The Comparative Metabolism of Some Substituted Phenyl-N-Methylcarbamate Insecticides

Douch, Philip Geoffrey Charles (Victoria University of Wellington, 1971)

1. The metabolism of the N-methylcarbamates of 3-tertbutylphenol; 3,5-ditertbutylphenol; and 2-isopropoxyphenol was investigated in insects and mammals. 2. The major degradative pathway in enzyme systems from insects and ...
A Comparative Study of Plasma Proteins from Twenty-Nine Species of Albatrosses And Petrels (Order Procellariiformes)

Harper, Peter C (Victoria University of Wellington, 1978)

The plasma proteins of 29 species of albatrosses and petrels were electrophoretically separated in acrylamide gels to clarify relationships at the species-group to family-group levels. Little in the resulting data from 472 ...
A Comparative Study of Pyrenophora Teres Drechs. F. Teres and Pyrenophora Teres Drechs. F. Maculata Smedeg. Cause of "Net" and "Spot" Type Net Blotch Respectively on New Zealand Barley

Carvalho, Daphne Geraldine (Victoria University of Wellington, 1990)

Net blotch is caused by Pyrenophora teres Drechs. (stat. conid. Drechslera teres (Sacc.) Shoem., syn. Helminthosporium teres Sacc). P. teres produces symptoms which appear initially as small necrotic spots and streaks on ...
Comparison of intestinal APC subsets from homeostatic and immunostimulatory environments

Hilligan, Kerry (Victoria University of Wellington, 2014)

Antigen presenting cells (APC) including dendritic cells (DC) play a key role in the initiation and direction of adaptive immune responses. Acting as sentinels in the tissue, DC sample antigen and traffic to the local lymph ...
Conjugations of Carbaryl in Insects

Heenan, Michael Perry (Victoria University of Wellington, 1969)

The conjugation of carbaryl and its initial breakdown products in insects has been examined. Houseflies, blowflies and grass grubs were dosed with [3 H] carbaryl and the water-soluble metabolites examined by a combination ...
The consequences of complex habitat loss for the New Zealand blue cod, Parapercis colias

Wade, Baylee (Victoria University of Wellington, 2020)

Climate driven threats are predicted to decrease the complexity of biogenic habitats. Within temperate coastal marine environments, we know that complex macroalgal beds support more complex communities through the provision ...
Conservation Genetics and Hybridisation of the Forbes’ Parakeet (Cyanoramphus Forbesi) in the Chatham Islands

Chan, Chi-hang (Victoria University of Wellington, 2006)

This study describes the isolation and characterisation of microsatellite loci in Forbes’ parakeet (Cyanoramphus forbesi). These molecular markers are used to assess the status of interspecific hybridisation between Forbes’ ...
Conservation of endemic lizards in New Zealand cities

Woolley, Christopher (Victoria University of Wellington, 2020)

Globally, biodiversity is in crisis. One contributing factor is the rapid urbanisation of the world’s population. Land cover change associated with urbanisation radically alters ecosystems, making them uninhabitable for ...
Conservation on the Frontier: Understanding and Influencing How Cattle Production Impacts Avian Diversity in the Dry Chaco Forests of Argentina

Mastrangelo, Matias Enrique (Victoria University of Wellington, 2014)

This thesis combines the identification of land-use strategies that provide high yields and high biodiversity with the identification of the psycho-social drivers of land-use decisions in an agricultural landscape. I visited ...
Construction and optimization of novel recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus rAAV2/5 for targeting microglia to regulate immune responses during neuroinflammation

Belhoul-Fakir, Hanane (Victoria University of Wellington, 2014)

Activated microglia promote central nervous system (CNS) inflammation through antigen presentation and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Although this activation is necessary to protect the brain ...
The Control of Carbon Translocation in a Sea Anemone-Dinoflagellate Symbiosis from New Zealand

Bock, Tiffany (Victoria University of Wellington, 2008)

Anthopleura aureoradiata, a common sea anemone of New Zealand's intertidal mudflats and rocky shores, hosts symbiotic dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium. This study investigated the control of photosynthetic carbon ...
Coral Bleaching Resistance vs Susceptibility: The Role of Antioxidant Activity in Symbiotic Dinoflagellates

Wietheger, Anne (Victoria University of Wellington, 2012)

Coral bleaching, the loss of symbiotic dinoflagellate algae (genus Symbiodinium) and/or photosynthetic algal pigments from their coral host has become a regular occurrence in the last few decades due to increasing seawater ...
Coral Disease and the Environment in the Pacific Ocean

Williams, Gareth John (Victoria University of Wellington, 2010)

Coral diseases are a major threat to coral reef health and functioning worldwide. Little is known about how coral disease prevalence relates to multiple interacting changes in host densities, abiotic stressors, and levels ...
Coral Reef Viruses in Kane'ohe Bay, Hawai'i: Abundance, Diversity & Environmental Drivers

Arlidge, William N S (Victoria University of Wellington, 2012)

Viruses are a ubiquitous component of coral reef ecosystems, with several viral types, from at least seven prokaryotic and 20 eukaryotic virus families currently characterised from the surface mucopolysaccharide layer ...
Corals and Carbon: The physiological response of a protected deep-sea coral (Solenosmilia variabilis) to ocean acidification

Gammon, Malindi (Victoria University of Wellington, 2016)

Calcifying corals provide important habitat complexity in the deep-sea and are consistently associated with a biodiversity of fish and other invertebrates. Little is understood about how deep-sea corals may respond to ...
Corticosterone secretion in tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus): Influential factors and conservation applications

Anderson, Lindsay Erin (Victoria University of Wellington, 2015)

Animals are regularly exposed to environmental, social and physiological challenges. In reaction to these challenges, individuals adjust their physiology and behaviour to maintain essential processes and optimise fitness. ...
Crawling to connectivity? The direct-developing journey of the spotted whelk (Cominella maculosa)

Dohner, Melanie (Victoria University of Wellington, 2016)

The exchange of individuals between populations influences demographic connectivity on the ecological scale and genetic connectivity on the evolutionary scale. In some circumstances there are similarities between demographic ...
The Crustose Brown Algae of New Zealand: a Taxonomic Study

Buchanan, Joseph (Victoria University of Wellington, 2005)

Nine species of crustose brown algae are described from New Zealand’s coast. Three species are microthalli of species of Scytosiphonaceae: Colpomenia bullosa Yamada, Scytosiphon lomentaria (Lyngbye) Link and Petalonia ...
The Culture and Correlative Electron Microscopy of Pollen Mother Cells in Meiosis: Development of Techniques and Some Observations on Selected Topics
