We review the major phylogeographic patterns in Aotearoa New Zealand's terrestrial flora
and fauna that have been associated with the Ōtira Glaciation of the Pleistocene, the end of …

Alpine zones are threatened globally by invasive species, hunting, and habitat loss caused
by fire, anthropogenic development and climate change. These global threats are pertinent …

Invertebrates are a major component of terrestrial ecosystems, however, estimating their
biodiversity is challenging. We compiled an inventory of invertebrate biodiversity along an …

Why do some genera radiate, whereas others do not? The genetic structure of present-day
populations can provide clues for developing hypotheses. In New Zealand, three Cicadidae …

Biogeography and Evolution in New Zealand provides the first in-depth treatment of the
biogeography of New Zealand, a region that has been a place of long-enduring interest to …

The effects of land use on soil invertebrates–an important ecosystem component–are poorly
understood. We investigated land-use impacts on a comprehensive range of soil …

Terrestrial ecosystems of the long-isolated former Gondwanan landmass of New Zealand
are hotspots of modern global biodiversity, based on the level of endemism and …

New Zealand is an island continent that completed its split from the Gondwanan continent at
52 Ma, harbouring an iconic biota of tuatara, kiwi and weta. The sooty mould community is a …

The insect superfamily Psylloidea (Hemiptera) includes economically important biocontrol
agents, pests and plant pathogen vectors, for which a rapid and accurate identification is …

High throughput DNA sequencing technology has enabled entire biological communities to
be characterised from DNA derived from pools of organisms, such as bulk-collected …
