Seafloor pockmarks are abundant around Aotearoa New Zealand, occurring across a diverse range of tectonic, sedimentological and geomorphological settings. Globally, the formation and source of pockmarks is widely researched because they: 1) have potential links to subsurface hydrocarbon systems, 2) can provide important habitats for benthic organisms and 3) may be indications of fluid escape pathways or areas of sediment distu...

Fresh submarine groundwater discharge (FSGD) influences the biogeochemistry of coastal areas and can be a proxy for potential untapped resources of offshore freshened groundwater (OFG). In most areas however, the onshore-offshore connection and the recharge characteristics of offshore aquifers are poorly constrained, making a potential exploitation of this resource challenging. Offshore Wellington (New Zealand), a well-defined...

Low‐vagility species may hold strong genetic signatures of past biogeographical processes but are also vulnerable to habitat loss. Flightless grasshoppers of the morabine group were once widespread in southeastern Australia, including Tasmania, but are becoming restricted to remnant patches of vegetation, with local ranges impacted by agriculture and development as well as management. Habitat fragmentation can generate genetic...
