Download or read book Mortality of New Zealand Native Frogs in Captivity written by Stephanie D. Shaw and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three species of New Zealand native frogs (Leiopelma archeyi, L. hochstetteri, and L. pakeka) have been held in captivity in various institutions since 2000 as part of a programme to maintain and breed these threatened species. Following the death of a large number of these captive frogs, the Department of Conservation Native Frog Recovery Group decided that an investigation was needed to determine the cause. In this mortality study, we obtained data from captive populations to analyse mortality rates and causes of death for 252 wild-caught Leiopelma spp. These were held in captivity at the University of Canterbury and later transferred to other institutions between 2000 and 2006. Leiopelma archeyi and L. hochstetteri had similar overall average mortality but different yearly mortality patterns, whereas L. pakeka had much lower overall mortality. The major cause of death for L. archeyi and L. hochstetteri was bacterial infection, which was thought to be induced by a combination of husbandry factors, but mainly from oversterilising the substrate. Consequently, Auckland Zoo instigated a change in management, whereby soil was only heated to a temperature and for a length of time that was just sufficient to kill amphibian chytrid. New disease syndromes (skin blisters and muscle deterioration (rhabdomyolysis)) were also detected. Knowledge of disease is an important component of captive husbandry, so that healthy breeding populations can be maintained and we can gain an insight into diseases that may be affecting free-living populations. It is recommended that the staff at each institution undertake a review of all captive mortalities and report back to the Native Frog Recovery Group on an annual basis, so that any husbandry or disease issues that have arisen can be identified quickly.

The only field guide to cover all of New Zealand's 123 currently recognized species, the book features authoritative and up-to-date species accounts, including names and description, as well as information on distribution, variation and similar species, habitat, and natural history.

Download or read book The Tuatara Lizards and Frogs of New Zealand written by Richard Sharell and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a new kind of nature book. Designed for readers of all ages, it is an introduction in combined text and superb photographs to particular group of creatures - in this volume the colourful reptiles and amphibians of New Zealand. The strangest member of this group, an animal found nowhere else on earth, is the tuatara. The tuatara looks like a lizard, but is is not one. It is the only survivor from the age of giant reptiles - the bronchosaurs, the dinosaurs - and it has remained with us for 135 million years practically unchanged: a living example of ancestral reptiles from which we have evolved. No wonder that it should feature so prominently in Maori art and folklore. Mr. Sharell has for many years studied and photographed the tuatara and its distant cousins, New Zealadn's lizards and frogs, and in this book he gives us the fruit of his work. It is at once an authoritative and richly illustrated handbook, and a striking testimony to his conviction that nature study cannot - or should not - be divorced from an appreciation of nature's beauty.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "New Zealand posses a relatively young and certainly vibrant variety of English. The influence of te reo Maori makes a significant contribution to that lexical vitality." "Maori words began to enter English in 1769 after the arrival of James Cook and H.M.S. Endeavour. They continue to do so today, with an estimated six words out of every thousand in written and spoken New Zealand English being of Maori origin. These words include the names of flora and fauna, aspects of material and social culture, and new creations, as well as place and personal names." "This dictionary presents a comprehensive picture of that presence in New Zealand English, and provides a vignette of New Zealand society through the citation accompanying many of the words."--BOOK JACKET.
