Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper records an exotic collembolan the species, Anurophorus laricis Nicolet, 1842, found for the first time in New Zealand. Its specific identity is confirmed using morphological data. The record is significant because it is the first for the genus Anurophorus in the Southern Hemisphere. Moreover, the species was found fairly abundantly on the native shrub, manuka, at 300 m asl, an unusual habitat for an exotic species. The high number of exotic, mainly European but also North American, species identified on morphological grounds found in Australia and New Zealand, has not in the past been accepted as valid by taxonomists in Europe. Confirmation using molecular sequence data has only recently been possible and was attempted but was not successful. A related issue is that there has been a trend of Salmon’s New Zealand endemic isotomids, both genera and species, being recognised as exotic after revision. We propose likely attributes of species and habitats that facilitate colonisation of exotic species in New Zealand which should help conservation efforts to be well focused.
摘要本文记录了1842年在新西兰首次发现的一种外来弹尾鹬。利用形态学数据证实了其具体身份。这一记录意义重大,因为它是无尾龙属在南半球的第一个记录。此外,该物种在本地灌木麦卢卡上发现的数量相当丰富,为300 m asl,一个外来物种的不同寻常的栖息地。在澳大利亚和新西兰发现的大量外来物种,主要是欧洲物种,也有北美物种,在过去没有被欧洲分类学家接受为有效物种。使用分子序列数据的确认直到最近才成为可能,并且尝试过,但没有成功。一个相关的问题是,在修订后,有一种趋势,即三文鱼的新西兰特有同种属和种都被认为是外来的。我们提出了物种和栖息地的可能特征,这些特征有助于外来物种在新西兰的定居,这将有助于保护工作的重点。
期刊介绍:
The invertebrate diversity of New Zealand is of great interest worldwide because of its geographic isolation and geological history. The New Zealand Entomologist plays an important role in disseminating information on field-based, experimental, and theoretical research.
The New Zealand Entomologist publishes original research papers, review papers and short communications. We welcome submissions in all aspects of science regarding insects and arthropods in a New Zealand or Australasian setting. The journal’s subject matter encompasses taxonomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, biological control and pest management, conservation, ecology and natural history.
The journal is the official publication of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. Papers published or submitted elsewhere for publication will not be considered, but publication of an abstract or summary elsewhere (e.g. conference proceedings) does not preclude full publication in the New Zealand Entomologist. Accepted papers become copyright of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. The journal is published in English, but we also welcome publication of abstracts in Maori.
