Population genomic analysis of Mahoenui giant wētā ( <i>Deinacrida mahoenui</i> ) reveals minimal reduction in genomic diversity following translocation Open
The Mahoenui giant wētā (MGW), Deinacrida mahoenui (Insecta: Orthoptera), is an Aotearoa New Zealand endemic insect of conservation concern. Conservation management of this species includes a history of translocation to reduce extinction r…

Status of forest remnants invaded by tradescantia ( <i>Tradescantia fluminensis</i> Vell.) following introduction of biocontrol beetles and manual clearance after three years Open
We compared biocontrol beetles and manual clearing of tradescantia in forest remnants invaded by tradescantia (Tradescantia fluminensis Vell.) on the agriculturally modified Hikurangi floodplain, northern New Zealand, to inform best practi…

Do mice matter? Impacts of house mice alone on invertebrates, seedlings and fungi at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari Open
The advent of mammal-resistant fences has allowed multi-species eradications of mammals from ecosanctuaries on the New Zealand mainland.However, maintaining eradication of house mice (Mus musculus) has proven difficult, and at some fenced …

Effects of lowered water table and agricultural practices on a remnant restiad bog over four decades Open
Peatlands are important contributors to global biodiversity, yet drainage and land management practices continue to affect many. We studied changes in a 114-ha raised bog remnant in northern New Zealand by assessing the vegetation and peat…

Invertebrate communities in a modified isolated raised bog compared to an intact raised bog in New Zealand Open
The effect of modifying New Zealand’s threatened peat bogs on invertebrate communities is poorly known, despite their susceptibility to disturbance and their ecological significance. Using Malaise traps, we surveyed and compared terrestria…

Population expansion by Cook Strait giant wētā, Deinacrida rugosa (Orthoptera: Anostostomatidae), following translocation to Matiu/Somes Island, New Zealand, and subsequent changes in abundance Open
Wētā, large wingless anostostomatid orthopterans, have been the most frequently translocated insects in New Zealand. Until recently, such translocations were only monitored intermittently to confirm presence. We investigate the spread of C…
