Above the treeline: a nature guide to alpine New Zealand [Book review]
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)This article reviews the book "Above the treeline: a nature guide to alpine New Zealand", by Sir Alan F. Mark (with contributors). -
Are current ecological restoration practices capturing natural levels of genetic diversity? A New Zealand case study using AFLP and ISSR data from mahoe (Melicytus ramiflorus)
(New Zealand Ecological Society, 2015-06)Sourcing plant species of local provenance (eco-sourcing) has become standard practice in plant community restoration projects. Along with established ecological restoration practices, knowledge of genetic variation in ... -
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
(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 ... -
Biological flora of New Zealand 13. Pittosporum cornifolium, tāwhiri karo, cornel-leaved pittosporum
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2012)A comprehensive review of the morphology, anatomy, taxonomy, chemistry and ecology of the endemic New Zealand facultative shrub epiphyte Pittosporum cornifolium (Pittosporaceae) is presented. Strong habitat specificity ... -
Diet selectivity in a terrestrial forest invertebrate, the Auckland tree wētā, across three habitat zones.
(Wiley, 2018)Insects are important but overlooked components of forest ecosystems of New Zealand. For many invertebrate species, information on foraging patterns and trophic relationships is lacking. We examined diet composition and ...

Phylogenetic relationships of the New Zealand Pittosporum (Pittosporaceae) inferred from ITS sequences of rDNA
(The University of Waikato, 2001)Sequence data from the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA was collected from almost all of the New Zealand Pittosporum species, as well as representatives from other areas and- other genera ... -
Restiad bog development and nutrient dynamics of the dominant species
(The University of Waikato, 2005)Vegetation and peat in lowland restiad (dominated by Restionaceae) raised bogs on North Island (Waikato region) and Chatham Island, New Zealand, were sampled to investigate the main environmental controls of pattern and ... -
A study on molecular systematics of the Antarctic Bryum species and the development of microsatellite DNA markers in Bryum argenteum Hedw.
(The University of Waikato, 2000)The "silver" species Bryum subrotundifolium Jaeg. (Bryaceae) in Antarctica has undergone numerous taxonomic revisions. This research used the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) to ... -
Development of microsatellite markers for Antarctic Bryum Hedw. species
(The University of Waikato, 2002)The objective of this thesis was to isolate microsatellite markers using the Glenn (2001) method from the species Bryum argenteum so as to be able to study these markers in Antarctic populations of Bryum species. Microsatellite ... -
Physiological constraints on the latitudinal distribution of the mangrove Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh. subsp. australasica (Walp.) J. Everett in New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2006)New Zealand's only mangrove species, Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh. subsp. australasica (Walp) Everett (Avicenniaceae), has a clearly defined southern natural limit around latitude 38° S. Historically, this has been ...
