Contents OUR achievements – Strategic Priority 2A Business Plan specific outcomes (and associated Corporate Plan actions) Progress against specific outcomes and actions Action 17 cont In November 2010, another Honours student undertook a study of turtle populations in the Ornamental Lake at RBG Melbourne as a baseline site for comparing with turtle numbers and health in constructed wetlands in Melbourne. The interesting discovery was that the Lake is home to two species: the Common Long-necked Turtle Chelodina longicollis and the Murray River Turtle Emydura macquarrii. In total, 32 turtles (16 Common Longnecked and 16 Murray River) were captured, measured and fitted with microchips to assist with future studies. Liaison continued with the Water Studies Centre, Monash University, including co-supervision of student projects. RBG Melbourne staff co-authored a paper with the Water Studies Centre titled Biogeochemistry and cyanobacterial blooms: investigating the relationship in a shallow, polymictic, temperate lake, which was published in Environmental Chemistry. A visiting PhD student from Notre Dame University, Indiana, USA studied the ability of two indigenous plants Typha domingensis and Phragmites australis growing at Long Island to remove nitrogen in their root zones. This work is expected to inform the future design of treatment wetlands. Action 19 Deliver research projects on the ecology and conservation of plant and animal biodiversity in urban areas and the relationships between animals and plants on the lands managed by the Royal Botanic Gardens. A total of 24 income-producing projects on the ecology and conservation of plant and animal biodiversity in urban areas was carried out by ARCUE, including research on frog metrics, landscape fragmentation in Singapore, and Squirrel Glider and Grey-Headed Flying-Fox surveying. Twenty-one publications resulted from ARCUE’s research projects (including non-income-producing projects). page 64
