Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Community‐based monitoring of freshwaters (a form of citizen science) is an area of growing interest globally. It could be used to augment professional monitoring in New Zealand, as is done in other countries, if the agreement between volunteer and professional assessments is close enough. We compared volunteer benthic macroinvertebrate data with professional data from parallel monitoring over 18 months at 8 sites across New Z...
Oviposition site selectivity of some New Zealand aquatic macroinvertebrate taxa and implications for stream restorationNARA Subscribed
In many stream restoration projects, macroinvertebrates characteristic of natural conditions do not return despite habitat improvements. One contributing factor may be lack of oviposition sites for some taxa. To understand oviposition requirements of five taxa, we investigated their egg mass distributions on rocks in streams in the Waikato region, New Zealand. We compared insect taxa with aerial adults (caddisfly families Hydr...
Genetic structure of Melanotaenia australis at local and regional scales in the east Kimberley, Western AustraliaNARA Subscribed
The Kimberley region of Western Australia possesses a poorly studied freshwater fish fauna with high endemism in an aquatic landscape subject to monsoonal floods and dry season isolation. In the first population genetic study of freshwater fish in this region, the authors tested the effects of geographic barriers on genetic structure at multiple spatial scales in east Kimberley populations of the western rainbowfish, Melanotae...
