Why are some species invasive? : determining the importance of species traits across three invasion stages and enemy release of southern African native plants in New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2009)
There are many factors that have been proposed to contribute to plant invasiveness in nonnative
ecosystems. Traits of invading species are one of them. It has been proposed that
successful species at a certain invasion ...
Effect of a Trichoderma bio-inoculant on ectomycorrhizal colonisation of Pinus radiata seedlings
(Lincoln University, 2010)
Ectomycorrhizal colonisation potential of Pinus radiata seedlings inoculated with the commercially available Trichoderma species bio-inoculant, Arbor-Guard™, was investigated in a commercial containerised nursery setting ...
Molecular systematics and colour variation of Carpophilus species (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) of the South Pacific
(Lincoln University, 2009)
The sap beetle genus Carpophilus Stephens (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) is a large genus consisting of over 200 species and are found worldwide. Several species are important pests of crops and stored products, and are frequently ...
The comparative biology of Fluttering shearwater and Hutton's shearwater and their relationship to other shearwater species
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
The discovery and taxonomic history of fluttering shearwater (Puffinus gavia (Forster) and Hutton's shearwater (Puffinus huttoni Mathews) are reviewed. Taxonomic theory, where appropriate to this thesis, is discussed. The ...
The ovine lens cytoskeleton
(Lincoln University, 2007)
The lens of the eye is a vital tissue in the visual system, responsible for the collection and focusing of light on to the retina. Comprised of epithelial cells at differing stages of differentiation, the transparency of ...
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 ...
Foraging strategies of Southern Royal Albatrosses, Diomedea epomophora, Campbell Island during incubation
(Lincoln University, 2004)
Among the species of Diomedea albatrosses, diverse foraging strategies during
breeding have been described, indicating species differences in foraging ecology and
behaviour. Foraging strategies of Southern Royal Albatrosses, ...
Insects associated with the lupin (Lupinus angustifolius) cultivars Fest and Uniharvest
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1980)
The insect fauna of two Lupinus angustifolius
cultivars (Fest and Uniharvest) was surveyed between
October, 1978 and March, 1979. The main sampling
methods were sweepnetting, use of the D-Vac, and pod removal. Glasshouse ...
Breeding success of adult female kakapo (Strigops habroptilus) on Codfish Island (Whenua Hou) : correlations with foraging home ranges and habitat selection
(Lincoln University, 2007)
Kakapo (Strigops habroptilus) are a flightless, nocturnal parrot endemic to New Zealand. Thought to be extinct within their natural range, kakapo are currently listed as nationally critical. The current population of 86 ...
Does forage enrichment promote increased activity in captive capuchin monkeys (Cebus apella)?
(Lincoln University, 2008)
In their native habitat of Central and South America, capuchin monkeys (Cebus) spend 45% to 55% of their day foraging and a further 20% travelling. Once these monkeys are introduced into captive environments their diets ...
