Proteomic Analysis of Honey: Peptide Profiling as a Novel Approach for New Zealand Mānuka (Leptospermum scoparium) Honey Authentication

Foods, 2023
New Zealand mānuka (Leptospermum scoparium) honey is a premium food product. Unfortunately, its high demand has led to “not true to label” marketed mānuka honey. Robust methods are therefore required to determine authenticity.

Biology of the Gall Midge Spanolepis selloanae (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), a Candidate Biological Control Agent of the Invasive Grass Cortaderia selloana

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Spanolepis selloanae (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) infests Cortaderia selloana (pampas grass). It lays eggs in the spikelets, where larvae feed on female parts. The high prevalence of the midge and its combined impact in seed production, condition and viability strongly reduces the reproductive output of C. selloana.

The factors responsible for the varying levels of UMF® in mānuka (Leptospermum scoparium) honey [PDF]

, 2006
The variability in the level of the non-peroxide antibacterial component (UMF®) of mānuka honey produced in New Zealand was studied. A field analysis confirmed considerable variability existed in the honeys, and a number of hypotheses to explain this ...

The potential of registries of indigenous knowledge and centralised indigenous authorities in Aotearoa New Zealand

The Journal of World Intellectual Property, EarlyView.
Abstract Registries of Indigenous knowledge and centralised Indigenous authorities to oversee these have been advanced as mechanisms to prevent the misappropriation of Indigenous knowledge within Western intellectual property (IP) systems. This article critically examines the potential and limitations of such registries and centralised authorities in ...

Applied nucleation promotes recovery of New Zealand raised bog vegetation toward a reference community

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Applied nucleation aims to restore degraded ecosystems efficiently by establishing vegetation patches that increase in biodiversity and extent through natural dispersal and facilitation. Although widely tested in terrestrial ecosystems, its long‐term outcomes in wetlands remain poorly understood, particularly how restored ...
