Abstract:
AbstractBased on an analysis of the 2017 same-sex marriage postal survey results and the results of the 2017 Queensland state election, this paper observes that residents of the south-east corner of the state appear to adopt feminine values as opposed to the masculinity for which Queensland is known. The results underscore the ‘two Queenslands’ thesis, which posits that the single geographic state of Queensland has cleaved over time into two entities quite distinct in their economic, political, social and cultural form. Moreover, they add fuel to the debate about secession. As residents of the south-east continue to develop their own identity, the desire for a state of South-East Queensland could at some point become a realistic scenario.

Abstract:
The crustacean order Bathynellacea is amongst the most diverse and widespread groups of subterranean aquatic fauna (stygofauna) in Australia. Interest in the diversity and biogeography of Australian Bathynellacea has grown markedly in recent years. However, relatively little information relating to this group has emerged from Queensland. The aim of this study was to investigate bathynellacean diversity and phylogeny in south-east Queensland. Relationships between the south-east Queensland fauna and their continental relatives were evaluated through the analysis of combined mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence data. Bathynellaceans were collected from alluvial groundwater systems in three catchments in south-east Queensland. This study revealed a diverse bathynellacean fauna with complex evolutionary relationships to related fauna elsewhere in Queensland, and on the wider Australian continent. The multifamily assemblage revealed here is likely to represent several new species, and at least one new genus within the Parabathynellidae. These taxa likely have relatively restricted geographic distributions. Interestingly, the south-east Queensland Bathynellacea appeared to be distantly related to their north-east Queensland counterparts. Although it was not possible to determine the generic identities of their closest relatives, the south-east Queensland Parabathynellidae appear to be most closely affiliated with southern and eastern Australian lineages. Together with previous survey data, the findings here suggest that there is likely to be considerable bathynellacean diversity in alluvial groundwater systems across the wider Queensland region. Further assessment of stygofauna distributions in south-east Queensland is necessary to understand the biological implications of significant groundwater use and development in the region.

Abstract:
Seasonality determinations by growth ring analysis are provided for 112 marine fish vertebrae excavated from late Holocene archaeological sites in coastal south-east Queensland. These indicate that fishing was undertaken throughout the year. It is concluded that models of Late Holocene subsistence and settlement in this region which rely on an assumption of winter dominance in marine fish harvesting must be rejected. This has implications for models which relate seasonal resource gluts to forms of social complexity.

Abstract:
A typescript of a woman's diary deposited at the Mitchell Library in the 1970s contains some intriguing exchanges for the historian of the frontier. The diarist is unnamed — never a good omen for a primary document — but the uneven entries and the diary's passing mention of some of the people on Durundur Station from October 1842 to May 1843 give it the weight of authenticity. Our informant, ‘the wife of an employee of the Archers’, arrived on the station in October 1842, only six months after the north had officially been opened for free settlement and only a little over twelve months since David Archer had established this pastoral lease. She had arrived as part of a group of fourteen labourers and mechanics sent from one of the Archer estates in Scotland, and settled on one of the few stations to establish good relations with the traditional owners of the region. Her employer was among the more religious of the Archer brothers — a renowned family of Queensland pastoralists — and he was much taken with the idealism of the Evangelical movement. He refused to hunt the Dalla of the Blackall-D'Aguilar Ranges from their country and was determined to build peaceful relations with the traditional owners.

Abstract:
This research study explores the issue of teacher leadership in South-East Queensland Anglican schools. An initial exploration of the context of Anglican education in South-East Queensland confirmed that both nationally and within the Anglican system, hierarchical understandings of school leadership were being challenged amidst a growing expectation of teacher leadership. However, despite this expectation of teacher leadership, there was little in respect to formal policy and resource support for teacher leadership within South-East Queensland Anglican schools. This research study seeks to gain a more informed and sophisticated understanding of teacher leadership, with particular focus on the perspective of classroom teachers. A comprehensive analysis of key literature in educational change, professionalism in education and educational leadership, revealed a number of key insights that informed this study. Significant socio-economic change in recent decades has brought about corresponding educational change. This has resulted in a call for greater professionalism in education and a new paradigm of educational leadership. Within this context, there is new interest in distributing leadership beyond the formal role of the principal and into the hands of teacher leaders. However, a further review of the literature highlighted the lack of a clear conceptualisation of teacher leadership. While teacher leadership is predominantly considered in the literature as the domain of those in formal, positional roles, less is known about informal, in-class teacher leadership. Based on these insights, the researcher identified one major research question: How do teachers, who are recognised as teacher leaders in South-East Queensland Anglican schools, conceptualise teacher leadership? To answer this research question, four research sub-questions were posed: Behaviour of teacher leaders - What do they do? Purpose of teacher leadership - Why do teachers strive for this? Feelings of teacher leaders - How do they feel about what they do? Support for teacher leaders - What do they need? This research study is situated within the theoretical framework of symbolic interactionism. As both a perspective and a method, symbolic interactionism is situated within a pragmatic constructivist research paradigm. This research study explored a restricted group of 16 teachers within three South-East Queensland Anglican schools, and employed qualitative research methods including Experience Sampling Method and focus group interviews. The findings of this research study suggest that teacher leaders in South-East Queensland Anglican schools have a confused conceptualisation of teacher leadership, with little common symbolic language to delineate the phenomenon. This study made the following conclusions in relation to teacher leadership in South-East Queensland Anglican schools: The broad understanding of teacher leadership is unrecognised in the field of education. Teacher leadership is a complex phenomenon. Teacher leadership is principled action in support of learning. There is untapped potential for teacher leaders to act as change agents in school revitalisation. Collegial relationships, the provision of time, relevant professional development and administrative support enable teacher leadership There is a need for a role-making policy to support teacher leadership. The development of teacher leadership in South-East Queensland Anglican schools requires support from the Anglican Schools Commission, school principals and the teachers themselves, through deliberate action in developing appropriate policy and practice.

Abstract:
Pregnancy is a state of constant physiological compensation, processes that simultaneously account for the physical needs of both mother and foetus. These changes create a complex and continuously evolving environment, one which depends on essential elements for continued optimal function. While these processes are vital to the maintenance of pregnancy, they are also pivotal to parturition, a process which relies on the actions of numerous micronutrients for essential endocrine and inflammatory pathways. As such, proper maternal nutrition is pivotal to optimal birth outcomes. Global, national and state agencies address nutrition within theoretical and conceptual frameworks; these interact with governance, clinical, and consumer factors to create complexities individuals must navigate when making nutrition-related decisions. This decision-making becomes more complicated during pregnancy due to social influences, such as advertising and peer pressure, and cultural factors such as food avoidance, traditions and beliefs. The confluence of these determinants influences each woman’s nutrition state, with the potential to result in transgenerational health consequences. Malnutrition is associated with suboptimal perinatal outcomes, a situation not restricted to low and middle-income countries. Although outcomes in these regions have improved with supplement interventions, research is yet to determine the efficacy of supplementation in high-income countries. However, despite the lack of evidence surrounding their safety and efficacy, and recommendations relating to the use of supplements during pregnancy, the pregnancy supplement market is estimated to reach a value of $673.8 million by the year 2025. This quantitative research explored data collected from three cross-sectional cohorts in order to explore the associations between micronutrient supplementation and birth outcomes in South-East Queensland women. The first of these datasets – the Environments for Healthy Living cohort - was a longitudinal birth cohort study with self-reported perinatal data collection undertaken between 2006 and 2011. The second was the Gold Coast Health and Hospital Service Maternity Information System cohort; a clinician controlled digital perinatal database with data available from 2014 to 2017. The third was the Maternal Outcomes and Nutrition Tool database, a cohort recruited explicitly for this study between 2016 and 2018, self-declaring data using a specially designed digital data collection tool. Collectively, these three cohorts examine the relationships between demographics, socio-cultural factors, micronutrition status, supplement use, dietary decision-making and their influence on the birth outcomes of 9300 women from South-East Queensland over the twelve years from 2006 to 2018. Six research aims informed three formative enquiries addressing the central research question. These aims examined evidence informing current recommendations regarding micronutrient supplements during pregnancy in Australia, determined if evidence of benefit exists regarding micronutrient supplements and birth outcomes in South-East Queensland women and explored the human factors affecting nutrition-related decision making in the study population. This research aimed to determine relationships between socio-cultural determinants of health, micronutrition, supplement use and birth outcomes in pregnant women of South-East Queensland. A literature review was conducted, highlighting current limitations and knowledge gaps relating to the influence of supplementation in nutritionally replete and high-income populations. Furthermore, current data collections were found to exhibit significant limitations inhibiting accurate determination of causal relationships. As such evidence informing current recommendations during pregnancy was determined to be neither robust nor contemporary. Driving dietary decision making were several social, health, cultural and economic factors. These include smoking, income, education, cultural and linguistic diversity, access to maternity care models, the range of maternity care models and providers, and health service resources. In particular, women from low-socioeconomic backgrounds - including women who smoke and women from cultural and linguistically diverse backgrounds - reported nutrition motives that position health factors as a low priority. While these women did not demonstrate evidence of benefit from micronutrient supplements, they did declare nutrition decision-making behaviours that would benefit from dietary counselling and support strategies. The synthesis of information afforded by this research has determined that micronutrient supplementation is not appropriate in pregnant women of South-East Queensland. Further, supplementation did not improve birth outcomes in either the general population or in women from demographic groups considered to be at risk for suboptimal outcomes. Conversely, non-therapeutic use demonstrated the capacity for detrimental effects across all three cohorts, particularly concerning the effect of micronutrient supplements on overweight women and the incidence of prolonged pregnancy. Determination of what constitutes sustainable, safe and effective nutrition interventions in women at risk of suboptimal birth outcomes requires further empirical research.

Abstract:
This thesis attempts to describe the experiences of adult African immigrants in South East Queensland, who, as a relatively recent and growing immigrant group in Australia, have not been the subject of significant research attention. The empirical study explores their lived experiences by focusing in particular on the role of racialised ‘black skin’ identity constructions in their migration and settlement experiences. Specifically, the study examines the mediating effects of race and skin colour, and how differences in ‘race’ and ‘racialised’ identity constructions interact to impact their experiences as visible immigrants in Australia. The central research question asks how African immigrants define their identity, personal and socioeconomic well-being in white majority Australia. The study examines also these related sub-questions: How do African immigrants describe the impacts of racialised black skin colour on their everyday lives in Australia? What does living in a black body mean for African immigrants in Australia?

Abstract:
It is becoming increasingly evident for business and industry that integrating the principles of sustainable development into their policies and practices is essential to stay competitive and successful in the coming years. Industrial Ecology is one of the mechanisms available for business and industry to adopt and apply the principles of sustainable development. In its simplest forms, IE suggests that one industry's byproduct can be the raw material for another industry. This way, industries can achieve greater material efficiency and collaborating with other industries can create new businesses. The diversity of industries within an IE network helps the group for wider options and hence larger profitability. In this regard, greater economic viability can be achieved if the industries operate in the close proximity of each other to save transportation costs. The main objective of this study was to examine the concepts of industrial ecology and waste exchange and their potential applications to industrial parks in South East Queensland. To achieve the objectives of the study, a survey of businesses and industries in three key industrial estates in the region; Carole Park, Gateway Ports and Narangba, was conducted and the data were analysed in this thesis. The three estates provided a good sample of industries in this region. The survey results were analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively to provide an overall view of the potential for Industrial Ecology in Southeast Queensland. The study also involved obtaining information from various industries and government organizations through semistructured interviews. These interviews were used to develop an updated and more informed assessment of the current status with regards to IE in Southeast Queensland. Twenty-four out of 81 industries in the Carole Park Industrial Estate participated in the survey. Metal related industries constituted 44% of total participating companies, forming the largest group in the Carole Park estate. From 60 industries in the Gateway Ports industrial estate, 19 firms participated in the survey. Chemical related industries constituted 27% of total participating companies, forming the largest group in the Gateway Ports. The metal manufacturing industries were the second largest group, constituting 21 % of the total. The survey forms were sent to 43 industries in the Narangba estate, and responses were received from twenty-seven of them. Petroleum and chemical manufacturing industries together with metal related industries fonned the largest industry groups in the Narangba estate. The most common reason for not participating in the survey by the industries in the three estates was lack of time. The results revealed that most of the surveyed businesses and industries in the three estates were interested in the industrial ecology concept, but were uncertain about its practicality and economic viability. Most companies favoured minimizing waste by efficiency in material use for improving environmental performance. But economical or tax incentive were the most popular options for improving environmental performance amongst industries. Legislative requirement, productivity, and economical advantages/disadvantages were the most important factors influencing environmental management policies and practices. Evidence of manufacturing and distribution networks were found in the three estates, but there were concerns over industrial ecology networks being economically disadvantageous for individual companies in terms of the potential loss to their competitiveness and the quality of their products and services. Most companies considered the cost and economical issues as limiting factors for implementing environmental performance changes. The results also revealed that to enhance the opportunity for IE to succeed, participating industrial estates needed to be large enough and to contain a diverse range of businesses and industries to warrant viable exchanges.

Abstract:
Prescribed burning can play an important role in forest maintenance and management worldwide. Australia is one of the few countries around the world with knowledge and experience in the use of controlled fire for fuel management and ecological purposes. In Australia, prescribed burning, has been used to meet several objectives including protection of forests against wildfires through managing fuel loads, ecosystem maintenance by increasing vegetation, and elimination of pests and diseases. Climate change and the increases in the incidence and severity of wildfire push forest managers to establish prescribed fire regimes with low severity prescribed burning to protect housing and infrastructure from wildfire damage. Prescribed burning has become a more frequent management tool in suburban forests, leading to alteration in the physical, chemical, and biological properties of forest soils. Fire influences ecosystem patterns and processes by affecting vegetation diversity and structure, carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and other nutrients cycles, but these effects are dependent on fire regimes (e.g. frequency and severity). The interval between fires is critical in forest management because the long interval period burns may allow a potentially severe fire hazard to exist, while burning frequently with short interval period may result in loss of soil fertility leading to ecosystem vulnerability.

Full text
Abstract:
Information is required on the ecological value of all urban land types in order to provide an ecological basis for urban zoning decisions, to predict development impacts and to identify much needed opportunities for off-reserve conservation. One land type (the suburban golf course) has experienced a dramatic global proliferation in recent decades, as courses are increasingly constructed as part of new housing developments and resorts. Golf courses account for a growing proportion of the urban land area in Australia and will have an increasingly significant impact on urban biodiversity. The nature of their influence is however contentious. While many suggest golf courses have a negative impact on biodiversity, others believe they can provide refugial habitat for native wildlife. This potential refuge value has been nurtured by the golf industry as a way to improve its environmental reputation. However while the industry has initiated programs to enhance the quality of habitats on golf courses, it is uncertain whether such small-scale conservation efforts can have more than a cosmetic effect. The ubiquity of suburban golf courses makes their possible ecological contribution more significant and thus worthy of investigation. This study assessed the conservation status of suburban golf courses in south-east Queensland Australia between 2001-2004, by comparing assemblages of birds, reptiles, mammals and amphibians on 20 representative golf courses with those in 10 nearby eucalypt remnants and with bird assemblages in 10 suburban areas. The ecological characteristics of wildlife utilising golf courses were compared with those shared by animals common to residential areas and to native eucalypt forest. Local changes in bird diversity were assessed following the clearance of small vegetation remnants on a suburban golf course. Finally, the ecological value gained by increasing the size and complexity of native habitats on golf courses was assessed, by investigating the extent to which differences in biodiversity among golf courses were attributed to the size, shape and complexity of local, landscape and regional habitats on and adjacent to golf courses. Golf courses displayed extreme variation in conservation value. While a number of golf courses had significant refuge value, supporting high densities of regionally threatened vertebrates, most supported only common urban-adapted species and therefore failed to realise that potential. Wildlife assemblages in residential areas and on most golf courses were more homogenised than those in eucalypt forests and were generally dominated by species with broad ecological tolerances. In contrast, ecological specialists were restricted to eucalypt forests and a minority of golf courses. The clearance of even small remnants of native vegetation on a single golf course had a significant homogenising effect on local bird assemblages with a diverse range of regionally threatened birds being replaced by a small number of urban-adapted species. Golf courses that did have refuge value had the capacity to accommodate most regionally threatened species. In general, golf courses were a better refuge for threatened birds and mammals than for threatened reptiles and amphibians. The relative absence of threatened herpetofauna may reflect heightened sensitivity to habitat isolation, faster rates of local decline, to increased local threats (i.e. predation or herbicide exposure) or a difference in the extent to which their habitats have been compromised. Differences in biodiversity among golf courses were attributed to environmental factors acting at local, landscape and regional scales. While the local diversity of all vertebrates was partly determined (and therefore restricted by) regional influences, the local abundance and species richness of threatened vertebrates still closely reflected the size and structural complexity of on-course habitats. The diversity of all vertebrates increased with the area of native vegetation retained locally. Species-area curves were observed among reptiles, birds and mammals. Contrary to other studies, there was no distinct threshold in the species-area relationship. Threatened species gradually disappeared from the landscape as patch sizes decreased below 5ha. The lack of any distinct threshold highlights the dangers of proposing spatially explicit guidelines to ecologically sound development. Patches should always be as large as possible if they are intended to provide refuge to threatened vertebrates. Remnant size was however, co-correlated with structural complexity, with the understorey of smaller remnants often cleared to increase course playability. Biodiversity in small remnants (less than 5ha) may therefore be increased by enhancing the structural complexity of local habitats. Bird diversity increased with foliage height diversity and native grass cover. Mammal diversity increased with tree density, native grass cover and the abundance of hollows. Reptile diversity increased with the abundance of woody debris and declined with the proportion of turfgrass cover. The diversity of amphibians increased with waterbody diversity, the complexity of aquatic and riparian vegetation, the number of connecting streams and declined with the steepness and proportion of turfgrass cover on waterbody banks. Golf courses can evidently provide locally valuable refuges for threatened vertebrates and have a clear opportunity to make an important localised contribution to urban wildlife conservation in SEQ. The extent to which this potential is realised will however depend on the extent to which ecological criteria are incorporated into golf course design and management practices. The current low conservation status of most existing golf courses reflects a historic lack of regulation and formal Environmental Impact Assessment within the golf industry. This has seen few golf courses retain any substantial area of complex core vegetation. While the industry is aware of its conservation potential, the economic pressures affecting modern course designs will tend to restrict the area of native vegetation that can be retained (particularly among housing development courses where there is pressure to maximise the area of land available for housing). Legislation recognising and protecting the value of small remnants in new golf developments may be required if the golf industry is to realise its conservation potential.

Abstract:
Landslides occur annually worldwide from natural and man-made influences with high levels of destruction. The prediction and mitigation of landslide occurrences can be largely beneficial in minimizing destruction and loss of life due to such occurrences. Observations on the causes of landslides, ranging from earthquakes, geological instabilities and human excavations and cuttings from slopes, have detailed rainfall of a prolonged or heavy nature has been deemed the primary cause, often occurring in mountainous terrain. Documented devastating occurrences of rainfall-induced landslides causing destruction to infrastructure and property, along with loss of human life, have occurred in many European countries, America, Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, Nepal and India. Australia is not free of landslide risk with a summarised cataloguing detailing over 114 known landslides causing injury or death and damage to infrastructure between 1842 to December 2011. One particularly devastating landslide in Australia occurred in Thredbo, New South Wales, in 1997, causing the death of 18 people as a result of heavy rainfall coupled with snowmelt. This historical evidence of landslide activity indicates a need for the monitoring of landslides within Australian mountainous regions. The mountainous regions between Mudgeeraba and the Currumbin Valley of south-east Queensland are particularly susceptible to shallow landslides during large rainfall weather events, due to the general steepness of slopes and weathered top layers of soil overlaying bedrock. As roadways are limited through these mountain passes, rainfall-induced shallow landslides can leave people stranded either in dire need of resources or medical aid. A prime example of a weather event leading to rainfall-induced shallow landslides in south-east Queensland was ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie, on the 31st of March, 2017. Local government reported an excess of some 25 major landslides along road corridors of the mountainous areas. Rainfall of the event saw in excess of 700 mm over 2 days. Though not always cyclonic in nature, weather patterns like these are exhibited in the region yearly, causing slope instabilities. Although landslides can occur annually in south-east Queensland, there has been limited investigation undertaken into the causes and effects of this phenomenon within the region. This means there is an ongoing risk to economy and human life, requiring the identification of key indicators of rainfall-induced shallow landslides in the region. This thesis presents a comprehensive investigation into the relationships between rainfall, slope and soil characteristics and the identification of the role they play for the initiation of rainfall-induced shallow landslides occurring in south-east Queensland. Through this thesis’ analysis, the development of predictive methods for future patterns in rainfall-induced shallow landslides for the south-east Queensland region is accomplished. The thesis scope is limited to the analysis of rainfall-induced shallow landslides occurring in the coarse-grained sandy soil typically observed between Mudgeeraba and the Currumbin Valley mountainous regions. Approaches to prediction of rainfall-induced shallow landslides are limited to the use of laboratory flume-based investigations, rainfall intensity-duration thresholds and limit equilibrium method for slope stability analysis of the region. A key mechanism finding for the onset of landslides in south-east Queensland is the observation of drastic reduction in shear strength due to increased moisture content of the soil tested. Knowing this, moisture content was found to be a suitable predictor of landslide initiation when monitored using appropriate measuring devices. From this study, it was identified that slopes in the region exhibiting slope angles between 45 to 55° are susceptible to failure when impacted by rainfalls in the range of 40 to 100 mm/h. This information aided in the development of simple predictive modelling techniques. The information obtained through the research of this thesis is beneficial for local government authorities and roadway contractors and engineers in the industry that can utilise simple tools for the prediction of rainfall-induced shallow landslides in south-east Queensland. Furthermore, from the observation of moisture content being a suitable predictor of landslide initiation, field monitoring setups could be put in place by government or researchers to further watch and study the phenomenon. These findings are applicable and can be extrapolated to other regions of the world potentially allowing for proactive risk management and reduction in destruction and damage to persons.

Abstract:
The thermal behaviour of rocks has recently become an important topic for rock engineering due to developments in deep underground applications. Because of the extensive depth of these applications, more hazards occur such as rock bursts, external fires and gas explosions. The main reasons behind these underground rock disasters are the high temperatures and pressures. Therefore, the research focus on the thermal behaviour of rock is important for the safety and maintenance of underground applications. A good deal of research has been conducted so far about the thermal behaviour of rocks. The existing literature on the thermal behaviour of rocks in Australia is currently restricted to a few regions, largely in New South Wales and Victoria. The literature suggests that the mechanical properties of heated rock behave differently due to various geological and stress conditions, even for the same rock types. The thermal behaviour of common rocks (basalt, argillite, and sandstone) in South East Queensland has not yet been identified. The aim of the present research is to study the thermal behaviour of common rocks in South East Queensland and to develop a damage model. In this, the physical and mechanical properties of thermally treated rocks have been investigated by conducting porosity tests, point load tests, uniaxial compressive strength tests, and triaxial tests. These outcomes were further examined in X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), derivative thermogravimetry (DTG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and micro-computed tomography (CT) analyses of the mineral composition and microstructure. It was found that the mineral composition and microstructure determine the engineering properties of rock under high temperatures. The critical temperature obtained using a thermal damage coefficient may vary significantly from the threshold temperature, and thus, for deep geological applications, it is recommended to determine both parameters. It was observed that high temperature treatment can significantly affect rock damage, more so than thermal cycle treatment. To predict the total damage of the rock, a thermomechanical damage model was proposed and applied to sandstone. This research will contribute to both theory and practice by providing a laboratory database, empirical correlations, and coupled thermo-mechanical damage model for common rocks in South East Queensland. More importantly, the outcome of this research will help to enhance the safety of deep underground projects.

Abstract:
South East Queensland has been one of the fastest growing regions of Australia, both in terms of its rapidly growing population and an ever-expanding built environment. It is also one of the most vulnerable regions likely to suffer from the adverse impacts of climate change, especially increased flooding, storms, coastal erosion and drought. Responding to Climate Change: Lessons from an Australian Hotspot brings together the results of cutting-edge research from members of the Griffith Climate Change Response Program, showing how best to respond to anticipated changes and how to overcome barriers to adaptation. The authors treat climate change adaptation as a cross-cutting, multi-level governance policy challenge extending across human settlements, infrastructure, ecosystems, water management, primary industries, emergency management and human health. The research focuses on, but is not limited to, the experience of climate change adaptation in the recognised climate hotspot of South East Queensland. The results of this research will be of interest to planners, policy makers and other practitioners engaged in urban and environmental planning, coastal management, public health, emergency management, and physical infrastructure at the local, regional and metropolitan government scales.

Abstract:
The Queensland fruit fly (Bactrocera tryoni) is a significant horticultural pest in Australia, and has also established in other parts of the Pacific. There is a significant risk to New Zealand of invasion by this species, and several recent incursions have occurred. The potential effects of climate change on the distribution and impacts of invasive species are well known. This paper uses species distribution modelling using Maxent to predict the suitability of New Zealand to the Queensland fruit fly based on known occurrences worldwide and Bioclim climatic layers. Under current climatic conditions the majority of the country was generally in the lower range, with some areas in the medium range. Suitability prediction maps under future climate change conditions in 2050 and 2070, at lower emission (RCP 2.6) and higher emission (RCP 8.5) scenarios generally show an increase in suitability in both the North and South Islands. Calculations of the shift of suitable areas show a general movement of the centroid towards the south-east, with the higher emission scenario showing a greater magnitude of movement.
