An overview of the animal life of pre-human Central Otago, and how it interacted with the vegetation

A talk by Jamie Wood. Jamie will portray some initial results of his PhD research, looking at a reconstruction of the prehuman fauna and flora and their interactions, using vertebrate, plant (leaves, wood, seeds, pollen) and invertebrate (focusing on beetles) sub-fossils found in lowland areas of Central Otago. At the Zoology Benham Building, 346 Great King Street, behind the Zoology car park by the Captain Cook Hotel.
