  • Beetling: A method for capturing trapdoor spiders (Idiopidae) using tethered beetles 
    Smith, V. R.; Vink, C. J.; Cruickshank, Robert H.; Paterson, Adrian M. (British Arachnological Society, 2015)
    © 2015, British Arachnological Society. All Rights Reserved.Collecting trapdoor spiders (Idiopidae) for research is diffcult due to their deep, convoluted burrows and almost entirely fossorial life history. Digging idiopids ...
  • A bioassay to compare the disease suppressive capacity of pasture soils 
    Dignam, B. E. A.; O'Callaghan, M.; Condron, Leo M.; Raaijmakers, J. M.; Kowalchuk, G. A.; Wakelin, S. A. (New Zealand Plant Protection Society (Inc.), 2015)
    © 2015 New Zealand Plant Protection Society (Inc.). Dynamic pathogen complexes can develop under pastures, thereby substantially reducing potential productivity. Suppression of such pathogen complexes is therefore of great ...
  • Inner plant space - bacterial endophytes of Leptospermum scoparium (mānuka) 
    Wicaksono, Wisnu Adi (Lincoln University, 2016-11-30)
    Leptospermum scoparium or mānuka is a New Zealand native medicinal plant that produces an essential oil with antimicrobial properties. In other plants endophytic bacteria have key roles in plant growth, health and metabolite ...
  • Plant Modelling Framework: software for building and running crop models on the APSIM platform 
    Brown, H. E.; Huth, N. I.; Holzworth, D. P.; Teixeira, E. I.; Zyskowski, R. F.; Hargreaves, J. N. G.; Moot, Derrick J. (Elsevier B.V., 2014-12)
    The Plant Modelling Framework (PMF) is a software framework for creating models that represent the plant components of farm system models in the agricultural production system simulator (APSIM). It is the next step in the ...
  • Integration of molecular and physiological models to explain time of anthesis in wheat 
    Brown, H. E.; Jamieson, P. D.; Brooking, I. R.; Moot, Derrick J.; Huth, N. I. (Oxford University Press (OUP) on behalf of the Annals of Botany Company, 2013-12)
    Background and Aims - A model to predict anthesis time of a wheat plant from environmental and genetic information requires integration of current concepts in physiological and molecular biology. This paper describes the ...
