Rodent control and island conservation
(CAB International, 2015)
Most rodent species are highly adapted, selected, boom-or-bust strategists. Such pre-adaptation to invasiveness allows them quickly to take advantage of abundant new resources and is why rodents are among the most successful ...
Removal of COD and ammonia-nitrogen by sawdust/bentonite augmented SBR process
(MDPI, 2018-08-06)
Water pollutants removal by biomass adsorbent has been considered innovative and cost effective, thus commendable for application in industrial applications. However, certain important aspects have been overlooked by ...
An evaluation of systematic versus strategically-placed camera traps for monitoring feral cats in New Zealand
(MDPI, 2019-09-16)
We deploy camera traps to monitor feral cat (Felis catus) populations at two pastoral sites in Hawke’s Bay, North Island, New Zealand. At Site 1, cameras are deployed at pre-determined GPS points on a 500-m grid, and at ...
Enhancing the adsorption of lead (II) by bentonite enriched with pH-adjusted meranti sawdust
(MDPI, 2018-12)
In recent years, the need for a safe and modern composite barrier for the prevention of groundwater contamination and the provision of geo-environmental protection has been studied together with the need of designing a ...

Water pollutant removal by biomass adsorbent has been considered innovative and cost-effective, and thus commendable for application in industry. However, certain important aspects have been overlooked by researchers, ...
From ‘clean and green’ to ‘brown and down’: A synthesis of historical changes to biodiversity and marine ecosystems in the Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand
(Elsevier, 2020-12-01)
Ecosystem-based management (EBM) is a potential antidote to the alleviation of multiple stressors in highly-valued and contested marine environments. An understanding of the magnitude and drivers of past ecosystem changes ...
A close examination of the role and needed expertise of brokers in bridging and building science policy boundaries in environmental decision making
(Springer Nature, 2020-04-22)
Knowledge brokers are often portrayed as neutral intermediaries that act as a necessary conduit between the spheres of science and policy. Conceived largely as a task in packaging, brokers are expected to link knowledge ...
Policy and practice certainty for effective uptake of diffuse pollution practices in a light-touch regulated country
(Springer, 2020-02)
Although the link between agriculture and diffuse water pollution has been understood for decades, there is still a need to implement effective measures to address this issue. In countries with light-touch regulation, such ...
