The organising team for Ecology across the Tasman 2006 comprised: Clayson Howell Department of Conservation Kate McAlpine Department of Conservation Shona Pettigrew Victoria University of Wellington Ben Reddiex Department of Conservation Susan Timmins Department of Conservation Amanda Todd Department of Conservation Murray Williams Victoria University of Wellington They were ably assisted by: Jonathan Anderson Wellington City Council Paul Blaschke Blaschke & Rutherford KC Burns Victoria University of Wellington Melanie Dixon Greater Wellington Stephen Fuller Boffa Miskell Kelly Hare Victoria University of Wellington Rod Hitchmough Department of Conservation Mary McIntyre Otago University Angela Moles Victoria University of Wellington John Sawyer Department of Conservation Rudi Schnitzler Victoria University of Wellington Susan Timmins Chair Conference 2006 Organising Team iv General Information Registration Desk The registration desk in the Maclaurin Foyer will be staffed on Sunday 4.00 pm to 6.00 pm, on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday 8.00 am to 5.30 pm, and on Friday 8.00 am to 2.00 pm. Registration desk phone numbers: 027 563 6556; fax (04) 463 6550. Assistance during the conference Go to the registration desk, or ask any member of the organising team (who will be wearing yellow name badges). Conference Notice Board The conference notice board, near the registration desk, will display notices, including the updated programme and floor maps, as well as messages and notices for delegates. Email, Computers, Photocopying, and Faxes All computers in the foyer areas are available for delegates for email and web access. Get a login access code from the registration desk. Several computers have been put aside for word-processing and presentation formatting. Please contact the information desk if you wish to use one of these terminals. For small amounts of photocopying and urgent faxes, see the registration desk. Mobile Phones/Pagers As a courtesy to others, please ensure that all mobile phones and pagers are turned off, or on silent mode, during sessions. A public telephone is available in the Cotton Foyer; this is a card phone only. Cards can be purchased from Vic Books in the Student Union Building (see campus map at back of handbook). Name Badges Please wear your name badge at all times during the conference. Conference t-shirts Conference t-shirts are available for $20 at the registration desk. Numbers are limited, so buy early to avoid disappointment. Parking Parking is extremely limited around the university. There are free car parks on Kelburn Parade, but the maximum stay is two hours (and in some spots, only five minutes). The wider area surrounding the university is a coupon parking zone. Get your $4.00 parking coupon from Vic Books in the Student Union Building (see campus map). Check what type of zone you are parked in, and the maximum stay. And do not park in residents’ parking zones. The presence of parking wardens is guaranteed! v Transport Walking There are several walking routes from downtown Wellington up to Victoria University. See Wellington City map for Allenby Terrace steps off Boulcott Street, and any roads that lead to The Terrace. From The Terrace, turn into Salamanca Road, this eventually meets Kelburn Parade, which is the main road through the university. Alternatively, take the first left off Salamanca Road (Mount Street), then veer right onto McKenzie Terrace, which is a steep walking path that goes up to the university. Cable car The cable car runs every 10 minutes from Chews Lane, off Lambton Quay. This takes you up to the university (penultimate stop) and to the Botanic Gardens (final stop). Buses Buses run down Kelburn Parade into town. Number 22 and 23 buses go through town to Courtenay Place via Lambton Quay, and number 18 buses go down Ghuznee Street to Taranaki Street, then south. These buses also travel in the opposite direction, taking you back up to the university. Number 17 buses also run (less frequently) between the university and Wellington railway station. Taxis The nearest taxi stand is the corner of Kelburn Pde and Salamanca Rd (see campus map). Or ring Wellington!Combined!Taxis!(04) 384!4444. If you are travelling in a large group, it is often cheaper to book a shuttle bus through Cooperative Shuttles on 387 8787. When booking a taxi or shuttle, the street address for the conference venue is Maclaurin Building, Gate 6, Kelburn Parade.

FORAGING ECOLOGY OF THE WORLD’S ONLY POPULATION OF THE CRITICALLY ENDANGERED TASMAN PARAKEET (CYANORAMPHUS COOKII), ON NORFOLK ISLAND A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Conservation Biology at Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand. Amy Waldmann 2016 The Tasman parakeet (Cyanoramphus cookii) Photo: L. Ortiz-Catedral© ii ABSTRACT I studied the foraging ecology of the world’s only population of the critically endangered Tasman parakeet (Cyanoramphus cookii) on Norfolk Island, from July 2013 to March 2015. I characterised, for the first time in nearly 30 years of management, the diversity of foods consumed and seasonal trends in foraging heights and foraging group sizes. In addition to field observations, I also collated available information on the feeding biology of the genus Cyanoramphus, to understand the diversity of species and food types consumed by Tasman parakeets and their closest living relatives as a function of bill morphology. I discuss my findings in the context of the conservation of the Tasman parakeet, specifically the impending translocation of the species to Phillip Island. I demonstrate that Tasman parakeets have a broad and flexible diet that includes seeds, fruits, flowers, pollen, sori, sprout rhizomes and bark of 30 native and introduced plant species found within Norfolk Island National Park. Dry seeds (predominantly Araucaria heterophylla) are consumed most frequently during autumn (81% of diet), over a foraging area of ca.

Departamento de Ecologia, Instituto de Biociências, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Av. Bento Gonçalves 9500, Bloco IV, Prédio 43422, 91501-970, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. ABSTRACT. Our understanding of the population ecology of insect gallers is largely built on examples from temperate zones, but tropical and subtropical gallers may present distinct patterns of abundance and distribution across time. Eugeniamyia dispar Maia, Mendonça & Romanowski, 1996 is a multivoltine Neotropical cecidomyiid that induces spongy leaf galls on Eugenia uniflora(Myrtaceae). Galls were censused in the urban area of Porto Alegre, southern Brazil on six plants at two sites, for two years, at roughly weekly intervals. Overall 9,694 eggs, galling attempts and galls were counted. New galls continuously appear on developing leaves, but galls with live inducers are absent from June to at least early August. Galls on a same shoot develop synchronically, thus the shoot is probably the unit for oviposition. Given the also synchronic appearance of galls on different plants on a site, it seems midges can disperse and attack close-by plants. Gall cohorts varied in abundance by two orders of magnitude; there were more galls during summer than for spring and autumn, in a wave-like pattern.

    Regional Development Australia - Tasmania RESPONSE TO House of Representatives – Agriculture, Resources, Fisheries and Forestry Committee Growing Australian Forestry — New Inquiry Authors: Craig Perkins and Jen Newman Level of Which Submission Chief Executive Officer Has Been Authorised: Contact: Craig Perkins Position: Chief Executive Officer Return Address: Level 1, 29 Paterson Street, Launceston TAS 7250 Phone Number: 03 6334 9822 Executive Summary This document contains comments addressing the terms of reference of the House of Representatives Inquiry into Growing Australian Forestry. RDA Tasmania has developed a Regional Plan that has identified a number of focus areas in which to channel resources and effort. One of th ese focus areas is industry transition. As such, RDA Tasmania would consider taking an active role, where appropriate, in assisting communities respond to changes and opportunities in their region affected by changes within the forestry sector. RDA Tasmania has had initial consideration of developing plans for communities highlighted as being significantly affected, that take into account their unique comparative advantages and disadvantages. Tailored projects could result from these plans to support the long term viability and prosperity of these co mmunities, including identifying projects and strategies for economic renewal in impacted communities. Prior to any projects being undertaken, communication should occur between all possible stakeholders to ensure that duplication of admission of effort is avoided. Opportunities listed under the dot points below summarise a range of possible activities. Opportunities for and constraints upon production A major constraint on production is the likely removal of native forests as a timber resource. The current Tasmanian “round-table” discussions and the moratorium on the logging of identified high conservation value (HCV) forests will affect the availability of native forest resource.
