So, what am I working on?...

I am investigating how wildlife responds to environmental pressures such as climate change and habitat loss.


Through the conversion of large areas of countryside into farmland and towns, many animals and plants have lost areas of their original habitat. This affects how many organisms survive, how they move and how they interact. When combined with a changing climate it is highly likely that a range of organisms are going to be effected, causing biodiversity loss and altering ecosystems.

Ever written out 2500 labels?

Well if not, when they are stacked in 5's and lined up on card strips like this...




...you will be writing 5 times this amount!

So this is all part of my preperation for field work. All these labels should loop around the new leaves sprouting from the kawakawas. That way I can identify how quickly the leaves grow and how much they get munched by caterpillars over the season.
