Elucidating the origin and transmission of tetrodotoxin in New Zealand bivalves
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin that acts by selectively targeting sodium channels, blocking propagation of action potentials and causing paralysis. It has been responsible for countless human intoxications and ... -
Nutrient and sediment dynamics in two coastal plain rivers in the Bay of Plenty
(The University of Waikato, 2022)A large amount of literature concerns eutrophication development in lakes, reservoirs, or estuaries. In contrast, literature concerning to the development of eutrophication in flowing waters is more scarce and, in New ... -
Relationships between cyanobacteria and water colour in Central North Island lakes of contrasting trophic status
(The University of Waikato, 2022)Nutrient enrichment of lakes and rising global temperatures promote the proliferation of cyanobacteria. Cyanobacterial blooms are becoming more widespread and increasing in frequency, size and duration, causing a cascade ... -
Remote sensing of dynamics and aboveground biomass of seagrass in Tauranga Harbor (Bay of Plenty), New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Seagrasses are angiosperm plants that are completely adapted to life in seawater. They are distributed widely across the climatic regions, ranging from the tropics to temperate regions, in both inter-tidal and sub-tidal ... -
Resilience of microbial mats in Antarctic ponds to climate-relevant environmental disturbance
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Continental Antarctica is a cold desert, where the hydrologic system is dependent on melting of snow and ice. In a warming climate it is projected that there will be a significant change in precipitation, evaporation, cloud ... -
Sediment-effects on seagrass Zostera muelleri in New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Seagrasses are ecosystem engineers that provide important ecological functions and societal economic values. Examples of the services that seagrasses provide are: sediment and coastal stability; maintenance of water quality; ... -
Spatial and temporal variation of coastal Ross Sea macrozoobenthos
(The University of Waikato, 2020)Antarctic shallow-water communities are projected to undergo considerable changes in the coming decades due to the impacts of climate change on the prevailing environmental conditions. A clear understanding of these ...
