The previous volumes of Field dub Notes did very good pioneering work, and have encouraged us to take another large step in the direction of a University Club periodical, -which will satisfy the wants of undergraduate field -workers in the natural sciences. Many of the keener members of the dub are planning -work to Honours stage in Botany, Zoology or Geology, and all agree that practice in clarifying ideas, and planning a written account mil be of some value in their future University work. Added to this, is that from our camps, often we are able to reach areas little'known scientifically, where even the most elementary species listing is new and valuable. In fact, so little is known of natural populations of animals and plants in New Zealand that the definite'record of the presence or absence of a species is bound to be worth recording"; permanently. Little experience or training is required to do this, only a-careful regard for accuracy in identification. Accounts of a more descriptive nature, require more experience in observation and sound interpretation. This work Is not beyond advanced students who may find they have the field to themselves. Such work may be exemplified by annotated species lists of plants or animals for a res• tricted and defined area, descriptions of circumscribed vegetational types such as coastal bush,., swamp etc,, geological accounts and so forth. Some students, even in their first stage, find time to specialise on a small branch of one of their subjects. While fully aware of the danger of this work leading the un• suspecting student, fascinated, away from his syllabus work, we must admit that some of our most interesting articles this year have come from such specialists. Without them, accuracy in identification is often impossible in the. field. No one can bring everything back as specimens to go to the experts at the University or Museum for identification. In connection with species records, one fault has made itself evident from previous field work done by the Club. Many lists have been made, lost,, and made again during later trips to the same area and then never published. Even if-it be said that the most important aspect of field work is the knowledge it gives to the worker himself, such repetition of previous work must be regarded as senseless when it occurs within one and the same club. lie have tried to. correct this by carefully going through previous records made by the Club before any old hunting ground was visited again this year. John Sumich's review of the Mollusc records from the Noises Is. made In 1934 and 1935, is an example of this work we are new doingc It will make future Mollusc collecting at; the Noises Is. more progressive- - new records being added and old records enlarged upon. It is hoped. that in this, way, it may be possible, to finally publish in a more widely circulated scientific journal, the virtually completed list with full ecological annotations. Similarly all previous records have been included in the plant species lists, such sources of information being duly acknowledged. Future work on these should be accumulative, as many of them deal with areas near Auckland often revisited. When a survey of some importance was made, such-as that from.. Waikaremoana or Mt. Moehau, Coromandel, all previous records that could be found: were gone through and valuable information has been; brought together.. The above deals only with the scientific activities of the Club, but it must not be forgotten that the Club's main object is to provide outdoor recreation. The first part of 'Tane' has been devoted to accounts of the camps. Each has been written by a member present, -and these records give an essential description of Club life through the year. Further Club activities have been a series of addresses. Inmost cases we have asked the speakers themselves to give a brief summary of their talks, thus ensuring that full justice be done to the subject matter of the lectures. For the trouble taken in these summaries we are most grateful, and feel sure of. their interest and value to. -. outside readers of 'Tane'. These contributions came from members of the staff of the Natural Science Departments, a research student and club members themselves. It, is hoped that these will stimulate interest in the work being done at the College, ; -. 3 - In conclusion we wish to thank-the Club members who have worked so hard to make this year a success. But'especially we would like to thank those in the Club who have contributed articles to 'Tane. ' - as we had hoped, it has been- a work of. many, not just one or two, acknowledgement S. The committee wish to acknowledge assistance given to the Club over the past year by many people. ' Thanks are due: To Dr. W. R. B. Oliver', Dr. C. R. Laws, Mr. (J. O. K. Sainsbury, Mr. V. W. Lindauer, Mr. A. W, B. Powell Mr. E. G. Turbott, Mr. R.: Cooper, Mr. V. J. Cook, and. Mr. W. J. Butler for expert advice and identification of material. To the Marine Fisheries Department, Captain Duthie and Mr. M. Cassie, for making available the research trawler 'Ikatere'. To the Botany Department staff and especially Professor Chapman for the use of the department's facilities. To two old Field Club members, Alex Corban and John Sumich, for their generosity and help. To Mary Lokes, who'has given much of her own time in the preparation of 'Tane', the Club is especially indebted. TANE The choice of "Tane" as a name for'the Field Club's Magazine is most appropriate because of the rich background of natural history lore-relating to Tane, Authorities in referring to the departmental deities of the Maori con• sider Tane the most important, for he was the male parent of many natural, denizens of this world, including trees and birds. By many tribes he is re• garded as the originator of human life itself. ' Tane had the highest 'standing of any of the sons of the primal parents Rangi (the sky) and Papa (the earth), His control of the forest is noted in the numerous incantations (karakia) in. which he1 is addressed by name. A tree felled in order to fashion the hull of a war canoe was referred to symbolically as Tane*. 'Despite numerous other titles appended to his name, he was commonly referred. to in the abbreviated form and was known not only in New Zealand but also to many other Polynesian peoples.

The native resident fauna of these islands consists of 42 species of which 21 (50%) are endemic, in 27 genera, of which 3 (11%) are endemic, in 12 families. The endemic fauna is characterised by brachyptery (66%), body size under 10 mm (72%) and concealed, or strictly ground- dwelling larval life. All species can be related to mainland forms; there is a distinctive pre-Pleistocene element as well as some instances of possible Pleistocene introductions, as suggested by the presence of pairs of species, one member of which is endemic but fully winged. A graph and tables are given showing the composition of the fauna, its distribution, habits, and presumed derivations. Host plants or host niches are discussed. An additional 7 species are considered to be non-resident waifs. The taxonomic part includes keys to families (applicable only to the subantarctic fauna), and to genera and species.

Abstract Patterns of flammability across the vascular plant phylogeny, with special emphasis on the genus Dracophyllum by Xinglei Cui Fire has been part of the environment for the entire history of terrestrial plants and is a common disturbance agent in many ecosystems across the world. Fire has a significant role in influencing the structure, pattern and function of many ecosystems. Plant flammability, which is the ability of a plant to burn and sustain a flame, is an important driver of fire in terrestrial ecosystems and thus has a fundamental role in ecosystem dynamics and species evolution. However, the factors that have influenced the evolution of flammability remain unclear.

Box 84 Lincoln University [email protected] Prepared for: Josef Langer Trust & Department of Conservation September 2011 An Invertebrate survey of reserves, covenants and significant remnants of eastern Banks Peninsula in 2010-2011 Abstract Reserves, covenants and bush remnants of the eastern side of Banks Peninsula were surveyed for invertebrates including ground beetles (carabids), weevils, spiders, moths, earthworms and snails. Sixteen carabid species were found including one new Holcaspis species. The six-eyed spider Periegops suterii was found in six sites. Light trapping moths identified 202 species with 122 from Hinewai Reserve alone. Soil sampling found 13 endemic species of worms. New species of millipedes (Diplopoda) and cranefly (Tipulidae) were also found. Recommendations for future research on Banks Peninsula are given. Introduction The Eastern side of Banks Peninsula was created by eruptions and subsequent erosion of the Akaroa volcano which was active between 9 and 8 million years ago (Wilson, 1992).

  • Forests and Scrublands of Northern Fiordland
    80 Vol. 1 FORESTS AND SCRUBLANDS OF NORTHERN FIORDLAND J. WARDLE, J. HAYWARD, and J. HERBERT, Forest and Range Experiment Station, New Zealand Forest Service, Rangiora (Received for publication 18 January 1971) ABSTRACT The composition and structure of the forests and scrublands of northern Fiordland were recorded at 1,053 sample points. The vegetation at each sample point was classified into one of 16 associations using a combination of Sorensen's 'k' index of similarity, and a multi-linkage cluster analysis. The associations were related to habitat and the distribution of each was determined. The influence of the introduced ungulates, red deer and wapiti, on the forests and scrublands was determined. Stand structure was analysed to provide infor­ mation on the susceptibility of the vegetation to damage from browsing and on the history of ungulate utilisation of the vegetation. Browse indices were calculated to provide information on current ungulate utilisation of the vegetation. INTRODUCTION A reconnaissance of northern Fiordland was carried out during the summer of 1969-70 by staff of the Forest and Range Experiment Station. The purpose was to describe the composition, structure, and habitat of the forest and scrub associations, to determine both present and past influence of ungulates on them, and to establish a number of permanent reference points to permit measurement of future changes in the vegetation. The area studied lies between the western shores of Lake Te Anau and the Tasman Sea. The southern boundary is the South Fiord of Lake Te Anau, the Esk Burn and Windward River catchments, and Charles Sound; the northern boundary is the Worsley and Transit River catchments (Fig.

  • Notification of Access Arrangement for MP 41279, Mt Te Kuha
    Attachment C Draft Terrestrial Ecology Report 106 VEGETATION AND FAUNA OF THE PROPOSED TE KUHA MINE SITE Prepared for Te Kuha Limited Partnership October 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Te Kuha mining permit is located predominantly within the Westport Water Conservation Reserve (1,825 ha), which is a local purpose reserve administered by the Buller District Council. The coal deposit is situated outside the water catchment within an area of approximately 490 ha of Brunner Coal Measures vegetation approximately 5 km southwest of Mt Rochfort. Access would be required across conservation land to reach the coal resource. The Te Kuha site was recommended as an area for protection by the Protected Natural Areas Programme surveys in the 1990s on the basis that in the event it was removed from the local purpose reserve for any reason, addition to the public conservation estate would increase the level of protection of coal measures habitats which, although found elsewhere (principally in the Mt Rochfort Conservation Area), were considered inadequately protected overall. The proposal to create an access road and an opencast mine at the site would affect twelve different vegetation types to varying degrees. The habitats present at the proposed mine site are overwhelmingly indigenous and have a very high degree of intactness reflecting their lack of human disturbance. Previous surveys have shown that some trees in the area are more than 500 years old. Habitats affected by the proposed access road are less intact and include exotic pasture as well as regenerating shrubland and forest. Te Kuha is not part of the Department of Conservation’s Buller Coal Plateaux priority site and is unlikely to receive management for that reason.

It has been reared from Declana floccosa Walker, Cleora scriptaria (Walker), Pseudocoremia suavis Butler and P. fenerata Felder & Rogenhofer (Geometridae: Ennominae). Introduction The second and third authors have been involved in compiling information on the parasitoids of an ennomine geometrid, Pseudocoremia suavis Butler, 1879, which had several large scale outbreaks in pine forests in New Zealand. One of the most common parasitoids proved to be an Aleiodes Wesmael, 1838 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Roga- dinae: Rogadini), which turned out to be a new species according to research by the first and last authors.
