“…2), indicating a potential source for this invasion. Saccostrea cucullata was described from India, and currently is understood to be indigenous to rocky shores throughout the IndoPacific (Lam and Morton 2006) and along the south and east coasts of Africa (Haupt et al 2010). However, COI and 16S sequences have demonstrated that S. "cucullata" represents a cryptic species complex comprising as many as seven species, often with broadly overlapping geographic distributions (Lam and Morton 2006;Sekino and Yamashita 2013).…”

“…Molecular markers have been successfully used to differentiate members within the genus Crassostrea (e.g., Lam and Morton 2003;Reece et al 2008;Cordes et al 2008;Sekino and Yamashita 2013) and the genus Saccostrea (e.g., Lam and Morton 2006;Sekino and Yamashita 2013), and between other closely related oyster genera (e.g., Klinbunga et al 2005;Liu et al 2011), as well as aiding in resolving the distributions of other bivalve species. For example, sequence data confirmed the Trans-Atlantic geographic ranges of C. rhizophorae and C. gasar (Lapégue et al 2002), as well as the identities and geographic ranges of multiple Crassostrea species along the Brazilian coast (de Melo et al 2010).…”

“…Oysters are thus notorious for profound nomenclatorial confusion regarding species identities (Lam and Morton, 2004). Phylogenetic analyses using partial mitochondrial 16S DNA sequences of approximately 513 base pairs of Saccostrea populations in Australia recognized at least three different species (Lam and Morton, 2006). NA barcode sequence technique was used for oyster species identification and taxonomy (Cordes et al, 2005;Lam and Morton, 2006;Wang and Guo, 2008;de Melo et al, 2010;Liu et al, 2011).…”

This technique uses a set of primers to amplify a 648-base pair (bp) region of the mitochondrial cytochrome-c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene to ensure the identification of a wide range of biological specimens rapidly and accurately.…”

Oysters are commonly found on rocky shores along the Dhofar coast of Oman, but the species composition has not yet been studied. In an attempt to determine the species of these oysters, samples from four sites (Mirbat, Sadah, Hadbin, and Hasik) were collected and analyzed using DNA sequences that were compared with the database of GenBank/National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and Barcoding of Life Data Systems (BOLD). BLAST results of DNA sequences showed that there were no existing sequences available on NCBI/GenBank and BOLD. The DNA barcode sequences generated in this study can be employed as standards for this species and may be of use in taxonomic studies. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the oysters from Oman exhibit homology with Saccostrea species cucullata or mordax.

“…Buroker et al 1979;Healy 2011;Lam and Morton 2005;Thomson 1954). Oysters live attached to hard objects and are usually gregarious and often densely packed, leading to frequent morphological variability among individuals -what are described as separate species may in fact simply be ecophenotypical variations (Carpenter and Niem 1998:224).…”

Archaeological expressions of Holocene cultural and environmental change in coastal Southeast Queensland

This thesis is concerned with the relationship between Holocene environmental changes and human behaviour in coastal southeast Queensland. The study region covers an area stretching from Fraser Island in the north to the border of northern New South Wales in the south, and possesses the best documented and intensively scrutinised coastal archaeological record in Australia. The archaeology of the area was a major focus from the late 1970s when the Moreton Regional Archaeological Project, a long-term multi-stage regional project, was established to coordinate archaeological investigations in southeast Queensland. The Cooloola Region Archaeological Project was established in the mid-1980s to explore the archaeology north of the Noosa River. These initial studies provided the basis for a regional chronology, as well as models of settlement and subsistence based on the exploitation of the area's rich marine resources.In the time since the original work was conducted the research foci for coastal archaeology, both in Australia and internationally, have moved toward more complex issues such as assessing the impact of humans on marine ecosystems, the identification of patterns in resource exploitation strategies, and the use of molluscs as proxy evidence in local and regional environmental reconstructions.Additionally, regionally-specific models of Holocene environmental change have been developed, in line with greater emphasis being placed on the ecology and biology of the constituent species in middens in addressing questions of spatial and chronological variations in site patterning.In view of these developments, midden deposits from five sites from differing locations in southeast Queensland were re-analysed, and a literature review of two further sites was also undertaken, with the aim of assessing human behavioural variability during the mid to late Holocene through the Publications during candidature No publications Publications included in this thesis No publications included. vi Contributions by others to the thesisNo contributions by others.

The project has taken a long time to come to fruition, delayed by a combination of protracted and ultimately fruitless negotiations with stakeholders, illness, and bereavement. There are many people to thank for helping me to eventually get over the line. Chris was an undergraduate student in one of the University of Queensland Field Archaeology viii classes on Bribie Island in the early 1990s. Even then his knowledge of lithics was scary. Chris kindly stepped in as my principal advisor when Pat moved to Sydney. I must confess some disappointment that the artefact assemblages in my study were not more exciting for him but, as he does most things, he has calmly taken it in his stride.
