title: Capturing the value of biosurveillance “big data” through natural capital accounting

authors: Castle, David

subjects: biodiversity

abstract: Global biodiversity is in crises. Recognition of the scale and pace of biodiversity loss is leading to rapid technological development in biodiversity science to identify species, their interactions, and ecosystem dynamics. National and international policy developments to stimulate mitigation and remediation actions are escalating to meet the biodiversity crises. They can take advantage of biosurveillance “big data” as evidence for more sweeping and impactful policy measures. The critical factor is translating biosurveillance data into the value-based frameworks underpinning new policy measures. An approach to this integration process, using natural capital accounting frameworks is developed.

title: Genetic identification of fish

authors: Banks, Jonathan C.

subjects: DNA barcoding

abstract: Our report shows that the straightforward extraction of DNA and amplification of appropriate genes can identify fish that are difficult to identify unequivocally from morphology alone.  Three examples show that these techniques can be extended to identify fish from other regions or countries and could be useful for the surveillance of illegal or unregulated transfers of fish, and for identifying species from a conservation perspective.

title: Race, culture and ethnicity: Organisation of Maori social groups: A working paper

authors: Nikora, Linda Waimarie

subjects: Maori

abstract: Three concepts have guided the conceptual orientation to studies of human groups within the social sciences. They are those concepts of race, culture, and ethnicity. These are discussed with specific reference to Maori peoples and their development in Te Aohurihuri.
