Assessing the Diversity of New Zealand's Freshwater Copepods (Crustacea:Copepoda) using Mitochondrial DNA (COI) Sequences
(University of Waikato, 2014)The diversity of New Zealand’s freshwater copepods has been largely understudied. In order to enhance our understanding of this taxon, I used the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit one (COI) gene sequences to examine ... -
A molecular-based assessment tool for characterising New Zealand freshwater zooplankton communities
(Environmental Research Institute, Faculty of Science and Engineering, The University of Waikato, 2014)The ability to adequately assess ecosystem health is essential for informed resource management. Freshwater zooplankton respond rapidly to environmental changes in pest fish populations and nutrient loads and can therefore ... -
Skistodiaptomus pallidus (Copepoda: Diaptomidae) establishment in New Zealand natural lakes, and its effects on zooplankton community composition
(Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre (REABIC), 2014)The North American calanoid copepod Skistodiaptomus pallidus is an emerging invader globally, with non-indigenous populations recorded from constructed waters in New Zealand, Germany and Mexico since 2000. We examined the ...
