Climate warming and disturbance influences on Nothofagus treelings in North Westland, New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2001)
Globally, there is a great deal of concern over the impact of climate warming and other associated changes in climate. Treeline forests are generally thought to be highly sensitive to changes in temperature, as they occur ...
Propagule size and the relative success of exotic ungulate and bird introductions to New Zealand
(The University of Chicago Press for The American Society of Naturalists, 2001-06)
We investigated factors affecting the success of 14 species of ungulates introduced to New Zealand around 1851-1926. The 11 successful species had a shorter maximum life span and were introduced in greater numbers than the ...
Sireline variation in neonatal lamb cold tolerance
(Lincoln University, 2001)
The cost of lamb mortality caused by cold exposure has been
estimated at approximately 40 million dollars per year. This value is
probably conservative as it does not include the cost due to the
reduction in productivity ...
Teucridium parvifolium Hook.F.; cryptic, ephemeral or disappearing species?
(Canterbury Botanical Society., 2001-12)
Lack of information on threatened species often causes confusion over their degree of
rarity especially where species are widespread but sparse. Teucridium parvifolium is such a species but may be one that is more common ...
Ecology of long-tailed bats Chalinolobus tuberculatus (Forster, 1844) in the Waitakere Ranges: implications for monitoring
(Lincoln University, 2001)
The long-tailed bat (Chalinolobus tuberculatus) is a threatened species endemic to New Zealand. Historical anecdotes indicate that long-tailed bat populations have declined. However, it is unknown if all populations have ...
Web site characteristics, dispersal and species status of New Zealand's katipo spiders, Latrodectus katipo and L. atritus
(Lincoln University, 2001)
Over the last 30 years, Latrodectus katipo Powell 1870 and L. atritus Urquhart 1890 numbers have declined and these species are now absent from many dune systems where they were once common.
The cause of the decline in ...
Biological control of onion white rot using Trichoderma harzianum
(Lincoln University, 2001)
The biological control of Sclerotium cepivorum, the causal agent of onion white rot, by Trichoderma harzianum and T. virens was studied in a glasshouse trial. T. Harzianum (isolates C52 and D73) and T. virens (isolate GV4) ...
Biological control of Aphanomyces euteiches root rot of pea with spore-forming bacteria
(Lincoln University, 2001)
Spore-forming bacteria were investigated as potential biological control agents of the pea root rot fungus, Aphanomyces euteiches (Oomycete). Isolations of the bacteria were made both directly from field soils (558) and ...
Ascochyta blight resistance in lentils: Genetics and supporting techniques for breeding
(Lincoln University, 2001)
To promote breeding for Ascochyta blight in lentil, the genetics of resistance to lentil Ascochyta blight was investigated. In addition, some techniques needed to support the genetic research and breeding were developed ...
