Presenting: Moa in the NZ Large Herbivore Niche Space

In the vacuum created by an absence of large terrestrial mammals primeval New Zealand nonetheless hosted a significant biomass of large avian herbivores collectively referred to as Moa. This diversity comprised 8/9 species and they appear to have had a distinctive co-evolutionary impact on the New Zealand flora. This was an archaic lineage of birds known as Palaeognaths which may have been a part of the original Gondwanan rifting event that detached the New Zealand craton from Antarctica some 80mya. This seminar will examine the current state of knowledge around the history, diversity and ecological role of Moa in this country. 


This awesome talk is a free event, and a koha is appreciated to help cover hall hire.
