  • Conservation
    SCIENCE OF ECOLOGY AND ART OF CONSERVATION Protection of native species by applying scientific principles of conservation can save New Zealand’s threatened flora and fauna from extinction. Indeed, safeguarding species diversity and abundance will ensure today’s gene pool contributes to the ability of species’ to adapt in tomorrow’s changing environment. Greater biodiversity thereby enhances opportunities for the future evolution of new species. Ecological degradation began with the arrival of humans (circa 1280 AD), along with their cargo of predators to this archipelago. Many species were lost when Polynesians and Europeans respectively destroyed 32% and 38% of the country’s natural forests. Polynesians caused the extinction of >70 native species and European’s another 12 species. Prolonged hunting and habitat loss precipitated extinction of ~58 bird species*. Introduced predators quickly gained supremacy over smaller avian and insect species. Kiore (Rattus exulans) alone led to the loss of ~23 small bird, bat, reptile and invertebrate species. The worldwide IUCN Red List contains 784 extinct species, of which 27 have been lost in the past 20 years. The Red List’s threatened species includes 45 New Zealand birds, including the North Island kokako, kaka, kiwi, kakapo and mohua. The country’s birds are prone to predation and their numbers in most cases continue to decline (Table 1). This includes extinction of the South Island kokako, last reported to occur in Teal Creek, Mount Aspiring National Park in 1967 (Fig. 1). North Island kokako (Callaeas cinerea wilsoni) with their aquamarine wattle are few, and limited mostly to the Mainland Island Restoration Project, Otamatuna, Te Urewera National Park.

H. Evans .lbe • Univers1ty ofWaikato le L\'hart' H-'ananga o Waikato University of Waikato 2003 ABSTRACT The study area of this thesis is located in the King Country Basin, North Island, New Zealand. It contains a 400 m thick marine sedimentary succession of Miocene age and Quaternary ignimbrites. The field area comprises 900 km2 of steep to rolling farmland and some large patches of native forest, and includes the towns of Ohura in the west and Taumarunui in the east. There is limited outcrop exposure in the study area, and the sedimentary succession is often weathered.

  • Distributions of New Zealand Birds on Real and Virtual Islands
    JARED M. DIAMOND 37 Department of Physiology, University of California Medical School, Los Angeles, California 90024, USA DISTRIBUTIONS OF NEW ZEALAND BIRDS ON REAL AND VIRTUAL ISLANDS Summary: This paper considers how habitat geometry affects New Zealand bird distributions on land-bridge islands, oceanic islands, and forest patches. The data base consists of distributions of 60 native land and freshwater bird species on 31 islands. A theoretical section examines how species incidences should vary with factors such as population density, island area, and dispersal ability, in two cases: immigration possible or impossible. New Zealand bird species are divided into water-crossers and non-crossers on the basis of six types of evidence. Overwater colonists of New Zealand from Australia tend to evolve into non-crossers through becoming flightless or else acquiring a fear of flying over water. The number of land-bridge islands occupied per species increases with abundance and is greater for water-crossers than for non-crossers, as expected theoretically. Non-crossers are virtually restricted to large land-bridge islands. The ability to occupy small islands correlates with abundance. Some absences of species from particular islands are due to man- caused extinctions, unfulfilled habitat requirements, or lack of foster hosts. However, many absences have no such explanation and simply represent extinctions that could not be (or have not yet been) reversed by immigrations. Extinctions of native forest species due to forest fragmentation on Banks Peninsula have especially befallen non-crossers, uncommon species, and species with large area requirements. In forest fragments throughout New Zealand the distributions and area requirements of species reflect their population density and dispersal ability.

  • Integrated Micropaleontology of Waikato Coal Measures and Associated Sediments in Central North Island, New Zealand

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. NEW ZEALAND OLIGOCENE LAND CRISIS: INTEGRATED MICROPALEONTOLOGY OF WAIKATO COAL MEASURES AND ASSOCIATED SEDIMENTS IN CENTRAL NORTH ISLAND, NEW ZEALAND A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. Claire Louise Shepherd 2012 ABSTRACT The topic of complete inundation of the New Zealand landmass during the Oligocene is a contentious one, with some proponents arguing the possibility that Zealandia became completely submerged during this time, and others contesting the persistence of small islands. The outcome of this debate has significant implications for the way in which modern New Zealand flora and fauna have evolved. This research project addresses the topic from a geological point of view by analysing late Oligocene–early Miocene sediments in the Benneydale region, in order to establish the timing of marine transgression in this area. Samples from two cores drilled in the Mangapehi Coalfield were analysed for palynological and calcareous nannofossil content, and these data were used to determine the age and paleoenvironment of Waikato Coal Measures, Aotea Formation and Mahoenui Group. Additionally, data from 28 boreholes in the coalfield were utilized to construct a series of isopach maps to elucidate changes in the paleostructure through time. All data were combined to develop a series of paleogeographic maps illustrating the development of coal measures and associated sediments across the Benneydale region.

  • New Zealand Rep 2015
    A glorious Yellow-eyed Penguin on its nesting grounds (Mark Van Beirs) NEW ZEALAND 26 OCTOBER – 14 NOVEMBER 2015 LEADER: MARK VAN BEIRS assisted by MARK AYRE and CHRIS GASKIN 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: NEW ZEALAND www.birdquest-tours.com New Zealand truly is a very special country for international birdwatchers. Although it has lost 58 endemic bird species since it was colonized by the Maori c1000 years ago, it still holds a splendid selection of forest endemics and without a doubt the most astounding variety of seabirds on our globe. We managed to see a very high percentage of these endemics and pride of place must certainly go to the four species of kiwi (out of five) that we managed to see at close range! The experience with the South Island Kiwi on a remote beach on Stewart Island will never be forgotten, and we also savoured to the full the smashing encounters with Little Spotted Kiwi on Tiritiri Matangi island, with the very rarely seen Great Spotted Kiwi at Arthur’s Pass and with the Okarito Kiwi at Okarito. The magnificent seabird spectacle of dozens of albatrosses, petrels, shearwaters and storm petrels at very close range on our different pelagics in the Hauraki Gulf, off Kaikoura and around Stewart Island were truly out of this world. Although some of the endemic landbirds now only occur on offshore islands or in some remote southern beech or podocarpus forests, we very much enjoyed the amazing dawn chorus of singing Tuis, Bellbirds, Saddlebacks and Robins. New Zealand is home to six endemic bird families: the Kiwis (Apterygidae), the New Zealand Parrots (Strigopidae), the New Zealand Wattlebirds (Callaeiidae), the Stitchbird (Notiomystidae), the New Zealand Wrens (Acanthisittidae) and the New Zealand Creepers (Mohuidae).

  • 2010 Conference Abstracts
    Re-examination of the epic transoceanic migration of the long-tailed cuckoo Eudynamys taitensis (Aves: Cuculidae) Brian J Gill, Auckland Museum, Auckland, New Zealand ([email protected]) Long-tailed cuckoos (Eudynamys taitensis; 125 g) breed only in New Zealand, parasitising three species of Mohoua (Pachycephalidae). After performing perhaps the most remarkable overwater migration of any land bird, they winter in a vast arc of Pacific islands extending 10,000 km from Palau (134.5°E) to Henderson Island (Pitcairn group; 128.3°W). Such an epic migration by so small a bird was originally doubted. After systematic collecting of birds on south Pacific islands by the Whitney South Sea Expedition (1920-32), a 1937 paper by Bogert established the bare details of the migration. This study aims to reassemble data on the long-tailed cuckoo’s migration, using specimens and literature records. The sexes are alike, but immatures (spotted back, rufous underparts) are readily distinguishable from adults (barred back, white underparts), allowing new analysis of migration patterns in relation to age. Preliminary results show that many birds in the wintering grounds have intermediate plumage (are presumably moulting from immatures to adults). A juvenile plumage, not previously noted, has also been identified. At the start of the breeding season (October- December) practically all birds in New Zealand are adults, and immatures in museum collections are overwhelmingly restricted to late summer and autumn. This establishes that all immatures in New Zealand are young-of-the-year. One of the three hosts (yellowhead M. ochrocephala) is now critically endangered. This must mean that the populations of cuckoos adapted to parasitising yellowheads are endangered or extinct now, in proportion to the decline of their host.
