Aspects of the population biology of the southern arrow squid, Nototodarus sloanii, in southern New Zealand

McKinnon, Jean Fiona (University of Otago, 2007)
Nototodarus sloanii is an important component of the Southern Ocean fauna, and the basis of a large commercial fishery. Despite this, much is unknown about the biology of this species. This study examines some aspects of ...
New Zealand sea lion abundance, demographics and movements in southern New Zealand

McNally, Nathan Colin Wheeler (University of Otago, 2001)
This study represents the first comprehensive survey of the New Zealand sea lion, Phocarctos hookeri populations at Campbell Island, the first surveys in nearly 30 years at The Snares and the continuation of a monitoring ...
The onset of Rayleigh and Marangoni interfacial instability and their effects on penetration mass transfer across a moving interface

Fahmy, Muthasim
Interfacial convection due to the Rayleigh effect and the Marangoni effect can enhance mass transfer rates between fluids and is of importance to industrial engineering applications such as gas-liquid absorption and ...
Conservation biology of bottlenose dolphins in Fiordland, New Zealand

Currey, Rohan J. C. (University of Otago, 2008)
The bottlenose dolphins of Fiordland, New Zealand, live at the southern limit of the species’ worldwide range. They are exposed to impacts from tourism and habitat modification, particularly in Doubtful Sound, and their ...
Movement coordination in a discrete multiarticular action from a dynamical systems perspective

Rein, Robert (University of Otago, 2007)
Dynamical systems theory represents a prominent theoretical framework for the investigation of movement coordination and control in complex neurobiological systems. Central to this theory is the investigation of pattern ...
Traditional ecological knowledge and harvest management of Titi (Puffinus griseus) by Rakiura Māori

Kitson, Jane C (University of Otago, 2006)
Rakiura Māori continue a centuries old harvest of titi chicks (sooty shearwater, Puffinus griseus) which is governed primarily by Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK). The sustainability of titi harvesting is of high ...
The effect of spatial population structure on levels of genetic variation

Star, Bastiaan; Spencer, Hamish G
A vast amount of genetic variation is a striking hallmark of natural populations, and is vital to the adaptation and long-term survival of a species. Just why this variation is there, however, is unclear: the two most ...
Heat Losses and Gains in Residential Housing in Southern New Zealand

Bishop, Timothy Wyman (University of Otago, 2009)
The majority (70%) of houses in New Zealand were originally built before energy efficiency regulation came into force. Since the first standard was introduced in 1977, methods for controlling heat loss in new builds have ...
The female reproductive cycle of a viviparous skink, Oligosoma maccanni, in a subalpine environment

Holmes, Karina (University of Otago, 2004)
The majority of New Zealand's endemic reptiles that have been studied with respect to patterns of reproduction show low rates of annual reproductive output, with extended gestation and great longevity. A well-studied example ...
Density-dependent breeding site selection in translocated populations South Island Robin and South Island Saddlebacks

Michel, Pascale; Whigham, Peter A; Dickinson, Katharine; Jamieson, Ian
Reintroduction of threatened species to predator-free offshore islands has long been advocated in New Zealand as a prime management tool for conservation. They also provide a good experimental framework to investigate ...
