  • The Genetic Analysis of Lasaea Hinemoa: the Story of an Evolutionary Oddity
    The Genetic Analysis of Lasaea hinemoa: The Story of an Evolutionary Oddity KATHERINE LOCKTON A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Science at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 1 March 2019 ABSTRACT Lasaea is a genus of molluscs that primarily consists of minute, hermaphroditic bivalves that occupy rocky shores worldwide. The majority of Lasaea species are asexual, polyploid, direct developers. However, two Australian species are exceptions: Lasaea australis is sexual, diploid and has planktotrophic development, whereas Lasaea colmani is sexual, diploid and direct developing. The New Zealand species Lasaea hinemoa has not been phylogeographically studied. I investigated the phylogeography of L. hinemoa using mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequencing (COIII and ITS2, respectively). Additionally, I investigated population- level structuring around Dunedin using microsatellite markers that I developed. It was elucidated that the individuals that underwent genetic investigation consisted of four clades (Clade I, Clade II, Clade III and Clade IV). Clade I and Clade III dominated in New Zealand and support was garnered through gene sequencing and microsatellite analysis for these clades to represent separate cryptic species, with biogeographic splitting present. Clade II consisted of individuals that had been collected from the Antipodes Island. The Antipodes Island contained individuals from two clades (Clade I and Clade II), with Lasaea from the Kerguelen Islands being more closely related to individuals from Clade II than Clade I was to Clade II. This genetic distinction between Clade I and Clade II seemed to indicate transoceanic dispersal via the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) between the Kerguelen Islands and Antipodes Island. Clade IV clustered very distinctly from L.

  • 239 Beach Road Campbells Bay INTRODUCTION
    239 Beach Road Campbells Bay INTRODUCTION 239 Beach Road Campbells Bay was a vacant residential lot comprising 2246 sqm of freehold land on the clifftop over- looking the Hauraki Gulf when it was sold two years ago and the dream of a stunning boutique development started to come to life. After much research the owners reached out to award winning House of Nautica about their vision. What we are near reaching now, are two stunning properties, built with great detail and thought, set back well off the road and sited perfectly to create privacy without obstructing the sea views this site commands. Architecturally designed by OCO architects based in Auckland NZ, the brief was to design a home that ties in with a busy family lifestyle, a home that is effortless to entertain in, a home that is functional in its design and layout and a home that blends in with the landscape. Whilst dramatic and power- ful with dark timber boards and solid masonry construction these properties are architectural and stylish but more impor- tantly undeniably functional. Completion is expected in October 2020 and comes with a 10 year Master build Guarantee. 01 LOCATION The location is within one of the North Shore’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. Campbells Bay beach is an easy walk down the hill and bountiful Centennial Park, with its tennis club, bush walking tracks and access to Pupuke Golf Course, is just across the road. Another huge bonus for families is the school zoning, as it falls in Westlake boys and girls zones, along with renowned Camp- bells Bay Primary which is just a short walk away and Murrays Bay Intermediate.

  • Business Unit Report Template
    Board Meeting | 12 September 2017 Agenda Item no.10 Open Session Business Report Recommendation: That the Chief Executive’s report be received. Prepared by: David Warburton, Chief Executive Corporate Preparation of the Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) The RLTP covers all capital projects and operating programmes for the region. Around 320 Auckland Transport and NZ Transport Agency capital projects have now been assessed through the ITP calculator to see which best deliver on the ATAP objectives. The Board has been updated at previous meetings on the process for prioritising the capital programme. The amount of funding available is still very uncertain. It will depend on factors such as which parties form the next Government, how roading projects are allocated between local and central Government and whether the Interim Transport Levy continues in some form. We have started the process of engaging with Local Boards on the RLTP, with presentations to cluster workshops in the South, Centre and North. Common themes coming through in these initial discussions included safety at rail crossings, benefits of Park & Rides, increasing maintenance requirements, poor condition of footpaths (partly due to utilities doing work), emphasis on active transport modes, quality standards for re- surfacing of rural roads and impact of quarries on local roads Engagement with iwi is planned to start over the next couple of months. The development of the Regional Public Transport Programme has also begun which will address the options for the future development of public transport. A Regional Transport Committee (RTC) meeting is being scheduled immediately following the 5 December Board meeting to consider a draft of the RLTP document (the RTC includes AT Directors with the Transport Agency representative having voting rights).
