Conservation issues are often complicated by sociopolitical controversies that reflect competing philosophies and values regarding natural systems, animals, people. Effective conservation outcomes require managers to engage myriad influences (social, cultural, political, economic, as well ecological). The contribution of scientists who generate the information on which solutions rely is constrained if they unable acknowledge how personal disciplinary paradigms influence their research...
The Canterbury Region of New Zealand has undergone rapid and significant land use intensification over the last three decades resulting in a substantial increase nitrate-nitrogen leached to environment. In this article, we determined nitrate grey water footprint milk, which is amount needed dilute nitrogen past root zone meet different receiving standards per milk production unit. Our analysis revealed for ranged from 433 11,110 litres litre depending on applied. This higher than many...
New Zealand’s freshwater ecosystems support a diverse and unique array of endemic flora fauna. However, the conservation its biodiversity is often overlooked in comparison to terrestrial marine environments, under increasing threat from agricultural intensification, urbanisation, climate change, invasive species, water abstraction. Zealand has some highest levels threatened species world with, for example, up 74% native fish listed as endangered or at risk. Threatened are discounted policy...
Abstract Rigorous scientific practice relies on the tenet of transparency. However, despite regular transparency in areas such as data availability and methodological practice, influence personal professional values research design dissemination is often not disclosed or discussed conservation science. Conservation scientists are increasingly driven to work collaboration with communities where their takes place, which raises important questions about process, especially field remains largely...
ABSTRACT For many ecosystems, feral horses are increasingly becoming an important if not dominant component of ungulate biomass and hence influence on community dynamics. Yet we still know little how contribute to key ecological interactions including predator‐prey indirect competitive relationships at a level. Notably, species like can exhibit life‐history traits that differ from native (mainly artiodactyl) herbivore competitors. Artificial selection for increased, early, or extended...
