A tale of two species
Pringlea antiscorbutica (Brassicaceae) and Azorella polaris (syn. Stilbocarpa polaris , Apiaceae) are endemic sub-Antarctic flowering plants of significant ecological and historical importance. Pringlea antiscorbutica occurs on Îles Kerguelen and Crozet, Prince Edward, and the Heard and MacDonald Islands; A. polaris on Auckland, Campbell, and Macquarie Islands. We examine the use of these unrelated species of “wild cabbage,” as scurvy remedies an…
Conflicts between being a “Good Farmer” and freshwater policy
Shepherds to the subantarctic
In this article we explore farmers' introductions of exotic pastoral species on the subantarctic Campbell Island / Motu Ihupuku, and associated land management techniques, during the three decades of the sheep farming era, 1895-1931. We utilise the historical record and present-day botanical surveys to track the persistence of introduced plants through time, following the failure of the farming venture. Farmers' accounts give valuable details abo…
Polarized Light Microscopy
Understanding the composition of an artefact has ramifications for advancing human history and behaviour knowledge, providing cultural information about trade, agricultural practices and adaptation to new environments. However, accurate plant identification from artefacts is problematic, since textile production, age, dirt and/or conservation treatments obscure morphological features, and specimen size and/or ethical considerations hamper modern …

In recent articles and lectures, Latour’s ecological thinking has given a central role to the Gaia theory, in which he develops his own model, often shortened to ‘Gaia’. This recent work on ecology is dependent on An Inquiry into Modes of Existence. Here, the concept of ‘networks’ from earlier work moves into a richer domain of multi-disciplines; these ‘diplomatically’ bring many different networks to the conference table. ‘Gaia’ as Latour contin…
The New Zealand experience of varroa invasion highlights research opportunities for Australia
Mr Cocker’s Benger Burn discoveries
The recent botanical examination and dating of a tag from a South Island rain cape in the Otago Museum collection has lead to an examination of the circumstances surrounding its discovery, and an analysis of the significance accorded it by early researchers

Patterns of ecological diversity in fossil and modern mammalian faunas
Ecological diversity provides a means of analysing the community structure of fossil mammalian faunas in order to obtain information on the habitat of the fauna. As a basis for the analysis, 23 modern mammalian communities from distinct habitats have been used to establish patterns of community structure for tropical African habitats according to their species diversity by taxonomic group, size, locomotor zonal adaptation, and feeding adaptation.…
Skin colour of the Ainu of Hidaka, Hokkaido, Northern Japan
Quantitative data on skin colour variation are presented for Ainu of the Hidaka District, Hokkaido. Measurements of upper arm reflectance were taken using 8 filters of an EEL reflectance spectrophotometer. The results are compared with those published for the Japanese by Hulse (1976). Sexual dimorphism is well marked in both populations and among the Ainu appears to be due largely to clothing habits. There is no statistical evidence for an associ…
