• The effect of astaxanthin-rich microalgae “Haematococcus pluvialis” and wholemeal flours incorporation in improving the physical and functional properties of cookies 

  Hossain, A. K. M. M.; Brennan, Margaret A.; Mason, Susan L.; Guo, Xinbo; Zeng, X. A.; Brennan, Charles S. (MDPI, 2017-08)

  Marine-based food supplements can improve human nutrition. In an effort to modulate glycaemic response and enhance nutritional aspects, marine-derived algal food rich in astaxanthin was used in the formulation of a model ...
• Nitrification inhibition by common plants in New Zealand’s agricultural landscapes 

  Downward, Rachel Lilian (Lincoln University, 2013)

  Nitrification, the production of nitrate by the bacterial oxidation of ammonium, is an important economic and environmental issue in New Zealand. Nitrification can lead to high levels of fertiliser nitrogen loss from soil ...
• Causes of elevated coumestrol in lucerne and mitigation of the subsequent risk to ewe reproductive performance 

  Fields, Rachel Lilian (Lincoln University, 2017)

  Coumestrol in lucerne can reduce the ovulation rate of ewes, which lowers lambing rates. This thesis isolated the factors with potential to increase the coumestrol levels of lucerne. The management of ewes during the mating ...
• The locus for an inherited cataract in sheep maps to ovine chromosome 6 

  Wilson, Gareth R. S.; Morton, James D.; Palmer, David N.; McEwan, J. C.; Gately, Karl; Anderson, R. M.; Dodds, K. G. (Molecular Vision on behalf of Emory University, 2012-05-31)

• A comparison of horizontal versus vertical camera placement to detect feral cats and mustelids 

  Nichols, M.; Glen, A. S.; Garvey, P.; Ross, James G. (New Zealand Ecological Society, 2017-01-01)

  © New Zealand Ecological Society. Invasive predators are a threat to biodiversity in New Zealand. However, they are often difficult to monitor because of the animals’ cryptic, mobile behaviour and low densities. Camera ...
