    1 NZ Penguin Initiative, Q1 2021 Report, Thomas Mattern & Richard Seed Quarter One (Q1) Report 2021 THOMAS MATTERN (SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR) RICHARD SEED (RESEARCH & CONSERVATION COORDINATOR) 13TH APRIL 2021 Abstract The transponder gate in Harrison Cove is operational again following nearly a year of technical issues. Comprehensive analysis of three years’ worth of tawaki winter tracking data is underway with plans to publish two scientific papers this winter. Two film production companies plan to work alongside the Tawaki Project this field season; (1) Netflix’s ‘Our Planet’ series and (2) a South American documentary about NZPI advisor Popi Garcia-Borboroglu and the Global Penguin Society. Our comprehensive paper summarizing the survey of Erect-crested penguins on the Bounty Islands has been published in the latest issue of Notornis, while further analysis of drone imagery from the surveys has provided a detailed topographic reconstruction of the area. With the research permits attained, logistics are now be arranged for a 2021 research expedition to the Bounty Islands and Antipodes. Both the NZ Penguin Database and kororā monitoring protocols have been updated following their first year in operation. Establishment and monitoring of a marked kororā population on the West Coast revealed a bird in the colony that was marked as a chick nearly 1000 km round the coast in Otago. Halfmoon bay school have completed the first season of their pilot kororā monitoring project on Rakiura with help from NZPI. The Fiordland community were engaged with our research and penguin conservation through public and school talks. 2 NZ Penguin Initiative, Q1 2021 Report, Thomas Mattern & Richard Seed Contents Winter season of the Tawaki Project ...........................................................................................

Tennyson Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, PO Box 467, Wellington, New Zealand (Email: [email protected]) Published on-line: 4 November 2009 Abstract: Since the 1980s, morphological and molecular research has resulted in significant advances in understanding the relationships and origins of the recent terrestrial vertebrate fauna in the New Zealand biogeographic region. This research has led to many taxonomic changes, with a significant increase in the number of bird and reptile species recognised. It has also resulted in the recognition of several more Holocene (<10 000 years ago) bird species extinctions. The conclusion that Holocene extinctions were primarily caused by human- hunting and predation by other introduced mammals (particularly rats and cats) has been supported by new data. Despite many local eradications of introduced pests, the number of introduced species has increased, with the establishment of five more foreign birds and (on Norfolk Island) the house gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus). Many new, significant New Zealand vertebrate fossils have been reported, including more dinosaurs from the Cretaceous, and the first Tertiary records of frogs, rhynchocephalids, lizards, crocodylians, bats and a terrestrial “Mesozoic ghost” mammal from the Early Miocene near St Bathans. For birds, the earliest known penguins in the world have been discovered, and there are intriguing Late Cretaceous – Early Paleocene remains still awaiting detailed description.

Parasitism, disease and breeding ecology of little blue penguins (Eudyptula minor) on Tiritiri Matangi Island, New Zealand A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Conservation Biology Massey University, Auckland. Monique Jansen van Rensburg 2010 “A thing is complete when you can let it be.” Gita Bellin ii ABSTRACT According to the New Zealand Threat Classification, little blue penguin (LBP) (Eudyptula minor ) populations are under ‘gradual decline’. Although longterm data are available for some mainland populations, the status of LBP on offshore islands remains largely unknown. Most studies have focussed on breeding success and foraging ecology. However, there is a paucity of data pertaining to diseases and parasites, and the potential effects of these factors on LBP health, reproductive success and survival. To date, the LBP population on Tiritiri Matangi Island, Hauraki Gulf, Auckland, New Zealand, has only been monitored periodically, despite the island being an important habitat for LBP throughout their annual cycle. The overall aim of this study was to examine the relative importance of parasites and disease in relation to key aspects of LBP life-history, including: the annual cycle; reproductive success; energetic demands, immunity; and mortality. During 2006 and 2007, the reproductive success of LBP on Tiritiri Matangi Island was investigated with respect to lay date, nest site attributes, parental quality and ectoparasite loads.

I am Professor of Comparative Endocrinology at Massey University, Palmerston North. 3 I have conducted research on birds and other animals for more than 35 years. I have studied Adelie, emperor, yellow-eyed and little penguins, and a wide range of other species including amphibians, reptiles, birds, and marine and terrestrial mammals. I have published 96 refereed journal articles and 5 refereed book chapters, and have 150 other publications.

  • Legal Protection of New Zealand's Indigenous Terrestrial Fauna
    Tuhinga 25: 25–101 Copyright © Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (2014) Legal protection of New Zealand’s indigenous terrestrial fauna – an historical review Colin M. Miskelly Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, PO Box 467, Wellington, New Zealand ([email protected]) ABSTRACT: New Zealand has had a complex history of wildlife protection, with at least 609 different pieces of legislation affecting the protection of native wildlife between 1861 and 2013. The first species to be fully protected was the tüï (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae), which was listed as a native game species in 1873 and excluded from hunting in all game season notices continuously from 1878, until being absolutely protected in 1906. The white heron (Ardea modesta) and crested grebe (Podiceps cristatus) were similarly protected nationwide from 1888, and the huia (Heteralocha acutirostris) from 1892. Other species listed as native game before 1903 were not consistently excluded from hunting in game season notices, meaning that such iconic species as kiwi (Apteryx spp.), käkäpö (Strigops habroptilus), kökako (Callaeas spp.), saddlebacks (Philesturnus spp.), stitchbird (Notiomystis cincta) and bellbird (Anthornis melanura) could still be taken or killed during the game season until they were absolutely protected in 1906. The tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) was added to the native game list in 1895, but due to inadequate legislation was not absolutely protected until 1907. The Governor of the Colony of New Zealand had the power to absolutely protect native birds from 1886, but this was not used until 1903, when first the blue duck (Hymenolaimus malacorhynchus) and then the huia were given the status of absolutely protected, followed by more than 130 bird species by the end of 1906.

  • Patterns of Typical Cleavage Traces Analysed by the Chart Digitizer. A
    • • Fig. 21: Patterns of typical cleavage traces analysed by the chart digitizer. A - Specimen 1, B - Specimen B, C - Specimen 7, D - Specimen 8, E - Specimen 2-12, F - Specimen 2-13, G - Specimen 2-14. All magnifications x 1. 34. electronic chart digitizer at the Division of Mineral Physics, CSIRO, North Ryde, and results calculated by program GOLLUM (see Appendix II). Initially two specimens were digitised (Specimen A, Plate 5A, and Specimen B, Fig.21B) and results for lengths and spacings are shown in Figure 22. On graphs of length versus orientation from the dominant cleavage plane (Figs. 23A and B) the pattern as predicted by the model in Chapter 1 (p.25-29) was not observed. Instead, a distribution to both sides of the dominant cleavage plane occurred. The real distributions exhibit a close similarity to the theoretical curves, indicating that the cleavage planes are diverging on both sides away from the dominant cleavage plane. Because of the unusual pattern encountered it was decided to examine more specimens, particularly of "fracture" cleavage to see if similar patterns could be recognised. Specimen B for slaty cleavage has an almost parallel orientation with only two cleavage planes out of a total of 66 diverging more than 8° from the dominant cleavage plane. Subsequently the lengths and orientations of cleavage planes in fourteen specimens and photographs were determined using the electronic digitizer. Specimens were collected from four main localities within the Block and can be grouped into five divisions with respect to the orientation of the bedding and mesoscopic folds: (a) the plane of the specimen is parallel to the ac-plane, and bedding and the dominent cleavage are subvertical (e.g.
