Management of introduced mammals in New Zealand

The results led to the importation and testing of C. rubecula in quarantine in New Zealand where its specificity to the genus Pieris was confirmed. Introduction of the parasitoid was approved and the s...
متن کاملInteractions between Native and Introduced Bees in New Zealand

There has been no competition between native and introduced species, either for food or for living space. All but subsoil species among the native earthworms have died out before the introduced lumbricids became established, and the few subsoil earthworms that have re...
