The blowfly Chrysomya latifrons inhabits fragmented rainforests, but shows no population structure.
(Springer, 2023-03)Climate change and deforestation are causing rainforests to become increasingly fragmented, placing them at heightened risk of biodiversity loss. Invertebrates constitute the greatest proportion of this biodiversity, yet ... -
Contrasting phylogeographical patterns for springtails reflect different evolutionary histories between the Antarctic Peninsula and continental Antarctica
(Blackwell Publishing, 2009)Aim: We examined the genetic structure among populations and regions for the springtails Cryptopygus antarcticus antarcticus and Gomphiocephalus hodgsoni (Collembola) to identify potential historical refugia and subsequent ... -
Effects of sample age on data quality from targeted sequencing of museum specimens: what are we capturing in time?
(BMC, 2020-02-28)Background: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) can recover DNA data from valuable extant and extinct museum specimens. However, archived or preserved DNA is difficult to sequence because of its fragmented, damaged nature, ... -
Extreme glacial legacies: A synthesis of the antarctic springtail phylogeographic record
(MDPI, 2011)We review current phylogeographic knowledge from across the Antarctic terrestrial landscape with a focus on springtail taxa. We describe consistent patterns of high genetic diversity and structure among populations which ... -
Genetic diversity and phylogeography of New Zealand and Antarctic arthropods
(The University of Waikato, 2005)Historical climatic and geological changes and ecological factors ( e.g. population size, dispersal abilities) are conducive to shaping genetic differentiation among natural populations. This thesis examines these issues ...

How can genomic data inform biological invasions?
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Rates of biological invasions are increasing, with global trade and climate change causing significant damage to biodiversity, human well-being, primary industries, and economies around the world. However, our ability to ... -
Dispersal patterns and population connectivity of New Zealand stream insects: Integrating landscape and population genetics
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Increasing anthropogenic habitat fragmentation in riverine ecosystems, in particular the loss of natural riparian vegetation, has profound consequences for dispersal and connectivity of aquatic insects. Aquatic insects ...
