Development and field assessment of a quantitative PCR for the detection and enumeration of the noxious bloom-former Anabaena planktonica
(American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, 2007)Anabaena planktonica is a harmful, bloom-forming freshwater cyanobacterium, which has arrived recently in New Zealand. In the short time since its incursion (<10 yr), A. planktonica has spread rapidly throughout lakes in ... -
Development of a non-lethal biopsy technique for estimating total tetrodotoxin concentrations in the grey side-gilled sea slug Pleurobranchaea maculata
(Elsevier, 2013)High concentrations of tetrodotoxin (TTX) have been detected in some New Zealand populations of Pleurobranchaea maculata (grey side-gilled sea slug). Within toxic populations there is significant variability in TTX ... -
Development of a real-time PCR assay for the detection of the invasive clam, Corbula amurensis, in environmental samples
(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 ... -
Development of habitat suitability criteria and in-stream habitat assessment for the benthic cyanobacteria phormidium
(Wiley, 2013)Global demand for freshwater has led to unprecedented levels of water abstraction from riverine systems. This has resulted in large alterations in natural river flows. The deleterious impacts of reduced flows on fish and ... -
Distribution of tetrodotoxin in the New Zealand clam, Paphies australis, established using immunohistochemistry and liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry
(MDPI, 2018)Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is one of the most potent neurotoxins known. It was originally thought to only occur in puffer fish but has now been identified in twelve different classes of freshwater and marine organisms, including ...
