Understanding the kauri dieback arms race
In every ecosystem, invisible wars are being waged between pathogens and their targets.
Plants are under constant threat, and in response have developed a complex immune system to help defend themselves from pathogens.
In turn, pathogens have developed weapons to overcome these defences, leading to an ongoing arms race as each one adapts in an effort to win the battle. Read more...

Research suggests introduced wasps are not all bad
They’re the stinging, flying pests we all love to hate. But introduced Asian and Australian paper wasps may play a more complex ecological role in New Zealand than thought, and may even help to control some agricultural pests.
“Introduced wasps are regarded as an ecological pest in New Zealand, because in beech forests they compete with native species for honeydew as a food,” says Bio-Protection Research Centre Director Prof Travis Glare. Read more...

Scientists warn of increasing threat of invasive species
International researchers are warning that the threats posed by invasive alien species are increasing rapidly.
In a new study they say that urgent action is required to prevent, detect, and control invaders, but also point to New Zealand as showing the way forward. Read more...

New insights into the success and impacts of plant invasions
How does the introduction of non-native species affect interactions between native plants, animals, and microbes?
A long-running Bio-Protection Research Centre project has been investigating how plant invasions change existing ecological interactions – and lead to new ones. Some of the results have been surprising. Read more...

Bioprotection Aotearoa vital to tackling future challenges
|
|
|
Bioprotection Aotearoa, a new Centre of Research Excellence that builds on the whakapapa of the BPRC, has been funded for 7.5 years, starting in July.
It brings in several new research partners, and takes a more holistic approach, integrating Western science with Mātauranga Māori. Watch the video, which outlines the philosophy behind Bioprotection Aotearoa, and read more here.

Marsden Fund success for bioprotection scientists
Six scientists with the Bio-Protection Research Centre, or who are part of the new Bioprotection Aotearoa research team, have been awarded $4.9 million in research funding in the 2020 Marsden Fund round.
BPRC Director Prof Travis Glare says their success shows the importance of bioprotection research to New Zealand, and the calibre of the scientists involved in the new Bioprotection Aotearoa Centre of Research Excellence (CoRE). Bioprotection Aotearoa will be replacing the BPRC from July 2021. Read more...

Webinars take our research to global research audiences
The future co-directors of Bioprotection Aotearoa recently took the BPRC's research to global audiences through two research webinars
Prof Travis Glare was one of two presenters in an Australian-hosted webinar explaining the place of biopesticides in sustainable agriculture. Watch this informative webinar here.
And Dr Amanda Black was one of three presented in a FEMS Microbiology Ecology Webinar on Ecology of Soil Microorganisms. Her presentation explained recent work analysing soil microbial diversity in kauri forests and pine plantations.

Dr Artemio Mendoza and Dist Prof Steve Wratten both won funding from the Massey Lincoln and Agricultural Industry Trust, two of just six successful applications. Artemio was awarded $150,000 for his project "Bioprospecting fungal volatile compounds for sustainable forest health" and Steve was awarded $140,000 for his project "Biological control of insect pests: a new, multidisciplinary joint approach with the tomato industry."
Research technician Norma Merrick received a Lincoln University Wellbeing Award for taking on a daytime security role with Student Accommodation during lockdown (on top of her usual duties), to ensure the 115 students remaining on campus were safe and happy.
Prof Peter Fineran and Dist Prof Philip Hulme both made the Web of Science most highly cited list for 2020.
Dr Nick Waipara of the University of Auckland Plant & Food Research won the staff Pūtaiao Award for “significant contribution to supporting and developing kaupapa Māori within the school or wider university".
Lincoln University PhD candidate Jesse Rubenstein won the New Zealand Plant Protection Society Dan Watkins' Scholarship for 2020.
Dist Prof Philip Hulme was awarded a Miegunyah Distinguished Visiting Fellowship to spend April 2021 at the University of Melbourne, working with the Centre for Excellence in Biosecurity Risk Analysis. His fellowship will include giving a public lecture on building better biosecurity in the wake of a pandemic.

Lincoln University Master's student Alana Thurston has received a Te Papa Atawhai (Department of Conservation) postgraduate scholarship for 2021. She also won the Master's section of the Lincoln University 2020 Three-Minute Thesis, competition, and was placed second overall. She presented on finding a solution to kauri dieback by investigating the role that fungicides might play in treating the disease.
The work of Prof Travis Glare and his team on Brevibacillus, a bacterium that kills caterpillars and some other insects, resulted in an award for Pukekohe-based biopesticides company Ecolibrium Biologicals. The bacteria was discovered in a project led by John Hampton and developed in the Next Generation Biopesticides programme.
University of Canterbury students Joanna Green (aligned) and John Ramana won awards at the University of Canterbury Annual Biology Conference. Joanna won the Best Tree Award for her presentation “Plant community structure affects future invasion/reinvasion”. John won the Best Overall Presentation for “Linking plant root traits with arbuscular mycorrhizal community composition and function”.
Caroline Saunders was awarded Lincoln University’s most prestigious title of Distinguished Professor in November, in recognition of her international influence, reputation and achievement in her field of trade and environmental economics.
Prof Paul Dalziel was elected Life Member at the 2020 AGM of the Australia and New Zealand Regional Science Association International (ANZRSAI) in December 2020.
