SUMMARY:Glenn Cocking.  ‘Moths in the ACT: what might the Scott Sisters have found if they were here?’
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nGlenn will give an overview of moths that live in the ACT\, drawing attention to some that are very widespread\, and particularly some that were studied by the Scott sisters.  He will also give some guidance on how to go about identifying the myriad of moth species present in the ACT. \nBiography\nGlenn Cocking has many years’ experience working with the Australian National Insect Collection’s Lepidoptera area\, being a volunteer curator and collector for 20 years now. He has travelled widely across the country collecting moths\, and sorted new collections and identified many specimens. Along with helping ACT community groups with their interest in moths\, this has given him a good insight into the moths of the ACT in the context of the full Australian moth fauna. Glenn\, Ted Edwards and Suzi bond are the authors of Moths in the ACT. \n \nLeft: Chelepteryx collesi\, an ACT resident which is widespread on the coast and tablelands of southeastern Australia (photo: K Christensen)\n	Right: Opodiphthera eucalypti\, possibly Australia’s most well-known large moth (previously known as Antheraea eucalypti) and is present in Canberra \nBooking\nLunchtime talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November. Talks last for 1 hour. We welcome donations by gold coins\, notes\, or electronically. The Friends use donations received at each talk to support Gardens’ programs and development\, and thank all those who have donated.  \nUnless otherwise indicated\, talks are held in the ANBG Theatrette. \nIt is a good idea to reserve a seat at the talks that you wish to attend; talks may be booked out very quickly.  Bookings can be made until the night before the talk or until seating limits are reached.  \nBooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/CJTYR \nThe Friends of the ANBG thank the speakers who volunteer their time and talents to further the knowledge of all attending events in the Gardens. Some summaries or PowerPoint presentations of Thursday talks are available to Friends at the ANBG library. Please direct queries about the talks to the Thursday Talks Team: email talks@friendsanbg.org.au. \nThe talks are in line with COVID-19 guidelines which can change rapidly.

SUMMARY:Helen Kennedy ‘Melichrus urceolatus on Black Mountain is a different species to Melichrus urceolatus on Mount Ainslie!’
DESCRIPTION:Helen\, a local botanist\, will present updated taxonomy for Melichrus\, especially on the locally relevant results which show that Nancy Burbidge was right when she thought there were actually two species in the ACT. \nBooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/CJTYT \nAbstract  \nMelichrus R.Br. is an Australian endemic genus of shrubs in the heath and heather family (Ericaceae) with just six currently described species\, all of which are confined to eastern Australia. This genus has received very little taxonomic study and its few treating authors have largely disagreed on species delimitation. Helen’s PhD research has tested species boundaries\, using both molecular and morphological data and inferred a species level phylogeny as part of the Genomics for Australian Plants Initiative to comprehensively describe the diversity in Melichrus for the first time. \nHere Helen presents a first look at the updated taxonomy for Melichrus\, revealing several new species and the evidence which support their delineation. She will focus especially on the locally relevant results which demonstrated that Nancy Burbidge was right all those years ago when she scribbled on a specimen of Melichrus in the National Herbarium collection that she thought there were actually two\, not one species of Melichrus in the ACT. \nAcknowledgements: This research is the work of Helen T. Kennedy\, Rose L. Andrew1 Ian R. H. Telford1\, Darren M. Crayn2\,3 Jeremy J. Bruhl1 \n1Botany and N.C.W.

She recently submitted her PhD thesis at the University of New England studying the systematics of a genus of native shrubs called Melichrus. Helen combines analyses of morphology\, anatomy and genetics to examine patterns of speciation and produce robust\, descriptive and highly usable taxonomic classifications. Helen aims to contribute to the description and conservation of natural diversity. \nBooking\n	Lunchtime talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November. Talks last for 1 hour.

The Friends use donations received at each talk to support Gardens’ programs and development\, and thank all those who have donated.  \nUnless otherwise indicated\, talks are held in the ANBG Theatrette. \nIt is a good idea to reserve a seat at the talks that you wish to attend; talks may be booked out very quickly.  Bookings open 22nd September until the night before the talk or until seating limits are reached.  \nBooking link: https://www.trybooking.com/CJTYW \nThe Friends of the ANBG thank the speakers who volunteer their time and talents to further the knowledge of all attending events in the Gardens. Some summaries or PowerPoint presentations of Thursday talks are available to Friends at the ANBG library. Please direct queries about the talks to the Thursday Talks Team: email talks@friendsanbg.org.au. \nThe talks are in line with COVID-19 guidelines which can change rapidly.
