Gold nugget morphology and geochemical environments of nugget formation, southern New Zealand
Gold nuggets (centimetre scale) have formed in a supergene alteration zone on
hydrothermal gold deposits, and occur intergrown with quartz and iron oxyhydroxide …

Rapid biological speciation driven by tectonic evolution in New Zealand
Collisions between tectonic plates lead to the rise of new mountain ranges that can separate
biological populations and ultimately result in new species. However, the identification of …

Geology shapes biogeography: Quaternary river-capture explains New Zealand's biologically 'composite'Taieri River
Geological processes are hypothesised to strongly affect species distributions. In particular,
a combination of geological and biological data has suggested that tectonic processes can …

Transport-related mylonitic ductile deformation and shape change of alluvial gold, southern New Zealand
Gold is a malleable metal, and detrital gold particles deform via internal distortion. The
shapes of gold particles are commonly used to estimate transport distances from sources …

Biological memory of the first Pleistocene glaciation in New Zealand
Living species retain memories of their evolutionary history in their DNA, and that
evolutionary history commonly reflects distinct geological events, such as mountain building …

Within‐river genetic connectivity patterns reflect contrasting geomorphology
Aim To test the hypothesis that geomorphological features, shaped by underlying geology,
can influence within‐river connectivity patterns in freshwater‐limited fishes. Location Rivers …
