Talk:Biodiversity of New Zealand

message: This is a great article, I was thinking that it might be better renamed to Natural history of New Zealand, any concerns or objections? --nixie 07:04, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I would prefer leaving it as it is, although Biota of New Zealand (which I've just redirected) may be better. We need a standard way of naming these articles. Flora and fauna is terrible, because it limits the article to two phylogenetic groups of organisms, while biodiversity isn't so bad, but biota is probably more accurate. Regarding content, natural history broadens the scope too much, though we do need more/better articles on other aspects of the country's natural history, including geological history.

thread_title: Renaming

message: The article currently has this sentence: "No mammals, other than bats and marine mammals, reached New Zealand before humans did." That will have to be revised in light of findings of mammal fossils that date from the period 19-16 million years ago. . --Mathew5000 03:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  New finding of ancient mammal fossils in NZ 

message: It looks like there was a report at the 2002 International Palaeontological Congress of snake and crocodile fossils having been found in New Zealand, dating to 18-14 million years ago. However, I can't find anywhere this was written up, in a peer-reviewed journal. References:     --Mathew5000 21:17, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Snakes and crocodiles 

message: The biodiversity section of the New Zealand article appears to contain some additional information not in this article. Additionally, I think the yellow-eyed penguin and, possibly, the white-tailed spider should be mentioned in this article (but possibly under the New Zealand biodiversity section as well).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andreas Toth (talk • contribs) 22:05, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing/inconsistent information between the New Zealand article and this one 

message: I reverted the inclusion of an external link to what appears to be a commercial site - the photos are for sale. Kahuroa (talk) 05:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
