    Notes: Abstract Oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide release rapidly increase in seeds during imbibition. The oxygen uptake is associated with oxidative phosphorylation through cytochrome oxidase. During the early stage of germination substrate level phosphorylation may also contribute to ATP production. All indications suggest that this route of ATP production is insignificant during aerobic germination. However, during oxygen stress, substrate level phosphorylation does significantly contribute to ATP production in some species. Carbohydrate oxidation plays a significant role in the germination process. Up to two thirds of the carbon from carbohydrate breakdown enters the tricarboxylic acid cycle through the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase reaction. This anapleurotic input into the Krebs cycle most probably reflects the high demand on intermediates from the cycle for biosynthesis. The extent to which other substrates are utilized for respiration is uncertain. Information regarding the levels of key metabolites and enzymes, as well as their cellular distribution is limited. The involvement of gene expression in the regulation of respiratory metabolism is poorly characterised. Several genes which have been cloned are only expressed during germination. With the exception of the early methionine labeled polypeptide, little is known about the function of these genes.

    Description: Testudines are a group of reptiles characterized by the presence of a shell covered by keratinous shields. Stigmochelys pardalis is the most widely distributed terrestrial testudine in southern Africa. Although relatively common with some life history traits being well known, the growth of this species has yet to be studied in any detail. The bone microanatomy of this clade differs from that found in other amniotes, where terrestrial species tend to display characteristics normally seen in aquatic species and vice versa. A detailed histological analysis of the limb bones of S. pardalis reveals extensive variation through ontogeny. Cortical bone becomes increasingly thicker through ontogeny and is finally resorbed in the late sub-adult stage, resulting in a thin cortex and a large infilled medullary cavity. The predominant bone tissues are parallel-fibred and lamellar-zonal for the forelimbs and hind limbs respectively. The oldest individual displayed an External Fundamental System indicating that the growth rate had decreased substantially by this stage. Variability is prevalent between the forelimb and hind limb as well as between early and late sub-adults Forelimb elements exhibit characteristics such as faster growing parallel-fibered bone tissue, slightly higher vascularization and a predominance of annuli over Lines of Arrested Growth (LAG) compared to the hind limb which exhibits poorly vascularized, slower growing lamellar-zonal bone interrupted by LAGs. These differences indicate that the forelimb grew more rapidly than the hind limb, possibly due to the method of locomotion seen in terrestrial species. The extensive bone resorption that occurs from the early sub-adult stage destroys much of the primary cortex and results in a significantly different ratio of inner and outer bone diameter (p = 3.59 × 10­−5; df = 28.04) as well as compactness (p = 2.91 × 10­−5; df = 31.27) between early and late sub-adults. The extensive bone resorption seen also destroys the ecological signal and infers an aquatic lifestyle for this species despite it being clearly terrestrial. This supports the results of other studies that have found that using bone microanatomy to determine lifestyle in testudines does not produce accurate results.

    Description: Field work was undertaken in the Lihou Reef National Marine Park (Coral Sea Territory, Australia, 17.583°S, 151.517°E) in December 2008. The aim of the remote sensing component of the field work was to collect in situ data for both remote sensing model parameterisation and for validation of remote sensing based results. Effort was placed on trying to characterise the (variations in) optical properties of the benthic substrates and vegetation that are part of the Lihou Reef Cay system (i.e. surrounding reefs and islands, respectively). Sample biotic and abiotic benthic types were sourced in situ in the intertidal- (exposed, above water) and the near-shore subtidal (submerged) zone. Benthic substratum reflectance spectra were measured from opportunistic samples collected in the intertidal and subtidal zone by snorkelers and divers. Spectral data was collected with an ASD FieldSpec Pro HandHeld spectroradiometer (http://www.asdi.com) which is designed for portability and measures over the range 325 to 1075 nm with a sampling interval of 1.4nm and a Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) resolution of 3nm. Substratum irradiance reflectance was calculated as the ratio of the upwelling radiance (Lu) and the downwelling irradiance (Ed): Rsub = Lu/Ed Thus the substratum reflectance is a measure of the reflection of light from the target irrespective of the illumination quantity. All measurements were collected close to the target with a 5° fore-optic fitted to the optical fibre, limiting the instrument field of view (FOV) to that of the only the target. This was done to ensure that only pure end-member spectra were collected. Ed was defined by a spectralon panel and at the same distance as the selected target. Above-water spectra were collected with the foreoptic mounted in a standard pistol-grip enabling accurate pointing of the fibre within its FOV boundaries. Reference spectra from the spectralon panel were collected at frequent intervals to compensate for the effects of variable atmospheric conditions on natural irradiance. Field spectral reflectance values were corrected for irradiance variations, assuming a linear change in irradiance over time, using these reference spectra. Additional data collected during this field campaign included: - Reflectance spectra of, intertidal and benthic substrates believed to be representative of the island/lagoon system using a non-submersible ASD FieldSpec handheld spectrometer as well as a submersible HydroRad spectrometer. - Measurements were made of the optical quality of the waters within the Lihou lagoon, the individual cay lagoons of Georgina, Anne, Lorna and Turtle cays as well as the surrounding open ocean locations.

    Description: Wallis Lake is a shallow estuarine lake system consisting of lakes and rivers with interconnecting channels. The lake is a significant environmental resource and is also used for recreational activities and aquaculture. In collaboration with participants from NSW DPI, CSIRO undertook a fieldwork campaign at Wallis Lake 12-16 May 2008 to fill in known gaps in saltmarsh, mangrove, seagrass and macro-algae spectra as well as abiotic backgrounds such as sand and mud. Benthic material were collected with an Eckman grab, where the structure and shape of the sample was retained. Samples were placed on a black neoprene mat and spectra were collected using a RAMSES spectroradiometer. The RAMSES spectroradiaometer system deployed at Wallis Lake consisted of two cosine collector sensors measuring downwelling irradiance (Ed) and one radiance collector measuring upwelling radiance (Lu). In situ spectral reflectance of intertidal and supratidal vegetation were collected with an ASD-FR FieldSpec Pro spectroradiometer system which measures over a range of 325 to 2500 nm. To fill in data gaps, additional supratidal substratum spectra were collected in September 2008 with an ASD FieldSpec Pro HandHeld spectroradiometer (www.asdi.com). Substratum irradiance reflectance was calculated as the ratio of the upwelling radiance (Lu) and the downwelling irradiance (Ed): Rsub = Lu/Ed Thus the substratum reflectance is a measure of the reflection of light from the target irrespective of the illumination quantity. All measurements were collected close to the target with a 5° fore-optic fitted to the optical fibre, limiting the instrument field of view (FOV) to that of the only the target. This was done to ensure that only pure end-member spectra were collected. Ed was defined by a spectralon panel at the same distance as the selected target. Above-water spectra were collected with the foreoptic mounted in a standard pistol-grip enabling accurate pointing of the fibre within its FOV boundaries. Reference spectra from the spectralon panel were collected at frequent intervals to compensate for the effects of variable atmospheric conditions on natural irradiance. Field spectral reflectance values were corrected for irradiance variations, assuming a linear change in irradiance over time, using these reference spectra. Data collected during this field campaign included: - Inherent optical properties (IOP) and apparent optical properties (AOP) measurements of water quality in representative waters of Wallis Lake and rivers _ Reflectance measurements of seagrasses, algae and mud/sand collected with a RAMSES - field spectrometer - GPS depth transect across Posidonia beds on the eastern boundary of Wallis Island. - A pseudo invariant feature (PIF) measurement on the Wallis Island airstrip was collected to assist in the atmospheric correction of the 2003 Quickbird imagery which had exhibited significant calibration issues and could not be successfully corrected for atmospheric effects by standard methodologies undertaken by CSIRO. The reflectance values collected at the airstrip was assumed to represent reflectance at the time when the satellite image was collected. - Terrestrial reflectance spectra of saltmarsh and mangrove species as well as other key species present were collected with an ASD field spectrometer for inclusion in the spectral library as well as for validation purposes.
