Welcome to all delegates of the EcoTas13 conference. On behalf of the New Zealand Ecological Society, it is While both being part of Gondwana initially and being my pleasure to welcome delegates to EcoTas13, the only separated by a small sea, it is interesting that 5th joint conference of the New Zealand Ecological both Australia and New Zealand have experienced Society and the Ecological Society of Australia.

  • Functional Beta Diversity of New Zealand Fishes
    Austral Ecology (2021) 46, 965–981 Functional beta diversity of New Zealand fishes: Characterising morphological turnover along depth and latitude gradients, with derivation of functional bioregions ELISABETH M. V. MYERS,*1 DAVID EME,1,2 LIBBY LIGGINS,3,4 EUAN S. HARVEY,6 CLIVE D. ROBERTS5 AND MARTI J. ANDERSON1 1New Zealand Institute for Advanced Study (NZIAS), Massey University, Albany Campus, Auckland, 0745, New Zealand (Email: [email protected]); 2Unite´ Ecologie et Modeles` pour l’Halieutique, IFREMER, Nantes, France; 3School of Natural and Computational Sciences (SNCS), Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand; 4Auckland Museum, Tamaki¯ Paenga Hira, Auckland, New Zealand; 5Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington, New Zealand; and 6School of Molecular and Life Sciences, Curtin University, Bentley, Western Australia, Australia Abstract Changes in the functional structures of communities are rarely examined along multiple large-scale environmental gradients. Here, we describe patterns in functional beta diversity for New Zealand marine fishes versus depth and latitude, including broad-scale delineation of functional bioregions. We derived eight functional traits related to food acquisition and locomotion and calculated complementary indices of functional beta diver- sity for 144 species of marine ray-finned fishes occurring along large-scale depth (50–1200 m) and latitudinal gradients (29°–51°S) in the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone. We focused on a suite of morphological traits calculated directly from in situ Baited Remote Underwater Stereo-Video (stereo-BRUV) footage and museum specimens. We found that functional changes were primarily structured by depth followed by latitude, and that latitudinal functional turnover decreased with increasing depth. Functional turnover among cells increased with increasing depth distance, but this relationship plateaued for greater depth distances (>750 m).

    AicheleNew Zealand et al.: JournalSugar water of Ecology intake (2021)by kaka 45(1): 3431 © 2021 New Zealand Ecological Society. 1 RESEARCH Intake of sugar water by kākā in Orokonui Eco-sanctuary Anna Aichele1, Philip Seddon1 and Yolanda van Heezik1* 1Department of Zoology, University of Otago, P.O. Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand. Author for correspondence (Email: [email protected]) Published online: 8 December 2020 Abstract: Supplementary food is provided to native birds in eco-sanctuaries throughout New Zealand to discourage their movement outside the sanctuary, to enhance reproductive success, and to promote visitor encounters with wildlife. We recorded the frequency of visits by South Island kākā (Nestor meridionalis meridionalis) to four feeders in Orokonui eco-sanctuary to quantify sugar water consumption as a contribution to daily energy requirements. During 11 days of observations that took place between May and July 2018, thirty-one kākā visited the feeders (16 juveniles, 8 sub-adults, 8 adults; 55% females); we obtained complete records of all visits from 20 birds. The amount of time spent drinking at the feeders did not vary between sexes, age groups, or feeders. Mean daily kilojoules consumed (4.01 kJ ± 3.30 SD) was only 0.76% ± 0.62% of daily energy requirements. Provision of sugar water therefore encourages kākā to regularly visit the feeders, providing good viewing opportunities for the public, but does not appear to form a major component of the birds’ diet. Keywords: Nestor meridionalis meridionalis, parrot, provisioning, supplementary feeding Introduction suggested as a potential negative impact of food provisioning (Robb et al.

    How can geomorphology inform ecological restoration? A synthesis of geophysical and biological assessment to determine restoration priorities A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Master of Science Degree in Physical Geography By Leicester Cooper School of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Victoria University Wellington 2012 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Acknowledgements Many thanks and much appreciation go to my supervisors Dr Bethanna Jackson and Dr Paul Blaschke, whose sage advice improved this study. Thanks for stepping into the breach; I hope you didn’t regret it. Thanks to the Scholarships Office for the Victoria Master’s (by thesis) Scholarship Support award which has made the progression of the study much less stressful. Thanks go to the various agencies that have provided assistance including; Stefan Ziajia from Kapiti Coast District Council, Nick Page from Greater Wellington Regional Council, Eric Stone from Department of Conservation, Kapiti office. Appreciation and thanks go to Will van Cruchten, for stoically putting up with my frequent calls requesting access to Whareroa Farm. Also, many thanks to Prof. Shirley Pledger for advice and guidance in relation to the statistical methods and analysis without whom I might still be working on the study. Any and all mistakes contained within I claim sole ownership of. Thanks to the generous technicians in the Geography department, Andrew Rae and Hamish McKoy and fellow students, including William Ries, for assistance with procurement of aerial images and Katrin Sattler for advice in image processing. To Dr Murray Williams, without whose sudden burst at one undergraduate lecture I would not have strayed down the path of ecological restoration.
