Aim Puzzling features of plants are sometimes explained as legacies of co-evolution with extinct herbivores. One example is the convergent evolution of a small-leaved, twiggy ‘divaricate’ form in > 50 woody species in New Zealand. This growth for

Increased afforestation of non-productive land could deliver win–win solutions for greenhouse gas mitigation through carbon sequestration and biodiversity gains, referred to here as increased ‘ecological integrity’. We examined the potential tr

SUMMARYEffective conservation planning must anticipate the rates and patterns of dynamic threats to biodiversity, such as rapid changes in land use. Poor understanding and prediction of drivers and patterns of conversion of habitat can hinder assessm

There is an urgent need to develop sound theory and practice for biodiversity offsets to provide a better basis for offset multipliers, to improve accounting for time delays in offset repayments, and to develop a common framework for evaluating in-ki

Summary Biological control (biocontrol) can provide permanent cost-effective control of plant pests, but has variable success. The ability to predict the success of weed biocontrol should improve target prioritisation and the cost-benefit ratio of we

For many taxonomic groups, sparse information on the spatial distribution of biodiversity limits our capacity toanswer a variety of theoretical and applied ecological questions. Modelling community-level attributes (a- andb-diversity) over space can

Can New Zealand’s indigenous dryland ecosystems be rehabilitated by facilitating inherent successional tendencies to enhance development of indigenous-dominated and often woody communities in the long term? Here, we describe the geographic distribu

Aim Using New Zealand land snails as a case study, we evaluated recent spatial modelling approaches for the analysis of diversity in species-rich invertebrate groups. Applications and prospects for improved conservation assessment were investigated.
