• Breeding variation in female kakapo (Strigops habroptilus) on Codfish Island in a year of low food supply 

  Whitehead, J. K.; Case, Bradley S.; Wilson, Kerry-Jayne; Molles, Laura (New Zealand Ecological Society, 2011)

  We investigated why some mature females of New Zealand's critically endangered parrot, the kakapo (Strigops habroptilus), did not attempt to breed during the 2005 breeding season on Codfish Island. At a population level, ...
• 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 ...

• Faeces of generalist predators as 'biodiversity capsules': A new tool for biodiversity assessment in remote and inaccessible habitats 

  Boyer, S.; Cruickshank, R. H.; Wratten, S. D. (Elsevier, 2015-06)

  Molecular methods are increasingly used to identify prey DNA in predators' faeces to describe diet composition. However, such analysis can reveal much more ecological information. If faeces are regarded as 'biodiversity ...
