ABSTRACT The island syndrome is defined as a suite of predictable and consistent differences between island and mainland organisms. In seed plants, much of what we know about the island syndrome comes from work in the Southwest Pacific, which is comprised of the three main islands of New Zealand and ten surrounding archipelagos.

Are moths the missing pollinators in Subantarctic New Zealand?
On offshore islands, flowers are typically small, simple in colour and shape and more reliant on wind- or self-pollination than insect-mediated pollination. Islands also tend to have a species-poor pollinating fauna. The New Zealand Subantarctic islands (

ABSTRACT Alpine ecosystems are vulnerable to the warming climate, yet alpine soil mesofauna remains the less studied part of NZ biodiversity. Here we present a survey of soil mesofauna communities of three mountain peaks in the Nelson‐Tasman and Marlborough regions of the South Island of New Zealand.

ABSTRACT Aim The outstanding Andean biodiversity has been linked to the occurrence of evolutionary radiations that are common among high‐elevation plant lineages. One of the most iconic examples is found in the species‐rich genus Senecio, with an impressive variation in growth forms and habitat preference.
