The taxonomy and systematics of a group of New Zealand Lycosidae (Araneae) (wolf spiders)
(Lincoln University, 1996)
The taxonomy and systematics of a group of spiders in the family Lycosidae, informally known as the "hilaris group", that are often numerically dominant ground dwelling predators in agroecosystems, has been studied. Ten ...
A dendroclimatic study of Libocedrus bidwillii hook. F. (Kaikawaka)
(Lincoln University, 1995)
This thesis demonstrates some of the potential of Libocedrus bidwillii Hook. f. (Kaikawaka) for dendroclimatological research by developing tree-ring chronologies and then using these chronologies to reconstruct ...
Characterization of regional examples of New Zealand Pinot noir by means of sensory and chemical analysis
(Lincoln University, 2011)
There are four main Pinot noir wine regions in New Zealand: Central Otago, Marlborough, Martinborough and Waipara. These regions specialize in this variety as the soil, climate and other conditions are well suited to this ...
Parasitic Hymenoptera as biocontrol agents against Calliphoridae causing ovine myiasis (flystrike) in New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2000)
Braconid and encyrtid species of Hymenoptera that parasitise larval Diptera have been identified as having potential for use as biocontrol agents in pest management systems that control flystrike in New Zealand.
Four ...
Distribution, habitat associations, and activity patterns of two endemic Banks Peninsula carabid beetles, Mecodema howitti and Megadromus guerinii
(Lincoln University, 2000)
The distribution and ecology of the potentially threatened forest carabid Mecodema howitti Castelnau and the sympatric but more common Megadromus guerinii (Chaudoir) were studied on Banks Peninsula, Canterbury, New Zealand. ...
A phylogenetic revision of the New Zealand endemic ground beetle genus Oregus Putzeys 1868 (Carabidae : Broscini)
(Lincoln University, 2002)
The genus Oregus is an endemic broscine ground beetle restricted in distribution to the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand. The taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships within the genus Oregus Putzeys and the ...
Dracophyllum scrub expansion on subantarctic Campbell Island, New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2002)
Campbell Island lies c. 600 km to the south of New Zealand in the Southern Pacific Ocean and is covered mostly by Dracophyllum scrub, tussock-grassland, and upland tundra associations. European contact with the island began ...
Rumen function and grazing behavior of early-lactation dairy cows supplemented with fodder beet
(Elsevier Inc. and Fass Inc. on behalf of the American Dairy Science Association®, 2021-07-01)
Fodder beet (FB) is a source of readily fermentable carbohydrate that can mitigate early spring herbage deficits and correct the negative energy balance experienced during early lactation in pastoral dairy systems of New ...
A bioavailable strontium (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) isoscape for Aotearoa New Zealand: Implications for food forensics and biosecurity
(Public Library of Science, 2022-03-16)
As people, animals and materials are transported across increasingly large distances in a globalized world, threats to our biosecurity and food security are rising. Aotearoa New Zealand is an island nation with many endemic ...
Flame temperatures saturate with increasing dead material in Ulex europaeus, but flame duration, fuel consumption and overall flammability continue to increase
(MDPI, 2019-03)
A key determinant of wildfire behaviour is the flammability of constituent plants. One plant trait that influences flammability is the retention of dead biomass, as the low moisture content of dead material means less ...
