    • The ant fauna of Rakitu (Arid Island), New Zealand 

      Veale, Andrew; Bodey, Thomas; Doyle, Erin; Peace, Jo; Russell, James (Unitec ePress, 2018-12-19)
      Monitoring the fauna of an island before ecological restoration work begins provides a baseline against which changes to that environment can be quantified. Ants are a diverse and ecologically important group of insects, ...

    • The genomic ancestry, landscape genetics, and invasion history of introduced mice in New Zealand 

      Veale, Andrew; Russell, J.C.; King, C. M. (2018-01-24)
      The house mouse (Mus musculus) provides a fascinating system for studying both the genomic basis of reproductive isolation, and the patterns of human-mediated dispersal. New Zealand has a complex history of mouse invasions, ...

    • Genomic changes associated with reproductive and migratory ecotypes in sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) 

      Veale, Andrew; Russello, M.A. (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2017-10-13)
      Mechanisms underlying adaptive evolution can best be explored using paired populations displaying similar phenotypic divergence,illuminating the genomic changes associated with specific life history traits. Here, we used ...

    • Genotyping-by-sequencing supports a genetic basis for wing reduction in an alpine New Zealand stonefly 

      Veale, Andrew; Foster, B.J.; Dearden, P. K.; Waters, J. M. (Nature Publishing Group, 2018-11-02)
      Wing polymorphism is a prominent feature of numerous insect groups, but the genomic basis for this diversity remains poorly understood. Wing reduction is a commonly observed trait in many species of stonefies, particularly ...

    • Population connectivity and traces of mitochondrial introgression in New Zealand black-billed gulls (Larus bulleri) 

      Mischler, C.; Veale, Andrew; van Stijn, T.; Brauning, R.; McEwan, J. C.; Maloney, R.; Robertson, B.C. (MDPI (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute), 2018-11-08)
      Black-billed gulls (Larus bulleri) are endemic to New Zealand and are suspected to be undergoing substantial population declines. They primarily breed on open gravel beds in braided rivers of the South Island—a habitat ...

    • Using te reo Māori and ta re Moriori in taxonomy 

      Veale, Andrew; de Lange, Peter; Buckley, T.R.; Cracknell, M.; Hohaia, H.; Parry, K.; Raharaha-Nehemia, K.; Reihana, K.; Seldon, D.; Tawiri, K.; Walker, L. (New Zealand Ecological Society, 2019-11-28)
      AUHEKE Ko ngā ingoa Linnaean ka noho hei pou mō te pārongo e pā ana ki ngā momo koiora. He mea nui rawa kia mārama, kia ahurei hoki ngā ingoa pūnaha whakarōpū. Me pēnei kia taea ai te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero ā-pūtaiao nei. ...
