The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Nestling mortality in a translocated population of hihi/stitchbirds (Notiomystis cincta) A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Conservation Biology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Rosemary Jane Rippon 2010 ii For Dinge who was there, For the birds, my raison d’être, and For my Dad who shared the passion iii iv Photo – Raewyn Empson “The more sophisticated the level of our knowledge is The more effective we will be in dealing with the natural world” His Holiness the Dalai Lama Abstract Nestling mortality in a reintroduced population of the endangered and endemic hihi/stitchbird (Notiomystis cincta) was investigated over one breeding season (2008-09) at Zealandia – Karori Sanctuary, New Zealand, to determine whether disease impacted on nestling survival. High rates of both hatching failure (56%) and nestling mortality (39%) in the first clutch made this the least successful breeding season since translocation in 2005. Overall 34% of eggs survived to fledge, compared to 52% and 58% in 2005-06 and 2006-07 respectively. Samples collected from 34 live and 25 dead nestlings were screened for evidence of disease. Bacterial and fungal pathogens were isolated from gastrointestinal swabs but there was no evidence of coccidia or other intestinal parasites in faecal samples. There was no evidence of significant abnormalities in the blood collected from hihi prior to fledging in the haematological parameters tested, and all blood samples were negative for malarial parasites.

  • Australia's National Heritage
    HMVS Cerberus VITORC IA Named after the three-headed mythological guard dog, Australia’s HMVS Cerberus was purpose-built for the Victorian Colonial Navy in 1868. The prototype of modern steam-powered battleships, her unique design laid the foundations for all surface, gun-armed warships for a century, until the advent of guided missiles in the late 1960s. The heavy iron superstructure and lighter iron hull were a radical departure from the wooden warships that had previously dominated world navies. I n the 1860s, the Victorian Government was in the market for a powerful warship. Britain and Russia prepared to face each other in battle again as the threat of a second Crimean War became very real. The Australian colonies, half a world away from Britain, faced the possibility of hostile attack by a Russian flotilla. Her main armament consisted of four 10-inch muzzle HMVS was the flagship of theV ictorian Cerberus loading guns mounted in two turrets. Cerberus’ guns were Colonial Navy, protecting Melbourne and Victoria’s rich capable of firing a round every 1.5 minutes; exceptionally gold resources from foreign attack. Upon Federation in fast for the standards of the day. She also had ballast 1901 she was transferred to the Commonwealth naval tanks that could be filled to sink the hull and lower her forces and then became an inaugural unit of the Royal freeboard to further reduce her profile in battle. Australian Navy in 1911. Throughout her 53 years of service, HMVS Cerberus By 1924 she was declared surplus to the Navy and was was never required to fire a shell at an enemy.

  • H.M.V.S. Cerberus “A Monitor Downunder”
    H.M.V.S. CERBERUS A snarling Cerberus keeps the Russian bear at bay. i “A MONITOR DOWNUNDER” a “National Heritage Place” When about to be scuttled in 1926 The Herald reported:- “Aptly named, the old ship prowled around the bay for half a century, a watchdog with fearful barks from her 18 ton muzzle loaders, a veritable ‘Old Ironside.’ She was the cradle of the fleet - the nursery where two generations of sailors learned their art and craft.” ii Named after the fearsome three headed dog in Greek mythology, the ironclad HMVS Cerberus is arguably the world's most important accessible shipwreck. Launched in 1868, at the Palmer Shipbuilding Company Works on the Tyne River in the UK, just six years after the USS Monitor, she was one of the most powerful and revolutionary warships the world had ever seen - the forerunner of all modern battleships. Today, the wreck of the HMVS Cerberus lies in just 15 feet of water off an Australian suburban beach, her lower iron hull in an advanced state of collapse after 78 years battling the elements as a breakwater. A frightening product of the Industrial Revolution, Cerberus was the world's first truly integrated modern "battleship", or capital ship, a radical departure from the wooden and iron hulled warships that had previously dominated the navies of the world. Drawing inspiration from the USS Monitor, Edward Reed improved upon the monitor design with a range of successful innovations, the most important of which was her raised central superstructure or armoured breastwork. This eight inch thick armoured belt provided superior protection and seaworthiness, while allowing her dual rotating turrets to move and fire while under steam, greatly enhancing manoeuvrability and fighting capacity.

How am I supposed to make sense of Traditional Chinese bookbinding, and what the hell is an Initial? Containers are a mystery to me. And what about A Post box, and what on earth is The Hollow Nickel Case? An Ammunition box – dunno. Couldn’t tell you. I’m not well-versed in Postal systems. And I don’t know what Bulk mail is or what is supposed to be special about A Catcher pouch. I don’t know what people mean by ‘Bags’. What’s the deal with The Arhuaca mochila, and what is the mystery about A Bin bag? Am I supposed to be familiar with A Carpet bag? How should I know? Cradleboard? Come again? Never heard of it. I have no idea. A Changing bag – never heard of it. I’ve never heard of Carriages. A Dogcart – what does that mean? A Ralli car? Doesn’t ring a bell. I have absolutely no idea. And what the hell is Tandem, and what is the deal with the Mail coach? 4 I don’t know the first thing about Postal system of the United Kingdom.
