Abstract:
Abstract Frugivorous birds may be able to reduce the cost of processing seeds by discarding seeds, selecting fruits that have a high pulp-to-seed ratio, or by choosing fruit in which seeds are packaged in a way that the frugivore's gut can void them more rapidly. A preference for fruit based on pulp-to-seed ratio or seed composition within a fruit is likely to have important implications for plants and evolution of seed size. We tested whether captive Silvereyes (Zosterops lateralis) discriminate among artificial fruit on the basis of seed presence by presenting birds with artificial fruit with or without a seed. In the first experiment, fruit were translucent so that birds could see which fruit contained a seed. In the second experiment, the visual cue was removed. When Silvereyes were presented with a choice between translucent, artificial fruit with or without a seed, they showed a strong preference for fruit that did not contain a seed. However, when the visual cue to seed presence was removed, preference for seedless fruit was still significant, but markedly reduced. We also tested seed-size preference of Silvereyes in the field in Victoria, Australia. Seeds from a fruit commonly consumed by Silvereyes, fragrant saltbush (Rhagodia parabolica), were recovered from Silvereye faecal samples and their volumes measured. Comparisons were made between seed volumes of fruit consumed by Silvereyes and those within fruit available on the plant. Silvereyes consumed significantly smaller seeds than the mean size available on saltbush plants. When Silvereyes were presented with a cereal-based diet containing artificial seeds (designed to mimic large fruit containing many small seeds), they avoided seed ingestion and were able to consume proportionally more cereal than seeds, even when on a high seed-load diet (30%). Seed dispersal by Silvereyes may be inefficient for plant species with large fruit containing many small seeds, because Silvereyes in this experiment were able to avoid ingesting seeds.

Abstract:
Recent studies in the Northern Hemisphere have shown that songbirds living in noisy urban environments sing at higher frequencies than their rural counterparts. However, several aspects of this phenomenon remain poorly understood. These include the geographical scale over which such patterns occur (most studies have compared local populations), and whether they involve phenotypic plasticity or microevolutionary change. We conducted a field study of silvereye ( Zosterops lateralis ) vocalizations over more than 1 million km 2 of urban and rural south-eastern Australia, and compared possible effects of urban noise on songs (which are learned) and contact calls (which are innate). Across 14 paired urban and rural populations, silvereyes consistently sang both songs and contact calls at higher frequencies in urban environments. Syllable rate (syllables per second) decreased in urban environments, consistent with the hypothesis that reflective structures degrade song and encourage longer intervals between syllables. This comprehensive study is, to our knowledge, the first to demonstrate varied adaptations of urban bird vocalizations over a vast geographical area, and to provide insight into the mechanism responsible for these changes.

Abstract:
The physiological condition of a natural population of silvereyes was monitored near Margaret River in Western Australia in each month for a complete year. Plasma samples were analysed for total corticosteroids, glucose, osmolality, urea, sodium, potassium and chloride; blood haematocrit was recorded. Carcasses were processed to yield body weight, total body water, fat content, lean dry-body weight and lean dry weight of the breast muscles. These results showed that in March total corticosteroids were high, haematocrit was low and fat contents were low. In June, fat contents were low and urea levels were high. Although breast muscle weights did not differ significantly between months, lower mean values during June may indicate that the labile protein content is 58% lower than in May. These results indicate that silvereyes are stressed in March and in poor condition in March and June. March and June may be the periods when natural mortality limits the population size, even in years when the March food supply is adequate.

Abstract:
Birds are a major pest in vineyards both in New Zealand and overseas. There is a need for new behavioural research on birds' foraging habits and feeding preferences in vineyards, as much of the literature to date is anecdotal. Research on cues to birds' feeding will provide a basis on which new deterrent and control strategies can be devised. Spatial-and temporal bird damage in a small vineyard block was mapped to find if damage was correlated with grape maturity and environmental factors. Vineyard and field observations of bird behaviour using video technology combined with preference experiments aimed to establish the relative roles of grape sugar concentration and colour in avian selection. Proximity of vineyards to bird roosts affects damage levels, regardless of differing maturity between locations. The rate of damage tends to increase exponentially once grape maturity has passed a threshold of 13 °Brix. Bunches positioned closest to the ground receive more damage if blackbirds or song thrushes are the predominant pests. Both sugar concentration and grape colour were found to affect birds' feeding preference, but the importance of the two factors varied between years. Black and green grape varieties were differentially preferred by blackbirds (Turdus merula) and song thrushes (Turdus philomelos) while silvereyes (Zosterops lateralis) appeared to have no strong colour preference. It was apparent that there were other, not assessed, grape factors that also affect selection. In small unprotected vineyards that are adjacent to bird roosts the entire grape crop can be taken by bird pests. Besides removing the roosts, which can be beneficial shelterbelts in regions exposed to high winds, growers currently may have no alternative other than to use exclusion netting to keep crops intact. The differential preferences between bird species for variety characteristics suggest that any new deterrents and other strategies to deflect birds from grape crops may need to be species-specific.

Abstract:
The main objective of my investigation was to ascertain the prevalence and impact of avian pox in New Zealand silvereyes (Zosterops lateralis). Silvereyes were mist--‐netted between 2010 and 2012 in three locations of the South Island and were examined for external signs of avian pox. Of the 409 silvereyes captured over this time period, avian pox lesions were identified in 9 birds (2.2%) and were found in both sexes as well as in juveniles. The highest incidence of avian pox was seen on the west coast at Moana (7.2%) between late May and mid--‐June 2011. Overall prevalence for each location over the period of the survey ranged from 1% in Kaikoura, Christchurch 3.6% and Moana 3.5% suggesting only slight differences between populations. I next investigated the prevalence of avian pox in a community of forest passerines at Kowhai Bush Kaikoura in the spring of 2012. Pox lesions were observed in 2/492 of the birds caught. Both cases (3.8%, n=52) were in the introduced chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs). Pox occurred in < 1% of individuals of the introduced species (n=313) and was absent in all native and endemic species (n=189). No pox lesions were seen in silvereyes captured in the 2012 Kaikoura survey (0/69). White blood cell profiles, fat scores and mass where also compared between silvereyes with and without avian pox lesions but no differences were found, however, the small sample of individuals with pox meant the power to detect a difference was low. A review of the literature on avian pox revealed a similar low prevalence of avian pox to that seen in this study and the prevalence of avian pox seen in other populations of white--‐eyes in New Zealand and elsewhere. However, across a range of other passerine species, avian pox was significantly more prevalent in geographically isolated endemic species than other groups. My investigation suggests that avian pox needs to be monitored over extended periods to estimate its prevalence and how its epizootiology is influenced by a variety of biotic and abiotic factors. Furthermore, my investigation reveals the need for more information, including the identification of the type and virulence of strains present in New Zealand and the role that silvereyes and introduced birds may have on the dynamics of avian pox in rare endemic birds.

Abstract:
This research investigated a number of issues regarding hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the silvery gibbon (Hylobates moloch). Due to the relatively recent discovery of the virus in nonhuman primate populations, specific knowledge of the biological behaviour of the virus is presently lacking, with current information largely extrapolated from the behaviour of HBV in human infections. In order to manage the captive and wild populations of this critically endangered species, information regarding the behaviour of the virus in gibbons and the likely impact of the viral infection is essential. The research was performed at Perth Zoo, with the study population consisting of the current and historical members of the zoo’s silvery gibbon colony. Because this gibbon species is critically endangered, the study was conducted with minimal intervention to the population with samples collected largely on an opportunistic basis from a small study population. Review of the history of the virus within the Perth Zoo colony provided epidemiological evidence to indicate vertical transmission in three gibbons (Hecla, Uban and Jury). It would appear that vertical transmission is the primary mode of transmission leading to dispersal of the virus through the captive population of silvery gibbons. Elevated concentrations of the liver enzymes alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were found in three gibbons (Perth 2, Uban and Jury), and may suggest a pathogenic role of the virus in this species. Histological examination of the livers of Uban and Perth 2 failed to demonstrate definitive evidence of cirrhosis, however mild fibrosis was seen in both cases and may represent an early stage of liver pathology associated with chronic hepatitis B infection. The vaccination protocol developed at Perth Zoo was successful in preventing neonatal transmission of the virus from a high infectivity carrier mother in at least two individuals, and was also successful in producing a protective level of immunity against the virus in all three of the individuals tested. Sequencing of the complete hepatitis B genome from one gibbon (Hecla) revealed that she was infected with GiHV (Gibbon hepatitis B virus), an indigenous strain of HBV previously identified in a number of gibbon species, but not previously confirmed in the silvery gibbon. Hecla's strain of HBV was shown to be more closely related to other nonhuman primate strains of HBV than to any of the human strains of HBV. 100% nucleotide similarity to two of Hecla’s siblings indicates that infection in all three animals was the result of vertical transmission from their mother. Partial sequencing of the virus from a second gibbon (Uban) identified another strain of GiHBV which supports the results of the epidemiological study. Neither gibbon showed a high sequence similarity to the virus sequenced from Ivan, the father of the third carrier gibbon (Jury), although only limited sequence data was available from Ivan. Consequently it is likely that at least three different strains of GiHBV are present within the silvery gibbon population. The information contained in this thesis will assist in the understanding and management of hepatitis B infection in silvery gibbons, as well as the numerous other species of nonhuman primates now shown to be susceptible to this virus.

Abstract:
Concentrated solar power systems are expected to be sited in desert locations where the direct normal irradiation is above 1800 kWh/m2.year. These systems include large solar collector assemblies, which account for a significant share of the investment cost. Solarreflectors are the main components of these solar collector assemblies and dust/sand storms may affect their reflectance properties, either by soiling or by surface abrasion. While soiling can be reverted by cleaning, surface abrasion is a non reversible degradation.The aim of this project was to study the accelerated aging of second surface silvered thickglass solar reflectors under simulated sandstorm conditions and develop a multi-parametric model which relates the specular reflectance loss to dust/sand storm parameters: wind velocity, dust concentration and time of exposure. This project focused on the degradation caused by surface abrasion.Sandstorm conditions were simulated in a prototype environmental test chamber. Material samples (6cm x 6cm) were exposed to Arizona coarse test dust. The dust stream impactedthese material samples at a perpendicular angle. Both wind velocity and dust concentrationwere maintained at a stable level for each accelerated aging test. The total exposure time in the test chamber was limited to 1 hour. Each accelerated aging test was interrupted every 4 minutes to measure the specular reflectance of the material sample after cleaning.The accelerated aging test campaign had to be aborted prematurely due to a contamination of the dust concentration sensor. A robust multi-parametric degradation model could thus not be derived. The experimental data showed that the specular reflectance loss decreasedeither linearly or exponentially with exposure time, so that a degradation rate could be defined as a single modeling parameter. A correlation should be derived to relate this degradation rate to control parameters such as wind velocity and dust/sand concentration.The sandstorm chamber design would have to be updated before performing further accelerated aging test campaigns. The design upgrade should improve both the reliability of the test equipment and the repeatability of accelerated aging tests. An outdoor exposure test campaign should be launched in deserts to learn more about the intensity, frequencyand duration of dust/sand storms. This campaign would also serve to correlate the results of outdoor exposure tests with accelerated exposure tests in order to develop a robust service lifetime prediction model for different types of solar reflector materials.

Abstract:
Silvery threadmoss is a problematic weed of golf putting greens, growing interspersed with turf, decreasing aesthetic quality and playability.  Moss is typically controlled postemergence and currently only one herbicide, carfentrazone, is registered for silvery threadmoss control on greens.  Carfentrazone controls moss up to 75% applied at a three week interval throughout the growing season.  Alternatives providing longer residual or more effective control are desirable.  Studies were conducted to examine the growth of moss gametophytes from spores and bulbils and to evaluate turf protection products for pre and postemergence moss control.  Moss gametophytes develop best from spores at 30"aC and from bulbils at 23"aC.  Products which control moss equivalent to carfentrazone (>70%) both pre and postemergent include sulfentrazone, saflufenacil, flumioxazin, oxadiazon, and oxyfluorfen.  Fosamine and fosetyl-Al alone controlled moss equivalent to carfentrazone post-, but not preemergent.  14C glyphosate absorption and translocation through moss colonies was examined from 12 to 192 hours after treatment (HAT) to understand how herbicides are absorbed by silvery threadmoss.  It appears that 14C reaches equilibrium by 24 HAT in capillary water of the moss colony and inside moss tissues.  Subsequently, 14C is lost to the system presumably through microorganism degradation of 14C glyphosate in capillary water.  The final objective of this work was to identify and evaluate two fungal organisms observed to cause disease of silvery threadmoss on putting greens in efforts to develop a biological control.  The organisms were identified by morphology and ITS sequence as Alternaria sp. and Sclerotium rolfsii.  Alternaria sp. causes a leaf disease of silvery threadmoss and Sclerotium rolfsii causes Southern blight of silvery threadmoss.  Host specificity testing demonstrated moderate pathogenicity of S. rolfsii to annual bluegrass but not to "¥Penn A4"" creeping bentgrass.  Both organisms have potential to be effective biological controls for silvery threadmoss; however, host specificity indicates Alternaria sp. may be a better choice.  Data from these experiments suggest herbicides in two chemical classes control mosses both pre and postemergence, and sulfentrazone, fosetyl-Al, and Alternaria sp. may be new alternatives to carfentrazone for use on golf putting greens.

Controlling and preventing the spread of silvery-thread moss (STM, Bryum argenteum Hedw.) in putting greens is a difficult task for superintendents. Once established, a STM infestation can quickly increase through the movement of asexual propagules, such as shoot fragments, bulbils and protonema. Many practices used by superintendents are likely aiding in the dispersal and establishment of propagules. Research is needed to help superintendents effectively control this very invasive pest. The objectives of this research were to: 1) Investigate the cumulative effect of cultivation on a STM infestation in a creeping bentgrass putting green, when used with or without light, frequent topdressing and the herbicide carfentrazone; 2) Determine if STM growth is reduced by spraying ammonium sulfate (AMS) compared to urea, and understand the effect of spray volume on STM growth; 3) Evaluate the effectiveness of a range of carfentrazone rates for postemergence STM control; and 4) Determine if altering the pH of irrigation water with sulfuric- or hydrochloric acid affects the growth of STM. Generally, cultivation and carfentrazone reduced STM cover; however, the greatest reduction in STM cover was achieved when cultivation treatments were used in conjunction with carfentrazone. Topdressing did not affect STM cover. Ammonium sulfate increased STM cover and dry weight compared to urea and an untreated control. Furthermore, spray volume did not affect STM cover at any rating date. Superintendents managing STM infestations should limit or avoid use of AMS as an N source. At 28 days after treatment (DAT) the ED[subscript]90 (dose required to cause 90% gametophyte injury) was 26.8 g ai ha[superscript]-1, and at 49 DAT ED[subscript]90 was 54.3 g ai ha[superscript]-1; both of these doses are substantially lower than the label rates for long- and short-term control, respectively. As compared with label recommendations, this research suggests lower carfentrazone rates, and longer intervals, may be effective for STM control in putting greens. Irrigation pH affected STM growth, with pH’s 5 and 6 having increased growth compared to pH’s 7 and 8. It was hypothesized a lower irrigation pH enabled STM to better withstand sodium stress.

Dollar spot, caused by Sclerotinia homoeocarpa F.T. Bennett, and silvery-thread moss (Bryum argenteum Hedw.) are pests affecting creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) that typically require pesticide inputs. New strategies for pest management may reduce chemical inputs. The objectives of these 2009-2010 field studies were to evaluate: 1) creeping bentgrass cultivars for dollar spot susceptibility; 2) alternative chemical controls for silvery-thread moss; and 3) the response of silvery-thread moss to nitrogen (N) sources. During peak dollar spot development, ‘Declaration’, ‘A-4’, and ‘Crenshaw’ had 7.5, 139.4, and 288.9 infection centers m[superscript]-2 under fairway and 2.1, 27.2, and 106.9 infection centers m[superscript]-2 under putting green conditions, respectively. Two spring and two fall spot applications of sodium or potassium bicarbonate (45 g a.i. L[superscript]-1), premixed essential oil, and broadcast applications of carfentrazone-ethyl at 0.09 kg a.i. ha[superscript]-1 suppressed moss 39% to 55% compared to untreated in 2009. Spot sprays of sodium or potassium bicarbonate, and essential oil, were phytotoxic to creeping bentgrass and required up to 8 or 18 days, respectively, to return to acceptable quality. Fertilization with liquid urea (N at 16.3 kg ha[superscript]-1 biweekly, 210 kg ha[superscript]-1 annually) resulted in 147%, 150%, and 155% more moss than fertilization with IBDU, organic N, and granular urea, respectively, and 156% more moss compared to untreated. Fertilization with urea (liquid or granular) resulted in the best creeping bentgrass color. Averaged across the entire season, plots treated with organic N had unacceptable color in 2009. Nitrogen concentrations in moss tissue ranged from 0.4% to 1.0% and were always significantly lower than N concentrations observed in creeping bentgrass (1.1% to 2.1%), regardless of treatment. In 2010, moss treated with liquid urea had higher tissue N concentrations (1.0%) than untreated moss (0.5%) or that fertilized with IBDU (0.4%). In summary, use of dollar spot-resistant creeping bentgrass cultivars could reduce fungicide requirements. Bicarbonate and essential oil products can reduce moss severity at a similar level to carfentrazone-ethyl, but rates and/or application methods need to be optimized to avoid injury to creeping bentgrass. Applications of liquid urea enhanced moss coverage in creeping bentgrass compared to other N sources.
