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. ...
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 ...
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, ...
Enhancing the biological control of leafrollers (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) using floral resource subsidies in an organic vineyard in Marlborough, New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2005)
In this thesis, experiments were conducted in both the laboratory and the field to determine whether the provision of floral resources to Dolichogenidea tasmanica Cameron (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) could enhance the biological ...
Coexistence, dynamics and disturbance history of mixed conifer, beech, and hardwood forest, north Westland
(Lincoln University, 2000)
Mixed conifer, beech and hardwood forests are relatively common in Aotearoa/New
Zealand, but are not well studied. This thesis investigates the coexistence, regeneration
dynamics and disturbance history of a mixed species ...
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. ...
Phaeomoniella chlamydospora: potential inoculum sources in the grapevine propagation process
(Lincoln University, 2004)
Phaeomoniella chlamydospora is a recently described fungal pathogen that infects grapevines causing Petri disease, which is observed externally as a general decline. The objective of this research programme was to identify ...
