The aim of this research was to determine the behavior and habitat selection of red deer (Cervus elaphus) hinds during the calving period, on an extensively managed rangeland in the high-country of New Zealand’s South ...
Examining the relationship between biodiversity and land management in mid-altitude tall tussock grasslands
Agricultural expansion is a major threat to the indigenous biodiversity of New Zealand’s tussock grasslands. Options for integrating biodiversity conservation with agricultural management is a topic that requires further ...
Density-dependent breeding site selection in translocated populations South Island Robin and South Island Saddlebacks
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 ...
Development of a non-destructive method to assess vegetation structure and structural diversity of tussock grasslands at a landscape scale
Measurements of vegetation structure (the three dimensional placement of the vegetation biomass) and structural diversity (the number of vegetation layers present and the abundance of vegetation within them) are required ...
