Moller, H. 1984 Tree wetas (Hemideina crassicruris) (Orthoptera: Stenopelmatidae) of Stephens Island, Cook Strait. New Zealand Journal of Zoology: 1985 Vol 12: 55-69.
· Talks about two separate island restoration projects with tree weta populations, stephens island and
· Tuataras important native predator of weta on these island reserves and they probably stop the tree weta from moving to the forest floor. Very well outlined in this article
· This article is good because it is all about another experiment and goes into several monitoring methods as well as results. However, it is very old (1984) and some of the claims that Mr. Moller makes have been disproven. If you use something from this article make sure to fact check it with current information.
