Ian Atkinson was one of the most versatile ecologists ever to work on our shores, an original thinker and true allrounder whose broad scope covered plants, animals, and soils. A generalist of the old school rather than a narrowly focussed specialist, his career was notable for collaboration with experts in a variety of fields and for lasting contributions to vegetation mapping, soil mapping, volcanic succession, introduced rodent ecology, mammal-plant interactions, island ecology, and restoration ecology. A stalwart of the New Zealand Ecological Society, he held a number of offices, serving as Secretary 1960–1962, Vice-President 1965 and 1983–1985 and President 1985–1987, and he was also a longtime Councillor from 1962 till 1983. He was made a Life Member in 2001. Ian was born of English parents Leonard Gray Atkinson (1894–1965) and Winifred Atkinson née Goddard (1904–1994) in Hamilton on 6 October 1932. His father, an electrical draughtsman, had arrived here from London in 1924 to work for the Public Works Department, helping design Arapuni Power Station, the first in a long line of hydro-electric plants built by the government on the Waikato River. Leonard went Ian Atkinson on a family holiday on Big Island, Hawaii, 17 July 2007. (Photo: Cynthia Petersen).
伊恩·阿特金森是在我们海岸工作过的最多才多艺的生态学家之一,他是一个有独创性的思想家,也是一个真正的全才,他的广泛研究范围涵盖了植物、动物和土壤。他是一个老派的通才,而不是一个狭隘的专家,他的职业生涯以与各个领域的专家合作而闻名,并在植被制图、土壤制图、火山演替、引入啮齿动物生态学、哺乳动物-植物相互作用、岛屿生态学和恢复生态学方面做出了持久的贡献。作为新西兰生态学会的坚定支持者,他曾担任多个职位,1960-1962年担任秘书长,1965年和1983 - 1985年担任副主席,1985-1987年担任主席,1962年至1983年担任长期议员。他于2001年成为终身会员。Ian于1932年10月6日出生在汉密尔顿,父母是英国人Leonard Gray Atkinson(1894-1965)和Winifred Atkinson nsame Goddard(1904-1994)。他的父亲是一名电气绘图员,1924年从伦敦来到这里,为公共工程部工作,帮助设计阿拉普尼发电站,这是政府在怀卡托河上建造的一长串水力发电厂中的第一个。2007年7月17日,伦纳德和伊恩·阿特金森全家去夏威夷大岛度假。(图片来源:Cynthia Petersen)。

: Biodiversity conservation in Aotearoa New Zealand is of high importance, and efforts to protect vulnerable populations from decline has garnered broad public support. Conservation efforts have been further highlighted with the 2016 announcement of Predator Free 2050, a nationwide goal to eliminate key invasive mammalian predators from New Zealand by the year 2050. Hands-on labour is often needed to complete conservation initiatives, and New Zealand conservation volunteers have shown themselves to be an abundant, effective, and oft-used workforce. However, there is limited knowledge of conservation volunteers on a national scale. This exploratory research aimed to determine what motivates conservation volunteers in New Zealand, gauge their attitudes toward modern-day conservation, and summarise their demographic information. Through a nationwide survey of 986 New Zealand conservation volunteers in 2018, we found that they have a higher than median age, income, education, and are predominantly Pākehā/NZ European and likely retired. The median conservation volunteer has volunteered within 10 km of home for 10 hours a month for 6 years. The conservation and cultural context in New Zealand could be reflected in volunteer motivations and attitudes. New Zealand conservation volunteers are motivated by a feeling of responsibility, with some referencing the Māori concept of kaitiakitanga. There were elements of wanting to right past wrongs and volunteers’ perceived role as stewards of their local environment. Conservation volunteers overwhelmingly agree with the stated goals of Predator Free 2050 and are in favour of current and potential future methods of pest control. They are, however, significantly less confident that Predator Free 2050 goals will be achieved. Conservation volunteers contribute to goals like Predator Free 2050 through their significant voluntary labour. We hope this research contributes to a better understanding of conservation volunteers in New Zealand and leads to strengthening the support for these volunteers and the many community groups they represent.
新西兰奥特罗阿的生物多样性保护非常重要,保护脆弱种群免于减少的努力得到了广泛的公众支持。2016年宣布的“2050年无捕食者”(Predator Free 2050)进一步突显了保护工作,这是一项全国性目标,旨在到2050年消除新西兰主要的入侵性哺乳动物捕食者。要完成保护倡议,往往需要动手劳动,新西兰的保护志愿者已经证明自己是一支丰富、有效和经常使用的劳动力队伍。然而,在全国范围内,对保护志愿者的了解有限。这项探索性研究旨在确定新西兰保护志愿者的动机,衡量他们对现代保护的态度,并总结他们的人口统计信息。通过2018年对986名新西兰保护志愿者的全国调查,我们发现他们的年龄、收入、教育程度都高于中位数,主要是Pākehā/新西兰欧洲人,可能已经退休。中位数的环保志愿者在6年里每月在离家10公里的地方做10小时的志愿者。新西兰的保护和文化背景可以反映在志愿者的动机和态度上。新西兰的环保志愿者们被一种责任感所激励,一些人参考了Māori kaitiakitanga的概念。其中有想要纠正过去错误的因素,以及志愿者作为当地环境管理者的角色。保护志愿者绝大多数同意2050年无捕食者的既定目标,并支持当前和未来潜在的害虫控制方法。然而,他们对2050年实现无捕食者目标的信心明显下降。保护志愿者通过他们重要的志愿劳动为实现“2050年无捕食者”这样的目标做出了贡献。我们希望这项研究有助于更好地了解新西兰的保护志愿者,并加强对这些志愿者和他们所代表的许多社区团体的支持。

: Monitoring breeding outcomes of cryptic nocturnal species such as the North Island brown kiwi ( Apteryx mantelli ) is an important aim for conservation management in New Zealand. While fitting male kiwi with radio transmitters enables incubation burrows to be found and monitored, it is invasive and expensive. Remote monitoring methods (without handling of birds) are preferable. Here we investigate the extent to which it is practical to find North Island brown kiwi incubation burrows based on remote monitoring, motivated by anecdotal reports that incubating males call close to their incubation burrow on first emergence. We test this observation, and then use it to demonstrate how a combination of acoustic recorders, human listening, and trail cameras can be deployed to locate the burrow with minimal disturbance, based on the male’s first call of the night. Our analysis of an incubating brown kiwi male’s first call in the evening as a function of distance from the burrow shows that for more than half the time monitored he called within 10 minutes of leaving his burrow and that on these nights, he was usually less than 35 m from it. Along with backtracking of kiwi footsteps, this enables the localisation of the burrow. We outline a workflow for the method based on our experience and discuss how it can be made more efficient and usable in the future. Our method facilitates the finding of nests, and hence of chicks, without the need for adult kiwi to be fitted with transmitters
监测北岛褐几维(Apteryx mantelli)等暗夜活动物种的繁殖结果是新西兰保护管理的一个重要目标。虽然给雄性几维鸟安装无线电发射器可以发现和监测孵化洞穴,但它是侵入性的,而且价格昂贵。远程监测方法(不处理禽鸟)是可取的。在这里,我们调查了在远程监测的基础上找到北岛棕色几维孵化洞穴的实际程度,其动机是轶事报道,孵化雄性在第一次出现时呼叫靠近它们的孵化洞穴。我们测试了这一观察结果,然后用它来演示如何结合声学记录仪、人类听力和跟踪摄像机,根据雄性蜣螂夜间的第一次叫声,在最小的干扰下定位洞穴。我们分析了一只孵化中的棕色几维雄鸟在晚上的第一次叫声与离洞穴的距离的关系,结果表明,在我们监测的时间里,有一半以上的时间它在离开洞穴的10分钟内发出叫声,而且在这些夜晚,它通常离洞穴不到35米。随着几维鸟足迹的回溯,这使得洞穴的定位成为可能。根据我们的经验,我们概述了该方法的工作流程,并讨论了如何在未来使其更有效和可用。我们的方法有助于找到巢穴,因此雏鸟,而不需要成年几维鸟安装发射器

Urban reserves have the potential to retain relatively high biodiversity. However, populations of the taxa within them can have reduced genetic diversity and, if gene flow between populations is inhibited by urbanised surroundings, can become genetically differentiated. Here we determine whether differences in population genetic differentiation and diversity can be observed in the leaf litter inhabiting weevil Geochus politus along the urban-rural gradient spanning Waitākere Ranges Regional Parkland and suburbs of West Auckland, New Zealand. Nine microsatellite markers were developed and screened across 300 individuals from nine sampling locations. Pairwise FST values, a principal coordinates analysis, and Bayesian estimates of population structure all demonstrated that the most urban site was strongly differentiated from the others. This site also had the lowest heterozygosity and highest FIS values, potentially indicating a loss of genetic variation and a greater degree of inbreeding, although not to a dramatic extent. Differentiation was also observed among sampling locations within continuous forest, suggesting that both urbanisation and other landscape variables are influencing gene flow between these locations. This study highlights the potential for urban reserves to harbour significant diversity and emphasises the importance of maintaining these sites.
城市保护区具有保持较高生物多样性的潜力。然而,其中的类群种群可能会减少遗传多样性,如果种群之间的基因流动受到城市化环境的抑制,可能会出现遗传分化。本文研究了新西兰西奥克兰(Waitākere Ranges Regional Parkland)和郊区的不同城乡梯度上,不同地理位置的象甲Geochus politus凋落叶的群体遗传分化和多样性是否存在差异。在9个采样地点的300个个体中开发并筛选了9个微卫星标记。成对FST值、主坐标分析和人口结构的贝叶斯估计都表明,大多数城市站点与其他站点存在强烈的差异。这个位点的杂合度最低,FIS值最高,这可能表明遗传变异的丧失和更大程度的近交,尽管程度不是很大。在连续森林的采样地点之间也观察到差异,这表明城市化和其他景观变量正在影响这些地点之间的基因流动。这项研究强调了城市保护区容纳重要多样性的潜力,并强调了维护这些遗址的重要性。

: To be considered an effective pollinator, a floral visitor must not only be able to remove pollen but also transfer this pollen to a receptive conspecific stigma. While studies of diurnal pollination are commonplace, our understanding of the effectiveness of nocturnal pollinators is limited largely because of the difficulties of doing these studies at night. As a result of this, the way in which moths transfer pollen between flowers has been understudied globally, despite many authors suggesting they could be significant contributors to pollination. Here, we tested whether moths are capable of transferring pollen between flowers under experimental conditions using a fluorescent pollen-tracker powder. A flower-feeding taxon (Noctuidae: Ichneutica plena ) and non-feeding taxon (Hepialidae: Wiseana spp.) were contained overnight with flowering shoots of putatively moth-pollinated Leptospermum scoparium and Pimelea prostrata ( I. plena only), and putatively bird-pollinated Crocosmia × crocosmiiflora . Moths were able to transfer pollen tracker between flowers for both of the putatively moth-pollinated species, while no pollen tracker was removed from putatively bird-pollinated flowers. Both the feeding and non-feeding moth taxa were able to transfer pollen tracker between flowers; however, the feeding taxon could be considered a more effective pollinator because of the greater proportion of individuals both carrying and transferring pollen tracker compared with the non-feeding taxon. This study provides experimental evidence that moths may contribute to the pollination of L. scoparium and P. prostrata , and suggests a reassessment of the pollination ecology for these species is warranted
:要被认为是一种有效的传粉者,访花者不仅必须能够去除花粉,而且还必须将花粉转移到可接受的同种柱头上。虽然对昼夜授粉的研究很常见,但我们对夜间授粉者有效性的了解有限,主要是因为在夜间进行这些研究很困难。因此,尽管许多作者认为飞蛾可能是授粉的重要贡献者,但全球对飞蛾在花朵之间传递花粉的方式研究不足。在这里,我们使用荧光花粉追踪器粉末测试了蛾类在实验条件下是否能够在花朵之间传递花粉。一个以花为食的分类单元(Noctuide:Ichneutica plena)和非以花为生的分类单元,(Hepiliadae:Wiseana spp.)与假定为飞蛾授粉的Leptispermum scopearium和Pimelea prosta(仅限I.plena)以及假定为鸟类授粉的Crocosmia×Crocosmiflora的开花芽一起过夜。对于这两种被认为是蛾类授粉的物种,蛾类能够在花朵之间转移花粉跟踪器,而从被认为是鸟类授粉的花朵上没有移除花粉跟踪器。食蛾和非食蛾类群都能够在花之间传递花粉跟踪器;然而,与非取食分类单元相比,取食分类单元可以被认为是更有效的传粉昆虫,因为携带和转移花粉跟踪器的个体比例更大。这项研究提供了一些实验证据,证明蛾类可能有助于东花和匍匐茎的授粉,并表明有必要重新评估这些物种的授粉生态

A flower-feeding taxon (Noctuidae: Ichneutica plena ) and non-feeding taxon (Hepialidae: Wiseana spp.) were contained overnight with flowering shoots of putatively moth-pollinated Leptospermum scoparium and Pimelea prostrata ( I. plena only), and putatively bird-pollinated Crocosmia × crocosmiiflora . Moths were able to transfer pollen tracker between flowers for both of the putatively moth-pollinated species, while no pollen tracker was removed from putatively bird-pollinated flowers. Both the feeding and non-feeding moth taxa were able to transfer pollen tracker between flowers; however, the feeding taxon could be considered a more effective pollinator because of the greater proportion of individuals both carrying and transferring pollen tracker compared with the non-feeding taxon. This study provides experimental evidence that moths may contribute to the pollination of L. scoparium and P. prostrata , and suggests a reassessment of the pollination ecology for these species is warranted","PeriodicalId":49755,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Journal of Ecology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41496521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

: Aotearoa New Zealand’s conservation management has had a strong focus on offshore islands, though this investment is at risk from human-influenced factors such as biosecurity incursions and wildfire. During the last century several wildfires have occurred on Moutohorā (Whale Island), Bay of Plenty, which is a location for six threatened plant and three threatened animal species. Conservation and cultural management on Moutohorā over the last several decades has restored the island to become the most densely vegetated it has been since before humans arrived, albeit with a very different composition. The Prometheus fire-growth simulation model was used to produce a series of deterministic fire extent maps, which were compiled into seasonal burn probability maps. The average simulated fire extent was 53.2 ha, with a maximum area of 129.9 ha (or approx. 84% of the entire island), with 23% of fires not growing past 0.01 ha. Fires that start in summer, the western end of the island, and in mānuka and/or kānuka had the highest mean and maximum fire extent. Burn probability maps are a key step in quantifying the spatial fire risk for important conservation locations such as Moutohorā.
新西兰的保护管理一直非常关注近海岛屿,尽管这种投资面临着生物安全入侵和野火等人为因素的风险。在上个世纪,丰盛湾的鲸鱼岛发生了几次野火,这里是六种濒危植物和三种濒危动物的栖息地。在过去的几十年里,穆托霍伊岛的保护和文化管理使其恢复为人类到达之前植被最茂密的岛屿,尽管其组成与人类大相径庭。利用Prometheus火灾增长模拟模型,生成了一系列确定的火灾范围图,并将其编制成季节燃烧概率图。平均模拟火场面积为53.2公顷,最大面积为129.9公顷(约为1公顷)。占全岛的84%),23%的火灾面积不超过0.01公顷。夏季开始的火灾,岛的西端,mānuka和/或kānuka有最高的平均和最大的火灾范围。燃烧概率图是量化诸如穆托霍拉等重要保护区空间火灾风险的关键步骤。
