Measuring diversity and abundance of invertebrates in Ahuriri, Coopers Knob and Orongomai Reserves in the Port Hills, Canterbury

Bowie Mike, H.; Vink Cor, J. (Lincoln University. Bio-Protection & Ecology Division, 2006-06)
The Port Hills Rangers (Greenspace Unit, Christchurch City Council) in conjunction with Environment Canterbury are ecologically restoring several reserves on the Port Hills of Canterbury. Vegetation, birds and invertebrates are being monitored to collect ...
Burrow occupancy and related behaviour of broad-billed prions Pachyptila vittata on South East (Rangatira) Island, Chatham Islands, New Zealand

Was, N. W.; Wilson Kerry Jayne (Lincoln University. Ecology and Entomology Group, 1998-07)
Burrow competition is occurring between broad-billed prions (Pachyptila vittata) and other small burrowing seabirds on South East (Rangatira) Island, Chatham Islands, New Zealand. This competition has a negative impact on the endangered Chatham petrel (Pt ...
Captive breeding of Wellington speargrass weevil

Emberson Rowan, M.; Scott, R. R.; Pawson Stephen, M. (Lincoln University. Soil, Plant & Ecological Sciences Division, 2004-06)
This project was initiated in May 1999 with the aim of determining optimum rearing conditions to breed Lyperobius huttoni in captivity. The programme has been relatively unsuccessful with only a single individual reared in captivity during 2001. However, ...
Extreme longevity of the common gecko (Hoplodactylus maculatus) on Motunau Island, Canterbury, New Zealand

Bannock, C. A.; Whitaker, A. H.; Hickling, G. J. (New Zealand Ecological Society, 1999)
The longevity of common geckos (Hoplodactylus maculatus) on predator-free Motunau Island, North Canterbury, was investigated. Sixteen of 133 individuals marked between 1967-75 were re-captured in the summer of 1996/97. A growth curve was generated to esti ...
Measuring the diversity and abundance of carabids and spiders of ten Port Hills reserves in Canterbury

Bowie Mike, H. (Lincoln University. Bio-Protection & Ecology Division, 2008-05)
The Regional Parks’ Port Hills Rangers (Greenspace Unit, Christchurch City Council) in conjunction with Environment Canterbury are ecologically restoring several reserves on the Port Hills of Canterbury. Flora and fauna (birds and invertebrates) are being ...
Measuring ecosystem recovery: diversity and abundance of invertebrates in ten Port Hills reserves, Canterbury

Bowie Mike, H.; Sirvid Phil, J. (Lincoln University. Bio-Protection & Ecology Division, 2005-06)
Weta motels were used to non-destructively sample cavity-dwelling species to provide a snapshot of forest diversity and health. Another non-destructive sampling method uses wooden discs as facsimiles for natural fallen logs to sample large soil-dwelling i ...
Tree species richness and turnover throughout New Zealand forests

Bellingham, P. J.; Stewart, Glenn H.; Allen, R. B. (Opulus Press, 1999-12)
Patterns of mortality, recruitment, and forest turnover were investigated using permanent plot data from temperate forests in 14 localities throughout New Zealand. Tree mortality and recruitment rates were calculated from tagged trees ≥ 10 cm diameter at ...
Earthquake impacts in old-growth Nothofagus forests in New Zealand

Vittoz, P.; Stewart, Glenn H.; Duncan, Richard P. (Opulus Press, 2001-06)
Six stands located on different land forms in mixed old-growth Nothofagus forests in the Matiri Valley (northwest of South Island, New Zealand) were sampled to examine the effects of two recent large earthquakes on tree establishment and tree-ring growth, ...
Tree regeneration in a New Zealand rain forest influenced by disturbance and drainage interactions

Urlich, S.; Stewart, Glenn H.; Duncan, Richard P.; Almond, Peter C. (Opulus Press, 2005-08)
Question: Does canopy tree regeneration response to different large disturbances vary with soil drainage? Location: Old-growth conifer (Dacrydium and Dacrycarpus), angiosperm (Nothofagus and Weinmannia) rain forest, Mount Harata, South Island, New Zealand ...
Small-scale species richness in forest canopy gaps: the role of niche limitation versus the size of the species pool

Duncan, Richard P.; Buckley, Hannah L.; Urlich, S.; Stewart, Glenn H.; Geritzlehner, J. (Opulus Press, 1998-06)
The form of the relationship between local species richness and the number of species in the surrounding region can be used as a test between competing theories of community structure. For 32 canopy gaps in New Zealand Nothofagus forest, we examined the r ...
