Julianne O’Reilly-Wapstra is a Professor in the School of Natural Sciences and has conducted research since 2000 on plant-herbivore interactions in native and production forests. With experience mainly in plant defences against browsing by mammalian herbivores, her research has examined genetic-based variation in herbivory and plant secondary defences, the evolution of plant defences to herbivores, community and ecosystem genetics, and impacts of abiotic factors on plant resistance. Julianne is also the Deputy Director of the ARC Centre for Forest Value, after returning to a substantive academic research position from five years in administrative leadership positions in the University Research Division.

Biography

After completing her PhD in 2004, Julianne was successful in obtaining an ARC Linkage grant and Postdoctoral Fellowship titled “Selection and Deployment of Browsing Resistant Eucalyptus Globulus and Eucalyptus Nitens”. During this time Julianne also travelled to the James Hutton Institute in Scotland to complete two short-term research fellowships on Scots Pine defences to herbivory by the extremely ferocious Large Black Slug and doe-eyed Red Deer.

From 2004 until 2012, Julianne was sub-project leader of vertebrate browsing research in two forestry Cooperative Research Centres (CRC); The CRC for Temperate Hardwood Forestry and The CRC for Sustainable Production Forestry and taught first year undergraduate Ecology and third year Plant Ecology. In 2013, Julianne was promoted to Senior Lecturer and Education Manager of the National Centre for Future Forest Industries.

In 2014, Julianne changed direction in her career by being appointed Deputy Director, Researcher Development in the Research Division at the University of Tasmania. During the five-year period Julianne was in the Research Division she moved across portfolios in various leadership roles to successfully lead and manage high performance administrative research support teams, provide oversight of the ARC and NHMRC schemes and provide strategic and operational oversight of the Graduate Research Office and University Researcher Development. During this time Julianne maintained a fractional 20% academic research role to continue her research and supervision of research candidates.

In February 2019, Julianne returned to a substantive academic role. To date, Julianne has successfully secured 27 grants (including 8 ARC grants as Chief Investigator) valued at over $3.5 million and has published 53 outputs.

Increasing co-operative agroforestry uptake among smallholders in Tasmania (2022 - 2023)$2,200

Description: Literature has provided evidence on the importance of co-operatives to overcome the barriers of agroforestry uptake. However, little is known about landowners behavioural foundations of decision-making for these kind of initiatives and resource pooling while being faced with uncertainties in the forests and wood products market. The focus of this research is to identify institutional arrangements and incentives that affect Tasmanian small landowners' decisions to engage in co-operative behaviours in agroforestry practices. Behavioural economics approaches and experimental techniques will be adopted to study the instruments and incentives which may improve the capacity of agroforestry adoption in Tasmania. The results would inform policy and incentives for co-operative agroforestry.

Agricultural Innovation Hubs Program (2022 - 2023)$2,499,999

Description: The University of Tasmania hosts one of eight Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hubs established across Australia under the Commonwealth's Future Drought Fund. Hubs are intended to be enduring institutions. The current proposal is about the Commonwealth's call to expand the Hubs' remit to service four priority areas under the National Agricultural Innovation Agenda. If funded, the Hub in Tasmania will need to operate under two agreements: the current agreement for the 'Drought Hub' and a new agreement that is about developing the Hub's pathway to expansion, while continuing to deliver to the 'Drought Hub' under the current agreement. This proposal presents the Hub's Statement of Claims on its ability and commitment to deliver practical activities and a business case that supports the National Agricultural Innovation Agenda

To move or not to move, that is the climate change question: understanding climate adaptation to inform management options (2022 - 2026)$54,405

Description: Climate is a major agent of selection which defines and limits the distribution of species and shapes morphological variation amongst populations. However, climate change is causing unprecedented selective pressure, resulting in maladaptation and a reduction in populationfitness. Already, range‐wide dieback has been reported in many of Australia's unique flora species, including the iconic eucalypts. Eucalypts are a foundation species in Australian woodland and forest ecosystems, providing essential habitat and food resources for dependant plants and animals. Using the ash eucalypts (Eucalyptus regnans [mountain ash], E. delegatensis [alpine ash], E. obliqua [messymate stringybark]) as a model, this project will: identify the major historical climatic drives of adaptation to evaluate the capacity of eucalypts to tolerate future climates (Aim 1), and determine the extent of population susceptibility to water limitations to elucidate the limits of plasticity to future climate stress (Aim 2). Results will benefit the conservation of eucalypt gene pools, assess the need for assisted migration of vulnerable populations to favourable climate habitats, and informstrategies to build resilience in restored populations to maintain biodiverse ecosystems.

Forty-spotted Pardalote and manna gum: joining the spots to save an Australian endangered bird species. (2022)$5,000

Description: Student: Erin BokMy PhD project will investigate what drives variation in food availability and quality for one of Australia's most endangered birds, the forty-spotted pardalote (Pardalotus quadragintus). The Forty-spotted Pardalote is dependent on Eucalyptus viminalis (manna gum), for habitat and as critical food source. E. viminalis produces manna, a sugary exudate, that is fed on by adult pardalotes and contributes ~80% of nestling pardalote diet. The pardalote is the only bird species known to farm manna and shows preferences for specific stands and individual E. viminalis trees that relate directly to manna quality (sucrose:raffinose ratio). Specifically, pardalotes prefer E. viminalis with a higher sucrose to raffinose ratio. This suggests that variation in manna quality may be a crucial factor that mediates pardalote success and ultimately their distribution. Results from this study will inform pardalote breeding programs and ongoing conservations efforts and provide information to benefit the conservation of Australia's iconic birdlife. All animal ethical requirements will be met.

Perennial prosperity (2020 - 2023)$123,926

Description: This project aims to disrupt the paradigm impeding the adoption of agroforestry systems. Despite well-known benefits of agroforestry, adoption has been low. Integrating trees into farming practice builds on-farm natural capital, increases the flow of ecosystem services and increases enterprise productivity and profitability. This project will apply natural capital accounting to integrate the flow of services associated with agroforestry assets into the enterprise accounts, by integrating the ecological and financial balance sheets for agroforestry systems targeting commercial and environmental returns. We will establish best-practice demonstration plantings in partnership with innovative enterprises and their advisors to build knowledge, awareness and capability around enterprise-scale agroforestry and natural capital accounting. This will build confidence within the agricultural sector around the integration of trees into agricultural landscapes for both ecological and financial returns. This project aligns well with current research in Theme 1 of the ARC Training Centre for Forest Value and with future planned research in a new Training Centre bid.

From Genes to Ecosystems: Are there Biodiversity and Ecosystem Consequences of Genetic Divergence in Eucalyptus? (2012 - 2014)$220,000

Description: This project uses Eucalyptus globulus to examine links between genes, communities and ecosystem processes. It aims to determine if genetic effects cascade through the ecosystem, the traits underlying the effects and whether these can be linked to major genes. It assesses how the extended effects of genetic variation may drive population level genetic divergence, thus linking ecological interactions with evolutionary dynamics across levels of organization. These questions have important implications now recognised as a frontier in ecology, evolutionary biology and restoration science. E. globulus is the most important hardwood plantation species in temperate regions of the world and is a model for investigating community and ecosystem genetics.

Providing a genetic framework to enhance the success and benefits from forest restoration and carbon plantings in rural landscapes (2012 - 2015)$680,000

Description: This project provides a genetic framework to guide forest restoration and carbon plantings in Australia and inform strategies for climate change adaptation. A network of genetic trials, integrated into large-scale environmental tree plantings will be used to study the genetic diversity and adaptive potential of native tree species. Using planted seedlings and direct sowing trials of two eucalypt species the project assesses the effect of multiple scales of tree genetic diversity (species, provenance, families) on performance across different sites, species mixtures and levels of structural complexity. It also assesses local versus non-local seed sources and the role of tree genetics in shaping dependent biodiversity and other ecosystem services.
