Biotic interactions are an unexpected yet critical control on the complexity of an abiotically driven polar ecosystem.
(2019)Abiotic and biotic factors control ecosystem biodiversity, but their relative contributions remain unclear. The ultraoligotrophic ecosystem of the Antarctic Dry Valleys, a simple yet highly heterogeneous ecosystem, is a ... -
Comparing plasma and faecal measures of steroid hormones in Adelie penguins Pygoscelis adeliae
(Springer, 2010)Physiological measurements of both stress and sex hormones are often used to estimate the consequences of natural or human-induced change in ecological studies of various animals. Different methods of hormone measurement ... -
Comparison of the efficiency of three methods of isolating fish DNA from environmental samples
(Environmental Research Institute, Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Waikato, 2014)The Lake Ecosystem Restoration New Zealand (LERNZ) project was initiated to restore indigenous biodiversity in lakes in part by developing new pest fish management and control technologies. One objective of the management ... -
Development and validation of hydrolysis assays for seven species of exotic fish
(Environmental Research Institute, The University of Waikato., 2014)Determining the distribution and presence of exotic taxa are significant challenges for eradication efforts and for restoration ecology. One method is detect the presence of introduced species that has shown promise is the ... -
Economical genotyping of little blue penguin (Eudyptula minor) clades from feather-based DNA
(New Zealand Ecological Society., 2013)Determination of clade membership is a crucial requirement for many research questions addressing phylogeography, population structure, mating patterns, speciation, and hybridisation. The little blue penguin (Eudyptula ...

The effects of common carp on zooplankton communities using morphological and molecular techniques
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Understanding the factors causing a decline of water quality is important to ecologists, but particularly challenging given the complexity of natural systems. New Zealand’s freshwater ecosystems are under threat from ... -
The parasite release hypothesis and the success of invasive fish in New Zealand
(University of Waikato, 2012)Non-indigenous species are commonly released from their native enemies, including parasites, when they are introduced into new geographical areas. This has been referred to as the enemy release hypothesis and more strictly ...
