Eucalypts – – 3 genera 3 genera Eucalypts Spotted • Free sepals and petals • Opposite adult leaves gums • Corymbiod conflorescences Angophora Corymbia • Fused sepals & petals • Alternate leaves Angophora and Eucalyptus photo & Eucalyptus ss diagram from Euclid

Corymbia - - Phylogram Phylogram Corymbia Angophora Spotted Gums Fundoria Apeteria torelliana Rufaria Politaria Cadagaria Ochraria Blakearia Morphometric study Hill and Johnson 1995

Spotted gum species complex Spotted gum species complex citriodora variegata henryi maculata

Corymbia torelliana Corymbia torelliana •Section (Cadagaria) • Nth Qld Rainforest margin tree •Planted widely as an ornamental & shade tree • Hybridises naturally with citriodora in NQ •Spontaneously hybrids with spotted gums in plantings in SEQ •Torelliana hybrid – Emerging taxa for plantations

This study – – Structure analysis Structure analysis This study ► Structure software ► Structure software – – (Pritchard et al 2000) (Pritchard et al 2000) ► Bayesian modelling & MCMC methods Bayesian modelling & MCMC methods ► ► ► Model optimises a likelihood parameter by max. LE and Model optimises a likelihood parameter by max. LE and HWE within populations by introducing structure HWE within populations by introducing structure ► No predefined groupings No predefined groupings ► ► ► Test models where Population # (K) = 1 to 10 and 10 Test models where Population # (K) = 1 to 10 and 10 replicates at each K value replicates at each K value ► Plot Delta K ► Plot Delta K – – change in log probability of data vs K and change in log probability of data vs K and look for peak ( look for peak (Evanno Evanno et al 2005) et al 2005) ► ► Hierarchical analysis Hierarchical analysis - - peeling off of populations till no peeling off of populations till no further structure detected – – model detects the strongest model detects the strongest further structure detected structure first structure first
