Performance of planted native seedlings in felled strips within Pinus radiata plantation forest

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Exotic plantations could facilitate native forest restoration through a managed transition utilizing partial harvest, poisoning, or natural senescence of the plantation. Objectives To explore canopy gap creation and herbivore exclusion in a Pinus radiata plantation on planted seedlings of three native tree species.

Toward Better Monitoring of Cryptic Lizards: Catch Rate Predictors and Natural History of the Elusive Northern Striped Gecko Toropuku inexpectatus

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 4, December 2026.
The nocturnal and arboreal northern striped gecko (Toropuku inexpectatus) is one of Aotearoa New Zealand's most elusive and least‐detected lizards, classified as Threatened – Nationally Vulnerable. Limited knowledge of its biology, ecology and distribution poses challenges for monitoring and conservation.

Endogonaceous mycorrhizas synthesised in Leptospermum (Myrtaceae) [PDF]

New Zealand Journal of Botany, 1971
Summary Honey‐coloured sessile Endogone spores produced mycorrhizas in Leptospermum scoparium . Control plants inoculated with crushed spores formed none. They grew steadily, but much more slowly than mycorrhizal plants.

New Zealand Seed Ecology in the Pyrocene: Testing Seed Responses to High Temperatures Under Laboratory Conditions

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 4, December 2026.
Fire has been an historically rare disturbance in New Zealand ecosystems that is becoming increasingly frequent. Most native plants lack fire‐related adaptations, contrasting with exotic species that evolved with frequent fire disturbance. We investigated seed responses to short‐duration heat exposure in five native and four exotic species to assess ...
