Climate change alters the extent and structure of sea-ice environments, which affects how they function as a habitat for polar species. Identifying characteristics that serve indicators quality will be crucial to monitoring management climate impacts. In Southern Ocean, Antarctic krill is key prey species fishery target. Krill larvae depend upon habitats survive winter recruit population in spr...

The New Zealand flower thrips, (Thrips obscuratus Crawford) can damage nectarines, with both adults and larvae feeding on developing fruitlets. As T. obscuratus does not overwinter in Central Otago, it is thought that adults are carried on air currents from Canterbury in spring. We investigated if influxes of thrips as detected by sticky board catches over three seasons could be related to envi...
