The outcomes of this study display ontogenetic variations for different age groups based on the recorded shapes. Otoliths of the young individuals belonging to fish length groups GI and GII have shown differences in the otolith shape from those of the older individuals of the remaining seven length groups examined. A comparison with earlier published otolith description on C. auratus collected from other areas showed some interspecific variation across larger geographic distances, making some characters useless for diagnostic purposes. Other otolith features were shown to be consistent in otoliths from different length groups and such characteristics could be considered for species identification purposes. These characteristics are otolith width, depth, shape of the mesial and the lateral surfaces, shape of the sulcus acusticus, shape of the ostium and cauda and shape of the ostio-caudal differentiation.KEYWORDS: MorphologySEMontogenyinterspecific variationotolith ornamentationsvariation AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Scientific Research Project Office (project number: 17/119) for funding this study.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis study was funded by Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Scientific Research Project Office (project number: 17/119).","PeriodicalId":19208,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Journal of Zoology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136348254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We describe a 2-rodent, 2-flea system that showed little change over 20 years. Ship rats (Rattus rattus) and house mice (Mus musculus) were snap trapped at fixed sites in the Orongorongo Valley, Wellington, for a study of their population ecology. The fleas Leptopsylla segnis and Nosopsyllus fasciatus were common on mice and rats respectively, and less common on the alternate hosts. Prevalence was described in relation to sex and age of the host, and to season and year. Male mice were more likely than females to carry L. segnis. Prevalence and intensity of infection mostly increased with age of host. Prevalence of both flea species showed modest seasonal variation, with a dip in autumn. Pregnant or lactating female rats and mice were less likely to have fleas than were non-breeding adult females. Prevalence did not vary positively with host density. We detected a slight overall increase in the prevalence of each flea species over the duration of the study. We conclude with some discussion of flea assemblages in New Zealand.","PeriodicalId":19208,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Journal of Zoology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135461068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to previous poor breeding success, this species is on the brink of extinction. Nest failures occur because of adverse weather, predation, and potentially nest disturbance. We observed parental behaviour of 11 nesting pairs from November 2020 to January 2021 at three sites: Mangawhai, Waipu and Pakiri. Overall, avian predator disturbance was low at all nests, and most disturbance events were by interactions between conspecifics. Responses to conspecific disturbances were lowest for the three closely nesting pairs and highest for the three solitary nests. We measured the frequency of chick feeding and found feeding rates varied considerably between nests. Defensive response rates and feeding rates varied between nests but we found no relationship between the proportion of responses to disturbance and feeding rates. We found no relationship between feeding rate and tidal state. This could be due to our small sample size and the duration of our observation period (30 min). We urge future researchers to increase observation period time. With an understanding of feeding rates and disturbance, informed decisions can be made to support the conservation of NZFT.","PeriodicalId":19208,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Journal of Zoology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135460936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While previous studies have characterised floral nectar microbiomes and their effects on invertebrate pollinators, fewer studies have focused on vertebrate pollinators, especially outside of the Northern Hemisphere. In Aotearoa New Zealand, vertebrates, such as birds and bats, are critical pollinators for many native plant species. Here, we present nectar microbiome profiles for two endemic, vertebrate-pollinated plant species in Aotearoa New Zealand, wharariki, mountain flax (Phormium cookianum), and pua o te Rēinga, wood rose (Dactylanthus taylorii). We used vertebrate exclusion treatments and camera traps to monitor visitation. Camera trap footage revealed silvereye (Zosterops lateralis), ship rat (Rattus rattus), and possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) visitation. We detected shifts in microbial species turnover in wood rose and varying relative abundances of fungal and bacterial taxa across the vertebrate exclusion treatments for both mountain flax and wood rose. However, we did not detect strong effects on floral nectar microbiome community composition or richness. Future work should move beyond profiling the microbial communities and identify fitness consequences and pollination outcomes, which could affect conservation and management decisions.","PeriodicalId":19208,"journal":{"name":"New Zealand Journal of Zoology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135199806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
