      Ioane-Warren, Melanie; Salvador, Rodrigo Brincalepe; Rogers, Karyne M.; Tennyson, Alan J. D. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-07)
      Augustus Hamilton (1853–1913) was a New Zealand ethnologist and naturalist who amassed a significant collection of fossils, mostly of birds, during his career. Today, those fossils are housed in the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (NMNZ). While some fossils have been catalogued and integrated into the collection of the NMNZ, a large part remained unsorted and uncatalogued. The present study ...

    • A New Diving Pliocene Ardenna Shearwater (Aves: Procellariidae) from New Zealand 

      Tennyson, Alan J. D.; Salvador, Rodrigo Brincalepe; Tomotani, Barbara mizumo; Marx, Felix G. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-04-06)
      We report a new species of shearwater, Ardenna buchananbrowni sp. nov., from the Pliocene of New Zealand. It is both the smallest and oldest known diving member of the genus, demonstrating that this now abundant form of shearwater has had a long presence in southern oceans. Ardenna buchananbrowni sp. nov. is among the few extinct shearwaters described from the Southern Hemisphere and adds to an ...

      A new species of giant petrel, Macronectes tinae sp. nov., is described from the Pliocene deposits of South Taranaki, New Zealand. The holotype is a near complete skull and the paratype a fragmentary left humerus; both come from the Tangahoe Formation, dating from the late Pliocene (Piacenzian or “Waipipian”; age estimated as ca. 3.36–3.06 Ma). The new species of giant petrel is the first fossil ...

    • The rapid spread of the girdled snail Hygromia cinctella in New Zealand (Gastropoda: Helicoidea) 

      Salvador, Rodrigo Brincalepe; Ravalo, Lorenzo G. O.; Tennyson, Alan J. D. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The girdled snail Hygromia cinctella originates from southern Europe but has been introduced to countries in northern Europe and, more recently, to Aotearoa New Zealand. In the latter country, the girdled snail was first noted in 2015 in Wellington, but it has since spread to other regions of the North Island. We report here the rapid spread of this exotic species in New Zealand and record its ...
