Abstract:

The bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.) of Doubtful Sound, Fiordland, New Zealand, live at the southern limit of the species' worldwide range. They are subject to impacts from tourism and habitat modification. Photographic resightings of individually distinctive dolphins were gathered from 19 225 dorsal fin photographs taken during systematic surveys of the fiord. Field effort spanned nine seasons from summer 2004/2005 to summer 2006/2007, including 142 days on the water. Both capture-recapture and census approaches were taken in analysis. A total of 71 individuals were observed over the study period (54 adults, sub-adults and calves more than one year old and 17 newborn calves). Births were seasonal, occurring in the Austral summer and autumn, with calf survival (9 survivors of 17 births) lower than observed for this population in the past. Individual dolphins were resighted frequently within and across seasons, confirming the group is resident within the fiord year-round. Fifty-six bottlenose dolphins (CV=1.0%) were resident in Doubtful Sound in summer 2006/2007. Comparison with prior abundance estimates (for adults and sub-adults) indicates an apparent population decline of 34?39% over the past 12 years. This apparent decline suggests that precautionary management of human impacts is vital for the dolphins' long-term survival.

Abstract:

Photographic identification and standardized zigzag surveys were used to study the distribution and abundance of bottlenose dolphins in Doubtful Sound, New Zealand. Forty individuals were identified from nicks and markings on their dorsal fins. Chapman's and Bailey's modifications to the Lincoln–Petersen estimate and the computer program CAPTURE were used to estimate the number of marked individuals in the population, which ranged from 30 to 40 animals for three survey periods (two summers and a winter). The proportion of identifiable individuals in the population was assessed empirically as 65.5%. These data resulted in a total population estimate of approximately 58 individuals. The majority of the dolphins in the catalogue were found in each survey period, indicating their residency in the fiord. Movements of dolphins around the sound were not predictable, but there were areas in which dolphins were more likely to be found and other areas in which dolphins were never seen. However, there were no obvious seasonal or daily movement patterns.

Abstract:

Species distribution models (SDMs) often rely on abiotic variables as proxies for biotic relationships. This means that important biotic relationships may be missed, creating ambiguity in our understanding of the drivers of habitat use. These problems are especially relevant for populations of predators, as their habitat use is likely to be strongly influenced by the distribution of their prey. We investigated habitat use of a population of a top predator, bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus, in Doubtful Sound, New Zealand, using generalised additive models, and compared the results of models with and without biotic predictor variables. We found that although habitat use by bottlenose dolphins was significantly correlated with abiotic variables that likely describe foraging areas, introduction of biotic variables describing potential prey almost doubled the deviance explained, from 19.8 to 39.1%. Biotic variables were the most important of the predictors used, and indicated that the dolphins showed a preference for areas with a high abundance of a reef fish, girdled wrasse Notolabrus cinctus. For the dolphins of Doubtful Sound, these results show the importance of prey distribution in driving habitat use. On a broader scale, our results indicate that making an effort to include true biotic descriptors in SDMs can improve model performance, resulting in better understanding of the drivers of distribution of marine predators.

Abstract:

Autonomous acoustic data loggers can provide useful data on habitat use and activity patterns of vocalizing cetaceans. One type, the T-POD, uses filters that can be set to match the click characteristics of the target species. We used wideband acoustic recordings to document typical click spectra of bottlenose dolphins in Doubtful Sound, New Zealand, in order to develop T-POD settings optimal for that population. T-PODs at these settings made between 8 and 33 times as many detections as accompanying T-PODs set as in other studies of this species, confirming the value of optimizing settings for a particular dolphin population. Maximum detection range was 1313 m, and mean range of first detection was 593 m. Of 45 groups observed within 500 m of the T-POD, 47% were detected acoustically. Effective detection radius was estimated at 266 m (95% CI 222–317 m).

Abstract:

Laser photogrammetry (also known as laser-metrics) can provide valuable morphological data but the measurement error associated with the technique has not been quantified. Here laser-metrics were used to measure the dorsal fins of an entire resident population of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from Doubtful Sound, New Zealand. Dorsal fin base length, height and surface area were measured from dorsal fin photographs. Sources of measurement error were estimated by repeatedly measuring multiple photographs of dorsal fins of known individuals. Measurement error accounted for less than 6% of the total variation in dorsal fin base length and height, indicating that the technique was repeatable. Adults were the only age-class to express sexual dimorphism, with males significantly larger than females in all measurements. The relationship between dorsal fin height and base length was significantly different between male and female adults: dorsal fins of males were proportionately taller. Laser photogrammetry is an inexpensive and non-invasive measurement technique that can provide valuable size data when used in conjunction with routine dorsal fin photo-identification studies.

Abstract:

Banks will not be resilient and stable if the provision for bad and doubtful financing (PBD) and contingency reserve (CR) failed to play its role as bank operational buffers whenever there is an economic condition disorder. Every firm has to face the financial uncertainties and the sudden shock of economic activity disorder, which will directly affect their operations. The management of PBD and CR is necessary to make the bank well protected. To verify the resiliency and stability of the Islamic bank, hence, this paper empirically examines the bank management of PBD and CR. An unbalanced panel data analysis was conducted on 67 Islamic banks from various countries for the period of 2000-2014. The empirical evidence shows, although the bank PBD does fulfil the resiliency and stability behaviour conditions, the insignificant relationship of the M2 growth and CPI growth to the PBD growth need some consideration from the banks and policy makers. The finding also provides an indication that only the current year profit growth behaviour is positively correlated to the CR growth. The findings recommend the Islamic bank PBD and CR management need to be sound to make it more resilient and stable.

Abstract:

The scorpion-tailed orb-weaving spiders in the genus Arachnura Vinson, 1863 (Araneidae Clerck, 1757) are revised for Australia and New Zealand. Arachnura higginsii (L. Koch, 1872) only occurs in Australia and A. feredayi (L. Koch, 1872) only in New Zealand. A single female collected in south-eastern Queensland (Australia) is here tentatively identified as A. melanura Simon, 1867, but it is doubtful that this species has established in Australia. Two juveniles from northern Queensland do not conform to the diagnoses of any of the above species and are illustrated pending a more thorough revision of the genus in South-East Asia and the Pacific region. An unidentified female from Westport (New Zealand) does not conform to the diagnoses of A. feredayi and A. higginsii, but is not described due to its poor preservation status. Arachnura caudatella Roewer, 1942 (replacement name for Epeira caudata Bradley, 1876), originally described from Hall Sound (Papua New Guinea) and repeatedly catalogued for Australia, is considered a nomen dubium.

Abstract:

Photo-identification is an invaluable method for documenting associations. Based on the assumption that individuals photographed close together in time are physically close in space, the metadata associated with digital photography offers an opportunity to base association analyses on time between images. This was tested via analysis of associations within a population of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Doubtful Sound, New Zealand. We compared the widely used group-membership method and an alternative time-based method. Overall social structures between methods were similar; high degrees of association among all individuals and little support for sub-groups. Results also indicated an increase in the precision of pairwise indices for the time-based method. This study validated the approach of using time as a basis for analyses of associations. Importantly, this method can be retrospectively applied to any photo-ID data set in which images of uniquely identifiable individuals are time-stamped by the camera.

Abstract:

The long-lived (about 20 yr) bryozoan Adeonellopsis sp. from Doubtful Sound, New Zealand, precipitates aragonite in isotopic equilibrium with seawater, exerting no metabolic or kinetic effects. Oxygen isotope ratios (δ18O) in 61 subsamples (along three branches of a single unaltered colony) range from −0.09 to +0.68‰ PDB (mean = +0.36‰ PDB). Carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) range from +0.84 to +2.18‰ PDB (mean = +1.69‰ PDB). Typical of cool-water carbonates, δ18O-derived water temperatures range from 14.2 to 17.5 °C. Adeonellopsis has a minimum temperature growth threshold of 14 °C, recording only a partial record of environmental variation. By correlating seawater temperatures derived from δ18O with the Southern Oscillation Index, however, we were able to detect major events such as the 1983 El Niño. Interannual climatic variation can be recorded in skeletal carbonate isotopes. The range of within-colony isotopic variability found in this study (0.77‰ in δ18O and 1.34 in δ13C) means that among-colony variation must be treated cautiously. Temperate bryozoan isotopes have been tested in less than 2% of described extant species — this highly variable phylum is not yet fully understood.

Abstract:

Rapid anthropogenic production of CO2 has driven the carbonate chemistry of the sea, causing lowered pH in surface waters. Increasingly, scientists are called on to study ocean acidification and its effects. The ‘minor’ phylum Bryozoa shows considerable potential in understanding temperate southern hemisphere shelf carbonate dynamics, thus complementing tropical studies based mainly on corals. Lowered pH affects skeletons differently depending on their composition, but skeletons are even more strongly affected by morphology. Different bryozoans will manifest the effects of acidification at different times, thus some particularly vulnerable species may act as ‘canaries’ providing an early warning for some shelf communities, such as bryozoan-dominated thickets. A carbonate budget based on several studies of the bryozoan Adeonellopsis in Doubtful Sound, New Zealand, shows that increasing dissolution pressure in cool temperate environments dramatically reduces sediment accumulation rates. Bryozoan shelf carbonate sediments, which blanket the southern shelves of New Zealand and Australia, may serve as biological saturometers, monitoring the effects of acidification over shelf depths. Whether acting as canaries, models or sentinels, bryozoans have great potential to provide insight into the next global challenge: ocean acidification.

Abstract:

The efficacy of the plant-derived polyphenol curcumin, in various aspects of health and wellbeing, is matter of public interest. An internet search of the term “Curcumin” displays about 12 million hits. Among the multitudinous information presented on partly doubtful websites, there are reports attracting the reader with promises ranging from eternal youth to cures for incurable diseases. Unfortunately, many of these reports are not based on scientific evidence, but they feed the desideratum of the reader for a “miracle cure”. This circumstance makes it very difficult for researchers, who work in a scientifically sound and evidence-based manner on the therapeutic benefits (or side effects) of curcumin, to demarcate their results from sensational reports that circulate in the web and in other media. This is only one of many obstacles making it difficult to pave curcumin’s way into clinical application; others are its nonpatentability and low economic usability. A further impediment comes from scientists who never worked with curcumin or any other natural plant-derived compound in their own labs. They have never tested these compounds in any scientific assay, neither in vitro nor in vivo; however, they claim, in a sometimes polemic manner, that everything that has so far been published on curcumin’s molecular effects is based on artefacts. The here presented Special Issue comprises a collection of five scientifically sound articles and nine reviews reporting on the therapeutic benefits and the molecular mechanisms of curcumin or of chemically modified curcumin in various diseases ranging from malignant tumors to chronic diseases, microbial infection, and even neurodegenerative diseases. The excellent results of the scientific projects that underlie the five original papers give reason to hope that curcumin will be part of novel treatment strategies in the near future—either as monotherapy or in combination with other drugs or therapeutic applications.

Abstract:

Throughout the history of Christian thought the theological role of scripture as source of transcendent meaning has exercised considerable influence on the art and manner of biblical interpretation. In the early church the problems revolved mostly around the canon, specifically although not exclusively the New Testament, as defining the confines of scripture. The question arose, therefore, which biblical writings were divinely inspired and which were of doubtful origin. The latter were unacceptable for the Christian communities that had broken away from their ancestral Judaic religion. Even before the canon was fixed, however, the problems shifted from the divinely inspired composition of the Bible to its intrinsic signification; interpreters saw scriptural language itself as infused with theological content. As exegetical positions led to the development of credal statements that solidified into theological dogma, the early church established a link between biblical interpretation and sound doctrine. By enforcing sanctioned interpretations through effective excommunication, an ever more powerful church sealed the dominance of orthodoxy over heresy with the nearly divine force of ecclesiastical authority. In the church-dominated culture of the Middle Ages, the adequacy of scriptural interpretation—its method, its content, the credentials of its practitioners—often depended on its conformity with an expanding theological tradition.
