Diet of Feral Goats and Feral Pigs on Auckland Island, New Zealand
The diets of feral pigs and feral goats shot on the main Auckland Island in 1989 are described from analyses of stomach and rumen contents. Feral goats ate at least 50 species of plants, but only three, Metrosideros umbellata, Chionochloa antarctica, and Durvillea antarctica made up over 50% by dried weight of the food eaten. Feral pigs ate a mixed plant and animal diet, of which plants made up...
متن کاملCharacteristics of tobacco retailers in New Zealand.
Using data on known tobacco outlets throughout NZ, GIS was used to map outlets, deprivation and secondary schools. A total of 5008 tobacco outlets were identified, giving a density of one outlet per 617 people or one outlet per 129 smokers. One-half of secondary schools had an outlet within 500 m. Tobacco outlets were more densely located in areas of higher socioeconomic deprivation. One third ...
متن کاملIdentification of pig circovirus type 2 in New Zealand pigs.
Interest in porcine circovirus has been stimulated by the recent emergence of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) in pigs and the potential use of pig organs for xenotransplantation in humans. Porcine circovirus type 1 (PCV1) is considered to be widespread in pigs but nonpathogenic. Circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a similar virus but has been differentiated only recently as a separate...
متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of feline immunodeficiency virus in feral and companion domestic cats of New Zealand.
Nested PCR was used to amplify envelope V3-V6 gene fragments of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) from New Zealand cats. Phylogenetic analyses established that subtypes A and C predominate among New Zealand cats, with clear evidence of intersubtype recombination. In addition, 17 sequences were identified that were distinct from all known FIV clades, and we tentatively suggest these belong to ...
متن کاملIndices of Density of Feral Goats in a Grassland/forest Habitat, Marlborough, New Zealand
Hourly kill-rates and encounter-rates for hunters of feral goats (Capra hircus) provided linear indices of goat population size in a 638 ha area of forest and grasslands in Marlborough. The goat population of about 108 animals was reduced to near zero in 105 hours of hunting effort on 11 days at a cost of about $8.20 ha. However, goats from the surrounding areas soon recolonised the study area ...
