• The scaling of population growth of conifer invasions in New Zealand 

  Sprague, Rowan (Lincoln University, 2018-10)

  In ecology, we often want to answer questions about how populations change at broad spatial scales, but we frequently lack data at these scales. To fill this knowledge gap we typically extrapolate from small-scale observations, ...

• Phylogenetic and chemo-ecological aspects effecting the host selection behaviour of the thistle tortoise beetle Cassida rubiginosa 

  Hettiarachchi, Dilani K. (Lincoln University, 2018)

  Most species of insects are selective feeders that not only choose the plant but also choose specific plant organs. Insect host-finding behaviour involves several cues such as olfactory, visual, tactile and gustatory. The ...

• Codenitrification under ruminant urine patch conditions: microbial contributions, substrates and nitrogen flux kinetics 

  Rex, David (Lincoln University, 2018)

  A large fraction of anthropogenic nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions can be traced back to grazed grasslands, where N2O is mainly emitted from livestock-urine affected soils (so called ‘urine patches’). Since N2O is a potent ...

  Despite persistent economic and political volatility in the world, the Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) industry continues to experience popularity and growth since the invention of the first ETF. This growth of the ETF industry ...

• Impacts of selecting sheep for resistance and resilience to gastro-intestinal nematode parasites 

  Hamie, Joseph C. (Lincoln University, 2018)

  This study investigated the impacts of decades of divergent selection for either resistance or resilience to gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) parasite infection in Romney sheep lines and involved a series of three studies. Study ...
