Me hanga te anga toi-ahurea ki ngā mātauranga Māori, ki ngā mātauranga tauiwi hoki kia tiakina tika ai ēnei momo koiora. Heoi anō, ko te katoa o ngā hua i puta i tēnei pātuitanga, tē aro atu ai. Ko tētahi take kāore i whai hua ai ngā rautaki me ngā tūkanga i tukuna, ko te korenga o te whakauru i te ahurea Māori ki roto i te puāwaitanga o te mātauranga me te korenga o te renarena o ngā whenu o te pātuitanga. E tonoa ana e mātou he anga toi-ahurea mō te oranga tonutanga o ngā nukuwai, nā runga i ngā huritao me ngā tātaritanga o te pātuitanga e hāngai ana ki te hūnukutanga o tētahi momo poroka Māori (Leiopelma archeyi) ki ngā wāhi e rua o roto i te rohe pōtae o Waikato/Tainui, Aotearoa. I huritaotia e ngā kaituhi, Māori mai, tauiwi mai, ō rātou wheako, ā rātou akoranga me ō rātou whakaaro i a rātou i whakatū i tēnei pātuitanga mō te kaupapa hūnuku i tū i taua rohe. Ko ētahi o ēnei huānga ka whakamāramahia e ngā tuhinga e whakamahi ana i ngā mātāpono rangahau kaupapa Māori. Ko te rerenga 'Piri tahi, mahi tahi, tuhi tahi' te anga e whakarāpopoto ai i ngā kitenga i kitea whai muri i tā mātou mahinga tahi.

Abstract:In New Zealand, it is a legal requirement to involve local Maori people in making decisions about the management of treasured species, and in carrying out that management. This requires a safe space in which both Maori perspectives and western scientific perspectives on how to protect these species can be included. Yet, the full benefits of having such a partnership are usually overlooked, and the protocols and strategies applied have often failed to incorporate Maori culture in the creation of knowledge and in maintaining the relationship. Here we propose a novel framework for amphibian conservation, based on an analysis of a twoway partnership developed during the translocation of a native frog species between two areas in the King Country. The framework 'get together, work together, write together' was identified after Maori and non-Maori authors reflected on the experiences, learnings and thoughts that they had during the partnership associated with this translocation project. 'Get together' refers to building a relationship that provides people with a sense of belonging (whanaungatanga). 'Work together' refers to the cooperative exchange of knowledge, and 'write together' refers to the contribution of new approaches and ways of carrying out research that incorporates all partners' voices. This study provides evidence of the feasibility of partnerships and their long-ter...
Animals adopt different strategies to communicate by means of sound in noisy environments such that some species increase, while others decrease their vocal activity in the presence of interference. Anuran amphibians from diverse latitudes exhibit both kinds of responses. Recent studies have shown that males of Batrachyla taeniata and Batrachyla antartandica from the temperate austral forest do not call in response to the presentation of advertisement calls of sympatric congeneric species. In contrast, Batrachyla leptopus responds to these signals in a similar way as to conspecific calls. The responsiveness of B. taeniata to natural abiotic interference has also been tested and found that noises of such sources produce strong increases in vocal activity. To assess the diversity in responsiveness to acoustic intrusion in this group, we exposed males of B. leptopus and B. antartandica to prolonged pre‐recorded natural abiotic noises of wind, creek, rain, and to a band‐pass noise centered at 2,000 Hz, at 67 dB Sound Pressure Level (SPL). The subjects did not increase their vocal activity significantly when exposed to these sounds and to band‐pass noise at increasing intensities (55–79 dB SPL). These results contrast with the increase in vocal activity observed previously in B. taeniata to continuous abiotic noise and point to the existence of diverse strategies to confront acoustic intrusion among related species. The lack of vocal activation observed also contrasts with the responsiveness of B. leptopus to heterospecific signals, but parallels the lack of response to such sounds in B. antartandica. Furthermore, the results obtained contrast with the responsiveness of these species to synthetic prolonged sounds observed in previous studies, suggesting that the modes of responses to acoustic intrusion may depend on previous experience, rather than having a species‐specific nature.
Context Leiopelma archeyi is a threatened New Zealand amphibian species translocated for conservation purposes. A disease outbreak triggered the translocation of 70 frogs to Pureora Forest in 2006 to establish a new wild population of L. archeyi. Ten years after, 60 more frogs were translocated to this site to enhance the genetic and demographic profile of L. archeyi in Pureora Forest. Here, we analysed 14 years of capture–recapture monitoring data collected for this translocated population. Aims Our aim was to estimate population demographic parameters that allow us to assess the demographic performance of this translocated population. Methods We used spatially explicit capture–recapture (SECR; also called spatial capture–recapture) multi strata/session models to estimate population density and derive its rate of change over time. Key results Here we show that the density of translocated Leiopelma archeyi in Pureora (central North Island, New Zealand) remains stable for most of the study period. After the release of 70 frogs in 2006, density varied from 0.02 frogs/m2 in April 2007 to 0.06 frogs/m2 in December 2014. After the second release of 60 frogs in 2016, density in Pureora of L. archeyi varied from 0.21 frogs/m2 in November 2016 to 0.63 frogs/m2 in November 2018. Conclusions The study species is a long-lived k-selected species, therefore long-term monitoring (>20 years) is required to corroborate demographic indicators. Nevertheless, as the current density estimates are higher than the density estimated for this population after each release (April 2007 and November 2016), we suggest progress towards the establishment of a new wild population of L. archeyi in Pureora Forest. Implications Translocations are a useful conservation tool for many threatened species and post-release monitoring data are the main source of information needed to empirically prove their success.
