Eradication of stoats ( Mustela erminea ) from Secretary Island , New Zealand
Stoats (Mustelia erminea) are known to be good swimmers. Following their liberation into New Zealand, stoats reached many of the remote coastal islands of Fiordland after six years. Stoats probably reached Secretary Island (8140 ha) in the late 1800s. Red deer (Cervus elaphus) are the only other mammalian pest present on Secretary Island; surprisingly, rodents have never established. The signif...

Since performance is not a factor in structuring variation , patterns of similarity across stylistic c...
متن کاملTephra beds in deep-sea cores off northern New Zealand: implications for the history of Taupo Volcanic Zone, Mayor Island and White Island volcanoes

They contain tephra from 11 Okataina Volcanic Centre and 4 Taupo Volcanic Centre rhyolite eruptions during the last ∼50 kyr that produce a tephrostratigraphic framework across the tectonically and volcanically complex region of southern Havre Trough, Alderman Trough and th...

It supports native coastal communities representative of the region and already has nationally threatened plants and animals.

متن کاملStrategies for Obtaining Obsidian in Pre-European Contact Era New Zealand
