(Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012)The distribution and abundance of fish species is influenced by a range of environmental variables. Information on driving factors in that determines fish habitat use, abundance and distribution is crucial for fisheries ... -
(Thesis, Master of Science Communication, 2011)Globalization is a unifying force spreading a predominantly neoliberal culture that is eradicating the world’s cultural diversity. It is directed by transnational powers, notably states and corporations, largely networking ... -
Parasitism in a changing world: The intertidal trematode Maritrema novaezealandensis and its hosts (Thesis, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011)There is growing concern about increases in diseases and parasitism with on-going and predicted global climate changes in many ecosystems, including marine ecosystems. Understanding and predicting the possible consequences ... -

(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)Environmental heterogeneity has long been considered a likely explanation for the high levels of genetic variation found in most natural populations: selection in a spatially heterogeneous environment can maintain more ... -
(Thesis, Master of Science, 2011)Understanding factors that influence the abundance of native lizards in ecosystems modified by invasive species is important, as today these ecosystems are globally abundant. Relationships between vegetation composition, ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 15th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2003: Land, Place and Space), 2003)Prevailing theory suggests that many parasite species have evolved in tight congruence with their hosts, with the parasite phylogeny mirroring that of the host. This theory is based largely on studies of host-parasite ... -
