  • Wainuiomata Central Place Name Origins
    WainuiomataCentralPlaceNames.docx WAINUIOMATA CENTRAL PLACE NAME ORIGINS This document is about the origin of the names of various features of Central Wainuiomata on the flat area such as houses, parks and suburb names. It excludes road and street names. Wainuiomata is named after the big water or stream of Mata. Wai means water. Nui means big. O means of. Mata refers to a woman's name Roimata. This is an official version. The origins of the word are disputed and other commonly accepted translations are: - Refers to the women living in the now Hutt Valley who came over the Wainuiomata Hill to evade marauding tribes. These tribes in about 1819 were carrying muskets that came north from the Paremata area. In the battle the local tribes were said to have been destroyed. The Paremata Maoris came across the remaining women who were sitting wailing by the stream after the slaughter of their menfolk. From this we have “faces streaming with water”, “tears” or “weeping water”. - Refers to the large pools of water which lay over the swampy surface of the northern end of the Valley, or the river itself which is known to flood the Coast Road / Wainuiomata Valley. From this it can also mean large river from the swamp. - Refers to the whitebait that are present at the mouth of the river. Mata means whitebait. From this we have big river of whitebait. - Refers to flint or obsidian which is hard rock found in the headwaters of the river. - Refers to the origin and personification of water. The area for the purposes of this document covers is from the head of the Wainuiomata River to the mouth where it enters the sea at the Wainuiomata Coast and its tributaries.

  • Macroinvertebrate Community Responses to Mammal Control
    MACROINVERTEBRATE COMMUNITY RESPONSES TO MAMMAL CONTROL – EVIDENCE FOR TOP-DOWN TROPHIC EFFECTS BY OLIVIA EDITH VERGARA PARRA A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Conservation Biology Victoria University of Wellington 2018 Para mi sobrina Violeta Orellana Vergara y su sonrisa hermosa. Tu llegada remeció mi corazón de amor de una manera inimaginable. ¡Sueña en grande! ii Nothing in nature stands alone... (John Hunter 1786) iii iv ABSTRACT New Zealand’s invertebrates are characterised by extraordinary levels of endemism and a tendency toward gigantism, flightlessness and longevity. These characteristics have resulted in a high vulnerability to introduced mammals (i.e. possums, rats, mice, and stoats) which are not only a serious threat to these invertebrates, but have also altered food web interactions over the past two-hundred years. The establishment of fenced reserves and the aerial application of 1080 toxin are two methods of mammal control used in New Zealand to exclude and reduce introduced mammals, respectively. Responses of ground-dwelling invertebrates to mammal control, including a consideration of trophic cascades and their interactions, remain unclear. However, in this thesis, I aimed to investigate how changes in mammal communities inside and outside a fenced reserve (ZEALANDIA, Wellington) and before-and-after the application of 1080 in Aorangi Forest, influence the taxonomic and trophic abundance, body size and other traits of ground-dwelling invertebrates on the mainland of New Zealand. I also tested for effects of habitat variables (i.e. vegetation and elevation), fluctuations in predator populations (i.e.

  • Wellington Mar 2019
    THE ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF NEW ZEALAND (Inc) OSNZ - Birds New Zealand March 2019 http://osnz.org.nz/ and http://notornis.osnz.org.nz/ Greetings There are two major events on the Wellington Birds New Zealand 2019 calendar; the Birds New Zealand Conference over Queen’s Birthday weekend and the start of the new Atlas Scheme. Information on the new Atlas scheme was recently published in the March issue of the Birds New Zealand magazine. The Wellington Region over the next three months will plan how the new scheme will be managed in our region. Importantly, the new scheme will provide local members with the opportunity to participate in a National Programme which will help guide local and national conservation policy for many years. Training will be provided on the operation of the scheme and bird identification. There is likely to be a need for helping our neighbouring regions which have large areas and small Birds New Zealand membership. 2019 is turning out to be a busy time for bird translocations in the Wellington Region, rifleman to Zealandia and fernbird and white-faced storm petrels to Mana Island. These translocations will provide Wellington members with not only further opportunity to see these birds but also helping with post translocation monitoring by recording band combinations. Regards Geoff de Lisle Wellington Regional Representative, Birds New Zealand (OSNZ) Birds New Zealand Conference – Queen’s Birthday Weekend – Update Registrations for the conference now exceed 100 and include many from the Wellington Region. Keynote presentations for the Conference include a talk on the latest, record Kakapo breeding season, Auckland Islands and the launch of the new Birds New Zealand Atlas Scheme.
