Biology Aotearoa: Unique Flora, Fauna and Fungi
Author(s): Parsons & Bishop
As a large, isolated and relatively ancient landmass, New Zealand occupies a unique place in the biological world, with distinctive terrestrial biota and a high proportion of primitive endemic forms. Biology Aotearoa covers the origins, evolution and conservation of the New Zealand flora, fauna and fungi. Each chapter is written by specialists in the field, often working from different perspectives to build up a comprehensive picture. Topics include:
- the geological history of our land
- origins, and evolution of our plants, animals and fungi
- current status of rare and threatened species
- past, present and future management of native species
- the effect of human immigration on the native biota.
