dc.description.abstract |
Here, we identify current high-priority issues in New Zealand entomology. These 'critical issues' were defined by being of national entomological interest, and in urgent need of research or attention. The issues were derived in consultation with the Entomological Society of New Zealand members and as part of a workshop at the 62nd New Zealand Entomological Society Conference. We present a list of nine priority areas (presented here without any ranking priority). These areas are: 1. conserving indigenous invertebrate diversity; 2. limiting predator pressure exerted by exotic vertebrate predators; 3. limiting the effects of invasive invertebrates, especially Vespula wasps in honeydew beech forests; understanding the influence of pesticides and pathogens on honey bees; 4. maintaining and enhancing efficient biosecurity systems to keep out invasive pests and diseases; 5. enhancing support for taxonomy; 6. enhancing entomological teaching, training and support for entomology graduates; 7. utilising the hidden knowledge of retired entomologists; and 8. supporting amateurs in entomology. For each of these topics we briefly discuss the state of the current situation or knowledge gaps. We consider this a road map to enhance entomology in New Zealand. © 2014 The Entomological Society of New Zealand. |
