Factors influencing the occurrence of stinging jellyfish (Physalia spp.) at New Zealand beaches
(Lincoln University, 2009)
Individuals of the cnidarian genus Physalia are a common sight at New Zealand beaches and are the primary cause of jellyfish stings to beachgoers each year. The identity of the species and the environmental factors that ...
The effect of floral resources on the leafroller (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) parasitoid Dolichogenidea tasmanica (Cameron)(Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in selected New Zealand vineyards
(Lincoln University, 2002)
In this study, buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) and alyssum (Lobularia
maritima (L.)) flowers were used to examine the effect of floral resources on the efficacy
of the leafroller parasitoid Dolichogenidea tasmanica ...
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 ...
The role of resource subsidies in enhancing biological control of aphids by hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae)
(Lincoln University, 2007)
In this thesis, experiments were conducted in the laboratory and the field to determine
whether the provision of floral resources to hoverflies could enhance the biological
control of aphids. The overall aim was to clarify ...
Proteomics of the ovine cataract
(Lincoln University, 2008)
The lens of the eye needs to be completely transparent in order to allow all light entering the eye to reach the retina. This transparency is maintained by the highly ordered structure of the lens proteins the crystallins. ...
Grapevine rhizosphere bacteria: influence of diversity and function on two root diseases
(Lincoln University, 2009)
The overall goal of this research was to determine what, if any, role grapevine rhizosphere bacteria play in the differing susceptibilities of New Zealand grown rootstocks to Cylindrocarpon black foot disease. The size and ...
The ovine lens cytoskeleton
(Lincoln University, 2007)
The lens of the eye is a vital tissue in the visual system, responsible for the collection and focusing of light on to the retina. Comprised of epithelial cells at differing stages of differentiation, the transparency of ...
Biochemistry and genetics of carotenoid composition in potato tubers
(Lincoln University, 2009)
Potato cultivars exhibit a wide variation in skin and flesh colour due to the presence of pigments. This study established that potato cultivars differ greatly with respect to types and concentrations of carotenoids in ...
The role of antioxidants in the hydrogen peroxide-induced opacification of sheep lens
(Lincoln University, 2006)
The lens of the eye needs to be transparent with a high refractive index to focus images on the retina. In cataracts the lens becomes opaque, eventually leading to blindness. There are many possible causes of cataract but ...
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, ...
