Response Of Coleoptera Communities To Mammalian Pest Eradication At Maungataurari, New Zealand, Tracy H. Durnell
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
Coleoptera communities are considered effective bioindicators of ecological health and entire invertebrate communities. Mammalian pest-proof fences have been constructed to create two mainland islands at Maungatautari (WO), New Zealand. The objective of this study was to assess the response of Coleoptera communities to pest eradication inside the two pest-free enclosures. Pitfall traps were placed along transect lines at lowland sites inside and outside the enclosures on both the north and south sides of Maungatautari. Invertebrates were collected twice at two week intervals and classified to family. A total of 703 Coleoptera individuals from 21 families were collected. There was no …

Chlamydopsinae are reported from New Caledonia for the first time. Eighteen species are described in Chlamydonia gen. nov. One species is placed in Kanakopsis gen. nov. The remaining are placed in Chlamydopsis Westwood, representing the first records of this genus outside of Australia and New Guinea. A number of characters suggest placement of the two new genera near each other ( though not as each other's sister group) at the base of the widespread Orectoscelis/Eucurtiopsis group of genera. The Chlamydopsis species described here do not belong within any of the previously proposed species groups of this genus. Though no specimens …
