• Second language proficiency effects on cross-language positive and negative priming in Twi-English bilinguals 

  Neumann E; Nkrumah I; Chen Z (2018)

  The ability to use multiple languages selectively is an impressive feat of the human information processing system. Although bilinguals scarcely commit random cross-language errors when they speak, there is evidence that ...

  Poonthiyil V; Lindhorst TK; Golovko VB; Fairbanks AJ (2017)

  Glycoscience, despite its myriad of challenges, promises to unravel the causes of, potential new detection methods for, and novel therapeutic strategies against, many disease states. In the last two decades, glyco-gold ...

• Evidence for magmatic carbon bias in ¹⁴C dating of the Taupo and other major eruptions 

  Holdaway RN; Duffy B; Kennedy B (2018)

  Prehistoric timescales, volcanic hazard assessment, and understanding of volcanogenic climate events rely on accurate dating of prehistoric eruptions. Most late Quaternary eruptions are dated by14C measurements on material ...

• Measurements and modelling of tidal ice-shelf flexure in Antarctic grounding zones. 

  Wild, Christian T. (University of Canterbury, 2018)

  As regions of Antarctica undergo rapid melting, the inflow of freshwater leads to global sea level rise, but what exactly is Antarctica’s contribution? Current satellites cannot measure ice discharge directly, but they ...

• Geospatial Research Institute Toi Hangarau: Annual Report 2018 

  Wilson M; Kingham S; Tomintz M; Campbell M; Lustig A; Dionisio R; Walker D; Hobbs M; Marek L; Vannier C; Vega Corredor MC (GRI Toi Hangarau, 2019)

• Mode Shifts in Conversations with People with Dementia can Cause Confusion 

  Maclagan M; Davis B (2019)

  We illustrate how speakers with dementia may shift the whole mode of a conversation as well as its topic or their role in it. This can confuse their unimpaired conversation partner if that partner is less aware of features ...

• Beach cusp morphodynamics on a composite beach observed using UAV structure from motion 

  Pitman S; Hart D; Katurji M (2019)

  Beach cusps are often more prominent on beaches composed of coarse or mixed sediments, as opposed to sand alone. For cusps on mixed sediment beaches, one of the most important morphological characteristics to quantify is ...

• Genetic diversity and kelp forest vulnerability to climatic stress 

  Wernberg T; Coleman MA; Bennett S; Thomsen MS; Tuya F; Kelaher BP (2018)

  Genetic diversity confers adaptive capacity to populations under changing conditions but its role in mediating impacts of climate change remains unresolved for most ecosystems. This lack of knowledge is particularly acute ...

• Differential cosmic expansion and the Hubble flow anisotropy 

  Bolejko, K.; Nazer, M.A.; Wiltshire, D.L. (University of Canterbury. Physics and Astronomy, 2016)

  The Universe on scales 10–100 h−1Mpc is dominated by a cosmic web of voids, filaments, sheets and knots of galaxy clusters. These structures participate differently in the global expansion of the Universe: from non-expanding ...

• Introduced blackbirds and song thrushes: useful substitutes for lost mid-sized native frugivores, or weed vectors? 

  MacFarlane, A.E.T.; Kelly, D.; Briskie, J.V. (University of Canterbury. Biological Sciences, 2016)

  The New Zealand avifauna has declined from human impacts, which might leave some larger-seeded native plants vulnerable to dispersal failure. We studied fruit dispersal in a lowland secondary forest near Kaikoura, where ...

• Replicating Arabidopsis Model Leaf Surfaces for Phyllosphere Microbiology 

  Soffe R; Bernach M; Remus-Emsermann M; Nock V (2019)

  Artifcial surfaces are commonly used in place of leaves in phyllosphere microbiology to study microbial behaviour on plant leaf surfaces. These surfaces enable a reductionist approach to be undertaken, to enable individual ...

• Variability of Acoustically Evidenced Methane Bubble Emissions Offshore Western Svalbard 

  Veloso-Alarcon ME; Janson P; De Batiste M; Minshulls TA; Westbrook GK; Paelike H; Bunz S; Wright I; Greinert J (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2019)

  Large reservoirs of methane present in Arctic marine sediments are susceptible to rapid warming, promoting increasing methane emissions. Gas bubbles in the water-column can be detected and flow-rates can be quantified ...

• Ar-Ar age constraints on the timing of Havre Trough opening and magmatism 

  Wysoczanski R; Leonard G; Gill J; Wright I; Calvert A; McIntosh W; Jicha B; Gamble J; Timm C; Handler M; Drewes-Todd E; Zohrab A (Informa UK Limited, 2019)

  The age and style of opening of the Havre Trough back-arc system is uncertain due to a lack of geochronologic constraints for the region. 40Ar/39Ar dating of 19 volcanic rocks from across the southern Havre Trough and ...

• Linking species functional roles to their network roles 

  Coux, C.; Rader, R.; Bartomeus, I.; Tylianakis, J.M. (University of Canterbury. Biological Sciences, 2016)

  Species roles in ecological networks combine to generate their architecture, which contributes to their stability. Species trait diversity also affects ecosystem functioning and resilience, yet it remains unknown whether ...

• Evaluation of Parsons Problems with Menu-Based Self-Explanation Prompts in a Mobile Python Tutor 

  Fabic GVF; Mitrovic A; Neshatian K (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019)

  The overarching goal of our project is to design effective learning activities for PyKinetic, a smartphone Python tutor. In this paper, we present a study using a variant of Parsons problems we designed for PyKinetic. Parsons ...

• The role of the anterior lateral eyes in the vision-based behaviour of jumping spiders 

  Zurek DB; Taylor AJ; Evans CS; Nelson XJ (COMPANY OF BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2010)

  Jumping spiders, or salticids, sample their environment using a combination of two types of eyes. The forward-facing pair of 'principal' eyes have narrow fields of view, but exceptional spatial resolution, while the two ...

• Enchancement of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) accumulation in Arxula adeninivorans by stabilization of production
