Understorey management for the enhancement of populations of a leafroller (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) parasitoid (Dolichogenidea tasmanica (Cameron)) in Canterbury, New Zealand apple orchards
(Lincoln University, 1999)
This study investigated understorey management in Canterbury, New Zealand, apple
orchards for the enhancement of populations of Dolichogenidea tasmanica (Cameron)
(Braconidae) for leafroller (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) ...
Burrow occupancy of broad-billed prions Pachyptila vittata on South East (Rangatira) Island, Chatham Islands, New Zealand
(Lincoln University. Ecology and Entomology Group, 1998)
Competition for breeding burrows between broad-billed prions (Pachyptila vittata) and other small burrowing seabirds on South East (Rangatira) Island, Chatham Islands, New Zealand is intense. This competition has a negative ...
Some aspects of the biology, population dynamics and economic status of Wiseana cervinata (Walker) (Hepialidae: Lepidoptera)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1973)
Entomology, like many other biological disciplines has developed into a quantitative science in nearly all aspects of the subject. Insect ecology is no exception, and in fact, has probably received more attention recently ...
Population dynamics and pest assessment studies of grass grub (Costelytra zealandica (White), Melolonthinae) in the North Island of New Zealand
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1975)
Studies of the common grass grub (Costelytra zealandica (White)) covered two major aspects, population ecology and pest assessment. The object or these studies was to investigate the feasibility of developing models, ...
A study of the growth and development of yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1980)
The response of yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) seedlings to reduced light, interference from barley (Hordeum vulgare) and some aspects of regeneration from rhizomes were the subject of investigations from 1976 until 1980. ...
Applied ecology of the Tasmanian lacewing Micromus tasmaniae Walker (Neuroptera : Hemerodiidae)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1989)
The Tasmanian lacewing (Micromus tasmaniae Walker) is one of the most common
aphid predators occurring in lucerne crops in New Zealand. A comparison of sampling
techniques, and the output from a simulation model, suggest ...
Factors affecting the establishment, growth and survival of native woody plant communities on the Canterbury Plain, New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 1999)
The native plant communities of Canterbury, South Island, New Zealand have been severely
modified and degraded and the Canterbury Plain (750,000 ha) retains few remnants of its
original forest and other ecosystems. The ...
Insects associated with the lupin (Lupinus angustifolius) cultivars Fest and Uniharvest
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1980)
The insect fauna of two Lupinus angustifolius
cultivars (Fest and Uniharvest) was surveyed between
October, 1978 and March, 1979. The main sampling
methods were sweepnetting, use of the D-Vac, and pod removal. Glasshouse ...
Translocatable resistance to mercuric and phenylmercuric ions in soil bacteria
(American Society for Microbiology, 1981-09)
Of a sample of 42 gram-negative Hg-resistant bacteria, three (a Pseudomonas fluorescens, a Klebsiella sp. and a Citrobacter sp.) contained translocatable elements conferring resistance to Hg²⁺ (all three) and to Hg²⁺ and ...
The impact of selective beech (Nothofagus spp.) harvest on litter-dwelling invertebrates and the process of litter decomposition
(Lincoln University, 1999)
Minimising the potential impact of forest management requires an understanding of the key elements that maintain forest diversity and its role in ecological processes. Invertebrates are the most diverse of all biota and ...
