Book excerpt: Examination of public collections in New Zealand has established the former distribution of three protected beetle species, the Chatham Islands click beetle (Amychus candezei Pascoe), the coxella weevil (Hadramphus spinipennis Broun), and the Pitt Island longhorn beetle (Xylotoles costatus Pascoe). It has shown that there has been a significant contraction in the distribution of all species to the outer predator-free islands of the Chathams group. A field expedition in November and December 1992 was successful in locating all three species and extending the known distribution of A. candezei to Mangere Island. However, only a single specimen of X. costatus was found. One of the main findings of the expedition was the contrast in diversity and abundance of the ground-dwelling insect fauna between the predator-free islands and Chatham and Pitt Islands. This demonstrates what has already been lost from the larger islands of the group and the extent of the problem facing the Pitt Island restoration project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent development of ideas on biodiversity conservation was already being considered almost three-quarters of a century ago for crop plants and the wild species related to them, by the Russian geneticist N.!. Vavilov. He was undoubtedly the first scientist to understand the impor tance for humankind of conserving for utilization the genetic diversity of our ancient crop plants and their wild relatives from their centres of diversity. His collections showed various traits of adaptation to environ mental extremes and biotypes of crop diseases and pests which were unknown to most plant breeders in the first quarter of the twentieth cen tury. Later, in the 1940s-1960s scientists began to realize that the pool of genetic diversity known to Vavilov and his colleagues was beginning to disappear. Through the replacement of the old, primitive and highly diverse land races by uniform modem varieties created by plant breed ers, the crop gene pool was being eroded. The genetic diversity of wild species was equally being threatened by human activities: over-exploita tion, habitat destruction or fragmentation, competition resulting from the introduction of alien species or varieties, changes and intensification of land use, environmental pollution and possible climate change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The computer's metaphorical desktop, with its onscreen windows and hierarchy of folders, is the only digital work environment most users and designers have ever known. Yet empirical studies show that the traditional desktop design does not provide sufficient support for today's real-life tasks involving collaboration, multitasking, multiple roles, and diverse technologies. In Beyond the Desktop Metaphor, leading researchers and developers consider design approaches for a post-desktop future.The contributors analyze the limitations of the desktop environment--including the built-in conflict between access and display, the difficulties in managing several tasks simultaneously, and the need to coordinate the multiple technologies and information objects (laptops, PDAs, files, URLs, email) that most people use daily--and propose novel design solutions that work toward a more integrated digital work environment. They describe systems that facilitate access to information, including Lifestreams, Haystack, Task Factory, GroupBar, and Scalable Fabric, and they argue that the organization of work environments should reflect the social context of work. They consider the notion of activity as a conceptual tool for designing integrated systems, and point to the Kimura and Activity-Based Computing systems as examples.Beyond the Desktop Metaphor is the first systematic overview of state-of-the-art research on integrated digital work environments. It provides a glimpse of what the next generation of information technologies for everyday use may look like--and it should inspire design solutions for users' real-world needs.

Download or read book Assessment of Potential Chatham Island Snipe Habitat on Pitt Island written by Colin Miskelly and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After its 2006 meeting, the Chatham Island Snipe Recovery Group recommended that a habitat assessment of the predator-fenced portion of Ellen Elizabeth Preece Conservation Covenant (EEPCC) on Pitt Island be undertaken to determine its suitability for Chatham Island snipe (Coenocorypha pusilla). Fieldwork was carried out on 19-26 February 2007, both in EEPCC and in Woolshed Bush, Rangatira (South East Island), where snipe are abundant. Soil samples were collected from six matched microhabitats in EEPCC and in Woolshed Bush: beside rotting wood, beside petrel burrows, and beneath sedges, grass, herb mats, and ferns. Invertebrates were hand-sorted from the soil samples and identified to species where possible, and the biomass of soil-dwelling invertebrates (wet weight) was measured for each sample. Total numbers of invertebrates were very similar for the two islands: 2465 for Pitt Island and 2284 for Rangatira. There was also no significant difference between the islands in overall biomass (14.8 g for Pitt Island and 9.7 g for Rangatira) or biomass in any of the six microhabitats, although one microhabitat (soil beside petrel burrows) did have a higher mean number of individuals on Pitt Island than on Rangatira (n = 121 v. 26, respectively), due entirely to large numbers of tiny enchytraeid worms. It was found that there was abundant cover for snipe to nest, roost, and forage in EEPCC. We conclude that EEPCC should provide excellent habitat for Chatham Island snipe. There are no threatened invertebrate species known to be present in EEPCC that would be at risk following snipe introduction.

Book excerpt: Four closely related species of Pisauridae (nurseryweb spiders) are found in New Zealand; three on the mainland and one on the Chatham Islands. All species are endemic to New Zealand and are likely to be related to Australian species. The most common species is Dolomedes minor, found throughout New Zealand in scrubland, grassland, swamps and marshes. Dolomedes aquaticus is found in open riverbeds and stony lakeshores throughout the South Island and in the southern half of the North Island. A new species of Dolomedes is found in shaded riverbeds throughout the mainland. The Chatham Island species, Dolomedes schauinslandi, is nationally endangered due to its restricted range. In this Fauna the genus Dolomedes and all New Zealand species are described, with information on synonymy, type data, material examined, and geographical distribution. Habitus images of adults, illustrations of important structural features, and distribution maps are provided. A key to adults is given. A molecular phylogenetic analysis examining the relationships of New Zealand species in the genus is presented."--Publisher's description.
