<p> The dataset aims at studying associations between mating system parameters and fitness in natural populations of trees. Fifty-eight open-pollinated progeny arrays were collected from trees in three populations. Progeny were planted in a reciprocal transplant trial. Fitness was measured by family establishment rates. We genotyped all trees and their progeny at eight microsatellite loci. Planting site had a strong effect on fitness, but seed provenance and seed provenance × planting site did not. Populations had comparable mating system parameters and were generally outcrossed, experienced low biparental inbreeding and high levels of multiple paternity. As predicted, seed families that had more multiple paternities also had higher fitness, and no fitness-inbreeding correlations were detected. Demonstrating that fitness was most affected by multiple paternities rather than inbreeding, we provide evidence supporting the constrained inbreeding hypothesis; i.e. that multiple paternity may impact on fitness over and above that of inbreeding, particularly for preferentially outcrossing trees at life stages beyond seed development. This dataset could potentially be reused for meta-analysis or review of effects of habitat fragmentation on plants (e.g. pollination, mating system, genetic diversity etc). Please contact owner prior to re-use. </p> <p>This is part of the authors' PhD at the University of Adelaide, supervised by Prof Andrew Lowe, Dr Mike Gardner and Dr Kym Ottewell. Main goals of the project were 1. Examine and quantify the impact of fragmentation and tree density on mating patterns, and how this may vary with pollinators of differing mobility 2. Determine the theoretical expectations and perform empirical tests of mating pattern-fitness relationships in trees 3. Explore the plant genetic resource management implications that arise from the observations in aims 1 and 2 </p>

Microsatellite genotype data for 3 eucalypt species. Data include progeny and adults from across a gradient of habitat fragmentation. These microsatellite data could be further used in additional analyses, e.g. genetic diversity. Samples collected from stands on eucalypts as follows: non-neighbouring adult trees had leaf and seeds collected. Leaf was used to genotype the adults. Seeds were germinated, tissue then collected, and the same microsatellites genotyped - i.e. open-pollinated progeny arrays. The dataset is possibly useful for meta-analysis or review of effects of habitat fragmentation on plants (e.g. mating system, genetic diversity etc).

In 1999 the coastal vegetation from the Head of Bight to the southeastern Yalata boundary was surveyed so that data can be used in formulating future management plans for this stretch of coast, especially in relation to fishermens camping areas and 4WD access. The Yalata Land Use Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

This survey constitutes part of the Ecological Restoration of Eyre Peninsula program and Ark on Eyre. Monitoring was conducted each spring from 1992 to 1999, although not all traplines were opened during the 1997 and 98 seasons. Pest foxes, cats and rabbits were eradicated by traps, baits and shooting ready for re-introduction of Bettongs. The response of integrated vermin control of rabbits foxes and cats was monitored. The first trial re-introduction of six male Brush-tailed Bettongs into Venus Bay Conservation Park (VBCP) was conducted in April 1994. The bettongs were radio-collared and tracked over several months to monitor their behaviour and survival. Following the success of the release, four subsequent releases occurred between September 1994 and January 1995. A total of 61 animals (22 males and 39 females) were released during this time, taking the total number of released individuals to 67. From December 2004 to October 2005 Spotlight surveys along transects were conducted every two-three months to monitor the bettong population. Vegetation photopoints were also set-up and monitored between 1992 to 1995 in the Venus Bay Conservation Park. The Venus Bay Conservation Park and Brush-tailed Bettong Release and Monitoring Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

This project was for the collection of standard vegetation quadrat data for the preparation of 1:50000 scale vegetation maps of Lincoln National Park. Data from earlier vegetation mapping of offshore islands is included in this project. The Lincoln National Park Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

Shirrocoe management plan survey contains flora data from Biological survey sites which were completed in May 2008. The survey also collected baseline data on fauna species present. Extra effort was put into searching Sandhill Dunnart habitat for signs of presence. Permanent photopoints were erected at fauna sites. A few vegetation sites are not marked. The Shirrocoe Management Plan Survey Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

A study surveying the Pureba Conservation Park and Nunnyah Conservation Reserve to obtain baseline data for PIRSA Mines & Energy 'Pureba/Nunnyah Rehabilitation Project', which is investigating regeneration of native vegetation on mineral exploration tracks; and to improve vegetation sample coverage in the area, complimenting the existing Yellabina Survey vegetation quadrats. The Pureba Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

A survey conducted to record species and plant associations throughout the remnant vegetation at Koonibba. The Koonibba Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.

This biological survey involved the collation of existing information on the biology of Innes National Park (Yorke Peninsula, South Australia) together with systematic sampling during the period of the survey. The survey objectives were to sample and map the vegetation of the park and systematically record the fauna present at a small number of representative sites throughout the park. The Innes National Park Survey is part of the Biological Survey of South Australia Program which is a series of systematic surveys conducted across the state between 1971 and the present with the broad aim of providing a baseline inventory of South Australia's flora and fauna biodiversity.
