation is to look at the distribution of the ornate limpet, (Cellana Ornata) and the radiate limpet (Cellana Radians) on the rocky shore. We went to the rocky shore of Sirens rocks between Island Bay and Owhiro Bay, on Wellington’s South Coast. We are studying how our chosen organisms affect each other’s distribution patterns. We sampled in the low tide zone, mid tide zone, and high tide zone. The rocky shore we explored was 80 metre long, rocky terrain, bare rock platforms with rock gulley’s.
