Barcoding of the cytochrome oxidase I (COI) indicates a recent introduction of Ciona savignyi into New Zealand and provides a rapid method for Ciona species discrimination

Smith, Kirsty Fiona; Thia, Joshua; Gemmill, Chrissen E.C.; Cary, S. Craig; Fidler, Andrew E. (Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre (REABIC), 2012)

Mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene sequencing (DNA barcoding) of Ciona specimens from New Zealand (NZ) led to the first record of the solitary ascidian Ciona savignyi in the Southern Hemisphere. We sought to ...
Development of a real-time PCR assay for the detection of the invasive clam, Corbula amurensis, in environmental samples

Smith, Kirsty Fiona; Wood, Susanna A.; Mountfort, Douglas O.; Cary, S. Craig (Elsevier, 2011)

The detection of invasive species soon after an incursion, when the population is confined to a small area and at a low density, maximizes the probability of successful eradication. In response a number of sensitive molecular ...
Increased Inter-Colony Fusion Rates Are Associated with Reduced COI Haplotype Diversity in an Invasive Colonial Ascidian Didemnum vexillum

Smith, Kirsty Fiona; Stefaniak, Lauren; Saito, Yasunori; Gemmill, Chrissen E.C.; Cary, S. Craig; Fidler, Andrew E. (2012)

Considerable progress in our understanding of the population genetic changes associated with biological invasions has been made over the past decade. Using selectively neutral loci, it has been established that reductions ...
Low dissolved inorganic nitrogen and increased heterocyte frequency: precursors to Anabaena planktonica blooms in a temperate, eutrophic reservoir

Wood, Susanna A.; Prentice, Matthew James; Smith, Kirsty Fiona; Hamilton, David P. (2010)

The relationship between heterocyte frequency, water temperature, nutrient concentrations and densities of Anabaena planktonica was examined in monomictic, eutrophic Lower Karori Reservoir (max. depth 21 m, area 0.034 km2), ...
Maintenance of cyanotoxin production by cryopreserved cyanobacteria in the New Zealand culture collection

Wood, Susanna A.; Rhodes, Lesley L.; Adams, Serean L.; Adamson, Janet E.; Smith, Kirsty Fiona; Smith, John F.; Tervit, H. Robin; Cary, S. Craig (2008)

A culture collection of freshwater planktonic and benthic cyanobacteria collected from sites across New Zealand has been established at the Cawthron Institute, Nelson, New Zealand. Limited resources led to uncertainty ...
