Buried Alive or Washed Away The Challenging Life of Mangroves in the Mekong Delta
(The Oceanography Society, 2017)Mangroves colonize tropical shorelines, protecting coastal communities and providing valuable ecosystem services. Mangroves associated with deltas cope with a very dynamic environment characterized by strong gradients in ... -
Crystal structure of an inferred ancestral bacterial pyruvate decarboxylase
(International Union of Crystallography, 2018)Pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC; EC 4.1.1.1) is a key enzyme in homofermentative metabolism where ethanol is the major product. PDCs are thiamine pyrophosphate- and Mg2+ ion-dependent enzymes that catalyse the non-oxidative ... -
Early Jurassic palaeoenvironments in the Surat Basin, Australia - marine incursion into eastern Gondwana
(Wiley, 2019)Interpretations of palaeodepositional environments are important for reconstructing Earth history. Only a few maps showing the Jurassic depositional environments in eastern Australia currently exist. Consequently, a detailed ... -
Macroclimate and topography interact to influence the abundance of divaricate plants in New Zealand
(Frontiers Media SA, 2020)The abundance of the divaricate growth form in New Zealand has been interpreted as either (a) the response of an isolated flora to cool, dry, Plio-Pleistocene climates; or (b) a defense against large browsing birds (moa) ... -
Microbial biogeography of 925 geothermal springs in New Zealand
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)Geothermal springs are model ecosystems to investigate microbial biogeography as they represent discrete, relatively homogenous habitats, are distributed across multiple geographical scales, span broad geochemical gradients, ... -
Prediction: coveted, yet forsaken? Introducing a cross-validated predictive ability test in partial least squares path modeling
(Wiley, 2020)Management researchers often develop theories and policies that are forward‐looking. The prospective outlook of predictive modeling, where a model predicts unseen or new data, can complement the retrospective nature of ... -
Variation in mandible shape and body size of house mice Mus musculus in five separate New Zealand forest habitats
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)This study investigates variation in house mouse Mus musculus body size and mandible shape across New Zealand, using geometric morphometrics and biomechanical advantage analyses. The Mus phylogroups currently known in New ...
