Abstract:
Abstract Disease caused by the haplosporidian parasite, Bonamia exitiosa, swept through the dredge oyster (Ostrea chilensis) population of Foveaux Strait between 1986 and 1992, with consequent mortality reducing the population to 9% of the pre-disease level. Dead and dying oysters were first seen by fishers in far western Foveaux Strait in 1985 and more were found further east in 1986. Infection spread slowly through Foveaux Strait so the progress of the epizootic can be described from population surveys. A wave of infection radiated through the oyster population from the epicentre of infection in central western Foveaux Strait, and was followed by a wave of mortality. The epizootic ceased in oyster beds around the margins of oyster distribution in 1992. Infective particles released by diseased oysters spread through the water to infect other oysters directly. The epizootic broadly fitted a simple deterministic epizootic model and suggested that both diffusion and turbulent processes were important in transmission of infection. Bonamia exitiosa was also present in oysters at the end of an epizootic in 1964 and was probably the cause of that epizootic. Bonamiasis appears to be an endemic disease in Foveaux Strait. The high mortality in the 1986–1992 epizootic was like that caused by a newly introduced disease in an immunologically naïve population. We propose that other stressors have increased the susceptibility of oysters to this disease. Mechanical disturbance of oysters by increasingly intense dredging appears to be a major source of stress, as does the increasing scale of modification of benthic habitat by fishing. Recovery of the oyster population after the epizootic is closely linked to regeneration of habitat. The prognosis for the fishery could be improved by mitigating mechanical disturbance during dredging by use of lighter dredges and less damaging towing strategies, as well as pursuing rotational fishing strategies that allow benthic habitat to regenerate in undisturbed areas.

Abstract:
Marine biogeographers have long speculated that macroalgal rafting presents a dispersal mechanism for brooding marine invertebrates of the Southern Ocean, but few direct observations of rafting by echinoderm taxa have been documented. Here we report rafting of the brooding benthic sea star Anasterias suteri, along with two mollusc taxa (Onithochiton neglectus – also a brooder – and Cantharidus roseus), on detached bull-kelp Durvillaea antarctica in Foveaux Strait, southern New Zealand. The rafting journey, intercepted at sea, likely lasted for 2–3 weeks and may have covered several hundred kilometres. We use DNA sequences, together with meteorological and prevailing oceanographic data, to infer the likely Fiordland (mainland) origins of the raft and its epifauna. This rafting dispersal mechanism provides an explanation for the broad (circum-subantarctic) but disjunct distribution of brooding Anasterias populations, and for the genetic connectivity observed between their populations.

Abstract:
More than a century of dredging for oysters in the Foveaux Strait has resulted in a decimated fishery. In 1999 the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment asked the question: Where did we go wrong? This thesis provides answers to this question by presenting information provided by the Bluff oyster fishermen. In order to gain as much exposure to the community of fishermen as possible, a cumulative period of approximately six months was spent living in the town of Bluff between 2002 and 2007. During this time relationships were built with key informants, and a total of more than 50 community members were interviewed. The thesis describes the practical knowledge of the oyster fishermen, and places it in the context of more that 40 years of modem scientific studies concerned with the fishery. The finding are that since 1996 when the Quota Management System was introduced in the fishery, the most knowledgeable and responsible people in the fishery have been systematically excluded from roles in management. The practical knowledge of fishermen has been discounted in an industry and government led management system, which is an elaborate justification for continued maximum exploitation of the fishery. The theoretical contribution of the thesis lies in its description of belonging as a factor as important as that of property-rights in a sustainable resource system. The practical knowledge and conservation-mindedness of the fishery elders are characteristics of belonging, but not necessarily of ownership. Fishery management should recognize belonging as cultural capital, and make use of it under the present system (i.e. the Quota Management System) by according fishermen rights of management and access to the oyster fishery.

Abstract:
Saccades are fast conjugate eye movements that move both eyes quickly in the same direction, so that the image of an object of interest is brought on the foveae. Saccades can be made not only toward visual targets, but also toward auditory and tactile stimuli, as well as toward memorized targets. Saccades can be generated reflexively, and they are responsible for resetting the eyes back to the mid-orbital position during vestibulo-ocular or optokinetic stimulation. Saccades need to be fast to get the eyes on the target as soon as possible. They also need to be fast because our eyes act like cameras with slow shutters—vision is so blurred during saccades that the eyes have to move quickly to minimize the time during which no clear image is captured on the foveae. Indeed, saccades are the fastest type of eye movements, and they are among the fastest movements that the body can make. Saccade speed is not under voluntary control but depends on the size of the movement, with larger saccades attaining higher peak velocities. It has been estimated that we make more than 100,000 saccades per day. The burst neuron circuits in the brainstem provide the necessary motor signals to the extraocular muscles for the generation of saccades. There is a division of labor between the pons and the midbrain, with the pons primarily involved in generating horizontal saccades and the midbrain primarily involved in generating vertical and torsional saccades. However, because eye movements are a component of cognitive and purposeful behaviors in higher mammals, the process of deciding when and where to make a saccade occurs in the cerebral cortex. Not only does the cortex exert control over saccades through direct projections to the burst neuron circuits, it also acts via the superior colliculus. The superior colliculus is located in the midbrain and consists of seven layers: three superficial layers and four intermediate/ deep layers. The three superficial layers receive direct inputs from both the retina and striate cortex, and they contain a retinotopic representation of the contralateral visual hemifield.

Abstract:
Descriptions of all radial and ulnar fossils from Sterkfontein are presented. The relatively large sample of forelimb bones from Sterkfontein provide information about the elbow, wrist, and forearm of Australopithecus africanus. The proximal orientation of the olecranon process and anterior orientation of the trochlear notch suggest that the forelimb was used in flexed position, as in humans. The bones are small relative to other hominins, and have relatively straight diaphysis and small muscle attachment markings like other australopiths, suggesting the presence of reduced forearm muscularity relative to apes. Diaphyseal cross-sectional shape suggests a pattern of forearm muscle use that may be neither completely human-like nor ape-like but somewhat intermediate, perhaps reflecting a reduced use in locomotion and an increased use in manipulation. In contrast to the diaphysis, the proximal radius is more clearly ape-like, with beveled heads and constricted and relatively long necks comparable to the Hadar specimens, which underscores the unique morphology of the elbow (neither completely human-like nor ape-like) in these hominins. The distal ulna, with the well-marked tendon groove, deep fovea, and a head shape intermediate between apes and humans, like A. afarensis specimens, suggest that stability was required during loading and use of the hand and wrist, although possibly less so than in extant apes. The overall picture of the Sterkfontein forelimb is that of a taxon that had powerful arms, but less powerful than apes, and that they were using them for tasks such as manipulation and probably less so for locomotion.
