Potential for biofumigation against soilborne diseases of potato caused by Rhizoctonia solani, and for effects on soil microbial communities
(Lincoln University, 2018)The soilborne diseases of potato (Solanum tuberosum) caused by Rhizoctonia solani (stem canker and tuber black scurf) are important factors limiting yields and quality of intensively managed potato crops in New Zealand. ... -
Insect flower visitors of planted native species within the arable landscape on the Canterbury Plains, New Zealand
(New Zealand Plant Protection Society, 2018-07-26)Almost all of the original native vegetation of Canterbury Plains has been replaced with an arable landscape of managed exotic vegetation. A previous study planted small areas of native trees on arable farms in 2013 to ... -
The molecular phylogeny of the New Zealand endemic genus Hadramphus and the revival of the genus Karocolens
(MDPI, 2018-09)The delineation of species is important to the fields of evolution, ecology and conservation. The use of only a single line of evidence, e.g., morphology or a single gene sequence, may underestimate or overestimate the ... -
Patterns of range size in New Zealand ferns and lycophytes
(New Zealand Ecological Society, 2018)We describe spatial patterns in the geographic ranges of all New Zealand ferns and lycophytes, test if range sizes are correlated with phylogeny, and identify ecological characteristics related to their range sizes. Herbarium ... -
