The rise and rise of New Zealand English DRESS

This paper presents an analysis of DRESS and FLEECE in the speech of 80 New Zealanders. We show that DRESS is continuing to raise as part of the New Zealand English front vowels chain shift until it has almost completely overlapped the space occupied by FLEECE. In response, FLEECE is developing a more pronounced on-glide, so that a long vowel is becoming caught up in what has been a short vowel...

Cross-Sectional Analysis of Sediment and Organic Matter from Transects Across the Lower Unchannelized Missouri River

Burrowing seabirds affect forest regeneration, Rangatira Island, Chatham Islands, New Zealand

The forests of Rangatira Island (218 ha) in the Chatham Islands are a critical breeding site for a number of rare and threatened forest bird species, but are also home to more than three million seabirds, which could significantly affect forest regeneration processes. We surveyed the forests of Rangatira Island by establishing 40 permanent forest plots, estimated seabird density through burrow ...

Microbial distribution and activity across a water mass frontal zone in the California Current Ecosystem

Ocean fronts with accumulated biomass and organic matter may be significant sites of enhanced microbial activity. We sampled a frontal region (the A-Front) separating oligotrophic and mesotrophic water masses within the California Current Ecosystem (CCE) to assess the influence of frontal hydrography on several microbial parameters. Samples for heterotrophic bacterial, viral and flagellate abun...
