Recent Changes in DOC

• Restructure of Science and Technical – 2 years ago

– Centrally managed, better coordinated

– Stable

• Restructure of operations

– Sept 2013

– Service Delivery – severe pressure

– Partnerships – new teams throughout DOC

– Improving

• Boundary changes, larger Regions

Conservation Benefits from B3 • DOC Eradication pgm – exception to the rule • Effectiveness of techniques used

• Develop remote detection/surveillance tool

• AgResearch

– Detection efficacy – passive, active, general and follow-up surveillance

– Model spatial extent and population trends

– ID hot spots and habitat preferences

– Phenology model to predict seasonality

– Genetic diversity – origin, new

immigrants

• Plant & Food Research

– Odour and visual lure

development

– Parasitoid augmentation

• Luminaries visit April 2013

Conservation Benefits from B3

• Other Programmes

• Provided to many other programmes where there is

indirect benefit from a wide range of B3 outputs,

implemented by MPI - across all 5 themes

• Launch of the International Plant Sentinel Network

(IPSN) Dunedin 2013

– Myrtle rust prediction - verified

– Network provides massive global collaboration

potential

• Pathway Risk Factors: organisms associated with soil

found on sea freight entering NZ

– Phytophthora entry risk

– Red Imported Fire Ant (RIFA)

• Improved aerial application methods for wilding pine

Conservation Benefits from B3

• Other Programmes contd

• Improvements in assessing host range of deliberate and

accidental introductions

– Electrical Penetration Graph (EPG) technique for sap

sucking insect invaders – compares ingestion time

with probing time. Brown Marmorated Stink Bug?

– Improved risk assessment for non-target host

determination for BCA. Cleopus

japonicus for buddleja cf threatened

Hebe speciosa

– - Improved analysis

– of host specificity

– testing –

Future Priorities

• Any detection technique for hitchhikers, especially

associated with the containerized freight pathway

– Future Brown Marmorated Stink Bug

– Likely entry of GWB, RIFA, Painted Apple Moth.

Hadda beetle.

Future Priorities

• New efficient and workable surveillance methods

– Remote monitoring for early detection of invertebrates

– BMSB – network of traps = fruit fly?

– RIFA

• Improving surveillance efficacy by development of

methods to measure effectiveness of surveillance,

including pathogens – GWB, myrtle rust

– Measures to confirm absence at end of eradications -

RIFA

Future Priorities

• Economic, Environmental and Social consequences of

incursions – John Lovett

• How do we measure or predict these?

• Cost benefit analysis of environmental values

– GWB x4, Kauri dieback

– Willingness to pay – The Impact of Wilding Trees on Indigenous Biodiversity: A Choice Modelling

Study. Geoffrey N. Kerr & Basil M.H. Sharp. Agribusiness and Economics

Research Unit Research Report No. 303. Lincoln University. December

2007. http://www.lincoln.ac.nz/Documents/4020_RR303w_s13361.pdf

• Social Acceptance of Future Eradication Techniques

– Especially in urban environments around ports –

likely theatre of engagement

– Targeted aerial campaigns

• Improved aerial application of formulations for eradication
