The Diet of the North Island Kaka (nestor Meridionalis Septentrionalis) on Kapiti Island
New Zealand Journal of Ecology (1997) 21(2): 141-152 ©New Zealand Ecological Society spp.), and rats (Rattus spp.), may also be contributing to the decline of kaka by reducing the birds’ productivity (Beggs and Wilson, 1991). A significant competitive interaction with possums is suggested by the fact that kaka remain common in the South Island only where possum densities are relatively low (O’D...
متن کاملSex Ratio of North Island Kaka (nestor Meridionalis Septentrionalis), Waihaha Ecological Area, Pureora Forest Park
New Zealand Journal of Ecology (1998) 22(1): 11-16 ©New Zealand Ecological Society The apparent imbalance in the sex ratio may have been a reflection of methods used to capture birds, but if it is real, it suggests that female kaka might suffer much higher mortality, possibly associated with nesting behaviours, than do males. The long-term effects on this population will be serious. Disproporti...

Conflict has recently begun to emerge with Wellington City residents due to tree damage caused by kākā sap foraging.

متن کاملEnergetics of South Island Kaka (nestor Meridionalis Meridionalis) Feeding on the Larvae of Kanuka Longhorn Beetles (ochrocydus Huttoni)
Kaka (Nestor meridionalis meridionalis) studied in Big Bush State Forest spent 35% of their feeding time digging out Ochrocydus huttoni larvae from live mountain beech trunks (Nothofagus solandri var. cliffortioides). Larvae of O. huttoni had a high energy value compared to that of other insects. The assimilation efficiency for energy of two captive kaka was 91 j: 3% when fed a diet of O. hut/o...
متن کاملLarval spirurida (Nematoda) from the crab Macrophthalmus hirtipes in New Zealand.
Previously undescribed third-stage larvae of two species of Spirurida were found in the haemocoel of the stalk-eyed mud crab Macrophthalmus hirtipes (Heller) (Ocypodidae) in New Zealand. Examinations by light and scanning electron microscopy showed that the larger larvae (about 7 mm long) belonged to a species of Ascarophis van Beneden, 1871 (Cystidicolidae), the genus including parasites of fi...
