Distribution and diet of chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) in Westland forests, South Island, New Zealand
Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) are usually considered an alpine species in New Zealand, but also occur in forests in areas such as Westland. A postal survey of commercial helicopter-based hunters indicated that chamois are present within Westland forests from timberline to sea level and are most abundant within an area of about 1600 km extending from the Wanganui River in the north to the Karang...
متن کاملLiane Distribution within Native Forest Remnants in Two Regions of the South Island, New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Ecology (1998) 22(1): 71-85 ©New Zealand Ecological Society Availability of suitably-sized support is a major factor limiting liane access to the canopy because lianes are not self-supporting (Putz and Holbrook, 1991). In the Knysna Forest, South Africa, aspects of forest architecture which affect support availability, rather than abiotic factors such as light levels and ...
متن کاملDistribution and forage use of exotic bumblebees in South Island, New Zealand
The rapid decline in bumblebee populations within Europe has been linked to habitat loss through agricultural intensification, and a consequential reduction in the availability of preferred forage plants. The successful introduction of four European Bombus species to the South Island of New Zealand from England (in 1885 and 1906) provides an opportunity to determine how important different fora...
متن کاملChanges in absolute gravity 2000–2015, South Island, New Zealand
We quantify changes in gravity that have occurred over the past 15 years at 14 points between latitudes 42.5°S and 44°S in the South Island of New Zealand. Ten of the points form two transects across the Southern Alps and four lie in the epicentral region of the 2010 Canterbury earthquakes. At each location gravity was measured using an absolute gravimeter (FG5–111) with a nominal accuracy of 1...
متن کاملBeech and Conifer Community Interactions in Moawhango Ecological Region, North Island, New Zealand
Relict forests within tussock grassland and abundant subsoil charcoal indicate that prior to Polynesian conflagrations, conifer forests dominated by kaikawaka covered the upper montane plateaux in Moawhango Ecological Region. Much forest remains in peripheral districts where the plateaux border the encircling Kaimanawa, Kaweka and Ruahine greywacke uplands; in these districts, beech forest of t...
