A checklist collating records of New Zealand’s benthic and epiphytic dinoflagellate species was published on‐line in 2018 [Rhodes L, Smith KF. 2019. A checklist of the benthic and epiphytic marine dinoflagellates of New Zealand, including Rangitāhua/Kermadec Islands. N Z J Mar Freshw Res. 53:258–277. doi: 10.1080/00288330.2018.1492425 ]. Over the last six years, seventeen species from nine genera (three newly reported genera)...
Exploring the risks and benefits of flexibility in biodiversity offset location in a case study of migratory shorebirdsNARA Subscribed
Biodiversity offsets aim to counterbalance the residual impacts of development on species and ecosystems. Guidance documents explicitly recommend that biodiversity offset actions be located close to the location of impact because of higher potential for similar ecological conditions, but allowing greater spatial flexibility has been proposed. We examined the circumstances under which offsets distant from the impact location co...
Molecular‐based approaches for harmful algal bloom species, which can be difficult to identify by light microscopy, are important tools for detecting and predicting the blooms. In this study, 84 samples from Aotearoa/New Zealand coastal waters that contained Azadinium ‐like cells were analysed using an Amphidomataceae real‐time PCR assay. Nineteen samples were positive, and 24 Azadinium ‐like clonal isolates were established f...
The global abundance of tree palmsNARA Subscribed
Aim Palms are an iconic, diverse and often abundant component of tropical ecosystems that provide many ecosystem services. Being monocots, tree palms are evolutionarily, morphologically and physiologically distinct from other trees, and these differences have important consequences for ecosystem services (e.g., carbon sequestration and storage) and in terms of responses to climate change. We quantified global patterns of tree...
