  • 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.

  • Used a Hedonic Property Price Function to Estimate the Effect of Flood
    AARES 52nd Annual Conference 2008 Flood prone risk and amenity values: a spatial hedonic analysis Oshadhi Samarasinghe and Basil Sharp 1 Flood prone risk and amenity values: a spatial hedonic analysis Oshadhi Samarasinghe, Basil Sharp* Department of Economics, The University of Auckland, New Zealand * Corresponding author: 64-9-373 7599 E-mail address: [email protected] 2 Abstract This study examines the impact of flood hazard zone location on residential property values. The study utilises data from over 2,000 private residential property sales occurred during 2006 in North Shore City, New Zealand. A spatial autoregressive hedonic model is developed to provide efficient estimates of the marginal effect of flood prone risks on property values. Our results suggest that a property located within a flood hazard zone sells for 4.3% less than an equivalent property located outside the flood hazard zone. Given the median house price, estimated discount associated with flood risks is approximately NZ$22,000. Keywords: Flood hazard; Spatial hedonic; Amenity value JEL classification: Q15; Q51 3 1. Introduction The least frequently occurring natural hazards include earthquakes, volcanism, tsunami, meteorological events such as storms, and fire. While of low return frequency, natural hazards are potentially of major regional significance. In the case of flooding it is possible that many properties are in a flood hazard zone but the owners’ have never experienced a flood. Even though a flood hazard zone might be based on a 1% chance of occurring every year a storm causing the area to be flooded may not have occurred in the last several decades.
