An investigation of the factors regulating house mouse (Mus musculus) and ship rat (Rattus rattus) population dynamics in forest ecosystems at Lake Waikaremoana, New Zealand : a thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand
(Massey University, 2000)
Factors regulating the eruptive population dynamics of house mice, Mus musculus, and ship rats, Rattus rattus, were investigated over 29 months in mixed forest at Lake Waikaremoana, New Zealand. Mice and rats are generally ...
Regulation of apoptosis in neural cells : two methods for overcoming asynchrony : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biochemistry at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand
(Massey University, 2000)
Programmed cell death, or apoptosis, plays a major role in the development of the nervous system and in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Although many proteins that play a key role in apoptosis in other ...

(Massey University, 2000)
This thesis describes molecular systematic studies that test hypotheses concerning the age and origins of the New Zealand alpine flora. Analyses of nuclear and chloroplast DNA markers for two plant groups that have radiated ...
Linkages between hyporheic and benthic invertebrate communities in New Zealand gravel bed rivers : a thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology at Massey University
(Massey University, 2000)
Surber samples from the benthos and T-bar samples (14 mm PVC pipe diameter) from the hyporheos were collected from 8 Southern Hawkes Bay rivers, differing in environmental conditions and geological age, and 8 rivers of the ...
Homogeneous and heterogeneous enzymeimmunoassays for the home detection of fertility : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biochemistry at Massey University
(Massey University, 2000)
The physiology of the menstrual cycle has been reviewed and the suitability of the ovarian steroid urinary metabolites estrone glucuronide and pregnanediol glucuronide as markers of fertility and as utilised by the home ...
Regulation of paxilline biosynthesis in Penicillium paxilli : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Molecular Genetics at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand
(Massey University, 2000)
Production of the indole-diterpenoid paxilline was examined in the filamentous ascomycete Penicillium paxilli. Paxilline is a secondary metabolite, that is synthesised via a specific secondary metabolite biosynthetic ...
