Further notes on New Zealand Enantiobuninae (Opiliones, Neopilionidae), with the description of a new genus and two new species by Taylor, Christopher

“…Mangatangi parvum gen. n. and sp. and Forsteropsalis pureroa sp. n. are described from the North Island of New Zealand. Pantopsalis listeri (White 1849) and P. cheliferoides (Colenso 1882) are redescribed and no longer regarded as nomina dubia; P. luna (Forster 1944) is identified as a junior synonym of P. listeri. …”

Contemporary tectonic stress pattern of the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand by Rajabi, M., Ziegler, M., Tingay, Mark, Heidbach, O., Reynolds, S.

“…Furthermore, this ENE-WSW average SHmax orientation is subparallel to the subduction trench and strike of the subducting slab (N50°E) beneath the central western North Island. Hence, we suggest that the slab geometry and the associated forces due to slab rollback are the key control of crustal stress in the Taranaki Basin. …”

Site specific differences in morphometry and photophysiology in intertidal Zostera muelleri meadows by Kohlmeier, D., Pilditch, C., Bornman, Janet, Bischof, K.

“…We evaluated spatial differences in seagrass cover related to environmental conditions (light, temperature, sediment grain size distribution, and porewater nutrients) and differences in seagrass photosynthetic pigment composition and morphometry (above and below ground biomass, shoot length and leaf width, and percentage cover) at four sites in the meso-tidal estuarine lagoon Tauranga Harbour, North Island, New Zealand. Two sites were sandy and wave-exposed and two others were muddy and sheltered, while one of each site types was located in the north and south of Tauranga Harbour, respectively. …”

Exploration of collaborative learning environments in New Zealand secondary school science by Taylor, Simon P. G.

“…It was action-research based and it followed 15 classes of students at years 9-10 (13-15 years old) with their corresponding teachers in 12 secondary schools, over three consecutive years, 2009-2011.The selected geographical region of research incorporated a range of rural and urban secondary schools in the central North island of New Zealand. The study measured students’ attitudes and perceptions of their experiences of the classroom and it intended to generate an opportunity for teachers to discuss and reflect on the research data gathered.The students were surveyed using the Constructivist Learning Environment Survey over two years. …”
