Concurrently, the field of molecular ecology is being revolutionised by rapid technological development and diversification in the scope of its applications. Hence, it is timely to review the future opportunities of molecular ecological research in Aotearoa New Zealand, and to reconcile them with philosophies of open science and the implications for Indigenous data sovereignty and benefit sharing. Future molecular ecologists need to be interdisciplinary, equipped to embrace innovation, and informed about the broader societal relevance of their research, as well as advocates of best practice. Here, we present an ideal future for molecular ecology in Aotearoa, based on the perspectives of 23 early career researchers from tertiary institutions, Crown Research Institutes, research consultancies, and government agencies. Our article provides: a guide for molecular ecologists embarking on genetic research in Aotearoa, and a primer for individuals in a position to support early career molecular ecologists in Aotearoa. We outline our goals and highlight specific considerations – for molecular ecology and the scientific community in Aotearoa – based on our own experience and aspirations, and invite other researchers to join this dialogue.","PeriodicalId":49984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"52 1","pages":"92 - 115"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46709901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to describe the prevalence, clustering, and socio-environmental associations of developmental health in preschool-aged children. A latent profile analysis was performed using data from child participants of <i>Growing Up in New Zealand</i> at age 4.5-years to identify profiles of developmental health status. Seven measures were included in the latent profile analysis, representing four domains of developmental health: 'physical', 'motor', 'socioemotional and behavioural', and 'communication and learning'. Multinominal logistic regression was used to investigate socio-environmental associations of latent profile membership. Six latent profiles were identified (<i>N</i> = 6109), including three healthy/flourishing profiles: 'healthy' (52.6% of the sample), 'early social skills flourishing' (14.5%), and 'early learning skills flourishing' (4.0%); and three suboptimal profiles: 'early learning skills difficulties' (19.5%), 'physical health difficulties' (5.6%), and 'developmental difficulties cluster' (3.7%). Children experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage, of Māori or Pacific ethnicity, and with unmet healthcare needs had increased odds of being classified to suboptimal developmental health profiles.

Since then, ancient DNA research has provided many - often unexpected - insights into the origins of New Zealand's terrestrial and marine vertebrate fauna. Because recent human activities in New Zealand have caused the decline or extinction of many endemic plant, bird, reptile, and marine mammal species, ancient DNA has been instrumental in reconstructing their identities and origins. However, most ancient DNA studies focusing on New Zealand species have been restricted to vertebrates, with small sample sizes, and/or relatively few genetic markers. This has limited their power to infer fine-scale biogeographic patterns, including (pre)historic distributions and range-shifts driven by past climate and environmental change. Recently, 'next-generation' methodological and technological advances have broadened the range of hypotheses that can feasibly be tested with ancient DNA. These advances represent an exciting opportunity for further exploring New Zealand biogeography using ancient DNA, but their promise has not yet been fully realised. In this review, we summarise the last 30 years of ancient DNA research into New Zealand faunal biogeography and highlight key objectives, challenges, and possibilities for the next 30 years and beyond.</p>","PeriodicalId":49984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"1 1","pages":"75-97"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11459812/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42145952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regaining a sense of familiarity enables whānau to cope with their unexpected preterm trajectory. He Tamariki Kokoti Tau: Babies Born Prematurely was the first Kaupapa Māori prospective qualitative longitudinal study to explore these trajectories, walking alongside whānau from birth to first birthday. This interpretative phenomenological analysis explores the final ‘first birthday’ interviews with 16 whānau. Concerns that had been raw in early days of neonatal intensive care carried over – frustrating whānau yet strengthening their resolve to support each other. Whānau described how they enacted resilience together, with their whānau collective including health practitioner champions who became ‘like whānau’ by virtue of their culturally responsive care. While pēpi (infants) continued to experience health issues, whānau felt hopeful for the year ahead. They expressed love, joy, and pride for their pēpi as the centre of their whānau. Whānau are experts of their pēpi, and healthcare champions who recognise this and promote whānau tino-rangatiratanga (autonomy) make a world of difference. Health services can learn from these whānau, about how to better support preterm care pathways for Māori.","PeriodicalId":49984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"52 1","pages":"57 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49190939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the importance of the novel’s use of narrative embedding to the novel’s hybrid structure; the hybrid narrative structure, in turn, is central to Queen of Beauty’s focus on Virginia’s hybrid identity. The hybrid nature of the novel, which is founded on narrative embedding–is critical to the development of the lead character Virginia’s growing awareness of her own hybrid identity. Morris brings together different embedded narratives together in a hybrid form that provides a complex history of Virginia’s Māori and Pākehā family. The structure of the novel provides for the progression of Virginia’s character development and how her hybrid identity is enhanced through the embedded stories that make it up. The embedded forms draw upon both oral storytelling tradition–connected to the idea of whakapapa–and the western frame of reference that places emphasis on written sources, such that both are part of Virginia’s heritage and context.","PeriodicalId":49984,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"52 1","pages":"33 - 45"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44279873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and emergent themes analysed. The major driver of food insecurity was low income relative to essential household outgoings. Coping strategies employed invariably involved reducing the quantity and quality of food consumed. Negative impacts of food insecurity included significant stress, neglect of personal needs and missing meals in favour of children. Concerns expressed for children included reduced provision of nutritious food and constrained social and recreational opportunities. Participants described the daily struggle of feeding their household despite personal sacrifices, a range of coping strategies and community support.
