Demographic patterns of nationally threatened Spiny Rice-flower and implications for conservation and recovery. Although Spiny Rice-flower (Pimelea spinescens ssp. spinescens) occupies a wide geographic range – it is still considered at a greatly increased risk of extinction because it cannot be assumed all key ecological processes (e.g. flowering, pollination, seed production, dispersal, germination and recruitment) still operate. This project – based on winter assessments in 2004, 2009 and 2012 – measured basic demographic attributes at representative populations to see how … Continue reading Spiny Rice-flower
