Biocultural Hysteresis Inhibits Adaptation to Environmental Change
Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLC) often use natural resources as both a reason and mechanism for environmental management, yet a number of environmental, social,…

The association between mitochondrial genetic variation and reduced colony fitness in an invasive wasp
Despite the mitochondrion’s long-recognized role in energy production, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation commonly found in natural populations was assumed to be effectively neutral. However, variation…

The Vulgar Wasp: The story of a ruthless invader and ingenious predator
In this book, entomologist Phil Lester describes the many fascinating and lesser-known sides of the common wasp. He asks: how can we manage wasps? Can…

Opportunities and limitations for DNA metabarcoding in Australasian plant-pathogen biosecurity
Protecting plants from new pathogen incursions requires effective surveillance practices. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding shows considerable promise for detecting invasive organisms in terrestrial and aquatic…

Evaluation of a traditional Māori harvesting method for sampling kōura (freshwater crayfish, Paranephrops planifrons) and toi toi (bully, Gobiomorphus spp.) populations in two New Zealand streams
Representative sampling of crayfish in streams is often impractical, especially in non-wadable habitats, or in areas with soft substrates. Whakaweku are artificial habitats made from…

Protected land: Threat of invasive species
A letter written and published in response to the report “One -third of global protected land is under intense human pressure”, discussing that the index…
