Urban biotopes: the typical and unique habitats of city environments and their natural analogues
(Wickliffe Press, 2000)
This paper reports on an investigation of Christchurch biotopes, based on sampling uniform areas where species were recorded by composition, abundance, and features of the physical environment. Seven biotopes were identified ...
Biodiversity of the urban environment: the importance of indigenous species and the role urban environments can play in their preservation
(Wickliffe Press, 2000)
Biodiversity is the sum total of genetic, species, and ecosystem variation. This paper discusses the importance of biodiversity in relation to the global, regional and urban environments. With better planning and management, ...
Coexistence, dynamics and disturbance history of mixed conifer, beech, and hardwood forest, north Westland
(Lincoln University, 2000)
Mixed conifer, beech and hardwood forests are relatively common in Aotearoa/New
Zealand, but are not well studied. This thesis investigates the coexistence, regeneration
dynamics and disturbance history of a mixed species ...
Systematic relationships of New Zealand endemic Brassicaceae inferred from nrDNA ITS sequence data
(American Society of Plant Taxonomists, 2000-01)
Phylogenetic relationships of New Zealand species of Brassicaceae belonging to the South Island endemic Ischnocarpus, Iti, Notothlaspi, and Pachycladon, and the indigenous Cardamine, Cheesemania, Lepidium, and Rorippa were ...
Breeding of South Island pied oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus finschi) on farm land in mid-Canterbury, New Zealand
(Ornithological Society of New Zealand, 2000-06)
Breeding of South Island pied oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus finschi) on farmland in mid-Canterbury was studied from 1987 to 1997. Each year birds returned to breeding territories from early June; females arrived ...
Endemic biodiversity, natural enemies, and the future of biological control
(Montana State University, 2000)
In recent public comment on proposed introductions for biological control of weeds
in New Zealand, the issues of dilution of endemic biodiversity and homogenization of the fauna, have been raised as a reason for not ...
To study stomatal conductance at different leaf positions and xylem flow rate at different depths in the apple branch
(Capricorn Publications, 2000)
The influence of leaf position (age) on the shoot on stomatal conductance and depth on xylem flow rate in apples (Malus pumila) MM106 cv. Gala branches were studied at Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand. Leaf ...
Examination of Trichoderma phylogenies derived from ribosomal DNA sequence data
(Cambridge University Press, 2000-01)
Ribosomal DNA sequences were assessed for their usefulness in distinguishing among Trichoderma isolates and for their robustness in resolving their phylogenetic relationships. DNA sequences from the D2 region of the 28S ...
Assessment of the extent of alpine areas being utilised as possum habitat in Westland
(Lincoln University. Soil, Plant and Ecological Sciences Division., 2000-05)
Biological control of Sclerotina diseases of vegetables
(Lincoln University, 2000)
Sixty three fungal isolates, obtained from the local region (Canterbury, New Zealand), were tested for their ability to inhibit mycelial growth and sclerotial production of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum using a cabbage petiole ...
