The response of soil microbial communities to the infection of kauri (Agathis australis) seedlings with Phytophthora agathidicida
(Wiley, 2021-06-27)
New Zealand's ancient kauri (Agathis australis) forests are under threat from the spread of dieback disease, caused by the soil-borne pathogen Phytophthora agathidicida. Characterizing the response of the soil microbiota ...
Soil microbial diversity in adjacent forest systems – contrasting native, old growth kauri (Agathis australis) forest with exotic pine (Pinus radiata) plantation forest
(Oxford University Press (OUP) on behalf of Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS), 2020-05)
Globally, the conversion of primary forests to plantations and agricultural landscapes is a common land use change. Kauri (Agathis australis) is one of the most heavily impacted indigenous tree species of New Zealand with ...
Soil microbial community restructuring and functional changes in ancient kauri (Agathis australis) forests impacted by the invasive pathogen Phytophthora agathidicida
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
New Zealand's culturally iconic, ancient kauri (Agathis australis) forests are threatened with extinction as a result of dieback caused by an invasive and highly virulent soil-borne pathogen (Phytophthora agathidicida). ...
Fungal species associated with three phytophagous insects of gorse
Investigated the diversity of fungi on the surfaces of three phytophagous insect species of gorse by culturing and culture indepdendent techniques.
Selecting potential insect species to vector Fusarium tumidum spores for gorse control
The study aimed to select an insect species with the greatest potential to vector F. tumidum spores for biological control of gorse.
Identification of Burkholderia and Penicillium isolates from kauri (Agathis australis) soils that inhibit the mycelial growth of Phytophthora agathidicida
(New Zealand Plant Protection Society, 2021-02-07)
Phytophthora agathidicida is a highly virulent pathogen of kauri (Agathis australis) and the causal agent of dieback disease in New Zealand’s kauri forests. This study aimed to identify microbial isolates isolated from ...
Indigenous biosecurity: Māori responses to kauri dieback and myrtle rust in Aotearoa New Zealand
(Palgrave-Macmillian, 2018-05-25)
It is widely acknowledged that Indigenous peoples have traditional knowledge relevant to modern environmental management. By asserting roles within associated science and policy networks, such Indigenous Knowledge (IK) can ...

(Wiley on behalf of Australian Entomological Society, 2008-11)
Fungi and bacteria on the external surfaces of four gorse-associated insect species: gorse seed weevil Apion ulicis Förster (Coleoptera: Apionidae), light brown apple moth Epiphyas postvittana Walker (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), ...
How an Indigenous community responded to the incursion and spread of myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii) that threatens culturally significant plant species – a case study from New Zealand
(CSIRO, 2019)
The incursion of the myrtle rust disease (Austropuccinia psidii) was officially confirmed on 3 May 2017 at a plant nursery located in Kerikeri, North Island, New Zealand. Since then the presence of myrtle rust has now been ...
