Native and Invasive : the changing fate of the spur-winged plover (Vanellus miles novaehollandiae) in New Zealand.
(2014-11)Study Aims: • Describe the pattern of spread across New Zealand • Identify possible factors associated with the spread • Relate this to the spread of invasive species Abstract from 2014 conference programme: "The ... -
The Nephrolepis Boston fern complex (including Nephrolepis exaltata [L.] Schott), Nephrolepidaceae, naturalised in New Zealand
(Unitec ePress, 2016-12-19)Nephrolepis cordifolia (ladder fern) is widely recorded as an invasive weed, and is naturalised in New Zealand. The first records of this plant being wild date from the 1970s. The presence of other native species of ... -
OPINION : Focus and performance in managing post-border biosecurity in New Zealand
(Unitec ePress, 2015-12-16)The New Zealand public, its industries and the conservation sector, are greatly concerned about the state of national biosecurity protection, awareness and system performance – and rightly so. Scarcely a day goes by without ... -
Perceptions and impacts : an observational pilot study of the effects of Argentine ants on honey bees in New Zealand
(Unitec ePress, 2016-05-16)The Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) is an invasive species first identified in New Zealand in 1990. It is an aggressive tramp species that can form very large ‘super colonies’ extending over vast areas and has been ... -
Perspectives in biosecurity
(Unitec ePress, 2017-12-13)Perspectives in Biosecurity is a multi-disciplinary electronic journal of research papers and other outputs covering all aspects of the field of biosecurity including, but not restricted to invasion biology and ecology, ... -
The PGI enzyme system and fitness response to temperature as a measure of environmental tolerance in an invasive species
(2014-11-25)In the field of invasion ecology, the determination of a species’ environmental tolerance, is a key parameter in the prediction of its potential distribution, particularly in the context of global warming. In poikilothermic ... -
Preference of a native beetle for "exoticism", characteristics that contribute to invasive success of Costelytra zealandica (Scarabaeidae: Melolonthinae)
(PeerJ (London), 2015-11-30)Widespread replacement of native ecosystems by productive land sometimes results in the outbreak of a native species. In New Zealand, the introduction of exotic pastoral plants has resulted in diet alteration of the ... -
Queensland fruit fly invasion of New Zealand : predicting area suitability under future climate change scenarios
(Unitec ePress, 2015-10-07)The Queensland fruit fly Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is consistently described as the most damaging pest to Australia’s horticulture industries with an annual economic cost averaging around $25.7 ... -

(2014)Biology: (Vanellus miles novaehollandia) Morphology, reproduction, habitat, sub-species differences. range, distribution, arrival in NZ. Protection status prior to 2010, impacts in NZ. Study aims: • Describe the pattern ... -
Responding positively to plant defences, a candidate key trait for invasion success in in the New Zealand grass grub Costelytra zealandica
(New Zealand Ecological Society Inc (NZES), 2014-07-28)Occasionally, exotic plant introductions lead to the emergence of an invasive insect within its native geographical range. Such emergence could be explained by a pre-adaptation of the insect to break through the defences ... -
Responding positively to plant defences, a candidate key trait for invasion success in phytophagous insects
(New Zealand Ecological Society, IncNew Zealand Ecological Society, Inc, 2015)Occasionally, exotic plant introductions lead to the emergence of an invasive insect within its native geographical range. Such emergence could be explained by a pre-adaptation of the insect to break through ... -
Science Communication Major for BAppSci : a model for collaborative delivery

Screening of algorithms for ensemble modelling of marine and terrestrial invasive species to New Zealand
(New Zealand Biosecurity Institute, 2013)Performance based screening of species distribution model (SDM) outputs to produce an ensemble of results was used to determine the suitability of New Zealand to highly threatening terrestrial and marine invasive species. ... -
Supporting regulations for hull biofouling : a risk management based workflow, thresholds/species assessment and required knowledge bases
(2017-03-28)Species movement for farming can be one of the many sources of biological threats to the well-being of farmed aquatic animals as well as to humans and ecosystems, especially when done in a haphazard manner. With aquaculture ...
